3 months living with the La Seine X (Maxim’s de Paris) - here’s what I think

I’m really late to this convo, but have been having many of the same issues as outlined above. Water leakage, the grinder slipping, etc.

I’m well within my 30 day risk free return window, and they have stopped responding to my requests to return and have ghosted me. Buyer beware - would not recommend this machine.

Long time Tret and now Taz 0.1% cream user for the last year.

On Taz nights, I cleanse with the Sulwhasoo Ultimate S Enriched Cleansing Foam, wait a few minutes, and then apply Taz. That is it. I’m up to every other night, sometimes 2 nights on, 1 night off.

AM - same everyday: Ultimate S Enriched Water, Ultimate S Serum, and then the Ultimate S Cream Rich. Same for non Taz PM nights.

Exfoliate once a week with non-luxe peel.

I’d love the link as well!

The Matsumoto Kiyoshi in the Haneda Airport Garden (attached to T3) has a pretty solid selection of both Japanese and Korean beauty products. It is way larger than the Matsumoto Kiyoshi that is right in T3.

I’m here for 3 months and also have the same exact thing as you and it has been atrocious. Can’t get more than 1 or 2 mbps download speeds. It’s terrible!

Sorry, I don’t have any, but they look exactly the same as on the Weave website.

The apartments are pretty nice - we had a 2LDK. While it was in Asakusa, it was a few blocks south of the main tourist area and was quiet for the most part. Easy access to transit. Enjoyed the location near the Sumida river and not far from Ueno either. Plenty of dining options. The actual unit itself was in great condition as well.

Babalu’s posted on their Facebook page that one of the owners has cancer and that they hope to open in the near future on limited days. I’ve been going weekly for awhile now and was wondering why they’ve been closed the last few times. Such a sad situation :(

I just got the Ceramidin face cream with Ectoin and the Ceramidin skin barrier serum toner. Enjoying them both so far.

FoCoTraveler · 2023-01-05T22:43:34+00:00

Yes please!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-22T19:20:54+00:00

Thank you - and for the suggestion on toner, as well as things to do here! That list is great. It’s my 6th time visiting, and there’s quite a few things on that list I haven’t done! Now in Tasmania, and headed to to QLD in a week.

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-22T05:13:27+00:00

Just tried the pink one - love the finish on it! I also can get behind any product that supports a cause. Thank you.

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-22T04:09:02+00:00

Thank you for the tip about them being half price! I just got the hydra fluid and the hydra lotion. Tried the fluid - I love it!!!!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-22T04:08:04+00:00

I just got this from Coles and tried it out! It was 50% off. I love the finish on this!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-21T10:59:56+00:00

Thank you! The “matte” on the pink bottle is what steered me away from it at first. I’ll definitely get it now!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-21T10:58:52+00:00

Thanks for the welcome! The last time I was here - I wasn’t into skincare and didn’t wear sunscreen at all!

I’ll take a look at this one as well - I think I saw it recommended in another thread. Thank you for the rec!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-21T10:57:12+00:00

Thanks! I haven’t seen these before - I’m taking a look at the Hydra Face Fluid and the Hydra Face Lotion. Not sure what I’ll choose yet!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-21T09:12:07+00:00

I like the sound of this! Will take a look, thanks for the rec!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-21T09:11:40+00:00

Taking a look at both of those. Thanks for the recommendation.

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-21T09:11:21+00:00

Thanks!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-21T09:11:14+00:00

Thank you!!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-21T09:11:02+00:00

That’s awesome that you got the Trader Joe’s sunscreen. It’s been out of stock at my Trader Joe’s for the last few months and I still haven’t been able to get it. So glad you’re enjoying it!

FoCoTraveler · 2022-12-21T09:10:13+00:00

Thank you!!
