It’s funny since I go from Pond’s to La Mer. My friend Edward is a big YouTuber and he would make fun of me. I started using it and noticed my skin just glows and it’s different. “I use La Mer cream because it really works. I’ll then wipe away with a towel or if there’s excess, I’ll use a makeup wipe from Maybelline. I got this stuff from ULTA it’s called Philosophy. “Gently rub the cleanser on your face to remove the makeup. Put a little on your face with full makeup.” They say it’s for old people and grandmas but it does the job. But nothing is as efficient Pond’s Cold Cream.

Below, Soju tells us how she gets unready from the night. “It is, but I want to be very successful at both, which is the challenge,” Soju tells us. Throwing punches by day, throwing shade by night – it must be exhausting. No one knows from either world that I have two different lives.” “I’m a very skilled Tae Kwon Do instructor and I’m also this drag queen. “I’m the Hannah Montana of drag,” Soju says over the phone, to Very Good Light.
