Korea Haul~~

Below are some of the stuff, but not all, haha, that I bought in Korea. I didnt upload all cos it will really be too much. Hehe . Korea is really a cosmetics and skin care heaven for ladies!!!



Actually before going to Korea, I had done lots of research on what cosmetic brand to buy in Korea, looking at blogs, reviews and youtube on what ppl buy in Korea. I had a pretty long list and some of these brands are not avail in SG.



First, Baviphat! This is not available in SG, and the prices are really really good. It has a cute pink and black ribbon paper bag too!





Love these lip gloss, I bought these for my colleagues!





2 blushers and 1 eyeshadow, havent tried them out yet. Color looks pretty!



Paprika pore minimising toner. The essence was out of stock, which is reakky sad, cos i saw good reviews for it. I bought 2 toners, it smells divine and i think my pores did become a little smaller. Love this!!!



BB cream which I have yet to try it out yet. Hee!




Some shopping at the minimart, trying out these korean stuff we dont see in SG.



This brownie tastes really really YUMMY!



Skin79 from Dongdaemung. I bought this for my mummy, its the oriental set and it comes with 2 BB cream, 2 sun powder, 1 eye cream, 1 concealer, 1 night cream, 1 highlighter! Really really worth it for just 69 or 79k won! And the free gift was 4 mini bb cream which is convenient for travelling use! This 4 pcs mini bb cream is selling at $19.90 at Watsons by the way. And I got it free with such a fab package! Woohoo!

This is a keychain i bought in Everland, white tiger with purple ball of fur. Hee

Leopard print cape! I love it! It keeps me warm and it looks so pretty! It comes with 2 paws below which is attached to the cape, I can put a heat pack inside and slide my hands in and it will keep me warm. Love love love...

Bought some souveniurs as well, this set of stainless steel cutlery has tiger print on it, bought it for my dad, who is born in the year of the tiger.



Myeongdong haul!

Love this cleanser from Innisfree!! I saw good reviews on someones blog and tried it out. Really nice apple smell and cleanses well! I like....

3 step blackhead kit. Really cute as it has 1,2,3 labelled on the tubes inside haha.


Eyelashes from FaceShop. For my prewedding shoot and Actual Day. It costs only 1000 or 1500 won each and all comes with the glue. I have heard good things about their glue so i went on a spree! Bought eye liner as well. Hee

Etude House! My longest shopping list comes from this place. Haha!
This is AC Clinic, the balm is apparently good for lightening acne scars, I heard good reviews online as well, so i bought this for my bro and myself. Going to try it out!


Lipsticks for me and mummy! I like the LUCIdarling range as the colour is really strong and its quite moisturising but not like sticky. Been searching for a nude colour lipstick for sometime cos my lips are a tad dark, but the No 11 works great for me! With some smokey eyeshadows, and my lipstick, i think i will look like a korean. Haha.. And the best thing? It costs like $9 dollars there, compared to like 20-30 bucks here. Whew...

Footmasks from Beauty Credit. I tried it once, my feet was quite soft and moisturized. My heel also peeled a little. Not bad
CastleDew!!!! I was really afraid I wasnt going to be able to get this because I googled and i cant find anywhere selling this in Myeongdong. It doesnt have a shop by itself like Etude or Faceshop, its sold inside shops like Sasa which you really gotta go in and explore. Once again, I saw this brand online, whille doing research on what to buy. Saw its really really pretty packaging and saw good reviews for it. Apparantly its really shimmery and so I was so excited when I saw this in the Duty Free shop my tour group brought us to. So happy!! I have not tried this yet, this is so pretty. May try it during new year. Heee



Nail polish from Faceshop, from Dutyfree shop
The Odbo silky essence from Dutyfree shop, this brand is under Faceshop but its not avail in SG as well. The silky essence they claim works like SKII, it comes out in a gel form, but when applying, it becomes wattery and smells refreshing! I think its a really great product for skincare. Keeps my skin moisturized and soft. Heee...
BB cream, only 1 color avail and they say it adjusts to your skin color. I bought 2, havent tried it out yet cos im still trying to finish my current bb cream. Hee!


Really cute gold sticker to paste on ur HP to reduce radiation. I bought for myself and my family!

Free gifts!

More Korea Pics!

Below are some of the pics taken by the local photographer who is attached to our tour group. The resolution is not so good but the photos r really clear and nice. I was lazy to scan it in so i used my digital camera to take pics of the photos haha
