Haul from Korea

Happy mid-week! How's everyone coping?

HB went for business trip in Korea last month and how could I not ask him to buy me some Korea skincare and cosmetics! 

This are what I ask him to bring back (I only asked him to get some leaders solution mask, etude house eye primer & CLIO gelpresso)  
But he came back with more!
  
Ta Daa~


Samples~

Been hearing good reviews about this and some even say this is almost comparable to Urban Decay's. Sad to say this is no longer available, the only way to get it is from Qoo10 (previously known as Gmarket) I just saw this in Etude house recently. Probably they brought it back after many complaints? lol!

Etude House Eye Primer

My UD 24/7 pencil eyeliner in black did smudge after a few hours, but this is sufficient. Without this, the same eyeliner will smudge within an hour. I'm waiting to try this on my other eyeliner.
Warning: As I'm only using BB Cream as foundation, it appeared a lil' pale on my lids as if I'm using a pale eyeshadow when I'm staring at myself in the mirror. From far it looked ok to me.

Many claimed that this eyeliner will not smudge. I wonder how true is this.





 
CLIO gelpresso

BB cream that
he bought for (I did not ask him to). Actually I did but did not specified which brand so he got me this.



















Faceshop Faceit BB Cream

This is great! the staying power is comparable to Etude house's precious mineral BB Cream, but slightly lesser coverage. I'm still trying this out to see if it will cause some blemishes (not pimples) like the etude house's.














Assorted masks from missha

I have not tried out the masks yet, hope the leaders solution ones really delivers.

I've been lazy lately to use those mask + those I've had in my cupboard.

I think these are the norms that everyone will get when in Korea. Is there other items anyone out there will buy in Korea? Leave me a msg will ya!

Friday Photo Meme - GSS


It’s Friday again!

This time its all about things I've bought during the GSS season. not all of them are having promotions when I bought them, so keep a lookout for more promotions in the stores =)

1.  uCozy 
This is relatively new as I just got it in June. It is part of the bundle deal with uRelax that I got from OSIM during GSS. It cost S$138 separately (S$188 for the uRelax), but the bundle cost only S$288. The most exciting part? HB paid for it. Ha!

2. Heels from Pedro

Can you believe that it cost only S$39.90? part of the GSS sales item. UP S$89

3. uRelax
Actually this belongs to HB, which is now 'stationed' in the living room. Everyone treat it as a normal seat cushion now, occassionally, kids will play with the vibrating mode at the seat (read: area where the butt sits on). Now, it just sits at the dinning chair in the living room collecting dust! haha.

4. Sunplay UV Body Mist Sunblock SPF80 PA++ 


Sorry, the Mayasia site is the closest place I can find. I decided to get this baby (S$17.90 from Watsons, non promotional price) after seeing reviews from Alexis. Different product, but for the same purpose.

I have not tried this out yet, hope I will(can) use this religiously as I'm so lazy to apply anything on my skin (other than face) after my bath, especially prior to going out, unless I'm exercising.
I've managed to try this for once (at last!) it asorbed pretty quickly and the 'oily-ness'' (omg is there such word?) does not stay for long. I have to keep re-applying before i actually step out for the activity cause I thought I did not apply to those areas when I actually did!

The only down point is as it is a spray, some of it will tend to get onto the floor and if you remember, it is oily. Lucky for me I spray it in the bathroom. i did not try rinsing it away but I think I should not be a hassel rinsing it off.

5. Office wear

I want to know what items you guys out there bought during GSS too. Feel free to comment n leave me your link ya =DD
