S E O U L (1) : K-Cosmetics Heaven, Myeong-dong [명동]

Here is my first Korea travel post. There will be a total of 6 parts, and I have to tell you it was difficult to limit it to just 6. I took so, so many photos that it took some time to choose and edit. I was thinking what should be up first and figured why not start with Myeong-dong, the K-cosmetics heaven. After all, this is mainly a beauty blog lol. Well, let's get started!

Korea Haul !!

Hey guys! So I figured I'd write a quick post on my Korea haul before getting into all the travel posts. I didn't buy lots of things because it was more of a sightseeing trip than a shopping trip. Well, I kind of regret it now that I didn't buy everything I wanted since it was my mom paying for everything lol. I got most of these from Myeong-dong, which was like the best shopping street ever! I'll get more into that in my upcoming Myeong-dong post. Without any further ado, let me share with you my humble Korea haul :)

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam Review

Yay to the first review of 2015! I thought why not start off with one of the most raved about product from The Face Shop, the Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam? I have heard so many good things about it but really haven't had a chance to try it out since my beloved Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam literally lasted me forever. Anyway, the Sulwhasoo eventually ran out and I decided to get this since it was on sale. Even if it wasn't on sale, it costs only a small fraction of the Sulwhasoo. Well, my budget is pretty tight lately so a cheaper alternative is a good idea. Continue reading to know more about this bestselling cleansing foam!

Mamonde First Energy Serum Review

Hey, ok, so it's been a while! I'm kind of busy these days since I'm studying Korean, and you know, learning a language can take up a lot of your time. I'm also in the process of applying to a language school in Korea so that adds up to the workload :) Anyway, let's get on to what I'm here to talk about today. Recently, Mamonde has become quite popular with Thai bloggers. So many of them talked about the brand and raved about their star product, the First Energy Serum. I was not really familiar with Mamonde, but a swarm of positive reviews made me curious so I decided it's worth a try. I've been using this religiously for over 2 weeks, and I think I've reached a verdict on it. Keep on reading to find out if it lives up to the expectation!

Best Toner for Normal to Dry Skin - Clarins Toning Lotion with Camomile Review

A couple of days ago, I bought my third bottle of Clarins Toning Lotion with Camomile, and I realized that I have yet to review this awesome product on my blog. It's very rare that I repurchase any skincare more than twice, so me buying this for the third time says a lot about how great a toner it is. If you are looking for a toner that does more than toning your skin, make sure to read on after the jump!

Christmas Gift Guide For Her

Running out of gifts idea is one problem many people (including me) often encounter during Christmas. You can always ask your friends and family what they would like to receive, but that basically ruins the surprise. Plus, if you were to ask, the answer is most likely 'anything' - it's probably the most hated word during holiday season lol. Here, I have compiled a short list of some things that I think would be a perfect gift. I hope this gift guide will give you some idea on what to give your loved ones this coming Christmas!
