You guys, my love for the Korean show Descendants of the Sun has led me down the rabbit hole of Korean skin care after drooling over the flawless skin of all the actors and actresses on that show. I know, I know...I'm 10 years behind this trend, but better late than never, right?
So, I've always double-cleansed, but have tried using sheet masks just recently and I love it! I'm lucky enough to live not too far from Pacific Mall, which makes it easy to get Asian goodies.
Then, I got The Little Book of Skin Care by Charlotte Cho, and I became obsessed with the whole Korean routine! This book is well-written, and I learned more about the famous "10 steps". I also love how it's part travelogue, where the author discusses some aspects of the Korean culture in a very light-hearted way. I highly recommend this book (I even have this downloaded on my phone so I can read it anytime.)
such cute illustrations
And so, this is what happened...a stop at The Face Shop. Its stores are literally everywhere in my area, and I can't believe I've never gone in one before. Got such great service over there. I came in just to buy sheet masks, and ended up getting these...
The Therapy set
More sheet masks. The 3-step mask on the right is a freebie.
...and so, thought I'd share this video that YouTube beauty vlogger Meejmuse (Jen) did of makeup shopping in Korea. I want to go there now!
What can I say? I'm hooked!
What have you bought lately? Do you do the Korean skin care routine?
Yes I'm all about K-skincare and have a multi-product routine developed over the years that I strictly follow. I became obsessed after watching my first K-drama years ago. Even the guys have incredible skin XD
So funny that you're watching RM. SJK was cute on there but he never really stood out much because the other personalities are so big. It was good training for him though. I've moved on to Signal to keep the DOTS withdrawal away. The SongSong's are like the cutest drunks ever. I loved how they had the same behaviour.
I don't really seek out Korean skin care products, but I do like a good face mask. I'm trying to do them more often (like on Sundays). And I do have a few Asian skin care products that are fun to use, like SK-II.
I never got into Asian skincare back when I was living in Malaysia and now all I want is Asian skincare and makeup but they are hard to get my hands on. Small town living...sigh. I do love THEFACESHOP, they have really good sheet mask and their curling mascara is the best!
Korean skincare is the absolute best in the world right now! I want to try some too! Have a great day beauty! Are you there under the mask right? Just kidding ;-) big kiss
I saw the first episode of season six. Not as much I expected to happened did. Ended too short.
I did expect Brienne to save Sansa and Theon. Never expected the sand snakes to kill Prince Doran and his son. I don't think Oberyn would have wanted that.
I just bought and read that book not too long ago, too ;) I'm using it for ideas to make completely natural korean inspired products for my body care line and I've been testing some things from my local Korean store. I would love to live near Pacific Mall like you do, but maybe tha'd be detrimental to my bank account, haha.
I have used some Asian skincare mostly Korean and Japanese skincare brands, but only facial masks and some makeup. I am into sheet masks, so will have to look out for more like these. Have a great day Emmy. Art Book For Foodies
I've tried Skin Food and Etude House. I love Asian skincare and would love to try more. Will definitely check out her channel Emmy! To shop there would be AMAZING! http://www.averysweetblog.com/
Ampoules.. riiiight.. I'm lucky if I can remove my makeup, cleanse and put on moisturizer.. :D I have to admit though, I'm almost back to my initial pre-baby routine, I do have a bit more time on my hands now. I was recommended spf 50 from now on, I have been all of a sudden blessed with some hyperpigmentation. Yay.. not. I only have a Bb cream from the Korean range, Lioelle.
I remove my makeup with coconut oil and moisturize with the same stuff I've been using for ten years and use a pore strip on my nose a few times a week. Ok, I lied - sometimes I don't take the makeup off. It's erasing my art work! So hard!
If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?
I don't think you can go wrong with anything that has The Beatles on it....right? no-name shirt bought from the CNE, Hot Topic pants, Topshop chelsea boots I swear...she's gonna start her own blog soon. What a ham! Do you like The Beatles?
Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
