Finally, I posted my HUGE Korean Haul on the blog and uploading a video on my YouTube! I am really sorry for the late post and also a bad quality of my video. I don’t know why my camera doesn’t cooperate well with me this time. Anyway, here on the blog I’ll posted a more detailed description and a little review to the products I’ve tried.
Burt’s Bee Beeswax Lip Balm
I forgot to put it on my video, but I’m putting it on the blog. I randomly bought a lip balm to cure my dry lips due to drying windy weather. I didn’t bring mine at that time because I don’t know that Korea is that cold when it’s spring season. I bought this one just because I’m curious with the goodness of Burt’s Bee. Well, it works pretty good, but I think I bought the wrong flavor. My lips feel a little bit stings when I applied it on my very dry skin. And I didn’t really enjoy that sensation. But overall, I pretty liked it.
Clio Kill Cover Stick and Liquid Concealer
 |
| "Only one coat is enough to cover like a professional artist" |
I bought this product because of Pony Beauty used it and a review of mysugarcoffee.com. It has a good reputation for their cover. Many Korean beauty artists also use this particular product. I haven’t try both of them yet, because I still have my Innisfree and Clinique concealer to finished. And also I’ve bought The Faceshop’s dual concealer that still unused. I bought the stick concealer for KRW 12,800 or around $12.80.
Dr. Jart Ctrl-A Spot Out and Drying Spot Corrector
If you watched my "Empties 2015" video and read my blog post about it, you might know that I really like my Ctrl-A Spot Out product. It does a great job for my acne. To compliment it, I also bought the drying spot corrector. It creates a great duo! Even though sometimes the spot corrector does not correct the scars because of the popped out acne. Since I bought on a drugstore in Korea named Olive Young, I got a cheaper price than the department stores. I also got a great deal because the products I bought come into a set with smaller size of toner and facial foam. I was happy to purchase those deal!
Etude House Proof 10 Auto Pencil Eyeliner
I don’t really know about the goodness of auto pencil eyeliner when the first time I bought it. But after I used it, I found using eyeliner could be this easy! It also doesn’t smudge at all even though I wear it on my waterline. I prefer an gel pencil eyeliner these days than a liquid one or a pen one. I really recommend this eyeliner for newbie and someone who are short in money, because it only cost for 6,000 KRW or around $6.
Etude House My Beauty Tool Eye Blending Brush #311
I’ve been searching for a complete set of brush for my eyes, but reluctant to buy it. In the end I didn’t buy a full set, but I bought few brushes that I might actually need. I don’t really bother to use eye makeup everyday, so I didn’t need the urge to buy all of it immediately. But since, I was in Korea, I think the brushes are quite cheap so I bought the one that I really need. This brush is quite soft and it’s PINK! This brush is only 5,000 KRW more or less $5!
Etude House Pink Water (Sample)
Etude House just launched a new skincare line called Pink Water. I haven't try it yet, but I think this one was launched for spring and summer time. I'll try this skincare when I travel. If any of you have tried this line, leave the comments down below.
(The) Faceshop The Therapy First Serum
I’m not sure if this one is a serum or sort of toner. Because it was said this one is the first step. Regardless of the confusing name, I still bought it because of the work its’ done. It was refreshing and soothing in a light way. I bought it with a special promotion which it included a cotton pad! I was impressed with the cotton pads in Korea, because I think it was high quality but cheap in the same time.
Faceshop Character Mask(s)
Honestly I haven’t tried it yet, but soon I’ll give an updated review about this product particularly. (SOON!)
Holika Holika Pro Beauty Foxy Eyeliner #01
I knew this product because of Pony from PONY Makeup. I bought this just because of curiosity. And I think this eyeliner will do a great job as my Etude House Proof 10 Eyeliner. This product cost a little bit expensive from the Etude House one, which is 7,900 KRW.
Holika Holika Soda Pore Light Cleansing Oil
This is my first cleansing oil! I knew that the best one is Shu Eumura’s, but on the cheaper side, the Internet said that this one is quite good. Jen from Meejmuse also have mentioned that it is one of the must have product from K-Beauty section. This product cost for 9,730 KRW or around $ 9.73.
Holika Holika Gonyak Soft Perfect Bubble Foam
I asked the shop assistant if they have any good facial cleanser, and she showed me this product. She gives a short demonstration how to use it and what it feels like. Without much hesitant, I bought it right away (and I was in a quite hurry at that time). I am really excited to try it soon! The product cost for 11,900 KRW or $ 11.90.
Innisfree Jeju Lava Seawater Essence
Searching through the shop, then I was shown this essence by the SA. She gave me a tester also; somehow I bought it right away. At first, I was going to buy the green tea line from Innisfree. I think I like this better than my L’Occitane essence. (Empties June 2016 will be uploaded and posted soon!) This product cost for 30,000 KRW or around $30.
Innisfree Jeju Lava Seawater Mist

| Proof! |
Innisfree Jeju Lava Seawater Cream
Innisfree Water Glow + Long Wear Cushion
Honestly, I’ve been “poisoned” by YouTube videos. I knew this product because of watching so much K-Beauty videos. When my mom bought this for the first time, she likes it very much. She was always wanted to have that “Korean glow”. My mom’s fave is the water glow one, because it does give that “glow”. I bought two of it because I also like that kind of glow and I was too lazy to do a touch up.
Innisfree Olive Real Cleansing Foam
I bought another cleansing foam just for a backup. I bought this one rather than the green tea one just because I randomly select it and I wanted to try another ingredient. I've used Banila Co's green tea facial foam, so I choose another one from Innisfree. I'll put up more detailed review on my second part of A-Z Cleanser Review! Stay tune!
IOPE Air Cushion XP (Intense Cover) SPF 50++
I’ve heard lots of people rave about this product. So, I persuaded my mom to buy it when she looked around at Aritaum. When I went back home, I watched Beauty Bible (KBS) and this product was ranked number one. So, I think I made a pretty good choice. I’ve been using this product a lot because I just loved it. It gave that Korean glow that I was looking for. When I first used it in Korea, I took pictures and when I saw the pictures, I was very happy with my face. The glow showed up in a really pretty good way. I really recommend for everyone to purchase this. IOPE Air Cushion is more expensive than Innisfree one, it cost for 42,000 KRW (Gmarket).

3CE Mini Lip Lacquer Kit #Red Attitude
I’ve to say that this one is one of my favorite purchase of all. I really liked the color set that I chose. The colors also showed up really well on my lips. The nude color is really subtle. The orange coral one is really pretty on my lips on its own or mixed with pink. The red color is what I looking for and it was pretty too, even though I could use it on its own, because I’m not that confident. I wore it with a dark pink color and use the red one like a tint. Then I blend it all over. Or not I will look like a scary lady and my mom will be terrified I wore that red color on its own. This sets cost for 36,000 KRW or around $36.
3CE Cream Blusher
I’ve added up another novelty product to my collection. This is my first cream blusher and I pretty liked it. Also, I choose a pretty color. I was happy with the result on my face. It was really subtle and very girly. This product cost for 12,000 KRW , more or less $12.
