I’m sorry suddenly I went MIA. It happened because my MacBook got broken
and it has rest in peace now. Before, the VGA got broken and I’ve repaired
it. The technician said it wouldn’t be the same anymore and it will be
easily got broken. But, I never though it would be this soon. I just
repaired it on January and it got broken on March. Thankfully, my hard disk
was safe, so the files I have inside are perfectly there. Since, Apple has
its own operating system, I couldn’t open my hard disk with any other
laptop, so I have to wait until I have a new MacBook.
So yeah, I should have sell my MacBook after I repaired it. I learned my
lesson now. I didn’t buy the new MacBook Touch Bar thingie because it is
damn expensive and Apple removed all the basic features, such as the
CD-Room, usb-port, etc. And, I dislike the keyboard of all new MacBook. So,
I bought the Retina Display one as it is still the closest to my old
MacBook and I liked the keyboard. Please be nice to me, okay? Thank you to
my MacBook Pro for the past 6 years, I couldn’t be here right now without
you though.
Okay, enough with my short story behind my MIA. I’ll continue to post the
delayed posts. Thank you for everyone who read my blog and watch my videos.
I appreciate it so much! Love you all!!!
So, this blog is mostly about the products that I bought from my last
winter trip to Korea. I will not explained it too much, because it will be
a long one and all of the review of each product can be seen in my video.
Watch it here.
Few things I want to highlight are the Innisfree Always New Auto Liner and
No Sebum Mineral Powder, Son and Park Beauty Water, Wake Make Skinny Lip
Crayon, Etude House Play 101 Stick Contour Duo and Color Contour, Holika
Holika Pig Nose Clear Blackhead 3 Step Kit, and Labiotte Wine Lipstick.
Innisfree Always New Auto Liner
The first time I knew this product was from Ssinnim (a Korean Beauty
Blogger). Since, I have a lot of that type of eyeliner, so I bought a pink
color, which functioned as a lip liner. I like the idea of it will always
sharp. Whenever, you close the lid and turn it around and you will hear a
click sound, then your liner will look new. I found it is interesting since
you don’t need to manually sharpened it. I haven’t tried the product yet,
but I’m really excited to try it soon. The price is about $10 (9,000 KRW)
for 0.3 g worth of product. I think it is still worth it. Buy it here.
Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder
I know I’m late to try this product. But, I’m so thankful that I was
reminded every time I watched the beauty contributor around the internet to
try this. Because this product is magic and a life saver. Actually, I don’t
really have an oily skin, but at some days it became oily. Since, I wear
sunscreen everyday, at some days my face looks super oily. Thanks to this
product, my face looks super normal and it feels soft. It feels like a baby
skin. I really want all of you use this affordable mattifying (?) powder.
It cost around $7 (6,000 KRW). Buy it here.
Son and Park Beauty Water
Few months ago, I watched Happy Together (KBS TV Program) where Son and Park came as a guest. Son and Park is a two famous Korean makeup artist.
They actually a rival, but also best friends. Their real names are Son
Daesik and Park Taeyun. Their living canvas are famous artists like, Jun
Ji Hyun (actress), Sandara Park (k-pop girlband), SISTAR (k-pop girlband),
and many more. So, they collaborate to create a beauty line. Their most
famous product would probably this beauty water. Beauty water is actually a
toner, which also act as a micellar cleansing water. What I really liked
about this product is around more than 90% the ingredients are natural. It
also smells good since there are a lot of flowers extract. I think their
brand is more to the higher-end price side, but I got this product in a
promotion, so I bought it to try it. I bought this product around 25,000
KRW and got a 60ml one for free. Buy it here.
Wake Make Skinny Lip Crayon
While walking around Olive Young, I saw a picture of Yubin from Wonder
Girls using this lip crayon. She was once appeared in “Get it Beauty” and
she demonstrated her speciality make-up. My friend that I travel with is a
lip product junkie. She really liked buying lip products. I ended up buying
too. We both bought the same color as Yubin’s. I don’t really use red color
much, but I think I need a red lip liner, so I bought it. The color payoff
is pretty good and it stays quite a long time. Buy it here.
Etude House Play 101 Stick Contour Duo
Finally, I have a contouring products in my makeup collection. I never
tried contouring before in my makeup routine. I think this product is good
for beginner like me, because it is easy to blend and look natural. I bought in color #2. It cost
12,000 KRW, but I got discount at that time, so it is quite inexpensive. Buy it here.
Etude House Play 101 Stick Color Contour Duo
Beside its cute packaging, they always have an innovative products also.
They introduce contouring with color rather than brown color. We know color
correcting products such as, purple, green, blue, etc. So, this stick is
used to correct the color of our skin before using foundation. Because this
is a stick, so it can cover specific spots. I didn’t really know how it
works when I bought it, so I just bought one stick out of three. When I
watched the tutorials, most of it using the three of it. Every stick has
specific function, so if you want to buy it make sure to know which color
suits you. This product cost the same with the contour duo. Buy it here.
Holika Holika Pig Nose Clear Blackhead 3 Step Kit
I finally get it why Chinese bought this product in large quantity. The
first time I used it, it really pulls out the whiteheads. I will definitely
repurchase this product if I go to Korea again. I really recommend this,
even though it is quite takes some time. Every steps takes around 15
minutes, so you might need 45 minutes at least to do this. Buy it here.
Labiotte Wine Lipstick
I’m always amazed with how fast trends happened in Korea. I always found
new products, innovation, brands, and many more whenever I came to Korea.
This time I found out about this brand, Labiotte. They create products with
wine as the main ingredients. It is quite unique and the colors they have
were pretty and many. The packaging also in a shape of wine bottle, so
cute! Buy it here.

There is one thing that I didn't include in the video, which is Tangle Teezer Hairbrush. I bought it for my mom because it has a Hello Kitty on it. But, I found out that in Sephora Indonesia, they sell it too with cheaper price. So, my mom bought it also and the one I bought in Korea is for me. I really liked this brush. It does smooth out my hair and it less damaging than my usual brush. This one is also my favorite product that I bought.
