[Skincare] Laneige - part of Korea shopping loots =x

Other than Too Cool for School that I mentioned in previous post, another big part of my $$ went to...
A full Laneige set + 2 water sleeping pack! =x
Had been wanting to get a new set of skincare since a beautician told me SKII might be too mature for my skin and my Kose trial set was going to an end soon. This moisturizing series is just so famous and their ambassador, Song Hye Kyo's angelic face is just so convincing...So I'd planned to get these way before my trip (not impulse buy k!) as the price is much friendlier in Korea. I got all these (7 items in total) at around sgd 200. And I believe all these can last for at least 9 months =)

1. Foam Cleanser - clean the face thoroughly to get rid of dirt and remaining makeup! I think this is the MOST important step; all essence apply afterwards would be a waste if your face is not clean (Imagine you pores are still full of your makeup.. ewww..)
2. Power Essential Skin Refiner - the first step after cleaning my face.
3. Balancing Emulsion - use after the skin refiner to enhance the effect.
4. Time Freeze Essence- I realised I have some fine wrinkles!!! I am so pissed off with myself for not taking good care of my skin so I've got this Time Freeze Essence. It better really freezes the time! Hope it will help me to look like a sweet 18 every year **cross fingers =P
5. Water Bank Moisture Cream - Song Hye Kyo's favourite product among all Laneige products! Like what she said, it really keeps our face moisturised (I can still feel the cream after a good night sleep).
6. The legendary water sleeping pack - apply before sleep. It works like a mask but it's more convenient 'coz you do not need to wash off after applying =)

It's advised to use either Time Freeze Essence or Water Sleeping pack as the last step of the regime so you won't over burden my face. 

That's all for my beauty regime. 

How about yours?

[Makeup] Too Cool for School

Didn't get to buy clothes during my Korea trip as they're all selling winter clothes that prepare you for negative Celsius =.= This makes me wanna travel there again during Summer..

Since I couldn't get any nice clothes, I splurged... no..no.. I mean I spent rationally on cosmetics and skincare products =P Among so many cosmetics brands in Korea, I spent most of my $$ on Too Cool for School (in terms of make-up stuff) because their designs are literally TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL. And another reason is that it's not available in Singapore and Malaysia! I like to be exclusive! Hehe.. Unlike other brands which focus on beauty masks (too many tourists deem beauty masks as their 'national treasures' and a must-buy), Too Cool for School focuses on make-up items and they do not use any celebrities for advertising. Guess this also helps them to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Good brand positioning, right?

Now, look at the packaging!! 

How to stop one from buying them!?

p/s: It's as easy as ABC to market anything to me- as long as the packaging is nice, I will buy.. 

**guilty face

Yes, what you saw is the packaging for eye liners! My sis thought it's a card when she first saw it. Cute to the max right?? 

Even the back of the packaging is cute! And the 'all mine' sticker to replace the boring 'paid' sticker that we usually see! Ouch... Look at the pictures make me wanna shop there again =x

And the actual product::

It can be use as eye liner or eye shadow. The outer looks like plastic and those 'twist' types of eye liners but it's actually a pencil type, which you need to sharpen it with sharpener.

And I bought 6 lip sticks/lip gross, 2 for each type 

(don't ask me how many mouths/lips I have.. we can always keep them first =x)

Love this color VERY much! It reminds me of Barbie <3 <3

Milk tint- I don't really know how to describe the texture other than using the word 'tint' =x I bought it because the color is sweet and the effect is really long lasting. The sales girl demonstrated the effect to me by trying to wipe it off after it dries up on the skin. And of course, she failed to wipe it off, that's why I bought 2 =x

This is called Bad Girl Good Girl! Cute name and beautiful color! 

Warning: It's super glossy...

I'm now using the Faceshop Whitening Dual BB Cream, the effect is actually quite nice (non-sticky and long lasting) but I've just got to get this! Black packaging for BB cream is so new to me =S 

Other than these, I also got Body Scrub and some eye masks =)

The items I bought are of the same prices listed on the official website. Of course, I got A LOT of free samples from the shop and tax refund =D 

I strongly recommend this brand! So don't miss out when you're there! <3

[Random] You know your partner hates you when...

I started my new year by travelling to Korea for 10 days, a very good way to start a new year =) And it snowed quite heavily on the very 1st day!! I was soooo excited to see snow, k? Not that I never see snow before, but snowING! Not like raining (so uncool =x) And it only snowed once throughout my 10-day trip, so count myself lucky! It's also very cold there, 0c was the highest temperature. Can you imagine?? The lowest was -16c... I think I nearly died there =x And without fail, I was sick due to the low temperature.. Winter virus certainly is my best friend... =( Luckily, I recovered within 2 days =)  

Initially I was very excited about the trip, partly because I can take nice pictures. In snow. Not that we can see snow everyday, right?? BUT it's soooooo cold that I didn't bother to take out my gloves to take out the camera from the bag to take photos.. lol. I felt my fingers freezing every time I removed my gloves. So we took very very little photos, like 300+ for 10days? And some are repeated.. You might be thinking what have all I said to do with the title of this post-- it's RELATED, and I am not out of the topic, yet =x So with the little photos, I surely hope most, if not all, are nice photos, right? Actually, I didn't expect any bad photos. How you define bad photos? My definition: wrong angle (e.g. doesn't include the whole main thing/building you want to take), I am not smiling happily, prettily, or simply, I look UGLY. And being in such a cold weather, I didn't bother to check every single photo after taking.. And it turned out to be a tragedy-- NONE OF THE PICTURES WITH ME ALONE INSIDE CAN BE USED!THEY ARE ALL BAD PHOTOS! Yes, all. ALL. What I can conclude from these photos is that my bf hates me, he doesn't want me to be pretty (not even in photos), he wants me to be ugly forever (since the ways I look in photos are permanent) or worse, he doesn't bother or even hates to help me taking photos or he simply hates to see me.. 

My words are too strong? See the evidence below...  (All photos shown are BEFORE editing)

He said we must take the words 'Seoul Station'. As a normal person, I took one with both English and Korean. And come on, we are in Korea, of course we include 'Seoul Station' in Korean right?? Why is mine cropped then?? ='(

Was snowing quite heavily in the evening. The scene is outside of our guest house. We were so happy that we were there at the right time and he found a good place (beside the street lamp post) for us to take very 'drama' photos.. So the foci were the light and the snow and the person. Guess that's my foci.. For him, they might be me and the broom beside me ='(( Here goes my very 'dramatic' photo..

We went to the largest fish market in Seoul and had to crossed this bridge. Came across a very tall building (dunno what building is =x) and decided to take pictures.. I look sooooo tiny in the picture.. And his excuse reason is that I am short!!! I AM SHORT!! YES, I am SHORT but you can make me look TALLER in photos you know... ='(((

Photos taken at gyeongbokgung palace. I still asked him nicely to adjust his coat so the hoodie wouldn't be out of the board k... And mister, why are my eyes closing in this picture?? Queen doesn't sleep while she is standing you know? 

Finally a decent photo taken at Nami Island. See, when you give me a decent photo, I will repay you with an excellent one- a jump shot! with you smiling happily and your eyes wide open! 

Any girls out there can feel me now? This is the reason why I never post any photos taken in Korea for the past month..'cause I simply don't have nice photos worth posting =(

I can imagine him shouting:" You don't need to be a great photographer, just bring along a great one with you!"
