Video: 5 Things I Miss About Korea

I know I talk about it a lot, but I lived in Korea for two years and loved it. Yes, it can be a bit foreign sometimes and you probably won’t understand a lot of what is going on (or is that just me?). But even though I am over here loving Malaysia, I really…

Sample Sundays: feat. lots and lots of Skinfood!

Hey y’all! It’s that time again where we go through my trash finished samples and I tell y’all what I think. This time, I happened to use a lot of Skinfood samples, as I used to stash them away and save them up because I thought they were so cute and delicious-sounding (I still feel that…

My Korean Nails Project: Innisfree Eco Nail Colour PRO #3

Remember my Korean nails project? Just because I’ve left Korea, it doesn’t mean the craziness and living-on-the-edge has to stop, dear reader!

My Current Korean Beauty Favourites

Over the weekend, our school finished our “end of year” show, called the Lovely Party. The ironic thing is that it’s almost anything but lovely behind the scenes, because of the bizarre amount of importance that is placed on it by the “powers that be”.
