A Small Skinfood Haul for Y’all

Hi friends! So a little while ago I decided to do something wildly unusually for me and buy some more Korean cosmetics. Lolz! This time was actually slightly different, however, as I went to Skinfood in my local Lotte Department. For any of you that don’t know, Lotte is a conglomerate that owns basically everything…

Vlog #3: The Night Before Hagwon

Hi friends! Today brings us the latest in a series of vlogs I started last year, when I first arrived in Korea. This episode is a particularly delirious video filmed the night before starting at my hagwon. It’s so interesting looking back on this because I remember how I felt – and it ain’t how I feel now!…

My Little Love Affair with Bioderma Hydrabio H2O

Hi friends! I wrote a little while ago about my amazement with Bioderma’s Hydrabio H2O in my first monthly favourites. I had never heard about this brand in Australia and it was a bit of a revelation. Korean women seem to love their French brands, so I categorise these (especially L’Occitane) as practically Korean. The way…

I Bought the IOPE Air Cushion XP and I’m Really Excited About it

Hi there! If you haven’t heard, cushions are all the rage in Korea. No, I’m not talking about those plush, comfy things you throw on your couch (although I am a huge fan of those too). Instead, I am referring to possibly the biggest Korean beauty trend since the BB cream (and subsequently the CC cream)….

Unboxing Memebox: Get It Beauty Box (April Korean Edition)

Hi friends! If y’all remember this far back, last month I had my first experience with Memebox… and it wasn’t the best. I mean, it was okay, but nothing great. The fact that it had a MASSIVE bottle of Nivea body cream didn’t exactly help matters! However, I decided to jump back into the fire and…

Vlog #2: First Night in a Love Motel

Hi friends! Long time no posts. After coming down with a horrendous virus over the long weekend, I managed to pass the sickness onto Gav so we have been under the weather for a combined week. Not fun! But you will be pleased to know that I am back, stronger than before and most importantly…

Aaaaand It’s Another Nature Republic Haul From Me

Hi friends, I have now reached the point where I have a backlog of Korean cosmetic haul posts to write, and I don’t know how I feel about that. I mean, I mostly feel good, but I occasionally feel a bizarre twinge of guilt for spending so much (not that much) money on myself and…

My Seoul Wishlist

Hi everyone, As you are probably well aware, I am currently living in Korea teaching some mischievous children and having a great time. I’ve gotten into the swing of things here and have my routine, which I always appreciate. We even have a coffee place in our building which we call before we go downstairs to save…

Sample Sundays: Skinfood Black Sugar Strawberry Mask Wash Off (Review)

Hi friends! So you may remember (but probably won’t) a loooong time ago I stated that I would be writing a review on Skinfood’s Black Sugar Strawberry Wash Off Mask. Also, that it would be part of my Sample Sundays series and would thus come out on a Sunday. Weeellll, half of that is still…

Missha’s Facial Choco Cacao Scrub is a Chocolatey Dream (Review)

Hi friends, Long time no see! Recently I’ve been enjoying the shops in Korea even more than usual, hence my delayed absence. It’s a bit out of hand, and I’m having a great time. Last month I hit up Missha for a few items… and it hit my wallet back. It’s truly a wonderful thing! For…
