Sample Sundays: feat. Laneige, The Face Shop, Innisfree & more!

Hi friends, As I wrote last week, this Sunday marks a new era for Sample Sundays (get excited). Instead of focussing on just one product from one brand, my overwhelming stash of samples has forced me to shine a light on a bunch of samples. Because I have far too many. So, today I will…

Sample Sundays: Holika Holika Deep Cera All-in-One Master

Hi friends! Sample Sundays may have been gone for a little while, but it certainly is not forgotten. In fact, I’ve started doing something a little bit radical in my offline life (concerning samples, nothing actually radical)… which I will tell you about at the end of this post! For now, let’s talk about the topic at…

My Korean Skincare Routine Revisited

Hi friends! The most popular post on this website by far is my post earlier this year on my Korean skincare routine. It seems that the whole world wants to know about the secrets behind Korean women’s flawless (and I mean flawless) skin – even if it means putting snail slime on your face. In my case, especially…

My Amazing Seoul Beauty Pop-Up Shop Experience

Hi friends! Recently I have been making a few outings to the inner parts of Seoul, notably to Sinsa/Apgujeong area. I looove Garosu-gil with a passion, and it seems that it loves me back. For you see, dear reader, that on the two previous occasions I was strolling along ‘the Paris of Seoul’, I was…

Cleaning Out (and Using Up!) My Ridiculous Beauty Stash

Hi friends! As I mentioned in this post, I am currently undergoing a transformation of sorts. Namely, going from hoarding everything under the sun to trying to get rid of all my wordly (particularly beauty-related) possessions. To be honest, I have reached the point of oversaturation which has led me to, unfortunately, become a little bored…

Sample Sundays: Nature Republic Super Origin Tinted CC Cream (Review)

Hello stranger! I know I’ve been away from these parts for a while… and I’ve missed it. To be honest, I’ve been experiencing a bit of a profound transformation regarding my hoarding ways. It finally hit me that the amount of stuff I have is not only ridiculous (I have no problem with that) but…

[VIDEO] My (Very Belated) May Favourites!

Hi friends, Since I’ve been here in Korea, it has come to my attention that I like to buy stuff. So much that I have in fact put myself on a serious* spending ban lasting at least until my birthday. Except that my birthday is on July 15th, which is only in a few weeks……

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…

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…
