Yesterday was a bit of a bummer. I walked home for lunch, during a rain storm. Arrive at my apartment to find that I had left my keys on my desk. I returned to work, and back again to my apartment. Ugh. Then my 6th graders were not being cooperative, and really looked at me with such disinterest that I wanted to throw my hands in the air. But I survived the day, and I remembered that Grizzly had been knocking over my make-up basket and in the process my mascara had disappeared so maybe to cheer up I would do a bit of shopping.

I spent 34,000 won = $31.36

In addition to the items below I picked up a nice pair of linen pants from Uniqlo for 10,000w. Uniqlo is a Japanese company that is a mix between Gap & H&M.  It is the best store I have found in Korea.

So I want to say a few things about Korean make-up. It’s FANTASTIC! Innisfree is my favorite, all products are made from natural materials found in Korea, mostly Jeju Island. The cost is incredible, also packaging for the products. You can get a eco size mascara for 5,000 compared to a full size for 10,000. The fact that they think about that and give it as an option makes it my favorite. Anytime you go to these types of stores you always walk away with some free goods. Mostly whitening creams, which I don’t support, but lately the ladies have been hooking me up with face masks, and cotton squares.

i love innisifree

p.s.

what is bb cream you ask?

WOW.

Magic.

Essentially everything combined for your face in 1. Foundation, concealer, sunscreen, and moisturizer.

Origins are Europe given as a healing treatment post laser skin surgery.

It is said that it is healing your skin as you wear it. It has moisturizing properties along with an excellent spf. I have been wearing it for approximately 12 hrs, and I think it’s the best!
