Korea: Beauty Hauls

June 2015

Husband and I went to Seoul for Honeymoon early this June. Korea which known as the land of the Morning Calm was also known for their minyeo or beauty. I have been using Korean make up for a while now. Mostly using Faceshop or Etude House for my face regiment and Nature Republic for hand lotion. Thought it is time to try on some other products, I decided to splurge myself on some of these products.

I went to 3 different stores. My original reason was to buy CC cream only. Hahaha Who am I kidding right? Of course I would buy more than just CC Cream. Too hard to resist not buying things in Myeongdong, the center of Korean beauty products. It is like heaven for make up junkies like me.

4. Collagen Eye Patch (1 set)
5. Cranberry Body Wash (2 Samples)
6. Argan Seed Hair Mask (2 set)
7. Jojoba Seed Hair Mask (1 set)
8. Lip Liner (2 pencils)
9. Spoon Sleeping Pack (2 sets)
10. Cherry Lip mask (2 sets)
11. Etude Sponge (1 set)

3. Nature Republic

1. Acai Berry Face Mask (10 sets)
2. Avocado Face Mask (10 sets)
3. CC Cream (Sample)
4. Acacia Body Cream (2 Samples)
5. Aqua Combination Watery Cream

I spent around $80 in Myeongdong for all of this. Not to bad as I bought so many of them especially the face mask, I bought like 20 or more of it for gifts. I have been using the CC Cream from Too Cool For School for a while now. I would probably write a review for this one soon. That is if I am not too lazy.

Haul: Etude House 30% Sale

Last Friday, 28th November 2014, I went to Etude House. Last January, boyfriend bought me their Wonder Pore Freshener size 500ml. Read Review Here

I almost run out of this amazing product. It has become a big part of my skin routine. I notice the differences after start using it. I got healthier, nicer skin and less acnes or pores problem. There is no way I am giving up on this product now. Back then it was very pricey. So I had to ask boyfriend to buy it for me in Korea.

Nail Polish to compare the size.

Last Friday, I just went to Etude House to check on the price. I saw the price was Rp.478.000 for the 500ml and Rp.288.000 for the 250ml. I thought I will just buy the smaller size. Then the lady told me it was all 30% discount. The after discount price for the 500ml was Rp.334.600. Obviously, I prefer to get the big one for long time usage.

And I remember my nail polish remover is almost run out too. So i bought one. Original price Rp.48.000 and I got it for Rp.33.600. Bought 2 mask sheets each for Rp.19.600 from Rp.28.000.


So I spent only Rp.407.000 for all those stuffs. Including bonus 2 BB Cream samples, 1 sample of Magic Cushion and 1 nail polish (originally Rp.98.000) and I got it all for free.

Bonus..Bonus..Yeay

This is the comparison price list:

Not sure if it they have sales all over their stores or just this one in Plaza Senayan. But I was and still very happy with my Etude House Haul.
