Beauty Haul: Innisfree & Etude House

Today I have a somewhat small beauty product haul to share. I feel I should mention that I love makeup and there are many cosmetic/skincare shops here in Seoul. Just around the corner from Konkuk there is a street filled with them. Innisfree, Etude House, Tony Moly, Skinfood, Nature's Republic... I'm sure I'm missing some...

Products:
Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit
Etude House Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips-talk
Innisfree Green Tea Pure Cleansing Foam
Innisfree Green Tea Pure Lotion


 Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit
Etude's Precious Mineral BB Cream was my favourite from before, they've since reformulated. I decided to try the Bright Fit. I picked this up in Myeongdong a couple weeks ago and have been wearing it ever since with no problems. I'm the colour N02 Light Beige and I'm quite pale.

The benefits according to EH are whitening, anti-wrinkle, anti-darkening, and UV Protection (SPF 30/PA++)

Etude House Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips-talk
So, I didn't really need a lipstick, the display and packaging was just really cute... You might recognize this lipstick as the one that f(x)'s Krystal is currently promoting. It's very sheer, but gives a nice sheen to the lips. Oh and it smells like candy. I got the colour JPK004 (because I'm obsessed with orange-ish lipsticks).

Innisfree Green Tea Pure Cleansing Foam
I've been wanting to try Innisfree products for a while and decided to visit the large shop near Konkuk today.
Anyway, I love the smell of this line of products! It's just a really nice soothing scent. I'll do a review after using it for a couple of weeks. You just squeeze to get the product out. And obviously it's a foam.

Innisfree's Green Tea Pure line:
Enriched with Green Tea and Green complex from pure Jeju Island, Green Tea Pure revives dry, stressed skin by supplying abundant moisture.
Innisfree Green Tea Pure Lotion
The lady at the shop helped me by letting me try both this and the popular serum version on my hands. I ended up deciding that this one felt a little lighter and seemed to absorb better into my skin. You just pour a little out from the opening at the top. I'm used to most lotions having a pump, but it's ok. Once again it smells very nice and soothing.

Innisfree Freebies
4 The Green Tea Seed Serum samples
2 It's Real Rice Masks
I love that the cosmetic/skincare brands her give you samples to try. The lady at Innisfree was so sweet and even added in two face masks. I'm looking forward to trying both. (I already used the sample cream from Etude House)
Have you been to Innisfree or Etude House? What are your favourite products? 
Or what do you want to try?

KonMari books; pretty and practical

Image
 I swore to myself I would not buy the companion book to The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up . How many books do I need on tidying? After having moved four times in the past year and a half or so, I've cleared all my unnecessary objects. The first move in particular forced me to get rid of a ton of stuff, including around 300 odd books (which I should mention I miss terribly. I never realized that books are my favourite and most comforting decor items, until they were gone). There's just something about Marie Kondo's complete love of organizing, useful tips, and adorable book designs that I'm weak to. The moment I saw the little pictures, I knew I had to buy it. That said, as I'm reading this one, I feel like I'm more likely to use it in the future. The layout and images make an easy (adorable) reference guide that you can look back on and find what you need without much of a search.

Konkuk University, KU:L House dorms

Image
I left the last post with a photo of the forest path that leads to the dorms, so here I'm going to pick up the tour with the dorms! Living in the dorms at Kondae is a bit different than living in dorms in the States. The rules are definitely stricter than my own school's (although the commonality is no alcohol!). Here's a few: Boys and girls are kept secret and cannot enter each other's halls  No guests!  You have to scan your card to get in and out of the building.  Somewhat enforced curfew (which I broke a couple times)  Point system - you get points when you break a rule. I only remember that breaking curfew was two. If you are only staying for one semester, these don't affect you. So you can kinda collect as many as you wish. If you are going back, these can get you kicked out of the dorm in the next semester. The dorm area, when the weather's nice there is always people sitting outside or wandering about. The dorm cafeteria, open for breakf

Style: Tae Gong-sil of Master's Sun (주군의 태양)

Image
As I've already mentioned, my latest drama obsession is Master's Sun. The basic story follows a young woman who can see ghosts (Tae Gong-sil) and a CEO with a mysterious past (Joo Joong-won). The two meet, learn to trust each other, and of course fall in love. The drama is currently airing with great success and is a product of the Hong Sisters (The Greatest Love, You're Beautiful, My Girl, etc.). The main cast includes 공효진 Gong Hyo-jin, 소지섭 So Ji-sub, and 서인국 Seo In-guk. Tae Gong-sil and Joo Joong-won Tae Gong-sil (Gong Hyo-jin) has a very relaxed style in this drama. She tends to wear a lot of basics and has a love of layering. I decided to play around with some of her looks from the drama to create my own versions.
