new fragrance & korean beauty products

jeanne by lanvin
 perfume i picked up at the duty free shop.
sooo delicious. i've been eyeing this one for awhile ever since i saw it at olive young.
i bought a 100mL so it should last me a long time..right? ; )
it's a deeper muskier scent, i don't like those airy floral scents! they hurt my nose!
the scent features blackberry, white freesia, peony, musk, etc.. 
i hate airports and i hate saying goodbye, but this was the only cherry on top to brighten my day : ) 
i love buying a new fragrance at the airport!

face shop polishes
 these ones don't have names..how odd!
as you can see, i love my neutrals.

tony moly: milk tea, indian pink, orange neon, blue neon, milk mint
i LOVE tony moly's nail colours the best, i like the shape of the bottle, the colours, and the quality. i wanna go back and buy every single colour. best of all they're only 2000 ₩! i don't think i can buy polish in canada anymore..average about $10) for ONE colour.

collection of face masks!
gotta take care of your face! 
all of them are around 1000-2000 ₩. 
these ones are from olive young, faceshop, skinfood, innisfree
i stocked up just in case i can't find korean masks in canada!
although, i'm pretty sure i saw them at walmart.. ;)

goodies from too cool for school
i received these as a farewell gift from maya!
4 of them are from the Rules of Pore collection!
step 1 - "aqua cleansing foam/morocco ghassoul foam cleanser"
step 2 - "blackhead out" strip
step 3 - "pore close cooling sheet"

marshmallow puff! i will use it to apply foundation
it says "부드러운 머쉬멜로우의 마법 같은 터치"
which means.. soft marshmallow's magic-like touch!

too cool for school always reminds me of our random days walking around in garosugil or somewhere else, i miss those days so much already.
can't wait to try these out!! thank you maya!

korean clothing haul

 blouse from Aland [30 000 ₩]
lace tunic from Kosney [24 000 ₩]
orange polkda dot blouse [gift] 
dress from gangnam station [10 000 ₩]
 dress from ewha university area [10 000 ₩]
 blouse from myeongdong boutique [24 000 ₩]
blouse from hongdae boutique [32 000 ₩]


in general, i love korean clothes, so cute and affordable!!
although..watch out.. the quality is hit or miss. just be careful to handwash delicate pieces : )
this is a collection of some of my favourite purchases that i've made in my 4 months in korea!
mostly silky, neutral pieces. i love blouses because they're feminine & good for every season!
i wish i bought more clothes in hindsight..
oh well..there's always next time.. or internet shopping : D

..when the sun shines on my favourite wallet [+playlist]

i really adore paul's boutique.
i saw the admirable wallets and bags by paul's boutique for the first time
in the top shop store in oxford st, london, last year.
the sun shines and i have another playlist for you. a sunshine playlist!
my special recommendations are "last night" by the strokes and "so little time" by arkarn :)

some magazines...

just in case it might rain again....




pictures found in magazine nnonn of july 2011



                         simple, stylish colors, easy to combine: these rain boots really remind me 
of the rain boots by hunter that are really popular everywhere in the world and 
among celebrities like angelina jolie, rachel bilson etc.
you can buy those you see above at the online store stylecouple.com 
and as you can see there is a variety of colours. 
stylecouple concentrates on couple wear so you might find something nice for you and your <3
:)

the rainbow after the rain




after all the rain i expected some pretty rainbows on the sky over seoul but...
i couldnt find any...
so what about a rainbow on your nails? :)
these are 4 of maybe 8 colors of the skin food milk creamy nail nailpolish series.
i got
lilac milk, coconut milk, ice milk and mint milk for 2,500 KRW each :)
i'm thinking of getting the rest, too, because it really lasts long on your nails and the colors come out
pretty nice.
be happy- start with your nails :)

here's something for your lips!
really nice smelling break time liptint balm by too cool for school.
a really nice shop which had its first store in myeongdong.

too cool for school is a division of the first chain cosmetic store (TODACOSA) in korea ever.
i chose the color nr.2- it has the name real strawberry
i really like how they linked the name of this product "break time" to their company name :))
