My Korean Skin Care Haul From Althea (Missha, Son & Park, Innisfree & Laneige)

If you've been reading my posts recently, you'd already know that I'm seriously hooked into #Kbeauty (and #Kdrama). I just couldn't help it. You see, for a girl like me cursed with a direful sensitive skin, finding products that work on my skin without causing a massive break out is something that's hard to come by. But things went sweeter when I decided to dip my fingers into Korean skin care. Lets just say that my skin reacts beautifully with products from the Land of the Morning Calm. #PraiseGod

Well, it doesn't help that one of my favorite online shops to get my Korean skin care fix, - Althea, posts crazy deals all the time. And those crazy deals led to the situation below!

Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask

Innisfree is one of my favorite roadside skin care shop. If you're like me and you're into Korean skin care, I bet the Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask does not need any more introduction to you. It is one of Korea's cult beauty products and it has been featured in so many beauty sites ever since it debuted in the market. It is a product loved by many, making it one of the top best selling products of Innisfree.

IOPE Air Cushion Blusher in 01 Rose Pink and 02 Peach Sherbet

Since I had a rave-worthy experience with IOPE Air Cushion Matte Long Wear, I decided to get their Air Cushion blushers as well. Add to that, the liberating idea of having a cream blush that does not require me blending with my fingers really enticed me.

The IOPE Air Cushion blushers come in two shades which are both equally pretty and right up my alley. In the beginning, I was going back and forth with what shade should I get. But my inner beauty junkie prevailed so I decided to just get both. When in doubt, get both (or all), right? #TheBeautyAddictMantra

Awesome Kitchen Finds At Miniso Japan

Now that I'm married (tied the knot last December), my priorities definitely changed gears. I find myself (happily) spending hours in the home section, looking for bits and bods for our new abode. I stopped buying make up brushes and instead, I'm slowly growing my kitchen utensils collection.

And don't get me started with my Youtube playlist. Instead of binge watching beauty gurus, I'm currently subscribed to various cooking channels with the hope of stumbling into a rave-worthy recipe every now and then.

Now don't get me wrong. I ain't complaining. I'm really happy. I'm blessed to have the most wonderful husband in the entire universe.

It's just that I remember being ecstatic every time I catch a glimpse of a new make up store. Now, I see a shop that carries home-related stuff and next thing you know, I'm already inside that store with a basket at the crook of my arm. This is precisely what happened when I saw the Miniso shop at Glorietta days ago.

Skin Care

The Face Shop The Therapy First Serum

My love affair with The Face Shop The Therapy First Serum started when I received a handful of samples of this product when I went to Myeongdong in Korea a few years back. Korean skin care was still new to me at that time, so I had zero expectations when I first applied this on my skin. Basically, I just took a major leap of faith (to K-beauty) that this will not aggravate my annoyingly sensitive skin.

Well, it didn't (thank God). But more importantly, I witnessed a major difference with my skin when I started to incorporate this to my routine. I was so amused by the results that I purchased a full-sized bottle without blinking twice when my (very generous) samples finally ran out.
