Missha & SKINFOOD - Seoul haul~

Hello, guys~! ^^
Today I will show you cosmetics I have bought at Missha and SKINFOOD stores in Seoul. First of all, I want to notice, that this two shops are the best when it comes to samples. Shop assistants gave me a lot of samples (especially at SKINFOOD shop ^-^)! Who doesn`t like to receive samples?! ~lol Everyone loves! It is right policy to give lots of samples, because I might buy a full version of the product if I like a sample. kkk So because of that, and great quality of the products and high level of service, i have always felt happy, after visiting Missha and SKINFOOD shops!

1. Missha

My Korean friend has said, that Koreans like Missha. This brand is quite popular for its quality and effective products. The concept might not be that catchy, like princess-style Etude House or all-natural Innisfree, but during all these years Missha has proved to be worthy to stay at the top.
Now "the face" of the brand is the well-known Korean idols DBSK.
So, what have I bought at Missha shops?

  1. All around Safe Block Aqua sun gel & All around Safe Block Essence sun (I got 2 pcs. paying only for 1 kkk~)
  2. Pure Source sheet mask: honey, caviar and pomegranate
  3. Samples: Super Aqua ultra waterfull cream, Time revolution night repair ampoule and Signature wrinkle filler BB cream.

  1. All around Safe Block Aqua sun gel & All around Safe Block Waterproof sun
  2. Yogurt plus pack (peach)
  3. Samples:  Signature wrinkle filler BB cream, Time Revolution the first treatment essence, Super Aqua Refreshing clear gel and some other cream.

Seoul for soul. Part 1. Insa-dong

Hey, guys~! ^-^
Today I am going to introduce you a well-known for foreigners street in Seoul. It is called "Insa-dong". Personally, I have been there 4 or 5 times during my stay in Korea. It was pretty close to my home, so I liked going there~ ^^
What is Insa-dong? This is a place you can see all traditional Korean crafts - dojang (Korean seal, which can be made with your own name), buchae (Korean handheld fan), hanbok (traditional dress) utensils, etc.! You can`t miss this place, if you want to buy some great Korean souvenirs for your friends and family. You can also go to some master-classes there and try Korean food and super-delicious sweets and tea. *yummy~*
Should I tell more? ~kkk It is better to see everything with your own eyes!

Flight St.Petersburg->Seoul & Seoul->St.Petersburg

Hello~! ^^
This is the very 1st part of a new series of blog posts under the title "Adventures in Korea" *lol what?*
And every journey begins with a road. In my case it was sky ~kkk This was my first flight and I decided to chose a well-known company with great reputation - Korean Air.

Korean Air provides high service for affordable prices.
For example, my flight in both sides cost 742. Which is quite cheap (comparing with other companies). More than that, if you buy a ticket early (more than a month before departure), you can save a good amount of money! I didn`t know about that >-<` So i have to pay the price I have mentioned earlier~ But if only I have bought the tickets a little bit earlier, i could save ~40. *next time i will be smarter lol*

Seoul for the soul~

Hello, guys~! ^-^
Almost a week ago I have returned from Korea. *crying hard* The trip was wonderful and I have enjoyed every single day I have spent there. The month passed so fast! I wish to stay longer~ >-< However, I do plan to come back in Korea in this autumn! keke I just have to survive here, in Russia for some months ;p
Yes, after Korea, Russia is such sad place to live in t_t I can`t say I fell in love with Korea (or better to say, Seoul) from the very first sight. No! Actually it was pretty awkward and strange to live there for the 1st two days. -_-` I was asking myself: "What the hell are you doing here?" "Is it a right place for you?", etc. But a week after, I was so in love with the city, that there were no doubts anymore - this is the place I want to stay, live and work in. ^-^
Just look, how great the Seoul is!


Seoul is different! But it makes the city unique and fascinating. It makes you want to return there again and again~

Anyways, let`s stop my lyrics here. ~kkk 
What I wanted to say, is that I am not in a "hiatus" any more. ^-^ From now on I will post themed stories about different places in Seoul, as well as some review on Korean cosmetics. I hope you would have fun reading it, because I am sure, I will enjoy showing you Seoul for sure! ;p
See you next time~!

p.s. yes, I love Korea ahaha
