GMarket goodies!

This actually arrived a looooooong time ago but I had just found the pictures so thought of sharing them here.

It's my first purchase from GMarket Korea through a spree. I waited for about a month for the package to arrive.

As you may see, I bought four facial masks from two brands -TonyMoly & Baviphat. I'm not sure whether both brands are available in Malaysia or not. 

The tubs are super duper adorable! I just couldn't resist them!

 

 

From left:

TonyMoly EggPore Tightening Pack, RM30.50

TonyMoly Crispy Green Tea Pack, RM30.50

Baviphat Apple AC Sleeping Mask, RM31

Baviphat Strawberry Toxifying Mask, RM29

The others were free gifts/ samples from seller.

I honestly believe the third mask should be 'DEtoxifying mask'. Who would ever want to 'toxify' their skin?!

(*_*)

Anyway, I am soooooo gonna keep these tubs after finishing the contents to keep my pins, brooches, coins, buttons etc. 

Super cute!

BR: Skinfood Lemon & Cucumber Packs

Another facial mask review!

(^.^)

I have two Skinfood packs or masks to be reviewed today.

I swapped these with a friend actually, we both are obsessed with skincare especially facial masks. When I'm with her, all we do is talking about the latest beauty items, our skin woes and other stuff only girls can understand. LOL!

As in the first pic, on the left is Lemon Pack while another tube is Cucumber Soothing Mask Wash Off. Both tubes are 50ml.

One of the best traits about Skinfood is that the brand is international enough that it provides instructions in English, even for some of its products sold in Korea. Thus, makes it super easy for everyone to understand rather than the needs to Google it on the Internet, which happens quite frequent for me.

(*_*)

The Lemon Pack is more of an exfoliator (is there such word?!) while The Cucumber Pack is more to soothe and moisturize skin.

  

 

 

*almost similar texture for both*

How to use:

As usual, after cleansing, apply it evenly onto face. Remember to avoid eye & mouth areas.

The Lemon Pack only needs to be left for 5-6mins while The Cucumber Pack 10-15mins.

The aftermath:

Not much but skin did feel a bit refresh and soothing.

Cons:

The effect was super temporary. And honestly, I couldn't really tell the difference between the two masks.

My friend also said the same, apparently.

I will not purchase them in future. There are other much better masks from Skinfood.

These two are just so near to a total waste.

you and me..it's a possibility...

"Everytime I look at you..I wish you looked my way
And flash me that dazzling smile that really makes my day
But of course it's just a dream..a dream that won't come true
and for unrequited love I wrote this song for you
I always think of how it'd be..if we were together
You and me holding hands
(It's a dream)
I can picture it right now
You and me..it's a dream,
It's a possibility...

When I look out of my window

I hope you look up at me
If only you could read my heart
My love so true you'd see
How empty my life would be
If I don't have you
And for unrequited love I wrote this song for you...
..it's a dream... it's a Possibility..."

*Possibility by Intoxicated*

Unrequited love is nasty. 

There’s nothing I can do about it. 

So near yet so far. 

='(

i probably have cried a river...

I once heard that South Koreans always deem themselves to be the best in everything.

Public transportation, electronic devices, architecture, culture etc.

I was told not to argue anything regarding this 'the best' matter as they can very patriotic and defensive over their nation.

I would not agree or disagree with this issue but I'd strongly admit that they're the best when it comes to tear-jerking dramas or songs or movies.

Like, seriously.

My first serious introduction to South Korea (SK) was when I was around 16 or 17 years old. 

I was head over heels with Bae Yong Joon  or Jun Sang in "Winter Sonata". 

That show was the epitome of tear-jerking drama. I bought the DVD and still cry everytime I watch it.

Then "Stairways to Heaven", "Autumn in My Heart", "Friends", "Secret Garden", among others, came into picture.

I had (still have!) a super huge crush over Won Bin! He was so adorable in "Autumn in My Heart" but he kicked some asses in "The Man from Nowhere". When actors can act as absolute different characters, that's talent. He won seven best actor awards for "The Man from Nowhere". Totally deserved them all.

Anyhow, not every SK dramas are the best or worth watching, to be honest.

Some are blergh (Bad Love, Big, Dream High), some are not bad (Equator Man, Princess' Man, Bridal Mask, Boys Over Flower) and some can be suprisingly good (Man of Honor, Romance Town, My Princess).

Too many to list here, actually.

If you're looking for good series to watch, I would really suggest "King 2 Hearts" and "Rooftop Prince".

These are among the best series I've watched so far.

And they made me cry like keh-ray-zeeeeee...!

"K2H" is a more serious drama, a conflict between South and North Koreas. Lee Seunggi, who's usually funny & cute, did very well as SK king, a side of him I rarely see. Ha Jiwon is, hands down, one of the best actresses. 

"RP" is a romantic comedy drama. Yoochun & Han Ji Min are the perfect pair for this, bar none. I'm not really a fan of Yoochun because he's not that cute (LOL!) but this guy can really act. Han Ji Min was totally adorable as Park Ha! I so wanna keep her! It's actually the first time I got excited over a female lead. And she made me cry buckets!
 

 *King 2 Hearts*

*Rooftop Prince*

Oh, another drama worth mentioning is definitely "Love Rain"

The pace is quite slow, more serious love storyline.

I watched this and actually made a record myself because I cried in every episode. Yup, every single episode. Either the scene was sad or sweet, I'd cry.
Jan Geun Suk is one fine actor.

*Love Rain*

Apart from drama series, Korean songs can be such tear-jerker as well.

For examples, the MVs of "Because I'm a Girl" "I'm Sorry" and "Farewell is Coming". The OST of "RP" by Baek Ji Young "After A Long Time" is just heart wrenching.

Their movies are not bad as well. Even though both "The Man from Nowhere" and "71: Into The Fire" are action movies, they never forget to slip in unforgettable tear-jerking moments.

For now I'm watching "Nice Guy" which airs every Wednesday and Thursday night. I first watched it because of Song Joong Ki which was so adorable in Running Man but he's a tough guy in this drama. A must watch if you wanna see that 'dark' side of him.

 Go watch it!

BR: Skinfood Acorn Jelly Mask

Time for another beauty review!

(^.^)

If you’re into everything Korean, you should have noticed their numerous beauty houses. 

Those shops along Myeondong Street is ah-mah-zing! They have everything. I swear I could live there! 

One of the earliest is Skinfood which first launched in 1957. 
Their motto is “Food that is good for your health, is also good for your skin.” 
You can read more about the brand here.  

One of their best selling products is Acorn Jelly Mask which is sold at RM68.90 in Malaysia. 

I bought mine, a small jar, during my trip to Korea last year. It cost me 3kW or around RM9. 

The sale assistant recommended me this mask when I mentioned I had oily skin. I’m not sure what acorn is or how it really tastes but based on the label, it strongly reminds me of Chip & Dale. Hehehe.. 

 *waaaah so cute!*

*sings: "Chichichichichichichip and Dale, rescue rangers!" LOL!*

*the gooey-slimy-jelly content*

How to use: 

After cleansing, slap a thin layer onto face, avoiding lips & eyes areas. 

It is jelly-like, easy to scoop out and spread over face thinly.

Wash after one minute. (Yes! Only ONE minute!) 

The aftermath: 

It really sucks out the oil on my skin! Very efficient! One of the best masks I’ve used so far.

Most suitable if you’re heading for a day or night out because there’s no need to blot every hour.

(*_*)   

I’d definitely buy the largest jar next time.

Cons: 

The smell is quite baaaaad. I could barely stand the smell during my first time.

Thank God it’s only for a minute.

Save the planet, baby!

Bought this tee at Brands Outlet a few weeks ago. 

It always has nice and affordable tee. This cost me only RM50 for 3 pieces. Fair enough to be used as night tee.

I realize now why it's sold at the outlet, the "its" is supposed to be "it's".

 (*_*)

TOP

Those legssssssss....!

*pengsan*

Never have I ever been obsessed with a pair of legs in my whole entire life.

Here we go again...

Wow it takes forever for me to update this blog these days. 

I’ve always had so many things to write about but most of the times they ended up written in my mind only. It’s not like work has been hovering me but my office is on top of ‘kayangan’ that I’ve become too lazy to stay in the office.

 Anyhoooo, work is doing fine, I already finished marking final exam paper and key-ed in the marks. It was hard for me to fail students but I couldn’t just pass them especially with both eyes open when it’s clear they didn’t do well in classes. The next level would be much harder for them and I honestly think they aren’t ready for it. I was worried they couldn’t survive. It took me a few days to finally decide this, it was really hard for me. 

*sigh* 

*pic: http://www.smashingmagazine.com*

 *yep, exactly how I feel every single day. LOL!*

Work aside, so many things happened in the last few months. 
I went to Jakarta (again!) and bought too many kain ela for myself. 
I discovered Malaysian GMarket and bought more facial masks just because they’re freaking cheap than retail. 
I attended few friends’ weddings and it is fun attending weddings because it always ends up like a mini gathering. 
I watched too many Korean dramas. 
I downloaded almost every BigBang’s songs, couldn’t get over them. And oh, TOP is still hot while maknae Seungri is getting hotter nowadays. 
I sincerely have so many things I want to share –holidays, beauty stuff, drama reviews etc. 

Hopefully now that I’ve no classes I will be able to write frequently. 

(^.^)
