SEOUL VISIT 2013 Part 1

Hi there again!! Having a new blog is quite tiring I must say. I totally forgot today was Saturday. Just got back from my Driving License Theory lesson. Sorry >...<

Every year, my dad tries his best to plan at least one family vacation overseas. (This only started when I was about 14??)

Anyways, this year my dad agreed to plan a trip to Korea~~!! FINALLY!! (Excuse this big-time k-drama, Korean cuisine, Korean culture and if I may say, EXO fanatic, buahahahahaha) I've actually just got back from Korea about 2 weeks ago. Knowing me, or maybe just from the title of this blog, I OBVIOUSLY went crazy and bought loads of cosmetics and skin care products.

As for the ever so famous Korean cosmetic and skin care brand, Etude House. To be honest, I did not walk into this shop more than once. The first time I walked into that shop was when I visited Myeong Dong on the first day of my trip. And yes, I nearly spent all of my holiday allowance in that shop. Therefore, I decided to never step foot in that shop until I'm sure I have some allowance left (which was not that great an idea, I must admit).

MyeongDong Etude House

*sorry, I have another better picture. Will upload on the next post.
The Etude House I walked into was the one on the opposite of Uniqlo. The Uniqlo that is not the corner shop lot of Myeong Dong, in other words, the smaller Uniqlo. I really don't get Korea, they have the same shops (eg. Etude House) located in the same area repeatedly. Never use these cosmetic shops as land markers, you'll definitely get lost. The shops are EVERYWHERE.

I also walked into The Face Shop, Innisfree, Missha, Aritaum, Holika Holika, Tony Moly, Banila Co., Style Nanda's 3CE, Watsons, Olive Young, Nature Republic (yes, yes, it was full with EXO posters) and I guess many more that I can't recall right now. Actually, coming to think of it, the first cosmetic store I walked into was Nature Republic on NamDaeMun Street (the one near that big big clock). Confession ALERT!! I walked in being ever so happy to have stepped foot in Korea and bought 4 nails colors without thinking whether or not I needed them.

I definitely purchased a lot (I think it's considered a lot) but I will be blogging about each shop and what I purchased from each brand in the other blog posts of mine so stay tuned.

If you have any questions or opinions, please be sure the comment down below or e-mail me at loui_96-li@hotmail.com , I'd really appreciate you guys asking questions and giving me your feedback. It really means a lot to me. :)

Hello there!!

Hello!!

It's kinda awkward for me now. It's my first blog post and I'm really afraid of blabbering on and on about irrelevant stuff but anyways, Hi!!

Before I move on to anything, just to let you guys know, I used to have a blog. Yes, do click on the underlined 'blog' word if you're curious about my old blog. However, I've now started this new blog because I was kind of getting lazy and always forgetting about that old blog of mine. I somehow came to a conclusion that starting a new blog would magically give me motivation to keep this blog alive. *fingers crossed*

Anyhow, my name's Louissa. I am an American born Chinese currently in Malaysia. Okay, no more personal information. Owh, and see the nice blog decor?? It's all done by this friend of mine, Sunny Little (she's on the contributor list for this blog) and you could visit her here.

What got me started? Here's my story, recently I've gotten into this habit of looking up online reviews for certain products before I decide to purchase anything. By doing this, I've come to realize that rather than always taking information from other bloggers maybe I could contribute somehow by blogging about my personal experience with certain products so others can get a feel of what they would be purchasing. Like giving a heads up to others of what to expect from certain cosmetics, products etc. 

I'm basically here to blog about crap I like (eg. reviews on cosmetics and products I've used, hauls, empties and maybe celebrity inspired make-up looks?? Who knows??) and just things I find interesting?? 

I guess that's about it, I will make it a habit to post at least every Friday or Saturday.
