Seoul Visit 2013 Part 3 (Korean Cosmetic Haul: Nature Republic and The Face Shop)

Hi again guys!! Here's part 3 as promised.

So here's what I got from The Face Shop in Korea. ^ ^ It's not much because I went to Korea ready to spend all my money in Nature Republic and Etude House. I visited The Face Shop in NamDaeMun, it was more like a warehouse where some stuff were cheaper than the other Face Shops around.

Jewel Therapy Damage Hair's Argan Oil Serum
 I bought this not having done any research at all. Have I heard of it? No. I bought it because it was a freaking 7,000W (RM21) for this ARGAN hair oil. The cheapest ones that I've found in Malaysia costs at least RM30. Obviously, I HAD to get it.
The Face Shop Mask Sheets in Lemon, Pomegranate and Rice)
 This outlet's face masks were by far the cheapest I came across in Korea. One packet had 10 sheets and one packet only cost me 5,000W (RM15) (I know, cheaper than the hair oil). So I just had to get 4 packets. Honestly, I wanted to get more. T___T But, I poor mah~~ No money~~ *Malaysian accent* As you can see, most of it like Lemon and Rice are for whitening. TBH, I have fairly good skin because I've never had any major acne problems like I think most teenagers would have or have gone through. I consider myself quite blessed in that sense. But unfortunately, I have uneven skin tone *cries*. I don't know why!! Not only that, but I am also fairly dark for a chinese (at least darker than my friends and siblings). P.S. No reviews will be done on this I guess because I've tried these before and yes they do get the job done quite well but of course, be consistent when using these products.

The Face Shop Small Facial/Pore Brush
 I don't quite remember how much I paid for this. I think it was 8,000W(RM24). Back about this product, it's not UNEVEN skin tone I have. I also have GIGANTIC pores!! Always a pain in the butt since I don't know how to squeeze my own blackheads out. I really suck at it. Every time I try, I end up hurting my own face and nothing comes out. SAD LIFE. So, I decided to give this Pore Brush a chance. ;)

FROM NATURE REPUBLIC, OMG!! Exo has become the ambassador for this brand and have I ever mentioned I'm a big FAN of k-pop EXO?! It's not K-pop actually, it's actually just EXO and I personally favor Exo-M more. WHY?? Because there's KRIS of course. I do like LuHan and the others but KRIS is just WOW... walking into each and every Nature Republic, I just felt so great because EXO's songs were blasting all over the place and their MV was on too. Not only to mention that they were then playing EXO's new song at the time, Miracles in December when the album wasn't even released yet, anyways~~ back to the topic on my haul.

Nature Republic Soothing Aloe Vera Gel
 This product is really THE BOM!! I kid you not. I first heard of this when watching a Youtube video from Teddybearkitties a.k.a. Angela. Then one day I decided to visit the Nature Republic here in Malaysia to give it a try. And WOW!! All the people that raved about this were so RIGHT!! This has become my Holy Grail. Believe it or not, I bought 10 tubs of this in Korea. I honestly forgot how much I paid for this in Korea but it came to about RM14-16 for one tub. I paid RM33 (if not mistaken) in Malaysia. And lookie at the picture, I got a free face mask with it and EXO's on it. I got many samples with their faces on it too~~ <3

Nature Republic Nail Polish
 And being the poor me I am but to give EXO some support, I just had to buy these nail polishes because they were so affordable for it's quality too. (I'm joking about buying them to support EXO, I'm not that crazy of a fan.. i think...) One bottle cost me 1,000W (RM3). The quality is really good and I bet you can find a lot of dupes for other known brands.

Nature Republic Botanical Eco Crayon Lip Rouge
I'm a real big sucker for lip products I just realized. They cost me 4,400W(RM15) each. Not bad yoh!!

So, I got this in two shades.
Nature Republic Botanical Eco Crayon Lip Rouge in No.5 Burgundy Red

Nature Republic Botanical Eco Lip Rouge in No.7 Burgundy Wine
Don't judge me. Yes, I love burgundy colors!! <3 The color pigment in these are amazing and they do last long enough. ;)

So, that's the end of my Nature Republic and The Face Shop Haul from Korea.
