Went to Korea for 4 Days last weekend, came back on Sunday and already missing everything there, the weather, the food, the people.... I will be talking about my trip in this post, if you like/ love Korea or interested to know more about me and my trip, please keep reading. If you dont, you can skip this, or maybe scroll down to the end of this post to see my makeup hauls.
Ok so, I was not in Seoul the first 3 days, I went to Suncheon to meet my fd Min and her husband. Min was my high school classmate back in the days when i was studying in boarding school in England. We were BFF and used to hangout everyday but lost contact since we finished study and moved back to our country. Distance was the killer, specially when facebook, whatsapp and all these weren't so well developed back then. I tried to contact her few years ago but she lost her phone and changed her no. Oh god... Finally we found each other and met last year when i visited Seoul. Keke... This time i went to visit her again, and since she was spending her holiday with her husband n relatives in Suncheon, i went there as well. This place is at the South of South Korea, 4hrs drive from Seoul. Real pain in the ass for sitting in car for another 4hrs after i landed, but i think Min who drove me to the Suncheon felt even worse haha.
Suncheon is quite quiet during weekdays, not so crowded. Weather was good, sun but not too hot, very relaxing!
OMG I'm so happy to see this woman xoxoxoxo <3 <3 <3
Didn't take much photo during this trip, i dunno why. Normally i will take out my camera and snap snap snapppp but this time i took most of the pics with my iphone. And this is an E.T. outside a waffle shop. I love ET/ UFO/ alien stuffs.
Min and her husband haha
Nothing much to do on Suncheon actually, so we went to sauna after dinner on the second day. I know to many girls in Hong Kong, it's weird walking around naked in the female changing room and having shower together with your best friends, but it is very normal in Korea. It was ok to me because I have done this with Min many years ago. We took this sweaty pic in the sauna while some ajumma (old ladies) snoring next to us lol.
Third day it's the wedding day. I had nth to do walking around, enjoyed seeing how they do makeup for the brides actually.
After the ceremony then it's the traditional Korean wedding. It's quite different from the Chinese ones, interesting!
They are Min's husband's parents, they are very nice to me, so i took i pic before i left and said goodbye to them before going back to Seoul.
Dinner after 4 hrs drive back to Seoul. Min's fd brought me to eat pig knuckle. So yummy, haven't tried it before. I love pig knuckles, fat but lots of collagen on the pig skin, good for skin.
After dinner I checked in hotel in Seoul - Nine Tree Hotel in MyeongDong. Love the location, it's located in MyeongDong shopping area, very convenient. The room is new, nice and clean, also super tiny as expected.
Woke up very early and went out for a quick morning shopping in MyeongDong before my check out. Spent most of my time in the massive Olive Young trying and swatching everything.... Beauty heaven it was. Not sure if they allow to take pic so i only took one pic of the nail section, and then i was busy playing around myself.
Finished Olive Young then quickly bought this for lunch and pop bk to hotel for my final pack and check out. The squid taste nice but a bit too spicy for me.
After my check out i took metro to HongDae because i wanna go to Gentle Monster. FYI if you don't know what Gentle Monster is, it's basically a Korean eye-wear brand. They became so popular because of the <Stars> drama, also many KPOP singers wear them too.
This is just a random pic i took on the way to the shop. I love this European church like building, not sure what it is, looks like a restaurant. Gentle Monster is just opposite.
I didn't take pic outside and inside the Gentle Monster shop, only took one pic of these sunglasses because i really wanna get the middle one but its out of stock!!! Luckily i put down my name to order, the sales told me it would arrive in 2-3 weeks so i should be able to pick up when i go again in June, yay!
Spent too much time playing n trying on shades in Gentle Monster... Time was a little rush, i didn't have time to go to Stylenanda flagship store, decided to go to Lotte Young department store in MyeongDong to buy my Stylenanda/ 3 Concept Eyes makeup. After that i went to last min shopping in MyeongDong. My last stop was Krispy Kreme hahaaa. Then went back to get my luggage and take the limousine to airport.
Felt a bit lonely traveling alone, but on the other hand so free and relaxed. Love and hate this feeling.
Flying Korean Air this time because CX night flights were all fully booked. I was too tired i fell asleep before the flight depart lol. Anyway goodbye Korea, see you again in a month!
Unpacked my stuff and let's take a pic and show what i bought. Didn't buy A LOT because i still have a lot of skincare, paper masks i haven't finished since my last visit. Couldn't help myself buying some makeup tho. Some of the brands can be purchased in Hong Kong but they are cheaper in Korea, more stock too.
These are samples i got.
I will be doing some reviews/ makeup look with the stuffs i bought. Ask me any question if you are interested and please stay tuned!
