I go through phases when it comes to shopping...a bit like Becky Bloomwood's (from the Shopaholic series) shopping cycle. These past few months have been a skincare feast --
Dull, lifeless and dehydrated skin that is trying to recover from hyperpigmentation caused by quite severe cystic acne...it's like an ice-cream sundae with extra cherries on the top.
Except that I am on a diet, and I don't even like cherries.

After being enamored with Korean dramas, and seeing their perfect skin, I was suckered into trying out Korean skincare products as well as following their skincare regime with the thousand and one steps
Customer service was friendly, and the shipping was speedy. The site is comprised of curated items from various Korean brands
Etude House Dear My Jelly Lips Talk, $10 in Strawberry Syrup Coated Candy and Sweet Plum Candy
These products provide a sheer wash of color in a formula that feels ridiculously hydrating. It smells of fruit punch/cherry Kool-Aid, which is not my personal favorite, but better that than a plasticky smell. My favorite is Strawberry Syrup which gives a pink tint to the lips...like strawberry juice
A finishing powder to help minimize shine and keep those oil glands in control, it is free of parabens, artificial pigments, animal ingredients, mineral oil, artificial fragrances and talc.
This is a cream geared towards providing hydration and is meant to be used as the last step of the skincare regime. It has won quite a number of awards and it is said to rival Biotherm's Aquasource moisturizers. At $18, it is an unbelievable bargain and I really like the product too.

From Missha:
They were
having a Friends & Family sale on the day that I randomly clicked
onto the site, so I made use of it. But in general, I think they offer a
lot of sales, so definitely check on their current deals.
This is the mist version of their popular First Treatment Essence, which was out of stock at the time I was placing my order.
This is suppose to energize, repair, and restore elasticity of the skin, provide wrinkle repairing and whitening benefits.
NOTE:
I started getting breakouts on my cheeks when I used the above two
products, so after a few days, I stopped using them. Now that my skin is
calming down again, I am trying them out one by one to see which
product is causing the issue.
Formulated with shea butter and mango seed butter for extreme hydration; syn-ake for wrinkle protection; camellia and lavender to create a phyto-steam complex mimicking the effects of steam
treatment to leave silky smooth skin and a delicate scent,.
I
actually really like the cream - I feel like it really does help hydrate
my really dry fingers and it feels like a little luxury break when I
use it. But the amount you get at the price makes it quite expensive,
unfortunately.
