Gift Haul: Chanel, Hera, The Face Shop, & More!

*All pictures belong to me: Please do not take without prior permission! Remember to click the pictures for the best possible quality & clarity (: Hey Luuux! Yesterday was 'Teacher's Day' here in Korea, so some of the mothers of the students at the academy where I work bought the teachers gifts! I've never seen such generous parents before, so it was really surprising to me, but I was grateful nonetheless~ Most of the parents would gift things to their students' homeroom teachers, but some of the parents were nice enough to give gifts to every teacher their child learns from :) I never expected to receive any gifts, much less something from Chanel! Keep reading to see what I got :D ____________________________________________________________________ ♥ Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in 76 Gourmandise - This was completely unexpected and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it! It's actually the first Chanel anything that I've ever owned and the shade of the lipstick is beautiful! Very appropriate for the Spring/Summer and I can't wait to try it out! ♥ Hera Secret Scent Eyeliner Duo in Pearly Purple/Pearly Grey - I actually don't wear eyeliner that often, but I thought it was nice in case I ever needed to use one :) I like how one of the sides is a glittery silver color because I could easily use that as a slight accent to my eyes without doing too much~ Hera is a very well-known and reputable brand in Korea, so I was also really surprised when I saw this! ♥ The Face Shop Real Nature Masks in Aloe, Blueberry, & Pomegranate - The Face Shop is really popular here in Korea, and who doesn't love face masks?! These will come in handy when I want to relax and pamper myself on the weekends :) ♥ L'Occitane Pure Vegetable Soap - When I first read what this was, I was a little bit reluctant to even try it, but it smells citrus-y and nice! I feel bad for even thinking that it would be weird since it was such a generous gift from a parent~ I'll try this out soon! ♥ Florena Hand Creme - I've never heard of this brand before, but everyone needs a good hand cream :) It smells very floral and light. ____________________________________________________________________ That's it for this haul! I also got a few more gifts, but they weren't beauty related so I didn't post about them. I'm definitely humbled by how kind my students' parents are

Hairstyle of the Day: Perfect Waves ♥

*All pictures belong to me: Please do not take without prior permission! Remember to click the pictures for the best possible quality & clarity (: Hey Luuux! This is my first hairstyle post :D I usually just style my hair the same way every single day; air dried and naturally straight. Since I have less time to get ready now because of work, I shower at night and have to do something with my hair because it never dries in time :T One day, I decided to try french braiding my hair while it was slightly damp and just slept with it braided. When I woke up, I had these perfect waves! I was really happy with the result and now I usually just french braid my hair every night before I go to sleep :) It's super simple, takes very little time, and creates a look that makes it seem like you put so much effort into styling it :D _____________________________________________________________________ Let me know what you think of these waves down below! Definitely give french braiding your hair at night a try :D Do tell me if you try it and are as happy with the results as I always am ^^ As always, feel free to rate this post, add me as a friend, or follow me! ^^ If you're feeling extra loving, you're more than welcome to do all three! :) ♥

Small GMarket Beauty Haul: Peripera ♥

*All pictures belong to me: Please do not take without prior permission! Remember to click the pictures for the best possible quality & clarity (: Hey again, Luuux :) I'm back with another little beauty haul! Peripera had some nice deals on GMarket, so I had to make a purchase :D Shipping is always pretty fast and the prices are pretty competitive! Keep reading to see what I got! ____________________________________________________________________ ★ Peripera My Color Lips Lipstick (2 for $9.16) This was such an amazing deal for these lipsticks! Originally, they're about $15 each, so I saved about $20! I wanted to get 2 brighter and bolder colors for the upcoming warmer Spring days, so I chose to purchase #4 Holy Pink and #27 Holy Coral. They're definitely super bright! I haven't worn them out yet because it's still a bit chilly here, but when that Spring sun comes out, I'll definitely pull them out :) The packaging is of course gorgeous and the formula is creamy and super pigmented! Highly recommend these ^^ ★ Peripera Rose Nail Polish (4 for $7.31) These are a great deal even without the discount, but they had a sale of $4 off, so definitely had to pick some up! Like I said in my previous post, I couldn't bring any of my nail polishes to Korea, so I have to start up my collection again~ No better way to start it than with Peripera polishes :D The colors I chose were: CR956 Nail Strengthener, BR202 Modern Beige, YE904 Banana Candy, & OR407 Tomato Candy. These are great quality polishes! Great formulation, opacity, and finish! ____________________________________________________________________ I hope you enjoyed this haul! I'm so happy I can get my hands on these Korean cosmetics without hassle now :) Although I miss US drugstores and Sephora, I really enjoy shopping for beauty products in Korea :D It's an entirely different experience! Tell Me: Have you ever tried any Peripera products? If so, what have you tried and what do you think of them? If not, would you like to try any of these products I purchased? Leave the answers to these questions down below :D As always, feel free to rate this post, add me as a friend, or follow me! :D If you're feeling extra loving, you're more than welcome to do all three! ♥

Korean Beauty Haul: Etude House + Missha ♥

*All pictures belong to me: Please do not take without prior permission! Remember to click the pictures for the best possible quality & clarity (: Hey again, Luuux! ^^ The other day, I went to the Korean equivalent of Walmart, HomePlus, to pick up some nail polish remover~ HomePlus is such an amazing place :D I love how they have tons of mini makeup brand shops inside! This time, I picked up a few things from Etude House & Missha :) Keep reading if you're interested in what I bought! ____________________________________________________________________ Etude House ★ Nail Polish Remover in #2 Extra Power (~$3) I couldn't bring any of my nail-related cosmetics, so I definitely needed to pick up a nail polish remover~ This is probably the best polish remover I've ever tried in my life! One swipe of this and my nail polish is completely gone! It does smell pretty strong, but considering how fast it removes my polish, I can live with it :) The bottle is empty in the picture because I poured it into the next thing I bought... ★ Nail Polish Remover Bottle (~$2) My favorite polish remover at home was the Zoya one, but since I couldn't bring it, I really wanted to find a bottle that was similar. I heard Etude House had a similar one, so hunted it down. I actually think it works a lot better than my Zoya one (the pump is more effective). ★ Cotton Sheets (Free Samples!) The lady at the register gave me 2 boxes of these cotton pads ^^ They're really soft and work great with the polish remover! Missha ★ Super Aqua Aroma Deep Sea Water Micro Mist in Bergamot (~$5) It's just now warming up in Korea, but my skin has been pretty dry for the past few months~ I wanted to buy a nice moisturizing facial mist, and decided on this one! The bottle is designed really nicely~ The spray is super fine, so the name 'Micro Mist' definitely fits the product! Smells great and moisturizes the face really well! Leaves the skin feeling smooth and hydrated! I got it while it was on sale too, which is always a plus ^^ ★ 4 Cleansing Tissue Packs (Free Samples) The lady at the counter was generous enough to give me not just one, but 4 sample packs of these cleansing tissues! They'll come in handy when I travel :D Love Korean people and their samples! ____________________________________________________________________ That's it for this haul! It wasn't too exciting or anything, but definitely some essentials :) I'm happy with everything I purchased! Hope it wasn't too boring of a haul! I'll have more coming soon ^^ As always, feel free to rate this post, add me as a friend, or follow me! :D If you're feeling extra loving, you're more than welcome to do all three! ♥

Beauty Haul: Korean Cosmetics & Michael Todd ♥

*All pictures belong to me: Please do not take without prior permission! Remember to click the pictures for the best possible quality & clarity (: Hey Luuux! Last weekend my boyfriend and I finally got to do a little bit of shopping :D I wanted to go somewhere nearby so it wouldn't be too much of a hassle, but most of the places near where I live don't have everything I wanted to look at :T Either way, it was fine~ I picked up some things I thought were super cute and also some that I needed. My mom also sent me a package of the things I ordered from Michael Todd as well. I've been wanting to try their skincare line for the longest time after everyone on Youtube had been raving about it! Keep reading if you're interested in all of the things I got :) ____________________________________________________________________ Beyond ★ Save Us Lipstick in Orange (Panda) ★ Body Healing Cream Shower Wash (Free Sample) Etude House ★ Shea Butter Nutrifull Eye Cream ★ Fresh Cherry Tint (Free Sample) ★ Correct & Care (CC) Cream (Free Sample) ★ Precious Mineral BB Cream (Free Sample) Michael Todd True Organics ★ Blue Green Algae Antibacterial Toner ★ Organic Lemon AHA + DMAE Toner ★ Citrus Cream Moisturizer ★ Avocado Mango Mask ____________________________________________________________________ That's all I got this time! I didn't get too much, but I'm super happy with the lipstick that I got :D Isn't it adorable?! It reminds me of the Paul & Joe lipsticks in the shape of cats, but these are way cuter in my opinion ^^ I made a GMarket haul recently, so I'll definitely post something about the things I got from that order soon! Hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks for reading
