To celebrate the weekend, I went to Aberdeen yesterday with my friend because we were craving iced lemon tea (dong ling cha 凍檸茶) and Shiny Tea. Needless to say, we pretty much filled up on drinks. Since I don't visit Aberdeen that often, I couldn't resist visiting Aritaum and Nature Republic so here are a couple items I picked up there!
Aritaum
I don't even wear lip products, but I recently finished the K-drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo and because it was sponsored by Laneige, the main character used this exact product! So obviously, I had to get it. I've always wanted to try the gradient lip trend anyways. If you haven't seen this drama yet though, you MUST. I don't really watch Korean dramas because school always takes up most of my time and I can never commit to watching so many episodes unless it's really interesting. Nam Joo Hyuk and Lee Sung Kyung are soooo good looking and the storyline is super cute! I finished all 16 episodes in 4 days, which is pretty fast for me. My sister finished it in one LOL. The videos that I've embedded below feature my favourite song from the drama. It instantly makes you feel happy ^_^. The great thing about this drama is that it isn't cheesy or full of cliches so they never did that typical repeat of scenes like five times. I'll feature this lipstick in a new post separately to fully review it!
From Now On - Kim Min Seung
My sister recommended me to try these sheet masks since Aritaum is under Amore Pacific, which is one of the top beauty corporations in South Korea. They have several brands, including IOPE, Laneige, Etude House, and many more. I picked a few that catered to my skin needs. I'll update you guys after I try these out!
Also received some samples! I'm excited to try out the Laneige eye cream and Sulwhasoo serum.
Nature Republic
They were having a sale where these snail masks were only $2 so I stocked up and bought 5! Snail essence is good for brightening and moisturizing. For the longest time, I was freaked out about snail products because they seemed so gross but this mask actually smells amazing!
A while ago, I got this shea butter sheet mask as a sample and it literally left my skin super bright and glowing so I bought all the ones that were left in the store!!
Eyebrow products were 30% too so I bought a browcara in shade 01 Brown. Even before the sale it was really cheap, only $11.99 whereas a browcara from ABH would easily cost at least $25.
I ran out of this so I decided to buy another one! You can use their aloe vera gel for many purposes, like a face pack, hair pack, or after-shave gel so I know I'll get a lot of use out of this, especially in the summer when it's hotter.
I don't really use hand cream since my hands are always soft anyways, but these smell amazing! And they had a buy one get one free sale so why not? I bought Cotton Baby, Forest, Shea Butter, and Gardenia (which isn't pictured because I gave it to my mom).
They also gave me a lot of samples!
And that's the end of my haul! After all my blog posts about K-Beauty. I feel like now you know how obsessed I am with Korean makeup products and Asian skincare in general 😅. Once you try it and see the results, there is no escape! My skin has never looked better.
If you ever do go to Aberdeen, I highly recommend trying out Shiny Tea and visiting all these beauty stores! Of course, their food court is also amazing. I literally just go there for the food and desserts ^^'.
Hope you're all having a fantastic weekend!
