My New Favorite Korean Beauty Products, Part 2
Read part 1 here Sheet masks have become pretty ubiquitous by now, wouldn’t you say? I myself have been exploring new brands and types, reading up on the latest trends/gimmicks (animal or kabuki sheet masks, anyone?), and investigating the best-reviewed masks per my usual researcher self. And my favorite types of masks, so far, have been […]
My New Favorite Korean Beauty Products, Part 1
Harro! As you can probably tell by the dismal state of my blog this month, I’ve been pretty busy lately. (And when I manage to get a break, I have been zoning out in front of Netflix.) And since I get so much positive feedback about product reviews — especially ones regarding Korean beauty stuffs — I’ve decided […]
Giveaway: Dr. Oracle The Snow Queen Enzyme Powder Wash (Plus MORE Samples!)
I thought I had seen them all when it came to the form that Korean skincare took in its packaging and delivery systems. Ampoules, serums, sherberts, and gels, oh my!

Admittedly, any idiot knows to Google a particular product, but aside from eBay and third-party Amazon sellers, which are the best […]
Illustrator Gives Western Fairy Tales a Korean Makeover
Korean artist Na Young Wu has recently unveiled a series of illustrations which combines well-known western fairy tales with the Korean manhwa (the equivalent of manga in Korean) as well as the traditional Korean drawing style! They’re quite stunning, to say the least. The Princess and the Frog: The Little Mermaid: Snow White: You may also like: The […]
My Holiday Sales-Slash-Birthday Beauty Haul [Food Poisoning Edition]
I’m on day 4 of (what I believe to be) a bad case of food poisoning. My poor tummy. My poor plumbing system. My poor family. Anyway, because today is the first day since last week where I felt semi-human yet still suffering a bit (and out of blogspiration) — and because so many of you seem […]

Happy Halloween! My last two posts have been Halloween-related, but I unfortunately have nothing to add to the holiday today. Instead, I wanted to share with you…wait for it…3 things I found on the internet today! (As if you couldn’t tell from the title! 😛 ) 1. Left or right? Making choices in Snowpiercer I […]
The Changing Face of Koreans
You probably presumed from the title of this post that I will be talking about plastic surgery. 😉 Well, you’re partly correct. My intention behind this post is to share with you an article published in today’s WSJ: “The Changing Face of South Korea,” which discusses how Korean faces are changing over time — from tens […]
