Here's the final installment of my haul from my visit to Seoul, Korea! I got a lot of cute things while I was there are LOVED how cheap everything was! Watch the video below from The Beauty Breakdown to see other things I didn't mention in this list including jewelry and accessories! :)

Here some pictures and prices (from what I can remember) of the things I bought :) By the way, I'm telling you the prices in USD... during the time I visit Seoul, the exchange rate for 1,000 won was 1 USD. So it's just easier for me to tell you USD :)  

These are high-waisted shorts I bought by Ehwa Womens' University. I paid $10 bucks for them.

I bought this Khaki-colored crop top in the area surrounding Ewha Womens' University as well. It was $5 bucks!

Around Korea, we would find these $10 purse stores! Everything in them cost $10 each! So my mom and I snagged a ton of cute styles :) What a steal right? I even ended up using the bright pink one in the lower right corner during my stay in Korea! They had a lot of these stores in the Insadong area, which was where we were staying.  

I bought this in the subway. haha. I don't actually remember which stop in particular (they have tons of underground shopping in the subways so it's not difficult to find good deals and cute things down there!) but I do remember this was $5 bucks as well :) 

I spent the most money on this coat... it cost $40! I like a good deal so usually I don't spend that much even at home on one thing, but I thought this was so cute and unique! I bought it by Ewha Womens' University (lots of good shopping there!) 

Another great shopping place for clothes is Dongdaemun! They have crazy multi-level stores that go on forever. I bought this top for $10 :)

I bought this top from the same vendor as the top above. It was also $10. 

How could I go to Korea and not buy shoes? This style was super popular during the time I visited and I saw so many women wearing the exact same shoes! Plus, these guys are super comfy! I bought them in Insadong, literally right outside of where we staying, and they cost $15.

I bought these shoes in the subway for $10. Again, I can't remember exactly which stop, but they have tons of booths in the subway pretty much on everystop, especially the main ones!

One thing I was really excited about buying in Korea were glasses. If you wear glasses or contacts, you know expensive they can be, so I only own a couple pairs. (Glasses in the United States are so expensive! I've paid anywhere from $200-500 dollars just as a reference) I bought these in Nongdaemun for $35! How great is that! They're nor brand-name or anything but I loved that I could buy some funky styles for so cheap! And yes, did I meant, they're prescription? :) 

This was another fun pair I bought. They also cost $35 and I bought them from the same place. Should I do a post on how to buy/where to buy glasses in Korea? Comment below if I should :)

My Night Time Korean Skincare Routine! feat. Etude House, Innisfree, Holika Holika etc.

Long time no see! I thought I'd do some follow up posts for a couple videos I've posted already :) Here's some more specifics on the Korean Skincare Products I use at night! If you haven't seen the video be sure to watch it!

Now for pictures of the products :) Here's a list of what I used in the video!

Here's the order in which I use the Korean Skincare Products. Of course, I cleanse my face first with a foaming cleanser. I love this cleanser from Innisfree. This is their Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam! Boy does this stuff foam up! It feel so luxurious! 

Buy Here: Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam

About once or twice a week, I use this scrub. It's the Clean and Clear Advantage Daily Soothing Acne Scrub. It's very gentle and it doesn't feel like I'm scrubbing my face raw when I use it, which is great!  

Buy Here: Clean & Clear Advantage Daily Soothing Acne Scrub Oil Free Aloe & Avocado

To make sure I've removed all of my makeup, I use the Wonder Pore Freshener. It's, again, gentle on my skin, and does a great job of getting rid of the rest of my makeup, oil, etc.
Buy Here: Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner

This is one of my favorite and most used products. I love this 3 Second Starter in Hyaluronic Acid. This is from Holika Holika and is a booster for your skincare products. 

Buy Here: Holika Holika 3 Seconds Starter Hyaluronic Acid

As my serum, I use the Pearl Aura Brightening Essence from Etude House. This is meant to brighten the skin and make it look luminous! I'm still testing this out, but so far, I really like it!
Buy Here: Etude House Pearl Aura Brightening Essence

I recently discovered this and think this is a great addition to any skincare regime! Before this Grape Seed Wrinkle Neck Cream from SkinFood, I would just use the same skincare products on both my face and neck. I believe in taking care of both you chest and neck just as well as you take care of your face (because let's face it, 20-30 years down the road they should match as you start to age right?) and love having something specifically for my neck and chest!
Buy Here: Skin Food Grape Seed Oil Wrinkle Neck Cream

As my emulsion, I use the Etude House Collagen Moistfull Emulsion. This stuff had great reviews so I've been using it every night and love how it's a thicker emulsion. 

Buy Here:Etude House Moistfull Collagen Emulsion

It's very important to take care of the skin around your eyes, so I put a thick later of this Elizabeth Arden Perpetual Moisture 24 Eye Cream on. When I wake up the next day after applying this, my eyes feel nice and plump!!

Buy Here: Elizabeth Arden Perpetual Moisture 24 Eye Cream

Finally, for my face, I put a layer of this Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Redefining Moisture Cream Complex on. This just seals everything up and really moisturizes my face.  

Buy Here: Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Refining Moisture Cream Complex

It's always a good idea to use a retinol to prevent wrinkles, especially around the eyes. I use this Enprani Retino Eye Cream from Holika Holika. I can't tell how well this is working yet, but I'm very hopeful :) Besides, I'm young so I don't have a ton of wrinkles, but hey, it's always a good idea to start early!

And of course, I put a thick layer of Carmex on my lips. I LOVE Carmex and have been using it for years...Nuff said :)

Yay for Korean skincare products!! What are you favorite skincare products?! :)

Pt. 2 Haul From Seoul, Korea! Makeup and Cosmetics (Etude House, Skin Food, Holika Holika, and MORE)

Alrighty! Here's the second part of my haul from Korea! I'm obsessed with all the goodies I bought and I think I've even found some new favorites :) Want to see what all the makeup I bought while I was in Korea?! Watch the video below or scroll down :) Also, don't forget to see Pt. 1 of my haul which is all the Korean Skincare I bought! So much good stuff :) Be sure to join the email list and subscribe to my channel, The Beauty Breakdown, in order to be updated on when I add the final part of my Korean haul...the fashion part!!

Now for the close up pictures :)

So much good stuff! I love how Korean makeup is so unique but affordable at the same time! I'm always down to try new makeup products! I broke the products up by the stores I bought them from! First, let's start with ETUDE HOUSE!

I was so excited when I was in Korea checking out the new line from Etude House, Lock 'N Summer. The products are supposed to be long lasting and are all "cushion" type products. From this line, I bought:

Etude House Lock 'N Summer (from left to right):

- Lock 'N Summer Cushion Blusher in "Heyo Pink" PK002

- Lock 'N Summer Cushion Blusher in "Shake It Coral" OR201

- Lock 'N Summer Cushion Eyeliner in "Black" BK801 

Here's what the inside of the products look like. As you can see, the product itself is encased in a sponge, which means....NO SPILLS! And since they're liquid-type products, they give the skin a dewy appearance.

Etude House Nail Polish (from left to right):

- Color Play! in "#240"

- Color Play! in "#22"

- Color Play! in "#244"

- Color Play! in "#114"

- Help my Finger Quick Dry Drop

Etude House Lippies:

- Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips in "PPK004"

-Sweet Recipe Dear my Jelly Lips Talk in "JPK002"

-Fresh Cherry Tint in "PK001"

- Vivid Pop Stick in #5 "Teenage Dream"

-Color Pop in P2 "Sunny Pop"

-Color Pop in P12 "Burgundy Pop"

A close up of the packaging for the Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips in "". Look how gorgeous this lipstick is! Not only do I love the packaging but I love how all Etude House lipsticks have their logo embossed on the side of the actual lipstick. SO pretty!

I've worn this Fresh Cherry Tint in "" a couple of times and so far, I REALLY love it! I actually want to buy more shades because I'm really enjoying this product :) 

Here are a couple of products that I bought from the Color Pop Collection. I love how Korean makeup brands are coming out with more pigmented products! Also, I love that they had small "trial" version so you can see if you like the actual product/shade before committing to buy the full-sized product. 

I'm curious about this product and want to see if this Natural Jelly Cleansing Puff from Etude house actually makes a difference in my skin. Review? I think yes once I try it out :) 

Etude House Eye Products (from left to right):

- "Oh-m'Eye Line" Liquid Liner in "Black"

-Dr. Mascara Fixer in "Volume-Up"

MISSHA was having a half off sale on all their eyeliners during the time I visited Seoul. So why wouldn't I buy a couple to try?! :) Plus, they just came out with a new foundation that, I'm not going to lie, really caught my attention with its beautiful packaging.

Missha (from left to right):

- Geumsul Vitalizing BB Cake Cream Foundation

-Super-Extreme Waterproof Soft Pencil Eyeliner (Auto) in "Black"

-The Style Two-in-One Fit-in Gel Liner in "Cacao Star"

Here's what the actual products look like. I love how they had a line of gel eyeliners that have two colors in one! Talk about variety :) 

This is Missha's new foundation! Their Geumsul Vitalizing BB Cake Cream Foundation. And yes, this product deserves alllll the pictures...look at that gorgeous packaging!

I can't wait to try this! It's supposed to be fairly light (despite the fact it has "cake" in its name) but have higher coverage than a typical BB cream. It also has an SPF of 40 PA ++.

This might not be a makeup product...but I just decided to include this into this part of the haul. I love the idea behind this brush and once I use it a little more I plan to do a more in-depth review. 

Ahhhh SKIN FOOD.... I love you so much. I was super excited to see they also came out with a couple new product lines! Check it out!!

'

Skin Food (from left to right):

-Real Fresh Tint Juice in "#6"

-Salmon Dark Circle Concealer in shade "2"

-Hair Velcro

-Tomato Jelly Lip Tint

-White Grape Fresh Foundation in "Natural"

-Rose Essence Soft Cream Blusher in "2"

Here are the products I bought from TONY MOLY. I obsessed with the adorable animal themed packaging.

Tony Moly (from left to right, top to bottom):

-Backstage Gel Eyeliner

-Petite Bunny Gloss Bar in "02"

-Panda's Dream So Cool Eye Stick

-Panda's Dream Brightening Eye Base

 I wasn't planning on buying anything from CLIO, but these products caught my attention so I decided to pick them up!

Clio (from left to right):

- Lipnicure in #8 "Guilty Pink"

- Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini in "The Color of 2014"

The only product that I bought from Holika Holika is their Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream. I heard so many positive reviews about the product so I had to try it! 

 Some of the random stuff I bought. I believe the Modi nail polish is from Aritaum, the eyebrow kit is from Olive Young, and the lipstick is from The Saem (G-Dragon's Global Eco Red Lipstick).

So that's it for Part 2 of my Korean Haul! Hope you enjoyed seeing all the makeup I bought and like I said, don't forget to check out the first part which includes all the skincare I bought! Part 3 will feature all the fashion buys :) Let me know if you want any specific reviews on any of the products I bought!
