Korea Diary 6 : Insadong and Home Again

It feels like forever and ever ago that I was last home (during the Christmas hols) but I'm finally back! My time in Korea flew by, and though I'm sad I couldn't have stayed any longer I am enjoying the feeling of being at home (having dinner made for me, fluffy animals everywhere and not having to pay to do my laundry :P).

On Sunday I had my last big spending day and bought quite a lot...I seriously need to curb my spending now I'm home :P Three of us went to Insadong which is a famous (very touristy :P) shopping street in Seoul. It is packed with traditional craft shops, gift stores and restaurants. When we went we saw a street performance with traditional Korean dancers (and some of the crowd joining in :P). If you want to go to Korea for a shopping holiday (or just fancy a nice day out) I really recommend checking out Insadong.

So...onto my slightly naughty buys...

I had to get this classic tourist 'I <3...' t-shirt, it's a bit big, so it'll probably turn into one of my many sleepy tees. The panda was just TOO CUTE to say no to :P I have issues with cute things...


Onto cleansers, I've heard good things about this Laneige cleanser (it was Bubzbeauty's favourite a while ago) so I thought I'd give it a go. I also bought this baking powder cleanser because it claims to be deep pore cleansing (and specialises in removing make up hence the 'BB' at the top). I'll do reviews on both of these once I've used them long enough :)


This Skin Food Rice Mask is another product recommended by Bubzbeauty (I generally get most of my Asian product knowledge from her and Miss Glamorazzi).


I bought sooo many nail polishes > . < From left to right : Skin Food (BL004), Innisfree (7 and 8), The Face Shop ( GR502, WH002, RD302 and BK901). These all have names, but they're in Korean > . <


I love the packaging for this Peripera tint. It's by the same artist who did 2NE1's Hate You music video (which I LOVE) Mari Kim. The tint is in shade 2 Pink Juice.


Finally I got this cute pink eyeshadow palette from Aritaum. I thought the colours were really cute for girly spring looks :)


So that's the last of my Korea hauls! The next day I popped on a 10 hour flight (urggggh), waited in Abu Dhabi for 3 hours, then got on a 7 hour flight back to England. I died several times > . < I also got bad baby karma from having such luck on my flight there (see Korea Diary 1 ). On the 7 hour flight this little kid screamed constantly... But I managed to fit in 5 films (War Horse : Crying like a madwoman on the plane, Breaking Dawn : Surprisingly enjoyable for a Twilight film, New Years Eve : Basically the exact same film as Valentine's Day but enjoyable nonetheless, The Iron Lady : Quite emotional and showing a softer side of Maggie T I hadn't imagined (still a Tory though...), and Sherlock Holmes 2 : So boring and such a disappointment after loving the first one).

Now I'm back home with EASTER EGGGSSSS :D (Green and Black's ftw). I have oh so many blog posts I need to write (including my giveaway!) but those will have to wait until I get back to uni :) I'm about to have an incredibly busy few days popping around the country visiting family and friends before going back to uni on Sunday, so blog posts will be on a hold for a few days (which feels like ages to me because I must admit I've become a little addicted to this blogging business!).

See you soon lovelies :) Enjoy the rest of the hols <3

New House, Pets and JANUARY EXAMS

I'm home! Yays :) Except that we've moved and I have a new house, so it's not the home I left :P I've spent the last couple of days unpacking boxes (so boring) but finally my bedroom is starting to look more like my own :)





I'm back with my pets! I've missed having fluffy things wandering around, at uni it's so pet-less :( So sad. I had forgotten just how much dog fur gets on my clothes though - _ - I need three clothes brushes to make my clothes not ginger and fluffy anymore.... Technically the pets aren't allowed upstairs, but I let my cat up last night to nap on my bed, shhh :P





I went Christmas shopping yesterday (woo Christmas :P) and got two Rimmel products : a red lipstick from the Kate Moss range in 01, I've been wanting a statement red lipstick for ages, I think it's especially good for the holidays, very festive :) I also got a lip liner in 024 red diva, for the lipstick. I got the lipstick for £5, on sale down from £6.50 and the lip liner for £3.99, so not really pricey :P





I'm writing this as a break from revising...it's so very very boring :P After a while I just want to curl up and sleep :P Once my January exams are over I might reward myself with a shopping spree I probably can't afford ;P

Merry Christmas!
