Skinfood : yummy food for skin x ZALORA

Tinyceci is now in the land of kimchi with her mom typing this in the hostel. It feels really good to be back here! My second home~^^ The weather is my favorite type of chilly: 5-15 degrees Celsius but my skin isn't really agreeing with my elation since the dry weather takes some getting used to.

Anyway, so I started (restarted) using some skin packs and masks to restore moisture balance to my skin, which broke out the day we arrived. There are some secret tips Koreans use to do this at home using food ingredients, but thankfully for those of us who find it hard to keep track and store food for skin mask packs, there's SKINFOOD Singapore! Now available online~ ^^

I swear by using raw egg whites for break outs and in Korea(learned from my Korean beautician), it's really easy to store the excess raw egg whites in the fridge but in tropical countries like Singapore or Philippines, that's really tough without risking the whites getting contaminated or turning bad, so I'm really happy to see SKINFOOD came up with these products.

Also, the black sugar wash off mask is a great exfoliator! It's also much more cheaper compared to another brand F****.

Here're some masks for troubled skin (I'm really surprised the prices are so reasonable!)^^ : 

Next up, I know pore brushes are really popular in Singapore now and SKINFOOD also has their own! I love how they have a string thingy at the end so it's easy to hang it up for drying. 

Next up, I've been going crazy with lip tints whilst shopping here. There are just SO MANY lip tints to choose from! And they are so soooo good and pretty! Lipsticks are passé. Tints with a touch of gloss make such pretty gradient lips and they last all day...

With Christmas coming, SKINFOOD offers really good options for gifts under $10. Check this out! They are all so cute!!! Just buy one of each and mass presents for coworkers =done.

Christmas is coming ~!^^ HOHOHO better start planning for Christmas pressies now~

Christmas shopping @TFS

So a couple of days ago, T's sister handed me this brochure for THEFACESHOP's Christmas sale.

 

I'm not usually impressed (to say the least) by the pricing of Korean skincare/cosmetic products in Sunny Singapore because it's all-so-overpriced compared to the prices I was used to shopping ONLINE in the Korean websites (yes it's way cheaper than the prices in physical stores and they deliver all of it with generous freebies to your doorstep), but this time around, something caught my eye.

Really cute hand cream sets! No, really...

The SMIM concentrate!!!!! 더스밈 (It's like a skin conditioner like Albion / SKII that essentially preps the skin to be more receptive to the usual skincare steps)

SMIM comes from the Korean term 스며들다, which means to be quickly absorbed. And that's what this whole series does! I really swear by this series' density version for the concentrate, toner and emulsion for day use. It's like a milder version of SKII (and more friendly on the pocket) and it works without irritating my sensitive skin.

It comes in the 150ml bottle with two 50ml bottles of the toner and emulsion too at 69.90sgd.

Well. In kimchi land, if you buy just the concentrate ONLINE now, you get the big sized ones over 200ml at 20,500krw, that's like under 25sgd, the usual price being over 45,000krw. (50sgd+++?)

Anyway, I think 70sgd for the entire thing is pretty okay since it's literally at par with the prices in the Korean retail stores.

So, got them 3 sets and some freebies ^^

I <3 samples for traveling! Don't you all?

The poster is dec of the dozen featuring KIM SOO HYUN ssi 김수현씨. (Yes the smarty pants from 별에서 온 그대. So if anyone wants it... ^^
