A STYLE FOR YOU (Korean Show)

Hi there! It's been a while since my last post. I'm so busy with college that I don't have time to write a review of the products that I bought.In my pending list there's:

• Tony Moly The Backhead Out Oil Gel

• Holika Holika Pig-nose Clear Black Head 3-step Kit

• Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeliner

When I've time I will post the reviews. Today, to make it up I will show you a beauty korean program that I really like and enjoy. It's the A STYLE FOR YOU. You can watch in the KBS youtube channel (it's a korean TV channel where they upload all of their programs with subtitles). 

 

 

A STYLE FOR YOU is a korean beauty and fashion program where the MC's provides tips and suggestions regarding on make up, fashion, food and other topics. The 4 MC's are korean idols who are internationally known: Super Junior's Heechul, Kara's Goo Hara, Sistar's Bora and EXID's Hani. They also have to complete missions, for example to make a customization product. It's fun and amusing to watch. I absolutely recommend you.

  You can watch the first episode here.

 

They have also a website. In those missions that I said before, you as the audience can vote the best style.

Did you watch it? What do you think? Do you watch other beauty programs? Do you usually watch any korean program? I will gladly read all your comments! See you next time! 

Where can you buy korean cosmetics? (Part II)

You can also buy it online. There are a lot of websites that provide this services. 

I will list you some Ebay sellers where I bought my products. Also some more from some recommendations of bloggers. 

Please keep in mind that you can never be 100% sure when making purchases online. Using services like Paypal it makes you more secure (well that's what I think). Also make sure to check on the tax laws in your country, keeping this information is always handy. 

~No specific order~

• Rinishop: It has lowest prices. Free shipping. Well package and protected, and a lot of free samples. The delivery was fast, 1 week more or less (my experience). They have also a website  MyRinishop.

• Cosmeticmarket2012: It has very low prices. It's not one of the sellers that sends more samples, but it has a wide range of products and free shipping. I recently found that this user has its own online store EOPENMARKET.

• F2PLUS: Another seller that I recommend. It's one of the first that updates in Asian cosmetics at a very good price. Free shipping. Items are pack carefully and samples are often included. They also have their own website BEAUTYNETKOREA. I've never purchased in their website.

• IamLove-shop: This seller has a variety of products, and also a good range of brands. They have some good deals but their price are higher than any other ebay seller. They also include samples. Free shipping. They also have a website JOLSE, if you register in their site you can accumulate points for purchases and have discounts on future orders. I've never purchased in their website.

• Cosmetic-Love: This seller has regular promotions and it offers free shipping. They give samples and also free gifts. You can visit them also in their web page Cosmetic-Love. I've never purchased in their website.

The best time to buy korean products is on holidays sales, for example on Christmas, on New Year also on Chuseok (it's an autumn festival that falls on September 8th).

Dou you buy in any other websites? Which one is your favorite? If you have any questions just comment below. See you on my next post!

Where can you buy korean cosmetics? (Part I)

For those who live in Barcelona, there is a Korean Cosmetic Shop. 

It's called Miin Korean Cosmetics. They have recently opened the store just a year ago. It's located in Carrer Pau Claris, 110, 08009 Barcelona.

They also have a website. They offer a variety of korean products: skincare, makeup, masks, accessories, and more. They also have the most popular brands: 3CE, Etude House, Holika Holika, Innisfree, Missha, Tony Moly, The Face Shop, Skin Food and more.



Another store that has korean cosmetics is Primor. They have more than 50 shops all over Spain, but in Barcelona there are only two:

(click the image to view large)

1. Centro Comercial Maremagum, moll d'Espanya 5.

2. Centro Comercial Gran Via 2, Avinguda Gran Via 75.

It's difficult to find their korean cosmetics, usually they have it on the shelves, just in a corner. There is not much variety (products) in the shop but in their website (link above) you can see a lot more.

It's nice to have physical stores so you can try and see the products. But the prices are quite expensive, because if you buy directly from Korea you will probably face some restrictions like late deliveries and Spanish customs duty.

Sorry for my bad English. See you in my next post. Comment below for any questions ~

Tony Moly Tomatox Magic Massage Pack (Review)

Hi readers~ today I'm going to talk about a Korean beauty product that I just recenty discovered. It's the Tony Moly Tomatox Magic Massage Pack. It's a face mask package inside a cute tomato shape container.

According to Tony Moly this massage pack contains Tomato Extracts to vitalise, clarify and hydrate the skin. I've been using it for three months and it's fantastic.

Product information

Brand: Tony Moly

Price: $9,12 ~ 8,08€

Where to buy: Rinishop

It is suitable for sensitive skin, sunburned skin, skin with accumulated melanin, as well as dull skin due to poor blood circulation or bad living habits. Some reviewers experiences burning or stinging sensations to their skin when first applied. I did feel some minor stinging around the sides of my nose, since it was already peeling.

How to use it

After washing your face, apply it to your damp skin and gently massage it for 1-2 minutes. Then leave it to settle on your face for 5–10 minutes. I recommend leaving it for 10minutes for maximum benefit. Then to remove it, rinse out with lukewarm water and gently pat with a towel. Use it 2 to 3 times per week or use everyday as needed.

Ratings

 

PROS:

• Easy to apply (like a lotion cream, not too thick).
• Instant and noticeable results.
• Brighter and softer skin
• Pleasant and fresh fragrance
• Cute and reusable packaging
• Affordable price
• Good size with 75ml of product.

CONS:

• Results are temporary and I need to use this mask regularly to maintain the results. 

After using it for a week, I was impressed. My skin did look so much brighter and awake, and the texture more refined and smooth to touch. I would repurchase it again.
