Recent results from a (dermatological) patch test means that I need to a) cull my current skincare hoardage, and while I don’t need new products…b) I find myself looking lustfully at the current Swanicoco sale…
My current BIG no-nos are beeswax/propolis/honey products (I KNOW, RIGHT?!), ylang ylang, “black tar mix” (which in a lot of hair dyes, and stuff), henna, gold, and a variety of added fragrances. So, thank you for including thorough and translated ingredient lists!
#askingforafriend – Is it a sign of a problem, when you purchase more and more storage bins (multi-drawer kinds) because you keep running out of space for all of your skincare products somehow..?
I’ve been meaning to ask – how DO you keep all of those products organized? And, how often (if ever) do you get to a product to find that it had expired 🙁 ?
My organization is a bit lacking at the moment…I have plans to get a bunch of totes that I can label by brand (or maybe product type) to sort them. And I actually can’t recall coming across an expired product–usually I end up using things up on my body before then, or passing them along to friends and family if they don’t work out. Actually, a purge is imminent in my stash!
My gateway k-beauty drug is meejmuse’s channel on YouTube! I can’t find the specific video anymore, but I still regularly watch her videos! So much product to lust over!
Yes! She seems so sweet! I didn’t realize how long it had been since I’d first watched one of her videos, until I couldn’t find that first video that I’d watched, haha!
Haha! Right? I got a lot of people who were straight up jealous because I spoke English “so well”… Like, this one lady in a Myeongdong Chosungah store actually said that to my face, haha! Korea was so fun! I didn’t get to do nearly enough shopping… Or eating!
My dream is to make Korea my second home so I can shop (and binge eat) there once a year. 😂 I’ve had locals stare at me in wonder when I was speaking English to friends and then giggle at how fast I spoke (and apparently, how many gestures I incorporate when I speak English vs. Korean — did not know that!)
@annapark I can’t seem to reply to your messages anymore, but basically, your dream is the same exact one that I’ve been having lately! All the cheap street food!!! <3 <3 <3 Hmm, I never actually thought about that, but I guess we (those of us who were raised in the US) do tend to gesticulate more when we talk! I wonder if I do that in Korean, too..?!
Thanks for pointing out that bug Yeojin — I’ll see if the developers can fix it. But I did get a notification that you tagged me and replied!
Anyways, I think I don’t gesticulate as much in Korean because I’m concentrating so hard on getting the vocabulary, grammar, and honorifics right. 😂 I don’t know about you, but I’m at about a 5 year old Korean level.
