What to buy in Korea


For ladies, the most most most important thing to buy in Korea is skincare products!

BB cream and facial masks have so many varieties! I guarantee that you will faint when you walk in Missha, Etude House, Hanskin and etc.

The skincare products are so CHEAP compared to Malaysia!!!

I got these back after emptying my wallet!!!


P1111316b
Best buy- Laneige Water Sleeping Mask. Normal price is about RM110 in Malaysia but it was only RM70 in Korea OMG!!! And I got a 4 piece gift too :)


P1111323b
The most expensive buy- Lady & Skin range. I briefly introduced about this brand in my previous post.


P1111320b
The star product of Lady & Skin- Cell Emotion RX Prestige System, consists of EGF serum (the one in white tube) and Placen serum (the one in metallic silver bottle).


About RM450 for two boxes, which is enough for one month usage. Yes, it's for only ONE month, which you only need to apply this at night time after cleansing and applying toner.

Step 1: Repairing EGF serum
Step 2: Repairing Placen serum

No step 3 and step 4 because this is an intensive repairing program, any other skincare products will not be able to deliver its benefits deep into your skin according to the sales assistant.

I used this expensive set of serum during my super peak and hectic period, whereby I only slept for 4 or 5 hours a day. I believe this serum really helped in repairing my dehydrated and aging skin.

Usually my skin will grow dark spots if I have insufficient sleep. But after using this, I do not notice any dark spot so far *touch wood*

The most visible result is the RADIANCE this product delivered. Really ♥♥♥♥ it!


I got myself 4 tubes of BB CREAM. One from THEFACESHOP, two from Hanskin and another one from IOPE.

P1111311b
This is the best and also the most expensive amongst the four I bought. IOPE BB cream, RM90.

IOPE is a famous brand in Korea, under a company which owns a few skincare brands including Laneige. After I googled around on the web, I found out that IOPE is surprisingly more prestigious than Laneige. I rate it the best because it has the SPF that I want, has a pleasant aroma and it contains shining pearl, which improves my dull complexion.

THEFACESHOP BB cream is economical but its not bad too.



KOREA produces the best ginseng in the world according to our tour guide. But the prices are too expensive and I doubted the quality of the ginseng sold to tourists, so I only bought these.

Korean ginseng tea and chocolate glutinous rice cake with ginseng filling

Purple crystal necklace from Dami Amethyst, which I mentioned in the previous post.




These are the long-awaited souvenirs that I promised to give to my lovely readers.

  16. Hi Carrie,

    i came across your blog and realised you were introducing the brand LS. I just came back from Korea & got some of their products. Totally love it. may i ask if Step 2 is suitable to apply around eye area?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Janice: I didn't apply that around my eye area. Better not. Step 1 can be used for eye area, so i think is enough ... haha

    Carrie!
    just came acroess yr blog as i just returned from Korea.
    i didn't know we must buy skin care products in korea as others are quite expensive compared to Msia and the only things whihc are cheaper are their skin care.

    bought a little though (one bb cream only (should have stock up more!), sleeping mask, my mom bought the L&S pack (haven't tried yet) and masks.

    I'm wondering can i order online for korea skin care products? as i will not fly to korea in near future. any website to recommend?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Janice: i do not know any website for korea skin care products. So sorry. Their BB cream is superb! So many types and so cheap! Ya. I'm an audtor n still with BDO. Are u an auditor as well?

    Hi Carrie, loved your blog entry:)
    I'm heading to Seoul in sep, may I know which laneige outlet did you bought your products from?
    is the flagship laneige store in MD selling at the same prices?

    Also, are the ginseng products nice? And where can I get them?

    Thanks in advance Carrie!!:-)

    Regards,

  25. Anonymous: Hi, thanks for reading my blog. I bought Laneige from a shop selling all different brands of skincare. This kind of shop is everywhere in Korea especially at Dongdaemun & Myeondong. The prices are all same if you buy in Korea.

    Ginseng tes or candy are just so so. If you wanna buy, I advise you to buy authentic ginseng. BUt it's very expensive. I'm not sure where to get authentic ginseng in Korea. Perhaps you can try to google

  26. hi dear, I am currently using the L&S Cell RX Repairing Serum range too! The results is gd! Skin is healthier but i noticed i develop a few pimples. Did that happened to u before too? And I rem the sales girl say no need to use any skin care pds including toner. So i never. Seems like the website says need toner?
