Dongdaemun and MyeongDong are both shopping heaven in Seoul. But I have to say there is not much things to shop for guys. And for girls, we can easily spend 4 to 5 hours hunting for the stuffs we want.
Here we go!
Dongdaemun
At Dongdaemun, you can see many many multi-floored shopping malls that will be selling til 3am or 4am. This is the best place to hang out if you are sleepless.
A spectacular temple/building nearby Dongdaemun
Doota, a world-class shopping center in Seoul
First time shopping from 11pm til 2am!!!
Authentic Korean street snacks
The temperature went lower at night and we ended up wrapping ourselves with super thick coat and scarf. This was how I experienced my midnight street shopping during winter with negative degrees!!!
Everywhere was selling winter clothing
And what I LOVE was skincare products!
Emptying my wallet
Was trying a rabbit fur hat at a shop.
Dami Amethyst got nothing to shop except purple crystals.
THE FACE SHOP
This is not the THEFACESHOP in Malaysia. This is a shop selling many types of skincare and cosmetic products by SAMSUNG. Yes, Samsung has its skincare line in Korea. And the products are not bad. Will write a review on their skincare products soon :)
Was trying their eye masks. They gave all the female visitors a pair to try on immediately.
Spent about RM600 at this place eventually
MYEONGDONG
Nothing could stop my shopping madness when I looked at these shops and shops of great skincare and fashion buys!
Busy street
Hanskin BB cream shop. I spent more than 30 minutes to choose two bottles of BB cream because this shop was selling more than 20 types of BB cream. Definitely a NO NO place for guys
Photo sticker shop
Thought of taking photo sticker but too bad as we didn't know how to read Korean. So I just used my camera to take a shot and the end result was AWESOME!
Gloves and earmuffs
Winter boots
Everywhere is skincare shops. Korea is indeed a skincare heaven!
I was so impressed with the interior design of this skincare shop
This is Lotte Department Store selling all branded stuffs and they have a duty free floor too!
I'm in LOVE with Korean skincare seriously! Their masks and BB cream are so cheap until I bought enough for one year supply.
Wanna know what I bought?
STAY TUNED for the coming post! And I'm giving out some fashion accessories and skincare products to my loyal readers!
so nice~wish that I can go there in future~
ReplyDeletei wan i wan >.<~i also hope can travel there..
ReplyDeleteThere is only one thing better than shopping in Hong Kong, and that's eating. From small noodle joints to upscale French restaurant, you will locate all sorts of restaurant, eating hall and snack stall on earth in Hong Kong. Here I found small amount of Hong-Kong-styled snacks online (yummiexpress.freetzi.com). This is definitely a good choice before I have $ for another trip.
ReplyDeleteYour pics look awesome as usual :D
ReplyDeleteArgh, I wish to go Korea in Winter too but seems like it is scarily cold hahaha.

Hi,
ReplyDeletewas seaching online for help on shopping in korea during winter month and i saw ur blog. if u dun mind me asking 4 ur opinion, my friend loves to shop, does tt mean its best not to go on winter season coz i heard they would only sell clothes according to season. n we're from sg!no point shopping fer winter clothes....
sry 2 bother u with these, juz hope u'll help me, thanks!!! :D
ain: You are right! If you go during winter, they only have winter clothings & accessories. So if u plan to shop for clothings, i advise you to go during Spring or summer.
ReplyDeletehi where did you buy the lady & skin? pls inform me..thx in advance
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: After some searching on the internet, i finally found the address of the shop.

ReplyDeleteHi Carrie,
ReplyDeleteWhich The Faceshop branch did you go to? I wonder if they sell ODBO skincare.
Jess: Faceshop is everywhere in Korea. You can find a few outlets in Dongdaemon & myeongdong. But not sure whether they sell ODBO
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know, Samsung do not have its line of product. The Samsung that is printed on the box means Samsung is the insurer for the product. =D
I'm going there next Tuesday and as excited as I shouldn't be,I looked up for seoul,myeongdong etc on the net and found your blog!
ReplyDeleteI wish I'll have a great time like you did.
