January is over and I had the opportunity to try new and fun things. I can't wait to move back home so I can try ALL the things. =)
Without further adieu, here are my favourites for January:
1) Gerlavit Moor-Vitamin-Cream:
I got this when I went to Vic's and I have been really enjoying using this at night. It's a very thick cream and a little goes a long way. I like to place a pea size amount in the palm of my hand, spread it around the palm, and pat it into my face. The thickness really helps moisturise my face and lock in the moisture during the night. Sometime I wear a sleeping mask, sometimes I don't, but either way, it's a great night cream.
2) Aritaum Honey Mask:
I love wearing some type of mask when I am on a long flight, as I stated in my previous post about sheet masks, but my mom kept harassing me not to wear them on the plane, so this round, I decided to wear this. I will say it's not as good as a sheet mask; I think the fact that the masks are soaked in essence really soothes my face and also hydrates my skin, but it really does help with the dry air. Even if your skin is oily, I highly recommend hydrating your face in a long flight. I find when I hydrate my face, my skin skin breaks out less. Just my own personal experience.
3) Modi Gold Glitter Nail Polish:
My cousin gifted this to me when I was home and I love it. I love how little coats in needs and I love how pretty it looks on my nails. Normally, when there is a glitter nail polish, it takes so many coats to get a decent look. This is not the case. You can use one coat if you'd like and it would be enough. Such wonderful coverage and also such a pretty gold colour.
4) Kamill Hand & Nagelcreme:
Until recently when I have been watching the "Tasty Guys" on repeat, I used to watch the Korean beauty show "Get it Beauty" religiously. Although I feel the show has generally jumped the 상어, I found out this hand cream was an MVP by this show. If you walk around the Incheon Airport, the Lotte Duty Free has a display that shows products from the show that have rave reviews. If you go towards Gate 9 you will see the Korean beauty shop.
I got this hand cream from my mom, who got it free from work. I love this hand cream. The smell is a fresh, flowery smell and it really sinks into my skin. Sometimes, when I wear cream, I feel the cream isn't moisturising enough and my hands still feel dry, especially when I was my hands outside. This really helps cuts the dryness. I also have a TonyMoly snail handcream which I plan to use next, so a review will be coming up on that.
5) Gentle Monster sunglasses: Yes, the hype is real. I love these sunglasses so much. They are so edgy and really unique. They have the mirror lenses that are really trendy at the moment and the frames have a Miu Miu feel. Gentle Monster is really popular in Korea and they have a store in Soho so if you're in NYC, I recommend going to their store as their stores are aesthetically so artistic and I love how they really go for a theme.
6) Legend of the Blue Sea (푸른바다의전설) and Goblin (도깨비):
I am not a person who generally watches a lot of Korean dramas but these two have me HOOKED. Both are about people who, in their past life, were Korean royalty, or part of their court, and they have these flashbacks. "Legend of the Blue Sea's" twist is that the girl is a mermaid with special powers whilst "Goblin" has a guy who can't go to the afterlife until he finds his bride, which turns out to be this high school girl. Weirdness aside, I initially resisted becoming sucked into the morass known as K-dramas since once you start, you really must finish the series. But luckily, they are about to end/ending soon so I am STOKED so I won't be frantically waiting until the next episode comes so I can see what happens next. Until the next series.....
I hope you enjoyed my January favourites. If you have any products you want me to try,
