It's been a long time since I've last wrote... it's been a long 8 months of silence, and I'm glad to finally find some time to blog about something that's been on my vanity table for a long time.
Guess what? Not cosmetics, but lip products! Hahaha... caught some of you unawares right?
Alright, not gonna talk long and shall get to the point. I don't use lipstick because I have sensitive lips, dry and chapped skin easily form after an application of lipstick, which could lead to blisters :(
I have never showed much interest in skincare or lipcare but since my trip to South Korea I've begun to take more care of my skin and lips. Korean women look young for their age, and I think it's partly because of the care they take to preserve their youthfulness.
In the picture above, only the Lip Smacker (in my favourite Strawberry Fanta flavour) and Maybelline coloured lipbalm were purchased in Malaysia.
The rest were bought in South Korea, and before you think that's an awful lot, let me tell you that I can easily buy back more if I didn't resist myself :p
The Prestige Snail Lip Treatment, cherry and blueberry lipbalm were from Tony Moly, I couldn't resist picking the lipbalm which were packaged cutely like a real fruit! I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they threw in a small bottle of Cat Chu Wink liptint as a free gift :D
From Etude House, I bought the 'It's Fine' and 'Don't Worry' coloured lipbalms, as well as Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Colour and Juicy lipgloss. Of all the products from Etude House, I loved the 'Don't Worry' coloured lipbalm the best. It has a light mango scent and a peachy-pink colour, and my lips feel moisturised after each use, definitely my best buy so far.
Lastly, the Vaseline Lip Essence in Cherry flavour is a must-buy if you're in South Korea during the harsh cold months. As I was in Seoul in November, the chilly wind made my lips super-dry and even the most moisturing lipbalm couldn't help. This tube of Vaseline worked like a charm, and boy, thank goodness I decided to stop in a drugstore in Edae, where I bought this. My lips would have cracked by the time I came home had I not found this then.
Looking forward to my trip to Japan in the second half of this year. Wonder what goodies do they have in store for me over there? Stay tuned for updates on my coming trip to Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo!
