[Haul] A Week of Findings (Part 1) :: Nature Republic Mini Haul

Since we were saving for our trip to Korea we haven’t be able to shop all summer, so of course when we got here the first thing we needed to get was some retail therapy XD We’ve been here for exactly a week now and here are just some of the things that we’ve got our hands on already! 

:: Nature Republic Mini-Haul ::

If you follow our Facebook page, you would have seen our little teaser about our spend at Nature Republic early in the week. Actually, though we know the names of many, we’re not actually familiar with products from most Korean skincare or cosmetic brands. It just seemed like too much effort to order things from across the world without knowing if they were any good or not. 

Personal Update:: Back at Full Power!

Though we really wanted to make the most of this summer, unfortunately life was no so kind with our laptop breaking (twice) coupled with a bunch of other problems and then us ultimately moving to the other side of the planet… but, fortunately that’s all over and done with now!

About a week ago we moved to South Korea and we’re almost settled, we’ve also managed to get a new laptop and camera lens (still need a tripod though ;;) and we’re moving into our new place on Sunday, which means, the Han Siblings will be back at full power as of September 1st! That also means that our blog will now be fully active again and so will our YouTube channel (which we seemingly abandoned ;;)

Though we did have a lot of videos and blog posts planned for the summer, unfortunately because we didn’t have a laptop most of those fell through and will be postponed, probably until next year. However, we’ve got a whole bunch of new and exciting blogs and videos planned for this Monday on-wards, for dansou, ulzzang, and culture-lovers alike. We’re trying to get in a whole array of things for you guys to enjoy so look forward to it! 

Anyway, we won’t bore you any longer, but just a quick post to say, we’re back!! 

A Different Perspective on Sun Damage

This year when summer rolled around we switched all our facial creams products to stuff with high SPFs because we learnt a lot about how the sun can damage your skin in more ways than tanning, sunburn and skin cancer.

I think this video does a great job in illustrating just how important/useful sunscreen can be; it stops dark spots, unwanted freckles, wrinkles, other signs of ageing and much more; all in all, it keeps your skin healthy.

Maybe after watching this you might think twice about going out without any protection.

[Haul] Doing Something Different

Since we’ve been saving for our trip, recently we haven’t had any spare cash to spend on shopping, but a couple of days ago I got my deposit back from my university accommodation, so of course the first thing I did was blow most of it in store! Actually, I went with the intention of getting just a cheap pair of heels (which I need desperately) but although I didn’t get those, I did get a few other things and even stepped out of our comfort zone. 

The first few things I got were actually also things I needed desperately and that would be these two wonderful lip lacquers and this gorgeous make-up case! Until now we’ve been keeping our complete make-up collection stuffed into a little bag and honestly it’s been a pain trying to find anything in there, especially when you’re in a rush. Also, I have next to no lip makeup so I was dying for some good ones, and fortunately I got these two gorgeous lip lacquers, they go on like a gloss but even after the gloss fades the colour still remains like a tint. 

Large Black Make-up Case: £27.99 ・ Argos / Rimmel London Apocalips Lacquer:  £3 each  ・Local Market
