Pt. 1 Haul From Seoul, Korea: Skincare! (Etude House, Skin Food, Innisfree, Nature Republic, and more!)

I’m proud to present… my haul from Korea! And yes, I spent a decent amount of money (yay for saving up my money for an entire year because it was DEFINITELY worth it!). I’m breaking this haul up into three separate parts: skincare, makeup, and fashion items. So let’s get started with the skincare haul! (ps. I’ve updated this post with links to buy all the product I mention in this haul just to make it easier for you to find 🙂 just click on the item name!)

While shopping for skincare while I was in Seoul, I tried to pick things that I felt were unique to the country… and there were a TON of unique skincare products that I was super excited to buy and try 🙂

While shopping in HOLIKA HOLIKA, I wasn’t planning on buying skincare at all really. However, one of the sales associates that was helping me was really nice, informative, and ding ding!…spoke fluent english. I felt very comfortable asking her questions and felt that she was very reliable and not just trying to sell me a bunch of stuff I really didn’t need.

At NATURE REPUBLIC, I only bought a couple things because I’m not completely familiar with the brand. The main product I wanted to pick up was the Aloe Vera Soothing Gel because this stuff if what makes Nature Republic famous!

While visiting MISSHA, I was really only interested in this essence. It’s supposed to be very comparable to the SK-II solution, however MUCH cheaper. So of course, I had to have it 🙂

INNISFREE has a very wide variety of skin care products and I loved the idea that a lot of their products are natural. I noticed that a lot of their products also featured resources from the Jeju Islands such as volcanic clay and water from the islands!

Everything else I just picked up from other stores! Most of them were impulse buys, except the Laneige Sleeping Pack because I’ve heard such great things about the product!

-Sea Tree Snail Sheet Masks (yes…SNAIL!)

Last, but certainly not least, is this kit my mom’s aunt gave me. This is a kit from The History of Whoo, which is a very prominent brand in Korea. She said she had to preorder this kit and it only comes out once a year! In this kit is a lipgloss kit, a cream, and a spatula.

Isn’t it just gorgeous! I don’t even want to use it, it is so pretty! Want to see what the lipgloss set looks like? You’ll just have to watch my video on my Korean Skincare Haul 🙂

So that’s all the skin care I bought while I was visiting Seoul, Korea! If you’d like me to do any specific reviews, please feel free to comment and I’ll try to get to it! 🙂 also, please be sure to subscribe to my channel! It helps me out a ton!
