My life is so much easier when my skincare product My life is so much easier when my skincare products are multi-functional! I've been trying these products out from @strivectin so let me tell you my thoughts! 💖 The Line Blurfector Instant Wrinkle Blurring Primer is great for the morning after sunblock. As the name implies, it visibly blurs the appearance of wrinkles (even deep-set ones) and also helps makeup last longer. It's SUPER lightweight and almost feels like a second skin so I would definitely wear this on its own. The Super-C Retinol Brighten and Correct Vitamin C Serum contains both stabilized vitamin c and retinol. This is great for getting those powerhouse ingredients in, in one step! These products are available at @sephora .com if you're looking to pick them up! #strivectinpartner #TheBeautyBreakdown #skincare #sephora

I've been playing with the Ceutisome Trial Kits fr I've been playing with the Ceutisome Trial Kits from @oxygenceuticals and my skin feels so bouncy and soft! These feature their patented Ceutisome Stem Formula which infuses oxygen into the skin in a soothing, cooling way. It also promotes the absorption of the product itself... notice how quickly the stem formula absorbs into my skin when I pour it directly onto my cheek! I've never seen or experienced anything like it! My favorite are the H and O kits because it plumps up my skin with moisture while soothes an irritation I might be experiencing. I used to only be able to get OxygenCeutical treatments in spas in Korea, but now you can pick up their products in the United States directly through their website or Amazon!

The Beauty Breakdown, The Travel Breakdown · July 11, 2014

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!
