So @weareyouthskincare is a new brand to me and I’ve tried a couple of their products! While I enjoyed all 4 of these, my favorites were the Purity Purifying Light Foam and the Anti-Age Skin Priming & Hydrating Lotion. When I was looking into the brand, I was excited to see that there’s over a decade of r&d behind these products! They target so many skin issues that many of us face like inflammation, aging and acne with innovative technology like plant stem-cells! If you’re curious about Youth Skincare, they are available at CVS nationwide! They’re also hosting a HUGE giveaway to promote their #youthastateofmind ‼️ The grand prize is a 3-day, 2-night trip to Orlando, FL for 2 people. Another 25 winners will receive Youth Skincare!

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

Shopping in Seoul: A Guide for Shopping for Prescription Eye Glasses

When I found out that you could buy super cheap prescription glasses in Seoul, I was like “YES!”. If you’re not aware of it already, I have terrible eyesight. Like, really bad eyesight. I’m practically blind. So I rely heavily on my contacts and glasses. The idea that I could broaden my eye glass collection for cheap was so exciting!
The table I picked my glasses from!

It might seem a little overwhelming at first when you’re looking to buy prescription glasses. Most places have a florescent eyeglass sign above the door. The trick is to find the stores that offer cheap prices because there are stores that sell high-end, expensive glasses. And buy expensive, I mean a couple hundred bucks for the frames alone! In order to find the right store, feel free to walk in, browse and ask how much frames are to get an idea of their prices. Some cheaper glasses stores are more obvious that they have cheap glass (some have a table full of glasses with a sign that says 20,000 won, 30,000 won, etc)

This is the store where I bought mine!

The store I bought my prescription glasses at was in Nongdaemun market. Don’t ask me where because I can’t remember where it was, I just know I got them in this area. I paid 65,000 won for two pairs of prescription glasses. That’s about $65! Talk about insane right?! In the United States, I’ve paid anywhere from $250 to $450 for glasses.

 

The cat-shaped glasses I bought!

It’s really best if you have your prescription on you, so you can make sure you’re getting the right lenses. I remembered what mine is, so I was able to make sure I was getting the right prescription. Fear not though, they usually all have a free check-up to see what your prescription is. I just figure it’s better to know before you go to be certain.

The large framed glasses I bought

I chose the frames I liked and my mom and I left for about an hour and walked around the market. Some nicer places serve you free coffee and tea while you wait too! When we came back, the guy working there had my two pairs of glasses ready! They came with a case and a little cloth to clean the lenses with.

There are glasses everywhere

Overall, don’t be intimidated to shop around! There are TONS of eyeglass shops around Seoul, and it’s almost the thrill of the search to try to find the best deals and cutest frames. Plus, they’re used to people popping in, asking the price, and shopping around more. Let me know in the comments below if you have a specific store that you love to go to in Seoul. I’m sure other readers would like to know! Happy shopping and travels!!

Xoxo, Morgan
