1st Impression: Tony Moly - Tomatox Magic White Massage Pack, Floria Flower Energy Foam Cleanser, Intense Repair Syn-Ake Wrinkle Filler Perfector

I started to realized that I'm started to hoard samples of skincare, perfumes and even makeup. While some sample are generous enough for me to comeup with a decent reviews which I totally loves how generous is the sellers, well some samples are just ... nahhh... especially ones in sachets. I definitely not the type to waste these, I will try not let these free samples left out to rot so I thought if it's not worth a thorough review I might do a first impression post on them. This should be short, almost spontaneous and should give me idea whether I should get it or not. 

So I was in Seoul for a holiday and I shopped for several days and I was given a lot of free samples, even the airport comeup with this Summer Sale goodies bag and fill with all beauty stuffs.

Tony Moly Tomatox Magic White Massage Pack
Now I didn't find this in the store *or I just didn'notice* but it should have been one of my purchase because it's actually quite cheap and it's just a mask which I can compromise into my skincare, that's my initial thought when I went searching for this product on the internet.

So this product should be packed with tomatoes,so there's vitamin C definitely good for the skin especially for brightening. There's more ingredient and benefits they claim but since it's just a first impression post, I just going to skip that. 

 But what do bothers me a bit is that what I get from the sachet is just a white smooth paste but when I look at other pictures of this product it actually contain some kind of fine red grain, or I just didn't notice?

Let's move on, I massage into my face and leave for a while and it felt like regular mask, I don't feel the tingling like what people have claim about this product. The texture felt nice on my skin, it looks like clay but it's not. What I love about this is that's easy to rinse and there's no feel of residues left behind.

There's definitely some instant bright effect but believe me this is no magic paste, even though they write Magic there. So probably with continuous use you could see a more permanent effect?

Since I'm quite on the rush of finishing sachets of free sample, I kind of wearing this regularly,and thank god there's no bad reaction with my skin, I don't get breakouts from these as well. For a first impression since I find this very affordable, there's nothing wrong getting this mask, if you have extra scrape of cash, you could get this, especially if you're a beauty junkie.

Nevertheless I wouldn't run out to get this immediately.

Now I'm not sure about this, is there Tony Moly stores available in Malaysia? or does SASA stock them? I'm not sure, but I do find some reviews made by fellow Malaysian, not sure how they got them *online/stockist/stores*.

But I am pretty sure this brand is definitely not available in the UK, so people buy them through online, where they really shipped the products straight from Korea *expensive postage for such a cheap product* So hopefully this post give like an insight about this product.

I just thought I take the chance to include other product, since it's been a while I post something hehe. These are Tony Moly as well.

Tony Moly Floria Flower Energy Foam Cleanser

I would say, there's nothing much about this. It's just a regular foaming cleanser and it foams well. Since it's a foaming cleanser, it is quite drying, so I still prefer my Origins A Perfect Day cleanser. It's claim "Youthful radiant  skin and blooming 'baby-face' *yes, it was written there* made by time reversing..." something. haha! But anyway, I check this out on the internet, it contains many plant base ingredients up to 14 flower extract. It contains Hibiscus that is a super anti-oxidant and Evening Primrose Oil. 

Tony Moly Intense Care Syn-Ake Wrinkle Filler Perfector

Now this seems interesting, more towards the premium end of the brand, this is target more for mature women since it targets wrinkles, obviously by the name. So three sachets are all of different products, there is the Wrinkle Serum, Fine Wrinkle Filler and Deep Wrinkle Filler. The active ingredients in these product is actually snake venom  o.O *wow!*. I know some oriental cuisine would have snake for soup since it's healthy, though I never heard of snake venom in a skin care product before. They also contain 'marine collagen water'.. hmmm *collagen sounds good*

What's quite misleading for the Wrinkle Serum, here the name suggest "wrinkle reducing" but in the explanation they only talk about face contouring like "manage face outline... the u-zone" which is actually not surprising since Koreans *Asian in general* do take face shape seriously and V-shape *almost sharp chin* is ideal. I do like the consistency of the serum, it's nothing new, cream-gel like consistency, a nice smell and fresh to be put on. At first I thought I would just put this on wrinkle are like my smile line, my forehead due to dry lines... but since they talk about face surface and outline, I put it on my whole face.

For the filler, surprisingly both type is of way different consistency. The Fine Wrinkle  is of clear gel consistency and it's very light but the Deep Wrinkle Filler is of white thick creamy paste. So you have to work it a bit more into your skin with the Deep Wrinkle Filler. At first I thought these are like primer before putting on makeup which suppose to fill in your wrinkle, but it's actually a serum type, so you put on the Wrinkle Serum, then spot application to wrinkle area with the Fine Wrinkle Filler follow by the Deep Wrinkle Filler. I haven't seen much improvement on wrinkles since it's just a sachet of sample, but I notice how moisturizing these are which is a good sign for wrinkle improvement. In the whole, I thought of it as quite an interesting products but I think it's no surprise if this is quite expensive, though not too expensive since I believe Tony Moly is an affordable brand. Again, all these didn't give bad reaction to my face.

Shopping Haul - KLCC and Ampang Point *For Eid/Raya*

First of all, I would like to wish you guys Selamat Hari Raya or Eid Mubarak for all Muslims. Hopefully you guys and families have a wonderful and blessed Eid. Now I should have done this a little earlier, but you know me, always late.

Just want to share with guys a haul.... again... Actually I do want to post something else but then I don't want something related to Eid to be so late right. Eventhough it might not inspire you for your Eid this year but hopefully it is some other ways still helpful.

So it's been a while since I went to KLCC and I don't think I went there last year when I got back home. I like KLCC and Ampang Point because it's really close to my house and it pretty much got what I need and what I like.

So to be honest, I don't really have the slightest idea on what to buy, I was thinking maybe shoes, or some dressy blouse or makeup??? so my momentum was slow that time but nevertheless I still manage to pick a few items... some are specifically for Eid and some is just regular shopping I guess.

Blue strappy embellished wedges - Vincci RM 60.00 

This, honestly is not really my style but I really find the embellishment very interesting, there is one in nude beige colour. And actually I was with my sister, and I thought she should try it, and she ask for her size, but it seems they had only the nude in her size and coincidentally the blue one in my size. So when my sister was trying them I was like "go get it, it's less than a hundred ringgit, you can't go wrong and you love wedges... bla bla" to my sister even though that day we were aiming for like a more pricier shoes... then she coax me into trying the blue one, and she hit me back about the shoes being cheap and all. And thus we end up buying the same shoes but of different colour. It is interesting as well since after a while this year suddenly our mum are making uniform baju kurung for us to wear on the first day of Raya. So I think that's fine. And again since it's quite cheap, there's not much to lose.

Cream studded flats - Zara RM 120

Actually I spotted a really really cool spiky studded flats in black, and I almost want to get it. But then I thought of the number of black shoes increasing as well as I don't think my dad is going to be ok with spiky shoes. So I got this cream one instead, and it still great for me, since it's studded the whole front and it's not like those ballet flat, it's like slipper so more coverage on my feet which I prefer. It is definitely a good alternative when I'm tired wearing those new wedges. I like it that it's quite dressy and sparkl so it's kinda cool to wear it for Eid.

Next stop Parkson.

Leather loafers - Hush Puppies RM 198

Okay, I definitely don't buy this for Raya... it's too simple for me. But I always wanted to buy a Hush Puppies loafers. It's versatile, comfortable and I just love good leather shoes. After a while of buying Clark Shoes I realize that I actually prefer Hush Puppies. Not really about the design but it's nicer to my feet?  However I just love to have this since I'm already wrecked my tanned flats. I do prefer them in tanned leather than in nude one, but I'm ok with that.

So before heading to clothes section I thought I should get some undergarment, I do invest in bras and Triumph was doing some kind of a deal and I got RM75 off which is a lot! I just mention this because I just want to say it out loud like even though it's an 'under'garment there's nothing to lose when you buy something from Triumph, even my old ones are still look new and the bra strap aren't loose or tattered. The last one I got was like more than 2 years ago so it's definitely a great investment.

I always goes to Dorothy Perkins at Parkson because they always have something dressy which should be good for Eid outfit. So my sis and I working out through the rails *sales one first* and to be honest there's nothing amazing that we can find. But I picked up this dress, thought it look decent. It's an ok dress, the print look interesting and it was about RM 70. Before this I thought of short dress like skater dress would look nice on skinny but every time I try it just does not work out. But this one is a bit different, it is quite a fit but the skirt does not flare out too much. So it's kind of give a more streamlined look, like you're wearing a quite fitted long blouse.

Taupe dress - Dorothy Perkins RM 70

 Its short sleeve and the neck is quite plunging, but I thought I would wear this with a cropped jacket or blazer some kind. Cropped cardigan would be nice but I don't have that.

Rings and Brooches

Okay by the look of the pictures, you can guest that I got crazy *again* with rings. So I got these rings at Chamelon KLCC. I actually love their rings, some of my favourite wrings are from there. So I went in and take a look and they have like multitude *trays and trays* of thin silver and gold rings and I was like going crazy over them. . It's been a while since I saw rings sold like that, I mean we can't get that from Topshop or H&M so I really like that. I just got two of the silver one and I've been into these kind of rings and wear them stacked and mixed. I should have gotten more actually.

Then I got the one with red stone, thought the deep colour look cool, kind of interesting to wear it matching with my deep red lips look. It will give kind of bohemian dark look... definitely great for upcoming autumn winter season.

Then I just pick up the gold flower ring because it remind me of the silver rose ring I had, if would have be really really perfect. But I like it cause I only had gold leaves... and I don't know, I love incorporate floral into my style and this is not making it too girlish.

Then the blue stone, I actually would love if it's like those turquoise with black veinings stone, but I don't find one with preferred size, but I like this colour. Blue starting to get on my list, for some reason. It's not too dark which can be so predictable of me, it's a bit light shade but muted in a way. And this definitely look good if I wear with my blue face large metal watch which I always always wear. 

That watch I got from Bumcity and it's been 4 years and last time, I broke it *again* in Korea, but it's fixed. So now I'm trying to not to wear it too regularly since probably it aged and I'll cry if it's broken for good. 

I can't remember the exact price of these rings, but the stones one like more than RM 10  I think, and the gold flower one probably about RM 7  and the silver are less than RM 4 *I can't remember seriously*

Then I went to Ampang Point which is like less than 10 minutes from home. A lot of my brooches for my hijab is tattered  broken so I thought of getting more. So I just went to this one stall and got this, they are 4 for RM 10 or 5 for RM 10, and I share with my sis. So personally I don't really wear large  brooches at all, as you see I'm not really an avid follower of hijab's trend or brooches trend. I would wear my scarf normally as I do and wear like small to medium size brooch on my shoulder to secure it. Probably because I'm the type who likes to wear rings and necklace and maybe arm candies, so I would tone down on brooches. If I ever have big brooches it's usually from my mum.

Then of course when we get new clothes we got to get new scarf as well,  especially for our baju kurung. I had a problem because I don't remember exactly the colour and tone of my baju kurung, yikes! Nevertheless I still look around and found these two scarf at the ground floor 'Raya Bazaar'. Both are printed and they are cotton, I think, hopefully easy to manage.

Dark blue leopard print RM10

This is just a basic and I already had one kind of like this pattern but in chiffon. But it's old and kind off tattered so I thought I just get this before my old suddenly ripped. *but I love my old one more, I've seen many people have wore something like this before*. Actually I was thinking of doing mixing pattern outfit which I would wear this with my full checkered baju kurung, since both of them regular pattern, I thought it might work. When I got back, the tones is quite off... it could have been nice to have it match. Oh well, it still very wearable.

Peachy Beige Mixed print RM10

Now this is quite interesting. I thought it's definitely great to wear with plain clothes, it has a brown or beige undertone which I feel it's look flattering on me. The mixed print kind of off the roof, we got polka dots in middle part and the ends are like mixed of green, 'purple' thin leaves and patches deep maroon like almost like leopard print.. hahaa! It's hard to explain now. I was surprised to find this suddenly work with this plain beige embellish baju kurung I have. hahah! now that's a miracle? Maybe because the floral embellish on the baju kurung is small and soft, so that's why I think it might work.

Shirt with star print - Reject Shop RM 60

 Then we head to this store called Reject Shop, the clothes there are very affordable and some can be very cool. I saw a lot of printed *mostly floral* smock top and I would love to get it but I thought I might buy too much and anyway  I already have a number of smocked top, so I chose to get this. This is more to casual for me, and I think it's a bit different of me because I never tried this print before. What I really love is that it's like raglan sleeve and with boxy or loose fit, definitely my favourite fit to be wear with skinny. I like it's dark so it definitely will look great with my oatmeal beige skinny.

So that's all, again wish you guys  Selamat Hari Raya.
I might tweets my ootd at times *I should have done a lookbook, but I lost that chance now.* I hope you guys keep follow my updates and follow my twitter. :)

Seoul Trip Haul

I finally got the time to post this, this time it's not the writing take slows me but transferring of pictures... I was just lazy to get the wire and transferring the picture, bluetooth all 400+ pics from the trip.... haihhhh lagilah. 

And it's Ramadhan, so I wasn't really blogging actively as well there's some stuff that need my attention.

So apologies to my blog!haha!

So again I want to keep this simple, I got some other post to publish but I thought I started with this.

The Seoul Trip I had in July was really really a BLASTT!! IT was eleven of us, 12 days in  Seoul, total chaos, hahaha! It feel a bit unfortunate that I don't get to go to other places in S. Korea like Jeju but seriously nevermind that. Not visiting other places might mean  I would visit South Korea again. There were a lot of adventure and I surely want to share it here though I really want to finish previous summer trip post, but it will happen. 

That's kind of like an intro of the trip and here's the haul!

Seoul HAUL!! - 

So other than albums I definitely aims to spree on skincare and cosmetics. The thing is, I'm kind of a 'generous' traveler, I'm definitely not too thrifty for pocket money when travelling. I would spent on food; meals and snacks, I definitely not the type who eat just bread for dinner to save money. This result that my shopping budget is not as much.
I do admit that there's some of thing I would like to buy but didn't get to, like YG Family latest Concert DVD, but I got 2NE1 Nolza Concert DVD. Other albums I got BIG BANG Still Alive (Big Bang version) *ergghhhh I should have gotten the TOP's version* and 2PM Hands Up *they didn't have the concert '-.-* and at the last minute I just pickup Big Bang Alive as well, first it's the packaging, which is really damnnnn! And I thought of getting TOP's version and they sold out? '-.- since the price is not that pressing I just pick up GD's version, hahaha! some part of me do think of getting other albums, but I still end up paying for that! I was also looking for Brown Eyed Girls but they don't have it... haihhhh... the sad story of buying albums...'-.- continue on

Note: I don't include some stuffs that I bought for other people

As you might know skincare market are BIG in Korea. In every area I went to I will see these stores; Tony Moly, Etude House, Missha, Nature's Republic *some of the popular stores, kind of high street* and many more. Even in the subways station!! And they close at 9 or 10 pm or even later, oh my god! Shopping paradise! You know I have been staying in the UK which stores close by 6pm, so shopping later at night did make me feel refreshed. And when we got there it's the summer sale, and at airports we got goodies bag that contain free generous sample of skincare even a premium line *dying of happiness* not to forget that when I shopped for cosmetics not only they were discounted but they also give out free stuff... these what they call "SERVICES" or "EVENT", cool!

The free samples I got including a 5 sheets of facemask (the green one) - Nature's Republic, Tony Moly

I have used some of free samples and I might come up with a post on like short review or first impression.

For skincare I was looking for something uniquely Korean *something of a big hype* and premium.

My eyes caught the PREMIUM SNAIL Intense Care from Tony Moly,

Yes,  it's snails! Before this, I had read about snail's secretion (mucin) skincare goodness, it's good for rejuvenation and it has healing properties, very good for acne prone or post acne prone *like me*. In Korea snail skincare was the hype a while back. Most brands have their own snail skincare range, but I decide to get this because it's discounted. 

So from the Tony Moly Intense Care Snail I got the:-

• Snail Cream (45ml) which include a sample of the Snail Eye Cream (15ml) in the box
• Snail Essence (35ml)  which include sample of the Snail Skin (20ml) which a toner and Snail Lotion (20ml) in the box. 
• Snail Foam Cleanser - FREE full size package. OH MY GOD!

 I love them! Like I said before these are premium skincare, so it's quite pricey. I thought getting the mask but it's sold together with the ampule which are too pricey for my budget.

• 

  Picture below, from left: *Tony Moly Intense Care Snail* Foam Cleanser (free), ** Essence ( 38,000 won),
  **Cream (35,000+ won? can't really remember),  Tony Moly Floria Berry Anti-Wrinkle Sleeping Pack (15,000 won? Can't remember as well)

• 
  
• 
  

 

• Tony Moly Floria Berry Anti-wrinkle Sleeping Pack. 

Sleeping pack/mask, again, very popular in Korea. This is suppose to be put on after all your night skincare, you sleep with it and wake up with healthy great skin. For this range, there's another one for whitening which I want to get first but this had more discount, hahah! Not that expensive and the discount reduced it's price a lot. It contains blueberry flower, and no I don't recall this ingredient before, but I trust Koreans, hahah! 

I haven't use these stuff yet, will do soon probably when I'm back in Belfast. 

Next skincare products that are popular there are face mask in sheets, ok they have these around the world but not as many and as popular as in South Korea that even guys regularly use them. They have many affordable and cheaper version, but they are still very good.

Now, I just realize that I only bought snail related mask, I'm not sure what was I thinking, but I just didn't get to buy other type of mask.

• Nature Republic Snail Therapy 1000 Hydrogel mask sheets 5s
• Nature Republic Snaytox Anti-Wrinkle Hydrogel mask 5s
• Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Combination watery mask 5s (FREE)

 Snail Therapy and Snaytox mask are the most expensive mask sheet I found there with price at almost 5,000 won per sheets, so these mask almost cost 50,000 won.

• Tony Moly Natural Pulp Essence Sheet Mask in Snail  10s, price at 10,000 *I should have gotten other type too... oh man*

From Left: Nature Republic Snail Therapy 1000 Hydrogel Mask sheet, Nature's Republic Snaytox Anti-Wrinkle Hydrogel Mask, Tony Moly Nature Pulp Essence Sheet Mask Snail.

From the skincare shopping experience I had in Seoul, I just had to say that most of the staff does not speak English, but usually they do have one or two staffs that speaks English especially in popular area like Myeongdong. Some of them are really good and explain well and convincing, some are good enough to be helpful. Now with that, foreigners definitely have no problems getting explanation on the products and some product have English explanation but you might get a bit iritated due to the ridiculous error *ko-nglish*. I wonder how would it be shopping at French pharmacy...

Ok now on makeup. As you can see, I don't buy much. I think because uniquely Korean makeup style is not really my style and I'm not really into looking like typical Korean stars which they usually go for natural simple look and lot of eyeliner.Only a few Korean celebrities manage to amaze me, usually singer like Lee Hyori since singer they experiment with look. Korean actress? Drama and film? Not really. So again, I look for something popular among Koreans and suit my style as well and I got these three items.

From Left: Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++ in No.23 Natural  Beige (25,000+ won), Tony Moly Crystal Light Pink Beam (less than 10,000 won), Tony Moly Tony Tint Red Apple (less than 10,000 won)

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++ in No.23 Natural  Beige 

BB creams are the mother of base makeup in of the Koreans. There, believe me even each brand can carry up to 10  type of BB cream and then we got varieties of brands, so IT IS A LOT of variety to choose from. However, thank god that I am dark tanned not many will actually suit me. I don't think there's any that matches me exactly and I had my experience with BB cream which I decide it's not really my style, but since this is popular in Korea I had to get one no matter what.

• Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in No.23

It is one of the most popular BB cream *internationally*, there's tons of reviews on the internet, and what make's it really really popular is that it's coverage is really good and that it matches darker skintone better. This was the first BB cream I always wanted to try, but I just didn't get the chance. After a while I just didn't bother.

I already used this and it's actually quite good, and the coverage is interesting. It's not about how much it covering, but how the covering feels *does that make sense?*. I would simply said it covers unlike how full coverage foundation  do, which is better... I'll explain more in a deeper review in the future. Other than that, I also like that it is not only SPF 42 but also PA+++.

Left: Tony Moly Crystal Light Pink Beam, Tony Moly Tony Tint in Red Apple.

 Another staple in Koreans makeup that suite my style is liquid HIGHLIGHTER or they call it "pearl". Koreans usually go for that overall glow by mixing into their base*BB creams usually* and add more of this on high points of the face. I never had liquid highlighter before but I tried cream type like MAC Cream Colour Base in Pearl. 

•  Tony Moly Crystal Light Pink Beam

At first I bought this for my sister because I don't like the colour being pink, I prefer it in champagne or gold tones *warmer tone* but they don't have that. But since I'm quit an avid highlighter user, I end up putting it on. And it's actually look decent. It definitely does not show up as pink, and it applied almost sheer. At first I thought it's quite shimmery and glittery but it does not seem that way when I put on, it give a nice sheen 'glowy' effect. I'm impressed with it for now. At one look, it's actually a dupe for Benefits High Beam. It is I think, but I think it might be better than Benefit. I tried swatching on Benefits Sun Beam before, and it's surprisingly very shimmery unlike what I see in review by vlog, so I reckon High Beam might be same... hmmm.

• Tony Moly Tony Tint in RED APPLE

When I beginning to wear makeup I do like the stained or tinted look, natural pink/red lips but not so anymore since now I'm so into deep and bright lip colour. However, my friends on the trip was making a fuss on lip tint and I thought I check it out.  Again, there are  a lot of varieties and definitely very popular and I would say uniquely Koreans. There's shiny type, pale pink, bright pink even orange... If you think Korean celebrities are baring their lips naked and got a healthy pink colour, think again. They are 98% probably wearing lip tint. 
What actually make me purchase this, is the shade, Red Apple. I swatched it on, and it's really a decent colour that really suit my style. It can be deep red, not pink *though you can stained it to light* and it's matte. It stained lips so it should stay on longer. However, it is quite a mess to get it stained my lips and for now, I think it's just an ok product. It's totally fine since it's cheap

As I was visiting places and others I always notice they sell compact mirror. There's lot of beautiful and elegant  design and by the end of trip I decide buy one. I got mine from Insadong and it's 10,000 won I think. I like it that it's white with slight iridescent  and design is pretty, got a bit of hangul, definitely a sweet token from Korea. Plus I want to touch-up my lipstick, I don't have to take out my compact powder which is convenient

Non-cosmetics/fashion Items : Mirror, slingbag, necklace, bracelets

In the trip, I do want to get a bag, but I don't know, probably I didn't set up a budget so I was not sure what bag to get and I already set my eyes for a certain bag of certain brand and by then I have spent most of my money for skincare. 

However, I manage to get this one very  lovely and very inexpensive bag. I first saw one in green at Myeondong and thought I will get it when I go to Myeondung for serious shopping. But when I went there again, the green is gone!! argghhh... So there were only black and orange and I choose orange so it is more interesting. Anyway, since it's cheap I would experiment with bolder colour.

Orange Slingbag - 10,000 won

Although it's cheap and well, synthetic materials *you know how much I like my leather*, to me it looks expensive. It's simple, no brand attached, I hate those imitation brand stamp... The design is nice and the leopard print definitely interest me and it's quite boxy, long strap/handle and bright coloured, totally Korean style. hahah!

Necklace 9,000 won, blue beads bracelet 3,000 won, leather band bracelet 8,000 won

I bought old gold necklace and blue orange bracelet at Hongdae.
It's actually intresting to shop at Hongdae as well, the small boutiques and standup stall. Probably because that Hongdae is the place for artist etc, there are actually a lot of cool interesting design in for fashion items, though it's not always cheap. I like the necklace being old gold, the wing is of decent size and there's a 'touch' of leather and makes it a bit interesting and it's actually look simple.
Now the bead bracelet! I totally love it! I've been wearing it a lot a lot since I got it, the colour is really nice the patches of blue and orange in beads makes it's stood out on my wrist. I should have got more, arghhhh... but that time it was quite early in the trip so I was a bit careful when purchasing stuff.

Then I got thin leather bracelet at Dongdaemun, it's quite pricey, but the cheaper alternatives didn't look as good as this one. I actually wanted to try to the spiky one, you see them quite popular these days but after a lot of thinking, I forgo it. I thought if I want to get spiky bracelet, it's popular now, so I can get it elsewhere. So I end up buying this since again it looks elegant, simple, I definitely will wear it piled on *if I want to style up to the max* . I like the golden clip and I did have a hard time choosing the colour but I guess you can never go wrong with tanned leather.

I just realize that I didn't take individual pictures of the scarf I got there as well, it was from Insadong, 4,000 won per piece, which is quite cheap. I bought two *again, should have gotten another one*, one with large blue floral print, and one with small red flowers, you can see it on the first picture above.  And probably in the future I put up OOTDs with the scarf.

So I hope you guys enjoy this haul and hopefully this post give a peek into what you guys getting while shopping in Seoul, South Korea.
