Travelling Extravaganza - Seoul

This is, I believe to be the last travelling extravaganza I'd have until a few good months before I'll get to travel again *cross fingers*.

Though my eye was still under recovery then, I applied nail lacquers for the trip for vanity's sake and also to console myself not to keep thinking of my condition. With that, I took Color Club's Otherworldly from my nail lacquer stash & applied them onto my nails.


Seriously, I've bought it more than 3 months ago but I had no idea why I did not use it till now. Perhaps I was hoping the blue and the glitter will elevate my mood somehow. Nonetheless, the application for Otherworldly is very smooth and I only used 2 coats for this.

Being one who love Seoul, this trip wasn't very enjoyable to me due to one and annoying reason - my eye. As mentioned in my previous blog post 'Eye Infection Gone Bad', my eye's condition had gone terribly bad during my trip there. I was really thankful to my partners in Seoul who took such good care of me & even offered to bring me to an eye specialist just to get my eye checked. Without them, I'd have freaked out in a foreign land!

话说回来...although I did not truly enjoy my trip (physically), I did manage to do some retail therapy there, heh. My shopping desire in Seoul was pretty objective - Hair accessories, anti-dust caps if any and foot masks (since I'm allergic to most korean skincare products). My most extensive loot? Definitely the iPhone anti-dust caps and hair accessories! I basically had a serious overhaul on these 2!

iPhone anti-dust caps!
Some are giveaways, some for self-keeping of cos!
Hair accessories overhaul!
Some on the right were for my girl, the rest...MINE!
Honestly, I bought more than those...but somehow, due to my eye, I wasn't in the best of mood to take a lot of pictures and thus, these 2 were the only ones I took when I was in Seoul. When I came back from Seoul, I was literally focused on seeking a cure for my eye and didn't think of taking any other loot I've brought back from Seoul anymore. Am truly sorry I couldn't share the joy of Seoul's shopping haul for this time.

Let me get my eye fully recovered and I'm sure I'll be able to tune my mood back to normal & blog with more energy again!

Concealer Overkill Haul

Did an overkill haul on The Body Shop's Tea Tree Concealer just cos they offered me a 30% discount on total purchase when my membership had expired just days before.



Well, what to do when their concealers really do the magic of concealing the spots on my face? :D
To see the effect, you can read on my earlier post on the review the Apothéke's colour corrector.

Looks like these amount of restock can last me for a few months, hehe!

Remedy for my battered soles...

I have no freaking idea why my soles were SOOO dry recently till the point they cracked, leaving me with pain. Not only that, it made me so difficult to walk with cracked soles & I literally got to limp (at some point) when the pain just got too much for me.

Thinking that my feet need some moisture, I decided to invest on a foot moisturizer. After some shopping, I ended up buying a foot moisturizer from The Body Shop - Honey & Beeswax Hand and Foot Butter.
 
 

 The container's really secured, so secured to the point I was pretty afraid to open it cos it can somehow damage my manicure, LOL! However, I bought this for the sake of my battered soles, and so, I gotta use it no matter what!


Just like it's name, it looks like butter alright. It does feel creamy to the touch & smells nice too. Upon applying it onto my soles, I feel moisturized indeed. Till date, I've used it for like 2 weeks & I can see my soles getting better. And no, I'm not gonna post the picture of my batter soles cos they look too damn hideous for me to even post it up here. Hopefully, this little remedy can bring my battered soles to life soon enough~~~~~ *cross fingers*
