Innisfree Haul – Straight from Korea!

I had mentioned sometime ago that the only Korean brand that I’m interested in (as of now) is Innisfree. The brand is simple, low profile with its natural ingredients and green approach. It has a lot of charm but doesn’t have that fancy-schmancy, full of gimmick-thing going on.

When my cousin told me about her plans visiting Korea and her, being so kind had offered if I wanted something from there, naturally, I said “Innisfree!”

I set up a list and she managed to get them all 😀

THREE Cosmetics, A Total Charm!

Well, well, well. Whaddya know, Indonesia, Jakarta specifically, is making some more improvements by adding two numbers in the beauty brand portfolio. Those two are THREE and Illamasqua. In this post, I’ll be only covering the one that I’m most interested in, which is THREE.

Ever since I read this news, I’ve been anxiously waiting for the brand to launch. There’s a story, after I read that article, I went to Central the next day. And to my disappointment, the brand was nowhere to be found. What irked me the most was the fact that the Information people pointed me the direction and I ended up walking up and down trying to find the counter. After asking them again, finally they told me that the counter will be open by February/March 2015. Oh well.. So much for my excitement.

Anyway, that’s old story. What matters the most is that the brand is here. Are you ready? I know I am!

Welcome, Marc Jacobs Beauty!

It’s finally here!

Marc Jacobs Beauty finally arrives at Sephora Indonesia. It’s quite unexpected that it didn’t take that long for the brand to come here since it just launched on Sephora US on August 2013. As you might know, we usually get things late here in almost everything, or didn’t get any at all. There’s a good reason for that, Marc Jacobs Beauty is produced by the beauty mecca retailer. Logically, the brand naturally is one step ahead with a clearer, easier path in expanding to different countries.

I’m honored to be invited to the brand’s official launch last week. I got to understand a little bit better about the beauty line while having some hands-on experience with some of the offerings.

What’s Coming

Well, I’ve accumulated a few goodies lately so I will be reviewing them one at a time.

Obviously, someone’s got a problem…

I don’t like to rush when it comes to making reviews, especially when doing skincare. I like to really use them for quite a bit first, finding the nook and crannies of the formula, trying to fit them into the regime and see how they perform.

It’s mind-boggling really when I see a ‘review’ of a product from someone who’ve just used it for a day, or two. Nope, you will never see such here. OK, if I do, then it will be called a first impression 🙂

Of course, not every product that I got will always end up being reviewed. It will go into the bowl as I see fit. Watch out for nail art posts too, and food.

In the mean time, please do check out FemaleDaily.com for my previous writings.

Stay tuned!
