Korea shopping – Hellou! TĂ€ssĂ€ Korean reissujen ostossaalis! Oon siis ollut Koreassa nyt pariin otteeseen parin viikon sisĂ€llĂ€ ja niinkuin aikaisemminkin mainitsin, kosmetiikkaa oli ostoslistalla. EnsimmĂ€isen kuvan tuotteet ostin nyt viimeisimmĂ€llĂ€ reissulla ja nuo meikkituotteet sillĂ€ edellisellĂ€ reissulla. Ekalla kerralla sain kasan nĂ€ytteitĂ€ mukaan, joten tiesin mitĂ€ menen seuraavalla kerralla ostamaan.

Tuo viimeisen kuvan vihertÀvÀ puteli on meikki primeri, jonka vihreÀ sÀvy taittaa ihon punaisuutta pois. Se antaa myös ihanan hehkun iholle, joten kuivempikin iho nÀyttÀÀ kuulaalta. EdellisellÀ reissulla halusin ostaa myös huultenrajauskynÀn, koska mulla ei vielÀ ollut oikein kunnon punaista rajauskynÀÀ. Kaupassa oli tarjous, jolla sai toisen kynÀn puoleen hintaan, niin otin sitten kaksi! Primeri maksoi muistaakseni alle kympin ja huultenrajauskynÀt yhteensÀ noin viisi euroa.

Sain viime reissulla nĂ€ytteen tuollaisesta etananaamiosta ja se oli niin ihana, ettĂ€ ostin niitĂ€ nyt lisÀÀ. Yks menee Ă€itille 🙂 Naamiot oli muuhun hintatasoon nĂ€hden aika arvokkaita, noin 4-5 euroa kappale, mutta tiesin niiden olevan toimivia tuotteita, joten ostin silti. Ostin myös tuon pyöreĂ€ssĂ€ purkissa olevan aloe vera-geelin, josta myös sain edellisellĂ€ kerralla nĂ€ytteen. SiinĂ€ sanotaan, ettĂ€ sitĂ€ voi kĂ€yttÀÀ sekĂ€ iholle ettĂ€ hiuksiin, joten heti hotellilla kokeilin sitĂ€ naamion tapaisesti hiuksiin ja pÀÀnahkaan. Ihanasti viilensi herkĂ€sti kutiavaa pÀÀnahkaa! LisĂ€ksi ostin tuon tuubissa olevan aloe vera sleeping packing. Varmaan samaa tavaraa kuin tuo toinenkin aloe vera geeli, same same but different, you know. Se on siis naamio, joka laitetaan yöksi kasvoille ja aamulla huuhdellaan vedellĂ€ pois. Ajattelin alkaa kĂ€yttÀÀn tuota aina kaukolentojen jĂ€lkeen, pitkillĂ€ lennoilla kun iho tahtoo kuivua.

Menolennolla sain haavan sormeeni ja aloin sitomaan haavaa ihan maalarinteipillĂ€. Korealainen kollega nĂ€ki tĂ€mĂ€n ja juoksi saman tien laukulleen ja antoi mulle sellaisen kirkkaan pienen tarran, jonka se liimas haavan pÀÀlle. Sitten se antoi mulle paketin, jossa oli vielĂ€ pari tarraa jĂ€ljellĂ€ ja kĂ€ski mennĂ€ paketin kanssa kauppaan ja pyytÀÀ samanlaisia. Tarrat sopii siis kuulemma finnien tai arpien hoitoon, mutta myös pienille haavoille. MinĂ€hĂ€n sitten kuuliaisena tyttönĂ€ menin ostamaan noita tarroja. Nature Republicin myyjĂ€ vĂ€itti, ettĂ€ heidĂ€n tuote ajaa saman asian, kuin se mun mallituotekin, joten uskoin myyjÀÀ ja ostin 😀

Nuo pikku putelit ja pussit on nÀytteitÀ taas uusista tuotteista. Ens kuulle ei oo Koreaa tiedossa, niin ainakin hetkeksi nyt riittÀÀ kosmetiikkashoppailut!

Korea shopping – Hello! Here are the things I bought from Korea! I have been to Korea twice now in a few weeks and like I mentioned before, I shopped some cosmetics. The products in the first picture I bought on my last trip and those make-up products I bought from the previous trip. On the previous trip I got a lot of samples with me, so the next time I knew what I was going to buy.

The greenish bottle in the last picture is a make-up primer. It is lightly green, so it takes away the redness of the skin. It also gives a lovely glow to the skin, so even a dry skin looks nice and bright. On my last trip I also wanted to buy a lip liner, because I still didn’t have a bright red liner. They had an offer that the second pen was half price, so I took two. The primer cost less that ten euros, if I remember correctly and the lip liners were around five euros together.

On my last trip I got a sample of a snail mask and it was so good that this time I bought more of them. One of those is going to my mom 🙂 The masks were quite pricey compared to the other products, around 4-5 euros each, but I knew they were good, so I bought them anyway. I also bought the aloe vera gel in the round package, which I also got a sample of the last time. It says it can be used on the skin and hair, so I already tested it like a mask on my hair and scalp at the hotel. My scalp gets itchy easily, so the gel cooled it down nicely! I bought that tube of aloe vera sleeping pack as well. I suppose it is pretty much the same stuff as the other aloe vera gel, same same but different, you know. It is a mask, that is put on the face for the night and then rinsed away with water in the morning. I’m planning on using this always after a long-haul flight, since the skin get easily dry on the long flights.

On the flight to Korea I got a little wound on my finger and I started to fix the wound with painter’s tape. A Korean colleague saw this and ran to her bag and gave me this clear, small sticker to put on the wound. Then she gave me the package with a couple of stickers left and told me to go to a shop with the package and ask them to give me similar. The stickers are supposed to heal pimples, scars and also small wounds. I obeyed her order and went to buy the stickers. The sales person at Nature Republic told me that their product does the same as my sample, so I believed her and bought their product 😀

Those small bottles and bags are samples of new products again. Next month I’m not going to Korea, so no cosmetics shopping for a while now!

Back in Korea

annimarian Back in KoreaBack in Korea – TerveisiĂ€ Koreasta! TÀÀllĂ€ sitĂ€ taas ollaan. Kello on vĂ€hĂ€n yli yhdeksĂ€n illalla paikallista aikaa ja mua vĂ€syttÀÀ ihan hirveĂ€sti. Tultiin aamulla hotellille ja nukuin kyllĂ€ sillon ihan kivasti, mutta jostain syystĂ€ taas vĂ€syttÀÀ. Mulla on ollut vĂ€hĂ€n flunssainen olo pari pĂ€ivÀÀ, joten ehkĂ€ se on syy vĂ€symykselle.

Unien jĂ€lkeen kĂ€vin tuossa lĂ€heisessĂ€ marketissa taas ostoksilla, niinkuin viime verrallakin. Ostin ruokaa, kuten kuvasta nĂ€kyy 😀 Pari noita kahvipakkauksia on menossa yhdelle Awsin kaverille, joka kerran pyysi mua tuomaan yhtĂ€ kahvia maailmalta, jos satun löytĂ€mÀÀn. En oo vielĂ€ missÀÀn nĂ€hny kyseistĂ€ kahvia, mutta tuo hasselpĂ€hkinĂ€ cappucino on aika lĂ€hellĂ€ sitĂ€. En malttanut olla ostamatta noita kuvan alareunassa nĂ€kyviĂ€ snackeja, kun niiden sanotaan olevan perinteisiĂ€ korealaisia snackeja ja ne maksoi alle euron kappale. Maistoin jo toisia ja ei kyllĂ€ voi kovin kummoiseksi makuelĂ€mykseksi sanoa…

Olin ihan liian vĂ€synyt lĂ€htemÀÀn etsiin mitÀÀn ravintolaa, joten mun illallinen oli kuvassa nĂ€kyvĂ€t “jutut”. TietÀÀkö joku, miksi noita sanotaan? Nyt taidan vaan venytellĂ€ vĂ€hĂ€n aikaa ja mennĂ€ sitten suihkun kautta nukkumaan. Kivaa tiistai-iltaa! 🙂

Back in Korea – Greetings from Korea! Here I am again. It is a little bit over 9 pm the local time and I am super tired. We arrived to the hotel in the morning and and I slept quite well then, but now I feel tired again. I have been feeling a little bit sick for a couple of days, so maybe that’s the reason for my tiredness.

After my sleep I went to the market nearby to do my shopping, like last time. I bought food, as you can see in the picture 😀 A couple of those coffee boxes are going to Aws’s friend, who once asked me to bring this one specific coffee if I see it somewhere around the world. I still didn’t see that coffee anywhere, but that hazelnut cappucino is very similar. I had to also try those snacks you see in the bottom of the picture, because it says they are traditional Korean snacks and they were less than one euro. I already tasted the other ones and I have to admit, it wasn’t too good…

I was way too tired to go and look for a restaurant, so my dinner was those “things” in the picture. Anyone knows what they are called? Now I think I will stretch for a moment and then take a shower and hop in bed. Have a great Tuesday night! 🙂

Home from Korea

annimarian Home from Korea

annimarian Home from KoreaHome from Korea – Heippa! Koreasta on kotiuduttu! Oli kivan rauhallinen reissu ja lennot oli aika leppoisia. Ja korealaiset kollegat oli supermukavia! Kyselin niiltĂ€ kovasti vinkkejĂ€ hyvistĂ€ kosmetiikkamerkeistĂ€ ja tuotteista, koska korealaiset taitaa olla -jos ei maailman parhaita, niin ainakin kĂ€rkikastia, mitĂ€ kosmetiikkaan tulee. Paluulennolla sain kollegalta oikein listan parhaista merkeistĂ€. Ens reissulla pitÀÀ sitten perehtyĂ€ paremmin!

Ostin meikin alla kĂ€ytettĂ€vĂ€n vihreĂ€n sĂ€vyisen primerin, jonka pitĂ€is neutraloida punaista vĂ€riĂ€ iholta. Merkki on Nature Republic. Samalla sain vaikka kuinka monta erilaista nĂ€ytettĂ€ eri tuotteista. Kokeilin heti hotellilla kasvonaamiota, jossa on jotain etana-uutetta. En ehkĂ€ halua tarkemmin tietÀÀ, miten se liittyy etanoihin, mutta iho tuntui ihanan kimmoisalta naamion jĂ€lkeen! Oon menossa parin viikon pÀÀstĂ€ uudellen Koreaan, niin pitÀÀ ihan ostaa noita naamioita. EtukĂ€teen tiesin, ettĂ€ Koreassa myydÀÀn suorastaan legendaarista etanavoidetta. Kysyin voiteesta korealaiselta kollegalta, joka totesi vain, ettĂ€ “Honey, you’re too young for that”, joten jĂ€tin sen vielĂ€ ostamatta 🙂

Oli muuten suorastaan huvittavaa, kun puhuttiin korealaisten kanssa Pohjois-Korean tilanteessa. Suomessakin uutisoidaan jatkuvasti, mitĂ€ siellĂ€ Korean niemimaalla oikein tapahtuu ja kyllĂ€ sitĂ€ aina vĂ€hĂ€n tulee miettineeksi, varsinkin kun juuri sinne pitÀÀ lentÀÀ. Itsekin mietin ennen lentoa, ettĂ€ voishan sitĂ€ tietenkin jonnekin muuallekin pĂ€in maailmaa mieluummin lentÀÀ… Sitten kollegat kertoi, ettĂ€ ne  on niin tottuneita kaikkeen tuohon uutisointiin, ettĂ€ ne ei edes vĂ€litĂ€ enÀÀ koko jutusta. Niitten juttuja kuunneltua tuli itsellekin vĂ€hĂ€n rauhallisempi mieli 😀

Nyt mulla on sitten muutama vapaa. Toivotaan, ettĂ€ on lĂ€mmintĂ€! Postauksen kuvat on otettu ennen reissua, kun oli lĂ€mmintĂ€ ja aurinkoista. Jospa sama sÀÀ nyt jatkuis! Kivaa viikkon alkua 🙂

Home from Korea – Hello! I’m back home from Korea now. It was nice and cool trip and the flights were pretty easy. And the Korean colleagues were super nice! I asked them a lot for tips about some beauty products and brands, because the Koreans are – if not the best then among the best, when it comes to cosmetics. On the flight back home I even got a list of good brands from a Korean colleague. Next time there I have to do some research!

This time I bought a make up primer, that has a green tint to neutralize a red skin tone. The brand is Nature Republic. I also got a bunch of free samples of different products. At the hotel I tested this face mask with some snail extract. I don’t want to know the details of that snail extract, but my skin felt so firm and nice after the mask! I will go to Korea again in a couple of weeks, so I will buy those masks. Beforehand I knew that Korea is famous for some snail cream that is like legendary thing. I asked my Korean colleague about it and she just said “Honey, you are too young for that” so I didn’t buy it 🙂

It was almost funny when we spoke about the situation of the North-Korea with the Korean colleagues. In Finland it is in the news all the time what is happening there and I do think about it sometimes, especially if I have to fly there. I mean, there are other parts of the planet where I might rather fly than close to North-Korea. Then the colleagues told us that they are sooo used to all of that, that they don’t even think about it. That calmed my mind a lot 😀

Now I will have a few days off. Let’s hope the weather will be nice! The pictures of this post were taken before the trip. Let’s hope the weather stays good! Have a good beginning of the week! 🙂

European mornings

annimarian European mornings

annimarian European morningsEuropean mornings – Hei! Ihanaa viikonloppua! MÀÀ tÀÀllĂ€ Koreassa kirjottelen. Suomessa taitaa olla aika ihana sÀÀ just nyt, en viitsi eden kattoa sÀÀennustetta ettei tuu enÀÀ pahempi mieli. Mulle kyllĂ€ aina sattuu töitĂ€ just sillon kun olis lĂ€mmintĂ€… Mutta en valita! Olin toivonutkin Korean lentoja ja sellaisia sain kaksi tĂ€lle kuulle. PitÀÀkin muuten postata elokuun lista! EihĂ€n vielĂ€ olla edes puolivĂ€lissĂ€ kuuta 😀

Ennen tÀtÀ reissua mulla oli aamuputki Eurooppaa. Aloin kolmannen pÀivÀn jÀlkeen miettiÀ, ettÀ miten tuntuukin ettei ehdi tehdÀ yhtÀÀn mitÀÀn noina pÀivinÀ. Sitten katoin listaa vÀhÀn tarkemmin ja hoksasin, ettÀ mulla oli joka töitÀ kymmenen tunnin molemmin puolin. Ei ihmekÀÀn! Olin aikamoisen vÀsynyt tuon putken jÀlkeen. Aikaiset aamut ja pitkÀt pÀivÀt vie mehut!

Lensin myös pitkÀstÀ aikaa Espanjaan, Mallorcalle tÀllÀ kertaa. Niin harmi, ettei me yövytÀ missÀÀn Espanjan kohteissa. Ehdin kuitenkin kÀydÀ ÀkkiÀ lentokentÀllÀ ostaan lehtiÀ. En malttanu olla ostamatta useampaa, kun ne oli niin halpoja. Suomesta saisi ehkÀ yhden espanjankielisen lehden samaan hintaan kuin nuo neljÀ yhteensÀ!

Ootteko muuten huomanneet, ettĂ€ blogin sivupalkissa on kohta, mistĂ€ voi tilata tĂ€mĂ€n blogin. Laittamalla sĂ€hköpostin tuohon kenttÀÀn saat aina ilmoituksen uudesta postauksesta. SiitĂ€ vaan tilailemaan mikĂ€li mun jutut kiinnostaa 🙂

European mornings – Hello! Here I am in Korea writing this post. I suppose it is a lovely weather in Finland now. I don’t even want to check, I’ll just get annoyed. It always happens that when I’m away, the weather gets beautiful. I’m not complaining though! I had asked for Korean flights and I got two for this month. I should post the august roster by the way. It’s not even half way through the month 😀

Before this trip I had four European mornings in a row. On the third day I started wondering why do I feel like I don’t have time for anything else. Then I looked to my list again and noticed that all my days were around ten hours. No wonder I felt busy! I was so tired after those four days. Long days and early mornings are a killing combo.

I also flew to Spain after a while, to Mallorca this time. It is such a shame we don’t stay overnight in any of our Spanish destinations. At least I had time to run and buy some magazines from the airport. I couldn’t control myself and I bought four, because they are so cheap there. One Spanish magazine in Finland would cost more than those four together!
