I wouldn't bother with the velcro hair thingies, they don't hold back my fringe I do have thick hair but they're a bit pants.

Right, no velcro thingys, thanks Angela...cat ears it is

I've just caught dp tootling off for a shower with my Missha face wash & snail gel for after

I forgot - micellar water, first or second cleanse? I'm using up stuff that hasn't wowed me while I wait for my new oil & the Garnier one is next in the queue.

Ms. W. Fairy, your parcel is on the way

Ah, thank you Lucysmam!!

The Joseon cream has a lovely texture, I think so anyway. It feels fairly rich but not in a very heavy way. It goes on nicely and sinks in reasonably quickly. No issues with using Biore over the top a minute or so later. I have fairly dry skin and I do think I will be repurchasing!

Well, the Banilla might not be for me but the little pot is just the right size for taking ten sets of googly eyes to rainbows tomorrow out of my own stash of randomness so none get lost

I use micellar water as a second cleanse.

I haven't done a sheet mask in ages, must remember to take them out of the fridge I'm not keen on the cold now it's getting chilly.

I took my masks out of the fridge a few days ago -it's rather warm here tonight .

Rainbows was cancelled as our other leader's street flooded & she couldn't get out so plan to sheet mask and foot peel while planning the last 2 weeks before half term.

I know most of are concentrating on out facial skin care ... But I took a bold step and ordered the tony Moly Pure Eco snail Moisture gel ( 300ml ) as a body moisture , have to say that I love love love it , keeps me hydrated from night to the next night after slathering it on my body I dab a bit on my face too and it's really upped the moisture level on my face and body .

So sorry for the spelling mistakes pardon me on bus en route to work

Hello, CornwallsFinest here with a name change. Haven't been in here for aaages, hope all is well.

Still doing an AB routine. I recently attended a wedding as a bridesmaid and I took my pack of sheet masks - had the bride and other bridesmaids wearing one the night before the wedding!

Needed to replace cleanser so ordered the Innisfree volcanic pore cleansing foam around 6 weeks ago but we moved house 2 weeks ago so I think the parcel is lost forever I've found a UK based seller, LunaTU, has anyone ordered from them? I'm dangerously low on cleanser so need emergency delivery but in a panic I ordered Nip & Fab glycolic cleanser - any experiences?

Still not found the HG for cystic, hormonal spots. I've ordered some Stridex pads as I've seen people on here say how good the clearasil ones are. I don't rate clearasil for my skin so hoping the stridex helps.

Still love the mizon white sleeping mask, snail gel and HadaLabo hyaluronic acid serum.

Also, I do seem to suffer with closed comedrones, will the Stridex help with those or do I need to use something more specific? I was using the CosRX whitening power but I lost it when I went to London for a weekend I wasn't using it long enough to notice a difference though.

KLAXON! My Beautynetkorea package has arrived this morning at Lobdon Heathrow where it'll sit for two further weeks awaiting to becreleased by customs

London even!

My rice ceramide cream arrived this morning. Smells quite strongly but that disappears fast & it sinks in quickly from the little bit I put on the back of my hand. I'll try it properly tonight.

Hopefully I can stop using the Simple one I bought in the meantime, not overly keen on the more greasy texture of that one.

Dd2's requested pink house handcream arrived too...I have left it in it's box for her to open. She'll be thrilled

The micellar water is the first cleanse lucysmam, at least according to Caroline Hirons and that's how I've always used it.

Can anyone recommend their favourite serums for me? I've tried the Mizon snail, the benton snail bee and the Missha time revolution borobit but none of them have wowed me. Am looking to order a new one soon! I've got oily/dehydrated skin if that helps.

XiCi, have you looked at the serums that Snow White and the Asian Pear recommends? She has oily dehydrated skin.
I have the same skin type and I'm currently loving Sulwhasoo Snowise serum.

Thanks plasticbanana. Will have a look now

xi I have the same skim type and currently using the missha time revolution borabit ampoule which I like - I bought a 20 samples to try before I buy.

In other news I swear that my fine lines/crows feet are diminishing - hurrah! Have been ab-ing for about 5 mths and stuck to mostly the same products so not able to pinpoint exactly what's making the difference.
Also avoided any hormonal spots this month which is definitely Good News :o

My roseroseshop haul has arrived! So excited. Will report back as i try things...

Have just done a late night EBay shop, skin food black sugar oil because I'm fed up with the clean it zero leaving big smudges of mascara (and I have a huge tub to use up). Also a Missha powder compact, I'm thinking of not bothering with bb or foundation but I'm oily so I need something I can bung in my bag, not a loose powder.

Hello Korean beauty experts. My brother is about to have a long stopover at incheon airport and if I send him photos he goes into the pharmacies and gets my goodies. Last time I got him to get me a load of sheet masks and a cleansing oil and he did good! I've only just stumbled on this thread and its long! Any top five suggestions? Interested in a cushion foundation - I'm super fair skinned and fairly dry too so good brand suggestions appreciated. Sorry this is a bit lazy but he flies tomorrow and I don't want to miss the window

What shops do they have or is it just racks of stuff?

I have the missha m cushion compact which I love. They do one which is for a more dewy finish which would be good for drier skin. It's called missha magic m moisture. Try shade 21 if you're v pale - I wear 23 - I'm a pale Olive. Iope are supposed to have a good cushion too.

xi just read that you'd tried the time revolution and didn't like it - sorry was on crap phone and must have misread your post
