Weeks go fast

Hi everybody~

Only a little less than two weeks and I'll be in Korea :D
So my this week has been quite busy. On tuesday I went to Jumbo mall with Annina because I needed to buy some things. We also went to eat lunch to newly opened Tamarin restaurant. It was great, I'm fan of thai food :P They also had very nice deco although the restaurant seemend a bit too stuffed to be honest. Aisles were too narrow to walk because tables were so close to each others.

On wednesday I went to just to do little shopping with mom. She wanted flowers for easter time so we went to get tulips.

On friday I went to Helsinki to first color my hair in the morning, my haircolor had started to turn too light brown and gold/yellow... I seriously hate that kind of shade >_< after coloring it has stayed a bit gold :/ but I'm happy because it's lighter shade afterall.
After coloring I met with Linda and we picked up movie tickets to Divergent: Allegiant movie which we went to watch in the evening. But before going to movies we went to eat to this new ramyeon restaurant called Momotoko. They had late lunch 12€ which was excellent, I ordered Korean Kimchi pork donburi rice which was kind of close to kimchi fried rice. It was very good and I was seriously full after eating only half xD they have very filling, big portions :) Linda had chili tonkotsu pork ramyeon which looked delicious also~

This weekend I have just been chillin and planning more about my trip to korea. I like to plan at least some days beforehand so I won't miss for example some sights I absolutely wanna see.
I will leave already on friday but because time difference and long trip (about 10 hours flight) I'll arrive on saturday morning. I have my first weekend already booked; on arrival day I'll meet my bf and spend whole day with him. On second day (sunday) I will spend with Anniina enjoying Block B's concert :P

And Anniina promised to visit Everland with me either first or second tuesday :D I finally get to see it! I have visited Lotte World and ever since first trip to korea I wanted to see Everland amusement park. It's just that it's a bit outside of Seoul. But finally going to experience it :D

And other planned thing for second week is on 13th when I'm going to watch Mata Hari musical with Anniina. My favorite person from idol world ever aka VIXX Leo will be in it~ and also Shin Seung Rok will be in it who played the bad guy in "You who came from the stars" -drama which is my favorite drama ever. I can't wait to see the musical!!

Whole last week I have been addicted to watching korean cosmetics reviews of what people recommend to buy especially from korean bb cushions. It's funny that before I wasn't even caring much about cosmetics. Like up to 24 years I used only a little of powder and that's pretty much it. But somehow skincare and makeup products started to interest me last year and I'm watching those review videos like "omg, I have to try that" xD
I still like natural look though. I'm not a person who wants to look like I have ton of makeup on. And I prefer pastel colors like really light. I don't like to attract attention >_<
And I guess interest for skincare came along because my skin is veeeery sensitive and after using makeup I have to make sure my skin isn't irritated. I hate my atopic skin =_= I'm also interested in korean cosmetics because they have nourishing and moisturizing makeup products, those kind of products won't irritate my skin so often as some western makeup products. Although I know some korean brands that tend to have products that causes irritation.

Anyway now it's propably a convenient time to move to cosmetics review :P

Etude House Princess happy ending Snow White BB cream
Price: 15€ / $16
Where can I get it: propably on ebay. This was limited edition so it's mostly sold out

Even though this is mostly sold out I wanted to do a review. I bought a light beige tone (there were only 2 tones available). It was very suitable for my skintone, it blended well. I fell in love with the packaging, it's very cute and because I loooove cute stuff I was like I have to buy this :D
Texture was very flowy but when applying it, it left kind of cakey feeling. I used this like couple days and I was yelling "yes, finally an etude bb cream that doesn't cause anything to my skin." I was too early to be happy about it.. on third time I used this and washed it off at evening my skin from cheeks was very red and full of small pimples. I soooo liked the packaging and the tone but I can't use this because it irritates my skin =_= Lucky, I got my skin calmed with my evening skincare routine.
Would I buy this again: if I even have chance it's a no. It left me with red marks on my skin...
Score 2/5


That's all for this week~
Lastly, I want to recommend a great drama that I'm watching currently;
Descendants of the sun. It tells a story of a special force soldier and a doctor; how they meet and how their lives mingle in time of crisis. It's very well written and sucked me in starting from the very first episode~ It has actually caused a huge hype in korea and I don't wonder why anymore. Definetly check this out!

Seoul, I'm ready!

Hello everyone!

So my week started with ticket panic. I'm going to see Block B Blockbuster in Seoul on April 3rd with my friend Anniina (who's in Korea in exchange). And on last monday they released ticket sale for non-fanclub members. Not all concerts sell tickets in global site but lucky for me this one did have global site sale. (Korean companies have often domestic and international sites because on domestic sale they ask korean id and phone number).

I have bought from yes24 before and I thought this will go with no worries. I was wrong. At first I got very good seats and noticed seats are going fast. When I was ready for payment the site complained I have to install their payment plug for my computer. So when I did, poof, the seats what I got vanished. It closed my whole internet and I had to go to booking again and as you can guess, I lost the good seats. I got another seats from a little upper stand but then the payment program crashed... I was like seriously?! Now I lost good seats for second time. Third time when I went to booking, all first stand seatings had been sold out... so I had no choice but to take seats reaaaaally far from stage. But I was happy I even got one. So a tip for those buying from yes24; go to some show's booking and "reserve" seats and go to payment. It will suggest you to install that payment program. So that way you will get the program before the intended concert sales starts and you will not lose any seats like me because of that program installing.

Anyway, I got tickets so I was happy~ but then on tuesday evening when I was curious how many seats are left and went to check, for some reason they had released really good seats on sale! So I cancelled my previous ones and bought the ones with really good view~ So I'm happy and my friend's happy :P At least I'm going to see one concert while I'm in Korea. Last two times I was so frustrated when two artists that I listen held a concert just before I went there...

But yeah, going to see these boys:

On tuesday I went to lunch with my parents. It has been so long since I went out to eat with my parents. Mainly because it's quite expensive here in Finland. We went to one luncheon in near city, Kerava. It was upstairs of one car center so it's quite hard to find and I think only locals know it. We got to know about it from my aunt who lives in Kerava :P It was actually pretty good lunch, for only 8,70€ you got main dish, side dish, soup, sallad and coffee. And the sallad buffet OMG it was HUGE! I bet you could be full even from all that sallad lol.

On wednesday I went to Helsinki with Annina. First I had to visit verkkokauppa.com because I had bought Sony headphones which broke so I got them changed to new ones. There was still guarantee left, lucky for me. They were expensive headphones so I would have propably raged if I couldn't have gotten new replacement.

So after visiting there we went to lunch in Morrison's. I have to say you will find best steaks and hamburgers in town from there! I chose steak and it was soooo good! And filling! And I absolutely love their potato wedges.

After being totally full and satisfied we headed to cosmetic sales in Sokos.
They were having this "Kutsu kauneuteen" which roughly translated means "invite to beauty." I had previously looked through their brochure and knew exactly what I was looking for but it was also nice to browse and just look what new things different cosmetic brands are bringing to europe. And why I say to europe because those trends have been in asia for quite awhile. Like the new Lancome oily lipstick which has been trending in asia since last year.
Anyway, I found what I came for; Sensai concealer brush in shade 1 and Biotherm Aqua-Gelee ultra fresh body repleshiner body lotion. (what a long name lol). I will review these some time, I haven't opened the body lotion yet. I tested it in store though and it was soooo good like I fell in love instantly! It was gel like body lotion that spreaded amazingly well and dried up in minutes, even seconds.

After being hyped about what I bought we went to just looking what new Body Shop, L'occitane and Yves Rocher has to offer. From Body Shop I found this English rose series that I sooo wanted to try but I just had bought cosmetic products and I have the upcoming Korean trip (where I know I'll go crazy with cosmetics lol) so I restrained myself buying anything xD L'occitane mannerheimintie has by the way nice new store! They have renovated and it looks so inviting~

On thursday I got myself travel insurance, finally. But it has gotten so expensive, it used to be 46€ for one trip that lasts less than 3 weeks... now it's 51€.. turva has still the cheapest travel insurance though. I always have gotten it from them.

Now I'm ready for Korea. I just have to calculate my budget for first week (because I will be getting more money on my account first week wednesday or friday). So I have to calculate spending money for saturday to at least wednesday from what I have on my account now (and I tell it's not that much being unemployed and all).

I have been quite hype about Korea this week. I have been linking too much cosmetics things to Annina (sorry :P ). But in Korea they have too many new things I want to try, a few being peripera cushion blusher, skinfood cushion bottle and banila co cleansing zero.

Just chillin'

Hi everyone and sorry I haven't posted for awhile (or at least if feels like that for me lol).

I've had nice week. On sunday-monday night I was at Annina's place and we watched the Oscars. It was nice but because airing time was between 2am to 7am I was a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit tired xD So on monday I was like zombie xD

On tuesday I met with Linda and we shopped a little and went to eat Thai food nomnom. I found LP Seoul pocket guide and it was only 12,95€ in Suomalainen kirjakauppa so I had to buy it :P It's small so it's convenient to carry on with~ And LP does best travel guides!
Now I have about all ready for my trip to Korea. I'm only missing travel insurance but gonna buy it soon~

On wednesday I accompanied my mom to near mall. She had some things to solve with our phone operator and wanted me with her (because apparently I have bigger understanding how things work lol).

And now rest of the week I have just been chillin lol. Next week on monday Block B Blockbuster concert in Seoul tickets will be on sale so I hope to get tickets for me and my friend. Finally I'm in Seoul when there's a concert I want to see :P
And on wednesday I plan to go to Helsinki with Annina, there's cosmetics sales in one department stores so we're gonna check it out (I know I shouldn't buy any cosmetics but I saw they had Sensai's concealer pen discounted with a very good price!). And I should visit one electronic store where I bought my expensive headphones... because they broke :/ and I did use them only like 4 months <_< so I should go and change them since there is guarantee left still..
