Korea Depart review

This was my first time ordering stuff from Korea Depart. I tried buying from Yesasia and some local online blog shops before, so I'm quite familiar with online shopping. I can say, Korea Depart is my favourite out of many! Payment and shipping is quick and hassle-free!

Here's the timeline of my orders :)

Sunday, 10 March - Date ordered the items & made payment through PayPal
Tuesday, 12 March - Email received saying that my order has been shipped out of Korea, in Incheon Airport
Wednesday, 20 March - Package arrived at my doorstep!

I was impressed! It took only 10 days to reach my place, and FYI, I'm living in Malaysia :) The shipping/posting fee is RM15 (after converting the currency) it was reasonable because the item I bought is pricey in Malaysia, and with the shipping it still cost less than the ones you buy from the retail shop in KL.

Honestly, I was quite surprise when there was a postman wanting me to confirm a package, I didn't expect it to reach my place so fast! When I used Yesasia, I would usually wait close to a month for it to reach my place, and it's freaking pricey :/

As this was my first time, I only bought 1 item which was a Face Shop BB cream cleanser, prolly the best in market. It's always out of stock in KL as it's a best seller (FYI: They just restocked in KL, and it's more expensive on normal days without discount). So I resort to buying it online :D

All items are carefully bubble wrapped! 

BB Cleanser is converted to only RM35. 

In Malaysia Face Shop stores, they sell this for around RM60, without discount. 

All the samples they gave! So generous!

It's really like shopping in Seoul. I went to Seoul last time and every time you pass by or enter the make up store, they will give you some samples or post cards, even if you don't purchase anything from the store! ^_^

Showed my mum and she asked me, "YOU BOUGHT ALL THESE TOO?!"

Told her it's just the samples they gave :D

SHINee postcard! ♥♥♥

I did a little research and so far the products I tested in retail shops like Skin Food, Face Shop, Holika Holika and other Korean brands in Malaysia cost much higher than Korea Depart.

So my plan now is to test the product at the retail store, and then go online to buy it XD
It's about double the price cheaper in Korea Depart!

Will totally shop in Korea Depart in the future. Feel free to ask questions in the comment box below! I will try to reply ASAP! :D

Book Shopping!

Got my RM250 book vouchers from uni last month!
I spent RM100 already so far, wisely! I only paid few cents! :D

Love this notebook!

And that kitten on the RD cover looks like Chip! ♥

I'm a sucker for pretty pink items. And also Japanese fashion magazines :D

I observed that The Secret is always out of stock or selling like hotcakes when everyone got their book vouchers. It's the one book you have to have in your bookshelf, and this never goes on discount :p

Hehe unrelated to books, but this thing is raved and works like magic!

Non sticky, moisturising and lasts quite long!

From this book, I will get anything I want! HAHAHAHA joking. It's all in the mind. 

You can download the movie version too :)

Reminiscent - Yiruma

Recently I have been addicted to Yiruma's songs! I listen to them on repeat when I'm studying, it works better than listening to Kpop songs!

Just a short update before I hit the sack! I've got only 3 more assignments and 2 more quizzes before April! Actually that's a lot O_O And finals will start on 2nd week of April!

Best carbonara ever tasted, which is from my university's cafe.

Sun Ming chicken rice! DELICIOUS! No kidding :o

Me, Steph, Kiru and Deep rehearsing for our Business Law presentation!
We nailed it! The lecturer praised that we understand the topic and were really good at explaining ^__^
Lol the paper seem to have bounced some light onto my face :D

Can't fit everyone in the pic! Oh, loving my dark brown nail colour from Skin Food! ♥

Split ends! Dry hair! Need a haircut after my finals!

Fried spaghetti with chicken chop for RM12! What a steal!

Selca time!

Tada! A rare picture of me smiling with teeth! 

Rarely smile with teeth because I have a slight inferior complex towards my teeth. Here it looks normal I guess?

Family, Friends & Food

Hola peeps! I'm back! I've survived through last week which was the worse assignment week. Last minute work. ALL 3 assignments were completed in average about 3 days. HECTIC. Every time after I complete a last-minute work, I will remind myself not to start too late. It's impossibru!!! It happens all the time. 

CNY week past quickly, eating, lazing at home, shopping. Not so much of visiting and gambling this year. I'm fine with it, since I just love lazing at home and eating whenever I have free time.

Currently enjoying university with my friends doing stuff we enjoy, which is EATING! Stephanie is like a food guide! She knows all the nice places to eat! And me, Kiru, Deep and Adrienne just love to eat. 

Lot's of SELCA pictures ahead! You're warned! ^__^

OTW to Balakong Bah Kut Teh!

Simple Red & Gold Chinese New Year / Valentine Nail Tutorial

Painted my nails again this week to usher the year of the Snake! This will be my first proper nail tutorial! Sadly, no video, cause I shy la wanna talk in the video :p Just imagine me talking when you are reading this post rofl. The stuff that I will be using in this tutorial is using a university student budget! Good news for those on a student budget :)

This will be the end result depending on your skills! Kekeke!

Looks like I did it at the nail parlour eh? :D

Step 1: My nails are long and originally oval shaped. For this nail tutorial, I filed my nails to make it look squarish. Make sure to do it on a piece of paper, not directly on the table. It made a lot of mess after I filed all 10 fingers .__. You can get these in a pack of 5 in F21 or in Watsons.

Step 2: After filing, it would look something like this. I didn't file it too squarish, just a little rounded at the edges. Hehe this is how my naked nails look like anyway.

Step 3: Apply on base coat to strengthen your nails and to add a natural shine afterwards!

I'm using Face Shop's nail strengthener in 01 손톱강화제. Have been using this for about almost 6 months! It's still usable, not that sticky till now.

1st colour I'm using: Dark blood red from Skin Food. Code RE101, RM8.80 per bottle.

 2nd colour I'm using: Gold opaque nail polish from Skin Food. Code BR613, RM8.80 per bottle.

Step 4: I know many people usually use cotton buds / Q-tips to remove the nail polish mistakes but I have my own method. I prefer to use dense square sponges because it's more precise. I remove any mistakes by putting some nail polish remover at the 90° angle of the sponge. I bought a pack of 30 square sponges from Daiso for RM5. Lol everything there is RM5 :O

Tada! And you're done! I didn't use any top coat because it usually ruins my manicure, the colour just fades together with the top coat! It's so shiny because I used base coat before putting on the red and gold nail colour.


Hope you like the nail tutorial! You can comment for nail tutorial suggestions!
Happy New Year and Happy Valentines' Day to those taken or single! ^_^

Brunch at The Garden

Skipped a class on last Tuesday morning because it was freaking jam. A journey that took 20 minutes on a normal day took 1 hour 40 minutes instead! Met Stephanie in McD to wait for Adrienne to finish her class and later we head to Mid Valley for brunch! ♥

Was so jakun. I haven't been to Mid Valley for the past two months. I hung out at Pav most of the time. 

They opened up the area that was for construction. New outlets like Muji, Daiso, Match Up and they revamped Pets Wonderland. The cats there looked damn hyper ♥

Selca at The Garden. The deco at The Garden very chio, worthwhile to eat there JUST to take pictures XD

Aztec aztec tribal tribal spike spike stud stud. I haz them all HAHAHA

BB cream and eyeliner only.

Me and Stephanie

Me, Stephanie, Adrienne

Their set lunch is very affordable despite the elaborate deco.

Mostly RM10+ included bottomless ice lemon tea and soup of the day.

Have to learn to drive to more places! This gang here loves to eat like me! ♥

Nail of the Week: Gold Gradient nails

Nail of the first week of February 2013! Bought two new colours from Skin Food! Super in love with their classy and mild tone nail colours! I am into autumn tones nowadays! And I love their quality! For the price range of RM8 - RM15, it is super high quality! My red nail polish actually lasted for 1 week without the top coat, and yet it still looks shiny! I think I should do a nail tutorial one day. I get a lot of likes and inquiries on my nails all the time. Thanks for liking and asking! ^__^

One layer of beige shimmer, gradient of gold opaque nail polish! 

Added a jewel on the ring finger nail! ♥

Gold opaque nail polish from Skin Food

Beige shimmer nail polish as the base.

"...And he's long gone when he's next to me,
And I realize the blame is on me,
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in,
So shame on me now...And the saddest fear comes creeping in,
That you never loved me or her..."


Relates to me.
