Review: Shop and Box

Hi guys,

Although the weather is still freezing cold in New York (narrowly avoided another snow storm this weekend), spring is in full bloom in other parts of the world. Most noticeably, South Korea. If you've never seen the cherry blossoms in Korea before, it is definitely worth a trip.

So today, I'm bringing you a special post introducing my favorite website/app called Shop and Box. if you're interested in picking up some of the newest spring edition makeup collections from Korea, keep reading below!

Drama Feature: Tempted (위대한 유혹자) 2018 - Fashion, Makeup, & Jewelry~~~~

Many people wish to be the great tempter who has power over love. However, once they actually experience love, they begin to understand that what they once wished for was foolish and useless. In this drama, all the characters are in love just like us. To be frank, they all desire someone. The desires to love and to be loved clash with each other as the story unravels. Some regret the mask they hid behind in front of love and express their disappointment and anger to others. Through love, some learn to love themselves while others get too hurt to stand back on their feet. But then again, through many hardships, some get back on their feet and learn to love once again. Tempted hopes for the viewers to laugh, cry, and go through these stories together. Just like how everyone′s interpretation of love is different, this drama wishes that we can all love passionately without any comparisons.  - VIKI

Also known as: The Great Seducer, The Great Tempter, Temptation

I decided to start doing a monthly K-Drama feature where I will share the makeup and fashion in the drama. I’ll include the brand, where you can buy it, and prices! I’ll mainly be including my personal favorite items ;)

Kbeauty Sample Sale! - JKNLEE

Hello~
Lili here! I went to a Kbeauty sample sale hosted by JKNLEE in New York City a few weekends ago: Saturday, March 10th, 2018 to be exact ;) I was going to see some friends in the city for dinner and walked downtown to the sale before meeting up with them. I saw JKNLEE'S posts on social media and decided to check it out.

When I went it was in the afternoon, and super crowded. It's a very small store. They had a ton of great deals, but the only thing that was unfortunate was that you had to purchase the deals. For example, if it was 3 items for $5, you had to purchase 3, and you couldn't only buy 2. Each category had different prices (ie. eyeliners, eyeshadows, masks, etc.) and you had to purchase the minimum amount.

I purchased 3 eyeliners (gave one away to a friend), 2 boxes of sheet masks (with 10 in each box I believe), 3 individual pot eyeshadows, 3 lipsticks, and 3 eyeshadow palettes. It all came to around $50!

The sale was open to all, and you didn't need a ticket or anything to enter.

OOTD Feature: Uniqlo

Hi guys! Today I have a clothing-related post for you, featuring one of my favorite brands: Uniqlo. This minimalistic Japanese brand is good quality, offers a ton of color choices, and has some of the cleanest store displays I've ever seen. If you haven't checked out this brand yet, I'm going to show you several reasons why you should! Winter wear, athleisure, and workwear are some of the major reasons why I love Uniqlo so much. I've been a loyal customer to the brand for years, and bought up their Heat Tech like crazy while I lived in Seoul. If you want to see some of my favorite items and how I put them together, click "read more" below :)

Best Skincare Products for Your Zodiac Sign

We're going to have a little fun in this week's blog post and take a look at what Korean skincare products are ideal for your special sign. I've always been the type of person that checks my daily zodiac sign to see what the future holds (who else automatically skims down to the compatibility section?) So why not use our signs to help point to some skincare concerns?

Some of these products are tried and true by Aster and Lili and don't break the bank, so read ahead to see what your future holds. Something tells me it's going to be great, healthy, and glowy skin.
