Korean goodies - Mushroom BB Cream & White Angel chocolates
My sister lugged back a bagful of skincare for me from Korea before Christmas, and I love them! I don’t usually buy Korean stuff because I’m a Japanese-supporter so this is a first!
Part of the loot included my favorite Aloe BB Cream from Skin Food, and I also got to try the Mushroom Multi Care BB Cream and Peach Sake Pore Minimizing Base. (Skin Food products are more than 25% cheaper in Korea compared to Singapore!) The Mushroom Multi Care BB Cream has a runnier consistency compared to Aloe BB Cream, thus the coverage is less. It also smells a little raw like greens. Same sunblock properties as Aloe BB Cream but with added whitening and anti-aging properties. The Peach Sake Serum made my skin flaky when I applied the BB cream over it has quite a strong scent, pore coverage wasn’t obvious, I prefer Ettusai’s Zero Pore Coat.
Read about my other BB Creams reviews in this post.
And there are these Happy House Design (Australia) designed, Korean white chocolates too!
I’ve got a lot of other masks and packs to try, will update as I use them. 
可愛いのチョコ！

Blogroll
Alright, I’ve finally added some links to my friends’ crafty websites as well as a list of my favorite sites; these are the crème de la crème I tell you! I’m quite a geek at heart what with the SEO optimisation I’ve been doing for my blog and all. What’s left now is to design my very own Wordpress theme!

First up, a Merry Christmas to everyone! Do leave a comment if you’re reading this because I’m getting traffic but I rarely get comments or feedback. 
It’s been a so-so Christmas and I’m looking forward to 2008. My sister left for Washington yesterday morning to study there for six months and I miss her already! *waves at Michi* Before she left, I made her a rilakkuma felt mascot, poorly done because I didn’t have the right color threads and I’m not very good at hand stitching.
This book is a must-buy for all rilakkuma fans out there.
