Skinfood brand introduction

Skin food Brand Introduction

Skin food is a Cosmetics and Makeup brand in Korea that is focused on ‘Food therapy’. All of their products have food names in the titles, and various fruit and plant extracts.

Honestly the idea doesn’t appeal to me. I want products that are going to give me beautiful youthful skin. What’s in it really doesn’t matter.

The packaging off all their products is simplistic, and designed to look like cardboard containers, and for a lot of it, to look like food containers. Some of the stuff is attractive…. But in general…. NO.
Or at least not to me.
I hate to say it, but packaging is kind of important to me. I want something that looks pretty and works well.
Sure I have lots of items that have utilitarian packaging. But if I’m trying something new I’m drawn to the beautiful.
So even though the brand Skinfood hasn’t appealed to me, I have picked up a couple of basic items to try.
Sheet masks, wash off masks, nail polish, etc.A few things that you can’t go wrong with.
But thrown in with those few cheap items were samples, oodles of samples.
And to my surprise, the samples are AMAZING!

The avocado toner and emulsion set is soft, gentle, and super moisturizing.
I found myself going back to it often. So I’ve gone out and bought a few more things.Then a few more, and a few more. Just about every item is Wonderful.
The skin care is some of the best I’ve used here in Korea. The Makeup…. It’s of good quality, but not very exciting. But oh the skin care .

I highly recommend this Brand! You can find it on G-market, and eBay easily. But It’s a pretty popular brand, and I’m sure there are other online places that carry it!

Missha - Brand Introduction

Missha is a Korean Skin care and Makeup brand, that like Etude house, Tony Moly, and many others has it’s own stores here.

Which means Missha has a massive amount of products. There are a number of different skin care lines, including a very sleek men’s line. 

As a brand Missha is characterized by sleek modern packaging and more subtle work appropriate looks.

The prices are also more expensive than most of the brands with independent stores, but of course cheaper than department store brands.

For example  a stamp blush is about 8000won ($8), a baked blusher is ($17).

At etude house those prices would be about $5 and $12, and a a low end department store brand $15 and $25 respectively. 

Because their packaging looks super Elite I immediately fell in love.

And since they do not test on animals, I am super excited to try out their stuff!!!!!

The Missha stores aren’t very common where I’m living, so I’ve recently just discovered it, and the first time I went in to a store, they were having a 50% Holiday sale!!!

So I admit I bought a fair number of things…
