jehan's addictions: Holika Holika at Bupyeong Underground Shopping ...

I first thought that Holika Holika was from Japan but after reading a few blogs about it way back when I started seeing reviews from "Lotus Palace," I came to know that it's actually a sister brand of Enprani.? I think I was able to try some skin care samples from Enprani and didn't really like them.? However, since the Lotus Palace blog owner makes a lot of posts about her Holika Holika hauls, I've always wanted to try their products.? After their opening in Myeongdong last year, I never got the chance to visit any of their stores because we were busy looking into houses and then packing for the transfer here in Gimpo on our day offs.

Just last week, on our way out from the Bupyeong Underground shopping center, after?meeting up with my cousin in law and a couple of online sellers, I saw the Holika Holika shop just opening across the less famous brand "Baviphat."? Judging by the number of teens and ajummas worming their way in and out of the small store and with their hauls, Holika Holika is indeed now popular among Koreans.? They also had an opening discount so the shop was more inviting.? With SooAe in her carrier and 2 big bags in tow, I wasn't able to look around?much.? The shop was really small and I was scared of accidentally touching, pushing or dropping things around.?

I?got so excited with their?BB cream items which come in light and medium beige shades but I didn't have any other way to test or swatch them.? From the displays, I could see right away that they are the BB cream products I could use for my skin shade/tone.? Fortunately, they had this baskets and boxes outside which contained several products.? I saw a container?of this 15mL PEACH GIRL BB CREAM SPF 37 PA++ and grabbed some and handed?them to the SA.?

15(?)mL sample tubes for 1,000won each

I didn't even know how much each was and I was so surprised that she only asked for 6,000won.? I'm not so sure if they're a bit more expensive compared to the other popular Korean?cosmetics brands we like but I think I'll give the products a try.? What's more.. they're cutely packaged.

I'm satisfied when I tried using the bb cream this week.? Although a bit lighter (because I got the #1: light beige shade), I still liked how the product smoothly blended into my skin.

I meant to show you a swatch but the tube got squeezed

maybe such that the product just popped out when I

removed the cap.

After wiping off excess product and?blending in the product,

I liked how the cream felt and looked on my skin.

It's also hot here nowadays but my face didn't get oily at all.? Don't you hate it when BB creams that claim to be a primer as well make your face oilier.?

For more Holika Holika reviews, just visit the "Lotus Palace" blog.? Katie, the owner has a lot of Holika hauls I envy...

And since there are 4 extra sample tubes (one is for me and the other is for a friend in Australia), email me your address and leave a comment here that you did and you'll get one sample and other samples I still have here.??Let's do it FCFS... If no one does till the 12th of this month, I'll send them all to my friend.. kkk
