Con toda
esta locura últimamente de las BB creams, los productos de belleza coreanos han
estado bajo mi radar últimamente. Hace un año una prima que ha viajado varias veces
a Japón y Corea me enseñó varios de sus productos y la verdad quedé
impresionada de todos. Los empaque son lindísimos y super cute, me dijo que los
precios son muy accesibles y los productos son de lo mejor. Como en México pensé
que no había manera de conseguirlos, no me había fijado en ellos hasta que me
entró la espina después de ver a Lisa Eldridge, y he encontrado varias tiendas
en México, DF. Sé que no es lo más sencillo de encontrar pero para #beautyjunkies como yo que
irían hasta Mordor por un lipstick, tenía que probarlos.
Lately with all this craziness about BB creams, the korean beauty products have been under my radar lately. About a year ago a cousin who has traveled many times to Japan and Korea showed me many of these products and was impressed by all of them. The packaging is super cute and amazing, and she told me that the prices were pretty accesible...I was really impressed. Because I thought I couldn't get them in Mexico, I didn't pay attention until I was really curious after Lisa Eldridge posted a video and I found many stores in Mexico City. I know it's not the easiest ones to find but for #beautyjunkies like me that could go to Mordor for a lipstick, I had to try them.

El primer
lugar al que fui fue a Missha, tienen varias sucursales y principalmente iba
por sus famosas BB creams. Estas son de origen coreano y después de ver su gran
éxito en Asia, muchas compañías occidentales sacaron sus versiones pero había oído
que no se comparaban así que decidí probarlas.
The first place I went was Missha, they have many stores and I was mainly going for their famous BB creams. These are originally from Korean and after seeing their great success in Asia, many wsetern companies decided to realease their own versions but I've heard that they couldn´t compare so I decided to try one.

Escogí la M Perfect Cover BBcream porque es su best seller, viene en un tamaño pequeño y porque tenían mi
tono de piel. Una de las cosas que recomiendo que veas si planeas comprar un
producto de base es probar que tonos tienen porque en general solo tienen para
pieles blancas. Ésta BB cream tiene cobertura media, SPF 42+++, hidratación y
dice que ayuda para arrugas, líneas, granitos y a mejorar el tono de piel. La
verdad no la he usado tanto tiempo para ver la diferencia en las últimas cosas
pero me ha gustado muchísimo y la seguiré usando diario.
I chose the M Perfect Cover BB cream because is their best seller, comes in a small size and they had my exact skintone match. One of the things I recommend is if you're planning to buy a face product to test the colors because they generally are designed for light skintones. This BB cream has a medium coverage, SPF 42 +++, hydration and it says it helps with the wrinkles, fine lines, pimples and even out your skintone. Truth is I haven't use it long enough to see these diferences but I've liked it a lot and continue to use it daily.

La segunda
cosa que son muy famosas las marcas coreanas son las mascarillas de algodón…sí,
esas que haces que parezcas Hannibal Lecter. Tienen de mil y una diferentes y a
súper buen precio. Rondan entre los 25 y 50 pesos, yo escogí la de Pure Source SheetMask de Té Verde ya que mi piel tiene a tener brotes y esto leí que ayuda a
controlarlos y costó 25 pesos.
The second thing korean brands are famous for are sheet masks...yes, the ones that make you look like Hannibal Lecter. They have a thousand different ones and at a great price. I chose the Tea Tree Pure source Sheet Mask because my skin breaks out easily and I read this helps to control it.

El segundo lugar que visité fue KoCo o "Korean Cosmetics" y aquí tienen cosas de varias marcas en especial Tony Moly, Holika Holika y The Face Shop.
The second place I visited was KoCo or "Korean Cosmetics" and here they have many brands especially Tony Moly, Holika Holika and The Face Shop.
Aquí escogí el parche de ojos Panda's Dream Eye Patch de Tony Moly. Primero que nada, el empaque es demasiado lindo y en segundo he leído críticas buenísimas sobre estos parches para los ojos, la aplicas después de la limpieza y ayuda para las ojeras y líneas...es lo que necesitan mis ojos últimamente.
Here I chose the eye patch Panda's Dream Eye Patch from Tony Moly. First of all, the packaging is super cute and secondly I've read great reviews about this eye patches, you apply them after you cleanse your skin and it helps with undereye darkness and fine lines...just what my eyes need right now.
La segunda cosa que escogí fue una máscarilla como la anterior de Missha pero esta es de la marca Holika Holika y se llama Juicy Mask Sheet de Mango. Me dijeron que era hidratante y energizante para la piel, francamente me recordó a un Boing de Mango pero la probaré para ver que tan cierto es lo que dicen.
The second thing I chose was the sheet mask from Holika Holika and it's called Mango Juicy Mask Sheet. They told me it was energizing and hydrating for the skin, the packaging reming me of mango juice but I'll try and see how much the claims are true.
La tercera cosa que escogí fue una crema de manos Red Apple Hand Cream de Tony Moly. Dejando el lindo empaque de lado, es la mejor crema de manos que he probado. Huele increíble, es super super hidratante y la textura está genial, no muy grasosa pero perfecta usarla en el día. Debo admitir que no es muy práctico pero me encantó, siempre tengo resecas las manos y esta crema ha sido de las pocas que no me tengo que estar aplicando cada 5 minutos. La verdad lo escogí por como se veía y porque tenía descuento y no me he arrepentido nada.
The third thing I chose was the hand cream Red Apple Hand Cream from Tony Moly. Leaving the cute packaging aside, it's the best hand cream I've tried. It smells amazing, it's super super hydrating and the texture is great, not greasy and perfect for everyday. I'll have to admit it's not really practical but I loved it, I suffer from dry and this cream has been one of the few that I don't to reapply every 5 minutes. Truth is I chose it because how it looked and it had discount and haven't regret it a little.
