I've got my requests from Korea

MISA Cho Bo Yang Emulsion courtesy of Misshaus.com
And so Jay (Mom's Korean client/friend) came back to Manila last week, which meant that we finally received all of our requests. Thank goodness we have her cuz the things we couldn't usually buy in the country will never be a problem to us anymore. Like me, I'm totally in love with their ginseng, and mixed nuts teas.  I also love their pumpkin tea but I didn't request for a pack last time cuz I thought of having a break on that for now. But I'll comeback for it next time. Not only the teas she brought to us, our ordered skin care products as well. Like products from Missha and The Face Shop she bought all the way from Korea. Actually I wasn't really requesting for the emulsion that she got for me, anyway when I told mom what I like I only said that for as long as there is something like Korean ginseng in it, I wasn't specific since even if I would want to the name of my previous moisturizer was written in, was it Chinese or Japanese? Yeah, the writings wasn't even in Korean, and absolutely not in English. It sucked though. And so that's how it goes, I only said the content that it should have, and that's it. Until now whenever I check for that product in The Face Shop's website I still couldn't find it there. Eventually I've decided to move on without knowing its name, at least I'm sure that it exists cuz the facial wash that she bought for us was in the same name in which my new found favorite was under--- the same skin care collection. The emulsion I've mentioned previously  was MISA Cho Bo Yang Emulsion. My gosh! it's nice that the Missha website has the information and picture of that product. Apparently I knew the name through their website since the bottle was written in either Chinese or Japanese characters. But that wasn't a problem, what's important is how it can deliver well. It didn't disappoint. Right now I paused from using my night cream and serum, just that, and I am totally fine. I like the product cuz it's not too oily nor dry on your face, and your face looks healthier to look at. Maybe it's the ginseng, oh how I love their ginseng. However, going to the opposite end, I find the bottle heavy and I'm thinking how many was its content inside that thick and covered body of it? I'm kinda doubting it wasn't full or just less than enough of the cream since the bottle already occupied the space. I'm thinking it's not a very practical skin care product to buy, but if you are really satisfied with its effect then there's no regret in investing. Me, I like it, but if without mom buying me that product, I can't have it not until she changed her mind. Now regarding the facial wash of the same name as my previous moisturizer from The Face Shop, I say that... um... I don't know, it was alright, I didn't get an allergy or anything... I  didn't see anything new to touch nor feel. I think their moisturizer is better.

Before I leave I wanna tell you something more convenient when you buy stuff from abroad. That it's cheaper to buy almost anything at the airport of whatever country you're in because they don't have tax. They don't tax the item that you  purchase at the airport stores but as far as I know you are not allowed to open the things that are prohibited if you don't have them checked-in, like liquids. I've learned that, should I say 'trick', since Jay only buys our skin care products at their airport before going back to the Philippines to cost us less than the price we get if we buy them in the country or theres.
