ANSWERS

  1. When did you start to love beauty and skin care?
    My love of beauty and skin care definitely started two years ago, and turned into an obsession after I got my hands on so many amazing products in Seoul (about a year ago).
  2. Which product will you recommend others to try?
    I’ve been raving about Skinfood’s Milk Mild Cleansing Foam that I reviewed last month. I think it’s a great product for those that want to try a new foam cleanser or are discovering the double-cleanse method.
  3. Splurge on beauty or fashion?
    100% beauty! I’m pretty cheap when it comes to clothing, but I always splurge on beauty products.
  4. Where usually your go to store to purchase your make up?
    Sephora is my favorite makeup store, followed by Nature Republic. Once in a while, I also go to Ulta.
  5. Summer vs winter?
    Actually, autumn is my favorite season, but I have to go with winter. Sweater weather, hot chocolate, Christmas… I think winter has so many more things to love than summer. I can’t stand being hot and sweaty.
  6. Which cosmetic ingredients you always try to avoid?
    Parabens and titanium dioxide, but I end up using products with them anyway. Oh well.
  7. What is your favourite skin care brand?
    This is such a hard question, but I have to go with The Face Shop.
  8. When was the happiest moment of your life?
    Another hard question… I can’t say it’s the happiest ever, but getting a job straight out of college and sharing that with my parents was very wonderful.
  9. Which beauty item represents your personality?
    Lip tint! It’s my favorite makeup product since it’s so easy to apply and stays put for a long time. I like to think that I’m easygoing and hard-working 🙂
  10. What are your secret beauty tips?
    Never skip a day of your routine, even when you’re on vacation. It truly makes a difference. Also, dry shampoo is really amazing.
