Too Cool for School - price in South Korea (Dec 2013)

So back in Dec 2013 I stumbled into a beauty shop called "Too Cool for School" in Dongdaemun, South Korea.

Besides having an awesome name (I'm probably too old for school, but whatever...), the shop decor is really nice & quirky and I was also really drawn to the products' packaging. Using my phone, I did a quick google search on the brand and found out that there is actually a branch in Bangsar itself! Asked the Korean sales assistant (in Mandarin, no less) to recommend some of their top selling products. In the end, I got these:

1) Egg Mousse Pack - KRW12,000 (about RM37. Malaysia RP: RM73.50 as of Nov 2013)
2) After School BB Foundation Lunch Box - KRW18,000 (about RM55. Malaysia RP: RM99.50 as of Jan 2013)
3) Art Class Pencil Eraser - KRW8,500 (about RM26. Malaysia RP: unknown)
4) Hot Girl Lip Sticker in Blossom Pink - KRW8,000 (about RM24.50. Malaysia RP: unknown)

One of the best things about travel is discovering new beauty brands!

Valiram Warehouse Sale March 2014 - Charles & Keith shoes haul

I went to the Valiram warehouse sale on its first day; weekday lunch time. Was there from 1 to 230pm. Was pleasantly surprised by the vast selection of shoes; I daresay there were hundreds! Everything was at least 50% off; I lamented to a stranger next to me, "where's a girl to start?" and we both laughed out in glee. Also, I am a size 41 and I learnt (since Scholl warehouse sale) that shoe-related warehouse sales favours those with big feet (we are the minority).

Here's my haul, dear readers:

1) White covered heels/pump @ RM59 - Can't say no to moonstone effect

2) Grey open toe platform wedges with ankle strap @ RM69 - Can't say no to wedges

3) Red covered heels/pump @ RM69 - I had a lovely pair of red pumps (rounded toes) from Cats Whiskers once and was sad when it came apart; this is a good replacement; albeit with pointed toes

4) White flats @ RM59 - I know I can probably get the same flats from Vincci / Nose at half the price... Oh well, let's hope these Charles & Keith flats can last longer than those sold @ Vincci / Nose!

5) Taupe covered heels/pump @ RM39 - This is pretty similar to item no. 1, but I like that the V-shape makes my feet look smaller.
