Skincare, Konad Stamping Nail Art, Nail Arts and Make Up!
For the first time in many many years…I took the plunge to totally change my hair style!
My last long hair taken the day before.
I was quite an impromptu kind of thing, I just wanted to trim away the damaged ends..and ended up cutting the whole head!
Ready to see my new hair?
On the second day of photoshoot, our destination was Nami Island. It is quite a far place as it was about a 2.5 hours bus ride from Seoul + another 10 min boat ride.
I had to wake up as early as 0430 in the morning for makeup and hair! Gosh. Sure as hell I was tired as I only slept for 3 hours the night before.
After changing into gown I quickly snapped a picture in the hotel room.
And yes Connie my hair was sticking out. LOL.
I really love this yellow gown!!! But I won’t be wearing this for my wedding day.
A ponytail wig was used in the hairdo.
After 2.5 hour of bus ride with the extremely tight gown, I was really nauseous and almost puked in the bus.
As if that’s not enough, it had to rain the whole day and I had to wear raincoat to prevent my hair and makeup smudge before the photoshoot.
Arriving! 3 of us who were in our gown and make up already, we had the luxury to sit in the van. The rest had to walk to the destination! It was about a 15 minutes walk to the Mongolian tents.
While waiting for the photoshoot to start, we prayed for rain to stop. But it did not.
The Mongolian tents are actually like resorts for tourists.
And in Korean traditional bridal costume! Honestly I don’t think I like this outfit a lot…
Hello goood Tuesday! (yawn)
I am still missing shopping in Korea 
have not shopped enough…!
After the photoshoot in the day, we did not check in to hotel immediately. To save time, we adjourned to shopping in DongDaeMun and dinner.
OMG HELLO MALLS!
I was excited!!! From what I heard, there are about 7-8 huge shopping malls in this area. It is one of the main hearts of Seoul too.
It was only about 6pm and it was turning dark already.
Etude House, Skinfood, The Face Shop can almost be seen every 200m in the busy area.
They have a larger selection there..and..a makeup area!!!
Awww it is so pretty!
Price of the Korean brand products is about 30% -40% cheaper than what we can get it Malaysia.
There is a night shopping street near the area too.

Hello hello! After a long break, I am back! 
Korea is a heaven for kimchi, and masks! Sadly I could not buy tonnes of stuff back due to the heavy luggage. We had to lug our own gowns there and back here. My gown got wet in the rain and it became even heavier! It is really a pity, wish I had bought more more more masks!
We took a midnight flight, so when we reached the Korea Incheon Airport, it was only 0700.
Ouch on the panda eye for not being able to sleep in the plane!
A bus was arranged to pick all of us ( about 10 couples) for the photoshoot, plus 3 photographers and another 3 makeup artists. It was about an hour plus bus ride from Incheon to this destination.
Our first venue: Dae Jang Geum Theme Park in Yangjoo Culture Valley.
It was still quite early hence there were not many people yet.
We changed into our gowns in quite a dusty room…but bah! It was cold and windy..*shiver*
Guess what? We were being made up outdoor! Exposed! And without mirror. I could not see how I looked like till I was completely done.
It looks really strange to being made up outdoor. And soon, the crowd started to build and people were staring at us as if we were in the zoo!
After the professional photoshoots, we roamed a little ourselves in our gowns for few shots on our own.
Since we were the first group, we had plenty of time to kill till the last group wrapped up.
My shoes were torn! And I bought a new pair
After having some shots, we were too cold and tired to continue as we didn’t sleep the night before. So, we decided to go for lunch.
The only eatery in the Dae Jang Geum Theme Par, the home style.
