Winter in Korea Travel Essentials

Your Korean visa was already approved! What to do next? Shopping, of course! Traveling to Korea in December means it's winter season over there. Good thing, DH is used to winter season having lived in Canada for several years. He knows what to bring e.g. travel essentials. We shopped a few days before we left for Korea. 

I want to share with you the items that saved my dear life from the winter cold. Think  negative 15 degree celsius! 

Note that some of the items pictured here were bought in Korea. Nothing beats Korean products, it's inexpensive and stylish! I <3! 

bonnets, hat & earmuffs

DH shopped for his bonnet in Bench. I bought a bonnet and a hat in Korea for PhP1, 040 (W26, 000). The earmuffs, I got it for only PhP400 (W10, 000).

Gift Guide: Nivea Lip Care and Nivea Body Extra Whitening Cell Repair & Protect Body Milk

A few weeks ago, I got 6 different Nivea Lip Care in the mail! Great timing as these lip moisturizers are perfect stocking fillers or you can also give these if you have Kris Kringle (Secret Santa) activity in the office. 

 Nivea Natural Volume  SPF30+ 8.5ml PhP175

Among the 6 variants, I opened Nivea Natural Volume first because the carton said it provides natural volume and beautiful shine with collagen enhancer & light reflecting pigments plus it locks in moisture!

See the result after the break...

Nivea Visage Q10 plus Anti- Wrinkle System... A Royal Preference!

When I got an email a few months back from Mikki, brand executive of Nivea Visage, about Princess Catherine's- yes, the Duchess of Cambridge- £5 beauty secret, I was curious and would love to try it out. She was spotted shopping at a Boots store purchasing Nivea Visage Pure & Natural Day Cream.* If the princess uses this product then it must be good!

Who is not afraid to age? I hope everybody would agree with me that getting old is a scary sight to behold. Wrinkles, crow's feet, dark circles, freckles, dark spots and eye bags are all part of stress and old age. At 35, I am lucky to have a wrinkle- free skin, save for a few dark spots here and there. When the whole Nivea Visage Q10 plus Anti- Wrinkle System was delivered to my house, I could not wait to start using it especially the Nivea Visage Q10 plus Anti- Wrinkle Eye Cream.

Nivea Pure & Natural plus a giveaway!

I have great news for people who are into natural ingredients! Nivea, with its 100 years skin care expertise, recently introduced Pure & Natural line. This is for people who have sensitive skin and can get easily irritated with some artificial and chemical ingredients. 

 Nivea Pure & Natural range

Nivea's Pure & Natural products works for your skin! Take the Nivea Deo Pure &Natural Action, it contains powerful nature identical anti- bacterial active that ensures 24h intensive protection without clogging your pores. 

I gave the samples to my mom. As you all know, I don't use deodorant. She was delighted to see something new and with ingredients that doesn't cause white specks on your blouse or shirt, don't you just hate that ugly "hello-I'm-using-a-deodorant" mark?
