Just a small update, it has been months since I have updated this blog.
I am currently traveling around South Korea for 3 weeks, I'm a week in so I only have 2 weeks left!
Being a makeup lover, I absolutely adore looking through all the cute shops selling makeup and beauty products in Korea, however the things that salespeople have said to me just... baffles me.
I was looking at cheap nail polish, and ended up choosing only two colours because I didn't want to spend that much. I was led into the store where the girl kept trying to persuade me to buy some face masks. This is how our conversation went:
Her: But face mask cheap, very good present. Only 30,000won for a pack of 20! Very cheap.
Me: That is cheap, but I don't need face masks...
Her: You don't need for you? OK, that's OK. Buy as present for friend.
Me: It's ok, I already have lots of face masks from other countries.
Her: But... you need to buy face mask.
Me: No... no I don't.
Her: Yes, present for friend. You need! Good price!
The conversation kept going in a circle because I was telling her that I don't need it, and she kept telling me that I do need it. So I eventually gave up and bought something else just so she would let me leave the store.
The other thing was I stepped into another makeup store and was looking at BB creams. The salesperson kindly applied some on the back of both of my hands. The first thing I noticed, SUPER light. One was extremely light, and I was really hesitant. I told her it's too light, even on my face. I looked in the mirror and realized the store had extremely bright lighting, bringing up my natural face colour. She kept saying it's light on the back of my hand, because my hand is darker (true), but then kept telling me: "BB cream colour is made to fit your face. It'll fit your face."
...... Just because a BB cream is designed to fit your face colour, does not necessarily mean that it will fit your face colour. She just kept repeating that and I was constantly disagreeing.
Of course there might of been a translation error or something, as the sales girl did not speak good English (lots of uhh, sorry. I'm sorry!).
I also find it hard to trust someone's makeup advice (especially when it comes to face products) when they have such a thick layer of makeup on! It's quite off putting and honestly, I am all for looking flawless, but I don't want to look like I'm wearing a ton of makeup!
