I'm currently using Skinfood products. Compatible naman cya sa skin ko

While in Seoul, hinanap ko talaga Skinfood stores dun. I was so shocked to discover na ang laki ng price mark-up nila dito sa Pinas. Grabe !

yehey magkakaroon na ng missha sa megamall.. sana hindi OA mag markup ng price tulad ng skinfood! LOL

:p

Sis, true ba toh??? and when will they open missha daw here??? ^_^ excited. I love their bb cream.

And about etude, i am somewhat sure na mahal sha. Because in bangkok, super mahal ng etude. I went there thinking na the price is pretty much the same as their price in korea, but I was disappointed. I ended up buying just one product (pore erasing peach) instead of the whole set. grrrr

Yay missha! Been wanting to try their products too! Sa kung sino mang unang makakita ng store nila sa Mega, keep us posted!

I'm also looking for a good skincare products from any Korean brand....

^ There's a lot to choose from sis.

For midlevel brands (mga 500-700 pesos price per item) there's Skinfood, Etude, Innisfree and my current fave it's skin (I love it's skin kasi derma tested and formulated but ang price range nya is still same as skinfood).

If you want naman talagang derma or highend, Laneige, BRTC, Gwowoonsesang are the most popular.

In between yung price range ng highend and midlevel brands are the brands meant talaga for young (i.e.) twenties na working women: Mamonde, Missha, SKCara.

In my opinion, best for whitening: Laneige
best for sensitive skin: It's skin and BRTC
best for hydrating and lifting: Missha, SKCara
Eye Care: Skinfood Salmon and BRTC (but mahal)
Oily skin: tie between innisfree, brtc

^^ thanks sa mga reco.... I will research them....
Too many brands kasi....

RMK an DHC is from what country?

letters_to_cleo · « **Reply #46 on:** August 04, 2009, 04:13:55 pm »

DHC is from Japan sis, RMK is a US Brand (and may I say, ang mahal nya ha!) but the owner of that brand , RMK, is a Japanese woman.

sis Joeanne, thanx sa mga reco..hmm can you suggest a good anti aging eye cream? na okay din for dark undereyes

babyjapnurse01 · « **Reply #48 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:13:55 am »

nung nasa taas pa (near the moviehouse) yung Koichi sa Rob Ermita, meron pa sila Missha Perfect Cover, pero atras ako when i asked them kung magkano, 2800 daw! gravy! Ü

^ Hi Gale! Surprisingly haha ang eye cream na gamit ko lang is yung Skinfood Potiron Au Lait Eye Cream and it works for me. (Actually yung eye cream ko ginamit ko rin na face cream ning winter haha nagtipid eh). Wala pa rin lines and dark circles around my eyes considering 30 na ako and the past few months since starting TLC eh lagi akong puyat kahit ang Korean friend ko na-notice hahaha. But nagsasawa na rin ako sa Potiron haha, in all honesty gusto kong i-try yung BRTC Eye Vitalizer (mahal!) or Skinfood Salmon Brightening Serum pag naubos ang eye cream ko in a few months' time siguro. I heard good reviews for the BRTC eye vitalizer two kasi and I tested the Skinfood Eye Serum with samplers na, mukhang promising. Nga lang parehas silang mahal

Samantalang yung Potiron ko 500 pesos lang .

babyjapnurse! super naman yun! tatlong 50 ml na Missha PC na yun ah!

babyjapnurse01 · « **Reply #50 on:** August 05, 2009, 08:23:07 am »

^haha! grabe nga eh! hehe! i checked din their tsubaki prods, yung shampoo/conditioner nila sells for 890 per bottle... ang taas ng mark-up sobra! yung set naman, just like the one i asked you about sis, they sell it for 2950! grabe! exagge ang mark up! even chifure 2 way foundies, they sell it for twice the price sa ebay.. gravy..

crystal_gale · « **Reply #51 on:** August 05, 2009, 10:18:30 am »

Thanx Joeanne! If you will choose, which one from skinfood is better? the salmon or the potiron? My derma is suggesting I use Neostrata eye cream but it is so expensive (P1600!) so I want to try something below P1k first hehe

Ganun.....hahaha.....feeling ko can afford....thanks for the info....

^^ Hi Gale! Hmm kasi nagsasawa na ako sa Potiron eh haha. But it really works for me and wala rin kasi akong dark circles pa (which is good kasi sa liit ng mata ko pag nagka-dark circles pa pano na lang? haha) but I am tempted to get a full jar of Salmon brightening as my next jar. Unless mag-sale ang BRTC nung vitalizer! Haha which is malabo kasi medyo rave sya ever sa K, so di nila kelangan ang hype sa product na yun. Pansin ko kasi sa BRTC, pag new product, talagang all-out sila sa pagpromo but once ma-establish na

di na nila sinasama sa promo sets

Sad, kasi di ko afford ang BRTC Vitalizer Eye Cream nila .

crystal_gale · « **Reply #54 on:** August 05, 2009, 09:38:21 pm »

^ ah ganun ba? how much sine-sell locally yung salmon brightening? mahal nga BRTC..di ko afford hehe

george921 · « **Reply #55 on:** August 06, 2009, 12:46:25 am »

may nakita ako online, selling etude foundation... 1600.. ganun ba [textspeak!] kamahal? hehe.. grabe naman.

sana magkaron na nga sila here sa pinas, kasi sobrang naadik ako sa korean products, hehe..

letters_to_cleo · « **Reply #56 on:** August 06, 2009, 11:20:51 am »

^OA yun sis, Etude is a brand for highschool and college students in Korea. Walang products dun na lalagpas ng 1k pesos each (with mark-up na yan ha!)

letters_to_cleo · « **Reply #57 on:** August 06, 2009, 11:22:46 am »

^Hi Gale, nung May I checked out skinfood MoA, I think 2k plus yung salmon brightening serum sa Pinas. Of course you know where to get it cheaper haha jokey!
