Mostly Beauty, Mostly Me
One of my goals throughout the holiday is to try and visit as many cafes in Seoul as possible. There are so many, and I want to visit them all while I still have the chance. I spotted Le Montblanc on Instagram, and luckily the friend that came with me also had that cafe on her… Continue reading [Cafe Break] Le Montblanc, Seoul
It's November. Every Seoulite has embraced the arrival of jacket season, apart from me. The weather was still hitting 20 degrees C at the end of October. It took a sharper downturn to highs of 14 just recently, depending on the day, and in the evenings it can hit anywhere between 10C and -2C! Somehow,… Continue reading [Seoul Diary/Reflection] Winter Is… On Its Way
Me? At a Fashion Week? I've not even been to any of the London ones! But, as I am Seoul this year, I felt that I should experience it once or twice at least. You can have a look at my instagram over at @Swanzig_X where I've saved it all as a highlight (it'll likely… Continue reading [Beauty & Chatter] Seoul Fashion Week S/S 2020
When it came to the later stages of packing my suitcases to go to Korea, I ended up ditching all of my regular eyeshadow palettes. They were all rather big and bulky, and this year I've been leaning away from that and going for much more compact options. My go-to was the small custom palette… Continue reading [Review] Lilybyred Mood Cheat Kit in Peach Energy
It's here, folks! The first beauty post written in Seoul! (I say this although my excitement for Rihanna last week really beat me to the punch.) As we all know, beauty shopping in Seoul is a dangerous venture for the wallet. I've held back a lot so far! But I wanted a daily lip balm… Continue reading [Snap Review] Etude House Honey Cera Lip Oil

Long story short, I was able to get a ticket to see Rihanna, Hector Espinal and… Continue reading [First Impressions / Review] Fenty Beauty NEW Seoul Launch Products!
Imagine, y'all. On a regular day scrolling Instagram, I came across this. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zOmc8BR3l/ [In case the link doesn't work, it's the promo post for Fenty Beauty's Artistry and Beauty Talk with Rihanna] And I thought, "Rihanna is going to be in Seoul. I'm in Seoul at the same time! This is FATE." So I tried… Continue reading [Makeup & Chatter] Fenty Beauty Artistry + Beauty Talk w. RIHANNA
So my second week of classes is over. I have a long post for you all today - I am back to relying on the blog to get my thoughts out due to the different timezones and sometimes not wanting to bother people with my feelings. I've been telling people I am fine and settling… Continue reading [Thoughts/Seoul Diary] Not Quite Homesick
I headed out early the other day to grab some things from the convenience store a minute down the road, but after I ate I got hit with some mad jetlag. Fair, as it was reaching 2am back in the UK. But I also meant to buy a multitude of other things which I didn't… Continue reading [Thoughts] My first day (or 3) in Seoul
(updated post-travel with minor changes) By the time this post goes out, I will be in Seoul! HOW EXCITING. Anyway, I bought a new backpack recently! It was a celebratory gift to myself of sorts, to commemorate this new adventure I am going on. My old Kipling backpack is starting to get on in age… Continue reading What’s in my Backpack?
