Look at... you guys were right here
So
Umm.. Today I'm starting off my day in Gwanghwamun
I have a meeting here with Olivia
And, um, I think someone from the Korean tourism organisation
I might be wrong, it might be someone else
But, I need to look for this... Four Seasons Hotel
That's where we're meeting today
Think we're gonna get coffee there, and then...
I honestly don't know what we're doing
They said that there will be a meeting and then
We might do something fun throughout the day
So, I'm sorry it's like so uncertain but I really don't know what I'm doing today
So it should be like a very spontaneous like vlog
So I hope you guys enjoy it
Also, thank you guys so much for transcribing and translating my videos
I woke up to like, 10 videos translated to... German, Chinese, Italian, Indonesian
And I was just so thankful and of course, a lot of you guys also transcribed my videos to English
So, I really want to thank you guys for that
If you are interested in doing so, I'll link a video down below
Telling you guys how you can be part of my description box
Because it's always at the very end
Like who helped transcribe or translate my videos
So, I really want to thank you guys for that
But, I gotta find this place
Let me, let me get this map to work
Here it is, let's go inside
I noticed that the walls for this building is black marble
I love it
Alright, let's go
Olivia is here
Hello!
I'm here again
Again
She's seriously making an appearance in my vlogs like, weekly
- Every single day - I know, every other day or so
-I'm really like, happy to be here
It's really early right now, it's like, 9:30
So I just found that I'm gonna be touring
some of the beauty spots in Seoul
so I'm pretty excited about it, so
they invited me to go beauty shopping in Myeongdong
and the Sulwhasoo flagship store
which is super exciting 'cus I've been there before
but I never vlogged it so it should be very exciting
We're gonna grab lunch at the Tea Therapy
It smells so good, I wish you guys could smell this place
Right now I'm going to learn how to make tea
So now we are going to make our own tea
and she gave us three tea bags
and we're just going to mix according to what we want
in our tea
After making our tea we are now going to get a foot bath
Getting a foot bath and
we're gonna put this in once it fills
Gonna put this in now
Here it is
and they gave us tea
Hey guys, so I actually didn't vlog after the lunch because
I feel like I showed you guys enough of Myeongdong
and we went K-Beauty shopping
and right now we are at the Sulwhasoo
this is our last destination, we're gonna get a facial
and this store is beautiful so I wanted to
kind of focus on that today, so let's go inside
Check out this architecture
We're here, at the Balance Spa
Look at this store, it's just like very beautiful
So they have setup right here, they brought us the tea
and we have to fill this out
For this, uh, section right here 'Daily skincare Ritual'
I'm doing everything right
So Sulwhasoo is very popular because
they use very rich ginseng ingredients in their products
and they would give me a very...
I dont know how to explain this tea but it taste like
something Sulwhasoo would have
We're about to go in for the treatment
just take a look at this, it's just so aesthetically pleasing
I'm closing the blinds
But look at this
It's so nice in here
So I just ended my treatment
and now I get to try all of their makeup products
in their powder room, and they're also bringing
tea and cookies for me
So here are all their makeup products
We have some lipsticks
I wonder what this is
think this is... 'essential balm'
and then their cushions, I actually really like their cushions
So I'm gonna use this today
But take a look at my skin it got so - oh wait, sorry
Take a look at my skin it got so much brighter
and, um, I got the calming treatment
because I have acne scars and redness
and it really helped out
I'm like really amazed by it
Here's the cushion, the Perfecting Cushion in Intense
I actually haven't tried this before but
the Perfecting Cushion in Brightening is actually
one of my top 3 cushions
So I'm going to try this out
I'm gonna use my puff
The coverage is amazing as expected, um
I love the Sulwhasoo because it's very moisturising aswell, so
I had to use my puff because
I just didn't wanna use theirs
Let's try using their blush
I'm gonna use it in number 2 coral because
I prefer coral blushers over pink so,
It looks like that
Actually it looks more yellow on camera does it
But it's mixed with pink so
it's very very pretty
Alright...
Um...
Let's use a mist
They have so many lipsticks to choose from
The packaging is so luxurious, I think I'm gonna go with this one
It's a lip serum stick
Oh, so there's color and serum
actually this is too dark for me
so I'm gonna go for something a little lighter
Okay let's just go with this
Ooh so, I'm guessing the concept for their products is a serum
It's a moisturising lipstick
Yeah, lip serum
Okay, I'm gonna put on some hand cream now
They have two, one's plum and one's...
peach
Yeah I'm gonna go for the plum
It just smells so so good
And that's it
No eyeliner, I'm just gonna go, like this
But it was a very cool experience
I wish, um
it wasn't so expensive
We're now going to tour the flagship store
This is the main entrance
Wow look at how luxurious all the display is
They have all the products
beautifully displayed right here
Second floor, we have more products displayed
This is such pretty packaging
Ooh yes,
this is one of my favourite cushions
this is in Brightening
I love how Sulwhasoo comes out in more colors
I think up til 25?
23...
33? Oh,
There's darker cushions available
Let's see
Oh they have 33
Wow, I had no idea
Oh that's cool
And then we used these earlier
Here we have their skincare display
This cream is 80,000 won
It's very expensive
But this cream right here
cost 650,00 won
Just look at that
It has it's own display
Here is their very popular first care activating serum
Um, I think this is just like
by your sign
So this one would be me, the sheep
So, you're the dragon
so all of that
That's really cute
This is the line my Mom loves to use
She loves the toner and the lotion
because they're very gentle
She likes the serum as well
the eye cream, you guys all know where this one rates
so you guys can click up there for that review
And she recently fell in love with this cream
because it's extremely moisurizing
She likes this better than the
Innisfree Orchid cream
This is the third floor
and it's just
I guess you can have like classes here
And they have a display of candles
Check out this mirror room
All of this
for that product
That's awesome
This is so Korea, alright, let's go check out
the other room
How do I get out?
Alright
I'm back home now and I want to apologize for the unorganization of this vlog
I was just all over the place and I didn't really focus on vlogging too much today
This morning I had a meeting with Olivia, who you guys have met before,
She's from DIA TV,
A lot of you guys have questions about DIA TV
so I might do like a seperate Q&A on that in the future
So if you guys have any questions,
ask me on Twitter using #joanday
and I'll try my best to answer all the questions that you guys have about my management company,
because it's a question that I get asked very often.
So... Anyways, so today I had a meeting with her and the Korean tourism organization,
and it was very exciting because I always wanted to work with tourism agencies,
because, I mean, I vlog every single day, I try my best to go to the hottest spots in Seoul,
and I thought it would be like a very good opportunity
um... but the person ended up not coming
It became, like, she wanted us there to help us tour one of their guests
which is fine, because it was focused on K-beauty
which is something I love to talk about,
so I went to Myeongdong with her and I went to,
basically a lot of the flagship stores that I've been to before,
so I didn't vlog it because I felt like it would have been too repetitive if I showed you guys again
But it was a really great time. She is actually a writer,
so she came to Korea for the purpose of diving into K-beauty
and I had a lot of fun today.
So, something I did during the day was we got a massage,
and we went to the Sulwhasoo flagship store, which was beautiful
and I made an effort to vlog there, because I never vlogged it before
I mean, I've been there before but I didn't daily vlog at the time, so um...
I've really wanted to show you guys, because that store is gorgeous,
I mean, it's so different from Innisfree, Skinfood, Stylenanda,
because it just looks like a luxurious brand that is sold at Nordstrom because of all the gold,
and all the products were very, very soft and gentle,
it's one of my mom's favorite Korean skin care brands
Sorry, I talked a lot today trying to explain a lot of the skin care,
But, yeah it was really fun, the facial was amazing, it was just like, a very different experience
but at the same time, because I go in for regurlar treatments at Troiareuke,
I was so used to the massage and all the rubber masks, so
It was really fun, it was a really fun experience, I just felt like I failed the vlog
because I didn't... Like, there was no transition in the vlog today, I don't know
I haven't even edited it, but I feel like without this explanation it would just be way too confusing,
so I decided to come home and tell you guys what the purpose of the vlog was, I guess?
So I'm sorry if it confused you guys, but the Sulwhasoo flagship store was what I wanted to vlog for you
and I hope you guys enjoyed that part of the vlog,
and I'll be linking links to like, how you can go to certain spots
I mean, Sulwhasoo is very expensive but I think it's definitely a spot that you should check out
because it's beautiful,very Instragram worthy, there is a selfie room where i took a picture
and uploaded today actually.
And that area actually sells a lot of high end brands as well,
so I think it would be, like, a cool experience to walk around.
But, yeah, it's very expensive, I'm warning you now
The treatment that I got today was worth 110,000 KRW, so it's very expensive
It's much more expensive than Troiareuke, and Troiareuke does two hours for a little cheaper than that,
so... It's definitely worth it for first time though
because the writer that I was with, she loved the experience and she was basically saying that
it's so much cheaper, well it's not so much cheaper,
but it is cheaper than the treatments that she's gotten before in America
So, I mean if it is your cup of tea you guys should definitely check it out
I hope you guys still enjoyed watching the vlog, I know it might have been confusing in the beginning,
but I really appreciate you guys' support,
you guys are so supportive and it really encourages me to vlog more
I know today was a bit of a fail,
but I really had a good time just meeting someone for the very first time
and just talking about, like, Korean beauty with her
and sharing what I know, and relaying the message to her so I hope it was helpful for her
and, yeah, I will try my best to share more skin care videos on my main channel,
so, yeah, stay tuned for that
Sorry, it's currently like 10 o'clock so I'm really tired,
so I'm gonna get some rest, I have to wake up early again tomorrow, but
It should be a fun day
I'll see you guys in tomorrow's vlog, have a good day!
Bye!
