I got overwhelmed last time and didn’t do a haul lol but this trip I only got some favorites

2025/11/15 Edited to

On my recent trip to South Korea, I focused on bringing back some of my all-time favorite Korean products rather than an overwhelming haul. One standout treat was the Korean seaweed called Park Hyang Hee DA, known for its premium quality and delicious taste. This seaweed is easily found in popular stores like Lotte Mart and Hmart, making it a convenient souvenir packed with authentic flavor. Also included in my haul was Yulmu tea, a sweet, nutty, and creamy beverage that’s becoming a staple in Korean households. This tea, which I bought from Hmart, has a soothing quality and is perfect for chilly days. I made sure to bring back some leftovers from my hotel stash because it’s that good! In terms of skincare, I picked up some essentials during this trip, such as the Cara Body Mist and the Cica Care body mist from brands like Smeblossom and House of Dohwa. These products are popular for their moisturizing and soothing effects, ideal for maintaining healthy skin through seasonal changes. For nail enthusiasts, I visited the Nail Mall in Gangnam, a hotspot for unique nail polish options. I found syrup gel colors and a magnet gel that aren’t available in New York, so I brought my own polish to the salon to try them out in style. When it came to fashion, I discovered my new favorite Korean brand, OSTKAKA, based in Seongsu. Their fall and winter clothing collection was absolutely stunning, offering stylish and cozy options that reflect the latest Korean trends. Lastly, I didn’t forget some instant tea bags like the Oden broth, which adds a comforting, traditional touch to quick meals at home. All in all, my trip’s highlights centered on quality over quantity, ensuring I brought back meaningful and useful Korean favorites that I truly love and recommend for anyone interested in Korean culture, beauty, and fashion.
