Fact 1, I’m a huge fan of Korean Cosmetics, actually, everything-Korean! ;-D Fact 2, I had a devoted blog site of my fleeting crazy ramblings of Jang Geun Suk, oh well, until I realized that I can’t be just a noona or even his ahjumma forever, more so that Sukkie is getting prettier every time. I said this before, there’s just so little chance of making him my jagiya even in the drama land (I know right, dream away! ;-D No bashing please. But I really do like him even in his pre-A.N.JELL days in Beethoven’s Virus) Fact 3, I’m sold to going all-natural in my skin care, especially that I really do lavishly bathe my skin with them almost all the time. Nature Republic, the latest Korean Beauty brand is making its debut in what is now a highly competitive arena amidst competing Korean Beauty Brands. And it’s feeding all my addiction, even my capriciousness for that matter. Last November 11 (11.11.11), they inaugurated their third branch in the county, SM Fairview. Yes, come hell or high water, I made sure not to miss it.

Awww…Jang Geun Suk’s Eels will fall in love with these! Nature Republic’s main spokesperson and endorser is the popular Korean and International actor and heartthrob Jang Geun Suk (JGS/Sukkie to his fans ;-D), whose following not only spans his own body of artistic work but the products he personally vouches for, particularly, NATURE REPUBLIC. He’s also joined by Goo Hara, Park gyuri and Kang Jiyoung of KARA.

Nature Republic Snail Therapy lines come highly recommended. And I know first hand, the goodness of snail mucin. Escargot love! ;-D In this line is the popular Snail Therapy Hydro Gel Mask, that utilizes the benefits of mucin (the healing and moisture-retaining extract from snails), antioxidants, and other high quality therapeutic ingredients to intensify the moisturizing process and improve skin elasticity, is an innovative product while in keeping with NATURE REPUBLIC’s the from earth principle.

There’s so much to see. I don’t want to preempt your trips. So I daresay that Nature Republic offers me one of the best retail therapy, and if your a big Hallyu fan, I say that a visit is in order. So many freebies even. The products are also at a very friendly price. And if you get their membership/discount card, your next visits guarantee you 10% off. They have a branch in Festival Mall, SM North Edsa, and SM Fairview.
