Moving out of the Philippines have it’s advantages and disadvantages.
And oh boy, one of the disadvantages is not having easy access to cheaper, larger variety of Korean skin care products!
Lucky for me when I was still in the Philippines (and until now, when I know someone who would visit or come back to the US lol), I know a place to buy products at almost the same SRP as in Korea. They even have less popular (and often better!) brands!
Welcome to SMYLEE or SaeliYuriMelissaLee’s All About Korean Cosmetics and Skin Care
The owner is a classmate of mine since elementary (until college lol). She moved to Korea several years ago and started selling Korean beauty products. I’m one of her first customers and I still find ways to buy stuff from her until now.
When my aunt who lives in Alaska went to visit the Philippines for the holidays, I asked her if she could bring back some stuff that I will buy in the Philippines to the US. She agreed.
Below is my haul from SMYLEE
At SMYLEE, you have to choose an “angel” who are like your Avon Ladies. Mine is a former school mate from my hometown (Olongapo City, Philippines)
I will talk more about my haul on my next post 🙂
