One of the things I like about Korean magazines are the freebies that they give away. I remember when I was in Korea last year, they were actually giving away a potted plant! Singapore magazines have gotten into that act in recent years but they normally give away bags, scarves and sometimes sunglasses. They’re ok, but not terribly exciting.
Ever since I started bringing in Korean magazines, I have always looked forward each month to see what the freebies are and some of them have been amazing—full size lipstick, handheld vacuum, sneakers and even boots! I kid you not. Plastic, colourful boots.
Anyway, back to the freebies. Oh! Actually, the Korean magazines don’t call them freebies. they call them presents. haha! Sounds better right?
Personally, i would have preferred it in green or yellow but I guess white is universal and easier to match….
Ecole magazine is giving away 2 items- a hooded top and a set of sample size shampoo/conditioner.
A friend was just commenting today that she would be tempted to try the shampoo as the ad by Cho In Sung and Ha Ji Won is quite good. I guess in this case, the advertisement did really worked.
Well, I won’t be rushing out to buy this shampoo but if it was Bae Yong Joon on the product, then that’s a different story…. haha!
But more than the freebies, I am also often fascinated by the fashion spreads inside…
I really like the colorful tank top and it being paired with the shorts. Nicely casual. But alas, don’t think I’m young enough to carry off this look… sigh… However I like the vintage look too….and this style I can take because I ‘vintage’ enough. hahaha!
And these 2 pages…. haha! all my shoe lovers friends will be drooling over them…
Must say I’m not easily seduced by shoes….not because I don’t like them. But because I can’t buy shoes off the rack as they have to be custom made… But it’s still a thrill to pour over them. Nice right? It’s summer now in Korea, hence the spread on sandals, I guess.
Sigh…. makes me want to go shopping in Korea…..
