I actually bought this from my school's bookstore a little more than a month ago since it was a requirement. We were given three papers to write our reader response journal in, one for chapters 1-10, one for chapters 11-20, and the last one for chapters 21-31. For the first month, I actually found the book uninteresting and boring, since I couldn't get past the first chapter at all. But when our teacher introduced a comprehension check this week, I began to get serious and started reading it. I started over again; began taking down notes and reading summaries every day before the comprehensive check so that I'm prepared. Our teacher also told us to make connections in the text; either from our life experiences or other books we've read. I approached the book that way and found myself enjoying it all throughout. I noticed how chapters 1-10 reminded me of my early childhood in elementary school and chapters 11-20 about some other texts I read before (I haven't reached chapters 21-31 by the time I'm writing this). Like what people said, this book is either a hit or a miss. It was a hit for me if you can't already tell.

if you guys can't maybe afford the 'little book of skincare' by charlotte cho or you just couldn't find the book anywhere, this book is a perfect substitute! this book provides the similar information about the steps and it's a bit cheaper as well! the only downside is that it doesn't really talk about Korean brands and spas unlike the 'little book of skincare'. i still recommend reading this book if you're curious about K-Beauty.
