Brow pencil lesson for one raised brow at Gangnam Station: Minjei

Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch is a brow design studio near Gangnam Station on the Shinbundang Line in Seocho, Seoul. After a brow-cut punch card never gave the writer brows that suited their face, one Minjei Makeup visit covered face shape analysis, brow design with a razor and scissors, and a pencil brow makeup lesson. Minjei Makeup also corrected the writer's habit of lifting the right brow and their brow asymmetry, and the writer's own drawing the next day looked far better than before, so learning there was well worth it.

Songpa lash salon: no-glue lash lift for sensitive eyes at Lash Doll

Lash Doll is a lash salon on basement level 1 of the SK V1 building at Munjeong Station in Songpa, Seoul. The writer wears contact lenses every day and has sensitive eyes, so she had a no-glue lash lift at Lash Doll during her office lunch break before taking ID photos, and it was so comfortable and irritation-free that she fell asleep during the treatment. The curl came out as tightly lifted as she asked and still looked good a week later, making Lash Doll a satisfying visit.

Catching up over 4 coffees at Eojil In, a Wangsimni dessert café

Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch is a two-story café and dessert shop in an alley by Exit 6 of Wangsimni Station in Seongdong, Seoul. A quick coffee with friends before a dinner date turned into chocolate cake, an egg tart and four coffees as the conversation ran long. The chocolate cake, with cream that isn't too sweet, was good enough to come back for.
