What's your beauty shopping budget for a Korea trip?
Planning a Korea trip always brings up the same question: "How much should I set aside for beauty shopping?" On travel forums, the answers are all over the place.
The usual types:
- The list-maker: decides in advance what to buy and brings only that amount. Fewer impulse buys
- The browser: says testing in-store is the whole fun of shopping in Korea, so leaves plenty of room
- The gift-giver: buys more for friends than for themselves, so goes for light, multi-pack items like sheet masks
- The suitcase-limited: hits the luggage weight limit before the budget
Tips that keep coming up:
- Prices change with sales and in-store promotions, so compare instead of buying everything in one place
- Checking whether a shop does instant tax refunds changes the maths a bit
- If you're buying lots of liquids, check baggage rules ahead of time
Which type are you? And once you were there, how far over (or under) budget did you actually go?
