Korean Makeup & Skincare Package!!! (Part 1)

So before I dive into the main topic of this post, I need to give you a little background info so you can understand a little more about me and my family situation. I have a twin sister named Suzy and we were born in South Korea, but our mother had to give us up for adoption (our father left when we were born). After spending about two years in an orphanage, we were adopted by a white couple and brought to live in the United States (California), where we have lived ever since.

A picture of us, either at the orphanage or after coming to the US. Sorry the picture is crappy, it's in a picture frame still. Can you guess which one is me?

(To be honest, I still don't know which one I am! :P)

Anyways, so although growing up with another family our entire lives, we were always curious to find our birth mother but never had any luck. Well last June, I think, I got a message on Facebook from some girl that I didn't know, and I didn't even bother reading it for awhile, but I didn't delete it either. Then one day I was going through my inbox and came across this email so I finally read it and it literally handed me the biggest shock of my life! As it turns out, the girl who had sent me the email was our older sister that we never knew existed! Apparantly she was around three years old when we were given up for adoption (our mother couldn't afford to raise 3 kids on her own), and had been searching for us for a long, long time, and found my profile on Facebook! It was such a huge surprise! Well to make a long story short, her (oh, her name is Jina) and our mother flew to California last August and we got to meet for the first time and it was the most wonderful experience in my life! But unfortunately they had to go back to S. Korea which was super sad and I miss them everyday :) But it's also nice because now we can chat and email and send each other things, which is where this post is headed, I swear :)

Here's a couple of pictures from when they visited, do we look like we're related? :) This is at the San Francisco airport

Jina's baby, who is the freaking cutest kid ever!!!

At Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco (the guy behind me is my boyfriend, the other guy is Suzy's husband)

The 3 of us, Jina, Suzy, and me, got tattoos of all 3 of our names before they left, mine is the one on top, then Suzy's, and Jina's is on her thumb

Oh, and this is my son Aden, he is two years and 3 months old. This was right before I shaved all his hair off on accident! :P

Okay, so now that you are up to speed on my background, I can tell you where I was headed with this. About a little over a week ago I was IM'ing with Jina and we were talking about how I wanted to try Korean cosmetics and skincare products because I didn't know where to buy it here besides online and I heard so many good things about it. She said she would buy me some and I said okay, but I told her to wait until I gave her money. Well the other day I came home from school and there was a package from Korea waiting for me, which could only be from Jina! She didn't listen very well when I told her to wait for money, huh? :P But that's just how she is, super sweet and generous!

If you want to see what's in the package she sent me, continue on to Part 2

(there are 3 parts total, sorry!)
