Hong Kong: Day 1

Today was our first full day in Hong Kong and we got off to a bit of a late started. Lauren and I had woken up earlier than the others, so we decided to walk around a bit and we eagerly went into Sasa, Hong Kong's premier beauty store—think Ricky's, but less edgy. We sampled their perfume (Lauren and I both like Burberry Summer) and ended up in the makeup section—both desperate for concealer. There were only two options (beige and natural) and we were both, somewhat surprisingly, the beige color, even though we're both fairly pale. So, we asked the sales girl (who was wearing so much makeup she looked like a geisha) if that was the right color for us, and she agreed. Then it was time to meet the group for dim sum.
 After our dim sum, we decided to go to the Mong Kok ladies market, which three of Lauren and my collective friends had told us to go. The ladies market isn't just for women, it's a giant outdoor market on this one street in Mong Kok with mostly knock offs, but also cheap clothing, luggage, jade, some shoes, lots of purses, etc. I ended up getting two little Domo pouches and a Goyard purse and coin purse. The domo pouches were 38hkd ($4.89) and the Goyard stuff was 350hkd ($45) altogether. They also sold Tory Burch shoes that looked so real! But, they were nearly the price of the real thing. Perhaps another day.
