Korean Beauty Haul | Jolse & Memebox

As I've mentioned before, I'm catching up on my hauls from this year before the year is over.  So this time it is a Korean beauty haul from Jolse and Memebox.  For those that don't know, Jolse and Memebox are two well know places where you can purchase a variety of Korean beauty and skincare products.  Memebox is based in San Francisco while Jolse is from Korea.  There are pros and cons to both of the websites, but I will get into that in a future post about where I've purchased Korean products from before.  

I honestly don't remember when these were purchased but I think it's from the second half of this year.  These are all the products that I've been dying to get my hands on for a while now and I decided to grab them while the websites had some sort of sales on them.

First up is this little tool from Etude House called the Lovely Etti Hair Band.  If any one has ever searched the rasianbeauty hashtag on instagram before, I'm sure you've come across a handful of people wearing these head bands with cat ears sticking out of them while doing some sort of face mask.  These things are so adorable and I've been lusting after them for a while.  I purchased this off of Jolse when they had a sale... for Labor Day I believe.  I decided to grab one for myself and one for my sister since my grandfather now calls her "meow meow."

The Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask was purchased off of Memebox.  This is another product that has been raved about in the rasianbeauty community and I just had to try it out for myself.  It is a clay mask that bubbles when exposed to oxygen (or something like that).  So when you apply a clay mask on but it starts to bubble on your face.  The Holika Holika Soda PoreCleansing Oxygen Bubble Mask was just something I was curious about.  I haven't seen it on a lot of other website and saw it on Jolse so I decided to grab it before I can't find it anywhere anymore.  I think the reason I was really curious about this was I really want to clean my pores and try to get rid of some blackheads, and I was curious on how it compares with the Elizavecca clay mask.

As usual, you get a variety of samples with your purchases.  I am really happy to see that I have another sample of the TonyMoly Panda's Dream White Hand Cream!  I actually really like the scent of it and will definitely purchase a full size of it in the future.

Have you guys tried any of these products before?  What is the latest product you've purchased that you're excited about?

Beautynetkorea Haul #2

Today I am here with a SUPER old haul from beautynetkorea.  How old you ask?  Well I made the order back in mid-February... Yah I'm just catching up with my hauls from 2015 before the year ends... 

Like I've mentioned in my first haul, the shipping for this website is free but that means the prices are a little bit higher than websites that don't offer free shipping.  The products are shipped directly from Korea, which means it takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks to get here (California).  I think that's the only con of buying from these websites that ships directly from Korea; I want these products to play with immediately!

The products I purchased:

• Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot One Shot Feeling
• Secret Key Gold Premium First Eye Patch
• TonyMoly BCDATION in shade Natural Beige
• Welcos Merit Killing Me Zombie CC Cream Set
• TonyMoly Panda's Dream Eye Patch
• Holika Holika Pig Nose Clear Black Head Perfect Sticker

As with almost any Korean product purchases, I got a handful of free samples!

• TonyMoly Panda's Dream Eye Patch
• Holika Holika Wine Therapy Sleeping Mask in Red Wine
• TonyMoly Intense Care Dual Effect Sleeping Pack
• Missha Time Revolution Immortal Youth Cream
• TonyMoly Panda's Dream White Hand Cream
• Skinfood Broccoli Toner

Is it sad to say I've only tried two things out of the whole haul?  I've tried the eye patch several times and I can't really say how I feel about it yet because the scent bothers me to the point where I can only have it on my face for several minutes before I take it off.  And the other thing I tried was the sample of TonyMoly hand cream (whch you'll see in my upcoming empties post), and I really like it to the point where I almost purchased it at Sephora for a lot more than I would have paid for on beautynetkorea.  

What are some of Korean skincare/make up things you guys have picked up recently and how are you liking them?

Beautynetkorea Haul #1

Yet another Korean skincare/makeup haul.  I can't guarantee this will be the last one, since I already have another one lined up in my queue, but this one featured products I couldn't find on roseroseshop when I purchased from them earlier this year.  This is another website, beautynetkorea, which I like a little bit more than roseroseshop only because it offers free shipping.  But I will most likely do a review and comparison on the two websites in the future!

The shipment for this order was a bit faster than that of roseroseshop.  I believe I ordered it at the end of January and received it in mid-February.

The products that I purchased:

• It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector
• Aritaum Honey Melting Tint in Bitter Rose
• Aritaum Honey Melting Tint in Raspberry Cake

One thing I really like about beautynetkorea is that they give you a lot of samples!  From this order, I received:

• TonyMoly Panda's Dream Eye Patch
• TonyMoly Moisture Cream
• TonyMoly Intense Care Dual Effect Sleeping Pack
• TonyMoly I'm Real Seaweed Aqua Moisture Lotion
• TonyMoly I'm Real Lemon Brightening Lotion 
• TonyMoly I'm Real Aloe Soothing Lotion

I'm really excited and have already started using the It's Skin Power 10 VC Effector!  I really enjoyed ordering from beautynetkorea and have already placed and received another order so that haul will be coming up soon!

What are some of your favorite Korean products you would recommend?

Roseroseshop Haul

About two months ago, actually two months ago, I made an order on roseroseshop for some products I've been lusting over for a while.  For those who are unfamiliar with the website, they sell a ton of Korean beauty and skincare products at a competitive price.  The prices on this website is the cheapest I've seen from all the other websites, but the only down side is that you have to pay for shipping and shipping costs quite a bit.  

I made the order on Jan 6th and received the products around Jan 30th, which is reasonable since they are shipping it all the way from Korea.  I will most likely do a shop review and/or comparison with another shop in a bit so I will go over the details of the website along with customer service then.  

They had a huge selection of sample products you can purchase.  I went a little crazy and purchased a lot of masks and sleeping packs.  I purchased:

• Tonymoly Intense Care Dual Effect Sleeping Pack Samples
• Too Cool For School Pumpkin Sleeping Pack Samples
• Tonymoly Intense Care Snail Hand Cream Sample
• Holika Holika White Wine Therapy Sleeping Pack Samples
• Banila Co Clean It Zero Samples
• Etude House Play Therapy Sleeping Pack + Soft Clay Pack Samples
• Skinfood Royal Honey Mask Samples
• Skinfood Rice Mask Wash Off Samples
• Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off Samples
• Etude House I Need You, Hyaluronic Acid Mask Sheet Samples
• Etude House I Need You, Tea Tree Mask Sheet Samples

I've literally been eyeing these lip products for the longest time.  I'm so happy I finally got a hold of them!

• It's Skin Macaron Lip Balm in Pineapple
• Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Balm
• Tonymoly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar in Juicy Cherry

I've also been itching to purchase some of the more popular products.

• Mizon Sanil Recovery Gel Cream
• It's Skin Power 10 Formula VB Effector
• Mizon Good Night White Sleeping Mask

And finally the main reason why I made the order in the first place... for these babies!

• Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream
• Mizon UV Mild Sun Block

I'm so excited I found some affordable places to buy Korean skincare and beauty product!  Have you tried heard of or tried any of these products before?

Collective Haul | February 2015

Sooo.... I failed again.  I know I said I was on a spending ban earlier this month and I failed quite miserably.  I think I'm just addicted to buying things and it's starting to get serious (not even joking!).  But anyways, I thought I picked up some pretty awesome things throughout the month of February so I thought I'd share them with you!

I'm surprised to see that I have some diversity in my haul.  Usually I tend to buy two of everything, so I am happy that wasn't the case here.

Soo, the products I looted throughout the last 20some-odd-days are:

• Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion for Dry Skin
• Goody Boar Hair Brush
• Conair Bun Maker set
• Laneige Hydration Trial Kit
• Tonymoly Mini Cherry Lip Balm
• Revlon Bordeaux Nail Polish
• It Cosmetics CC+ Lip Serum
• Origins Clear Improvement Activated Charcoal Mask
• Dior Creme De Rose

Although I didn't purchase that many items, a handful of these items were pretty pricy.  I don't know what I was thinking, probably thought I was fancy or something, when I purchased those high end products, but I'm actually really enjoying them! (*cough* Dior and It Cosmetics *cough*)  I'm going to try to justify my high end purchases by saying that it was my birthday month and I was spoiling myself, but I'm pretty sure it was just the shopaholic in me.  

Anyways, I really need to get on that spending ban.  I think I'm going to go on a 30 day spending ban in March so that I can purchase some things in April when Sephora has their sale... And hopefully this time I'll succeed.  *fingers crossed* 

What are some of the products you guys have purchased lately?

PS: Sephora now carries 8 different Tonymoly products!  How exciting!
