DECEMBER HAUL: TesterKorea, eBay, & Fortune Cookie Soap!

Hello again lovies. With the recent unfortunate news, I was unable to really do anything on my blog. I'm seriously backed up on posts that need to get done, so I'm hoping to do a few within the next few days for you all. Thank you all for being so supportive of me. The last blog post I posted meant a lot to myself & many friends who knew him well. Now, it's time to be as positive as possible. ^^

You know me & my addiction to TesterKorea, so while they were holding their New Years sale, I took FULL advantage of it. The one lipstick that is in this photo that I didn't get with this order I will address after going through all the items from this TesterKorea order.

NOVEMBER HAUL: BeautyNetKorea, TesterKorea, Kpoptown, Lime Crime, & eBay!

Hello my lovies! I put in some work this November & bought a good amount of stuff. I finally have received everything I ordered last month & have decided to compile it into one post. 

As you can see from the top banner, I purchased a lot of Etude Houses new Princess Etoinette line, which I'm super excited to review for you. 

Let's get into my haul for the last month!

BeautyNetKorea

From L - R:

Etude House - Play Color Eyes - #2 So Chic Play [ x ]

Mizon - Snail Recovery Gel Cream [ x ]

Etude House - Princess Etoinette All Over Powder [ x ]

Etude House - Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips in shade #PBE102 & #PPK005 [ x ]

Various samples, mostly Etude with the exception of a mini Tony Moly Cat Chu Wink Lip Tint

This was probably the first website that had almost all of the Princess Etoinette collection. I almost didn't get the nude color from the Etoinette collection. I was planning to get the red colored lipstick, but made the assumption I wouldn't really wear that color. BEST DECISION EVER!

Kpoptown

Etude House - Princess Etoinette Eau De Toilette & Mirror [ x ]

I decided on a whim that I really wanted the perfume out of the collection, & it was a bonus that it came with the Princess Etoinette mirror.

eBay

Etude House - Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base

Got the full sized product since I ran out of the samples I bought a few months back.

TesterKorea

From L - R:

Holika Holika - Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Oil [ x ]

The Saem - Peeling So Good Strawberry Yogurt Moisture Pack & Peeling [ x ]

Etude House - Dear My Blooming Eyes in Shade #OR201 [ x ]

Various Samples.

I'd been eyeing up the BB Cleansing Oil for quite sometime & decided it was finally time to get it. The Strawberry Yogurt Mask is a substitute for a Laneige product. I was also eyeing up the palette as well. I had a few credits when I bought these, so I'm really happy I got all of this for less than $20.

Lime Crime

Lime Crime Velvetines in Red Velvet & Pink Velvet [ x ]

I already purchased Suedeberry months back & Lime Crime was having an awesome Black Friday sale going on. The website was having so many issues while I was trying to purchase these since they are in such high demand, but with a little patience & persistence, I was able to successfully add both to my cart & purchase within 30 minutes. They were on sale for $14 & had a promo code for another 30% off the entire order!

Ahh, so much! Probably one of the biggest hauls I've made in the last few months. I have another one already planned for next month thanks to TesterKorea having an awesome sale going on. I'd take advantage before the 20th arrives.

Hope you've enjoyed my haul! <3

Have a wonderful day!

REVIEW: Baviphat Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack!

Good morning lovelies! Hope you've had a wonderful weekend. I did a little more moving & cleaning. I'm almost done! I'm so happy. I did a bunch of organizing in my new room this weekend & I'm so pleased! I also did some DIY projects to make my room more girly & pretty! 

I've had Baviphat's Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack for awhile now, so I definitely have used enough of this product to get a general idea of what this product does for my skin. It's my first official sleeping pack. I bought it since I heard it was good for clearing up acne pretty well. I don't have a lot of acne ( pimples ), just a good amount of blackheads on my nose, which never seem to go away, but every so often, I'll get a random breakout.

The back on the product packaging. There isn't any English directions, so I pulled some from TesterKoreas website.

[ DESCRIPTION ]

Baviphat Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack

It's apple therapy for soothing trouble skin.

Easy care to trouble skin and remove dead skin. Soothing a trouble and make your skin smooth and bright.

[ HOW TO USE ]

Evenly apply a suitable amount onto the face before sleeping and wash off with warm water in the next morning.

The sleeping pack comes in a cute, apple shaped packaging with a leaf. Super cute!

Opening the container, you see that it has a divider that separates the product from getting on the lid as well as a small spoon/spatula. 

The sleeping pack is a apple core yellow color & smells exactly like apples, much similar to the Tony Moly Red Appletox Honey Cream I reviewed last week. [ x ] Seems I'm having apple fever!

It doesn't leave a color to your face, but I find that it does tend to feel a tacky once applied. However, it doesn't transfer to my pillow during the night since I tend to apply it way before I initially go to bed.

For awhile, I stopped using this sleeping pack bc I was traveling a lot, but I picked it back up & have seen a wonderful improvement in the way my pimples clear up. I just had a pretty nice pimple on my chin. Two days ago, it was red & a little filled with nastiness, but while using this sleeping pack, it has cleared up quite well! 

Overall, I'd have to give this a 5/5. I keep running into products that I fall in love with!

MINI-REVIEW: Tony Moly Red Appletox Honey Cream!

Good morning darlings! TGIF! I've still got a pretty buys weekend ahead of me, but I'm ready for it to be all over. Last night I stubbed my toe trying to move a panel to another spot in a room. IT HURRRRTS! D: I'm okay though :)

Today, I'll be reviewing the samples of Tony Moly's Redd Appletox Honey Cream I bought my first haul from TesterKorea. I debated on getting a full sized container of this, but since I haven't finished off my Holika Hoilka Water March Moisture Full Cream [ x ], I decided against getting it. If you read my review on the Water March Cream, you know it didn't really suit my face as well as other moisturizers. 

[ FIRST IMPRESSIONS ]

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture what the product actually looks like [ with my own camera ], but it's a slightly more honey yellow color. It smells exactly like apples. YUMMY. It has a really smooth & gel-like consistency. This cream isn't sticky at all, as you would expect with Honey in it's name, it would be. I found that it easy absorbs into my skin & leaves my skin feelings amazingly moisturized! Like I'm so upset that I've used all the samples up. D:

Verdict: PURCHASE

I think once I'm completely done with the Water March Cream, I'll end up buying this. I'd like to buy it now, but I honestly don't wanna waste the other moisturizer I have while using this particular one. I love this moisturizer. Love it so so SOO much. It'll be on my wishlist for awhile until I'm about 3/4ths done with my other moisturizer, which by the way, I've been using & I have used about half of the jar so far [ go me! ].

REVIEW: Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream!

Good morning my lovelies. Another Monday morning to get through. I haven't been feeling very well as of recent, but I'm going to be positive & push through whatever is internally happening to me. I think I'm just going crazy! LOL :3 Today, I'll be Mizon's Snail Recovery Gel Cream!

Now I know how much this product has been reviewed & raved about, so, OF COURSE, I had to try this out for myself. However, I didn't buy it for getting rid of wrinkles, bc I don't have any wrinkles on my face now. I bought it for wrinkle prevention. I believe getting started early to prevent any types of wrinkles will definitely benefit me as I age. It's never too late to start early!

I'm assuming this fancy sticker that holds the box top means that this is a real Mizon product, as I've heard there are replicas of some Korean cosmetics.

[ DESCRIPTION ] 

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream

[ Containing of SNAIL SECRETION FILTRATE 74% ]

[ DIRECTIONS ]

Apply an appropriate amount on face after cleansing, dabbing until absorbed.

The packaging is super pink & simple. It also has a seal on the tube to prevent any germs from getting into the gel, so I highly advise if the seal is broken to not use this product.

I bet you're wondering why you would put snail secretions on your face. A little research shows that filtrated snail secretions are actually beneficial to your skin. It didn't weird me out much at all since you're always taking a gamble with products you're putting onto your skin. 

Like I previously said, I bought this for the prevention of any wrinkles I may get as I age, but what I've noticed while using this product, is that it clears my current breakouts, including blackheads, keeps other breakouts from happening, as well as toning down the redness of my skin. 

The get doesn't have any distinct coloring to it, & it absorbs into the skin amazingly well. The scent is light, but I honestly couldn't tell you what it smells like. Unless that's what a snail smells like, then I couldn't really put my finger on it.

Overall, I do believe this is a wonderful product to have in your skin care regime, morning & night time, so either fight already existing wrinkles, or to prevent any wrinkles from happening to your skin. 

I'd have to give this a super 5/5.

If you want to try this out for yourself:

HAUL: eBay Sellers Cosmeticmarket2012 & 1st_global_fashion!

Good morning darlings! Hope your weekend was amazing. My knee is feeling a lot better, & I was able to attend my godson's birthday party. I have another haul for you today. I originally wanted to put both my Kpoptown.com haul & eBay haul together, but I ended up needing to post one since all my eBay items didn't come in before I posted.

My first package comes from the seller cosmeticmarket2012. I've purchased many times from this eBay seller & I recommend this seller to everyone I come across that asks who or where I buy from. Here are the products:

cosmeticmarket2012 Store

- Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar in shade 05 Peach ( USD $5.55 )

- Tony Moly Latte Art Cappuccino-Cream in Scrub ( USD $9.33 )

- Baviphat Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack ( USD $9.88 )

- Loads of freebies.

Shipping is free on all items & the seller combines the products into one package ( I asked just in case ) when you buy. The items come in a brown box that's quite sturdy. None of the items packaging is damaged. As for how long shipping takes, I'd say I've waited around 2 weeks or less for my packages, even without having accurate tracking. Each packages has always come a few days before the estimated delivery time states. I'd probably purchase from this seller before going to any other seller, hands down. The prices are always low. Not as low as some other sellers, but considering how fast shipping is, I cannot complain one bit.

My second package come from the seller 1st_global_market. I think what drew me to this seller was the fact that the products prices are set at a very low price. Here are the products:

1st_global_fashion Store

- Tony Moly Clean Dew Broccoli Sprout Cleansing Cream ( USD $10.95 )

- Tony Moly Tomatox Magic Massage Pack ( USD $7.99 )

- Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in shade #PK001 ( USD $7.18 )

I was extremely excited to receive this. Shipping is also free on all items & items are combined in one package as well. Instead of a brown box, I got my items in a grey plastic package. Not very sturdy as the packaging of the items were a little messed up, but nothing I can't overlook. The prices, like I said, are very low. The seller does not include free samples with purchase, but I don't mind that either. Also, tracking is available. not very accurate or updated, but according to my tracking, my package was in the States on the 6th of this month. So nothing to bad. Definitely another seller I would recommend to anyone who asks.

Overall, I do enjoy buying from eBay. Could you get these items on Amazon? Yes, I'm sure, but I'm not a fan of Amazon at all. I've always bought my items off of eBay unless I had to buy on Amazon for another reason. No hate towards Amazon, I just don't like how they make you believe you're getting something for a low price & they hit you with the tax as you reach the page. My personal opinion though :)

Anyway, I've hoped you've enjoyed this haul. I was really excited to get all of these. Reviews will come as I use these products.

Hope you have a wonderful day. Have an even better one tomorrow!
