Además, como era una miembro nuevo y fue mi primer compra, contaba con un cupón de descuento adicional de $2 dólares.

Adicionalmente recibí un par de muestras gratis, las cuales son:
- SKINFOOD Premium Tomato Whitening Sleeping Pack
- Skin Watchers Lucid White Foam Cleanser
- SKIN79 VIP Gold Collection Super+ BB Cream x 2
- MISSHA Special Edition Magic View Oil Paper

Esta última muestra se daba como regalo a todo aquel que ordenara algo en aquellas fechas.

DATOS DE ENVÍO: 
Ordenado: 26 de marzo de 2014. 
Enviado: 27 de marzo de 2014. 
Llegada a México: 9 de abril de 2014. 
Llegada a mi casa: 14 de abril de 2014. 
Total - 19 días desde Corea del Sur hasta la puerta de mi casa. 

Éste ha sido uno de los envíos más rápidos que he tenido, ya que normalmente un paquete desde Corea tarda aproximadamente 3 semanas en entrar a México más una semana de la capital del país a mi ciudad. Además todo venía muy bien empaquetado en dos cajas, con plástico de burbujas y un par de muestras gratis. 

PROS: 
- Envío rápido con número de rastreo.
- Grandes descuentos y buenas promociones. 
- Todo venía bien empaquetado envuelto en plástico de burbujas. 
- Web fácil de navegar. 

CONTRAS:
- Muy pocas muestras gratis. 
- El envío no es gratis (aunque el precio es aceptable). 
- Algunos de sus productos no cuentan con descripción. 

OPINIÓN FINAL. 
Éste ha sido el haul más grande que he hecho hasta ahora y me encuentro totalmente satisfecha. Me agradó tanto mi experiencia de compra que decidí hacer una segunda orden, de la cual les hablaré después. Les recomiendo ampliamente HONESTSKIN, aprovechen que nuevamente tienen el 30 % de descuentos en todos sus productos hasta el 31 de diciembre. 

Espero que les haya sido de utilidad la entrada de hoy. Seguiré posteando los pedidos que realice a lo largo del año y, posteriormente, les tendré algunos reviews.
Que tengan un muy bonito día.

Additionally I got a couple of free samples, which are:
- SKINFOOD Premium Tomato Whitening Sleeping Pack
- Skin Watchers Lucid White Foam Cleanser
- SKIN79 VIP Gold Collection Super+ BB Cream x 2
- MISSHA Special Edition Magic View Oil Paper

The last sample was given as a gift to everyone who ordered something at that time.

SHIPPING INFORMATION: 
Ordered: March 26th, 2014. 
Shipped: March 27th, 2014. 
Arrival at Mexico: April 9th, 2014. 
Arrival at my house: April 14th, 2014. 
Total - 19 days from South Korea to the door of my house. 

This has been one of the fastest shippings I've ever had, because a package from Korea usually takes about 3 weeks to arrive to Mexico and another week from the capital to my city. Plus all came very well packaged in two boxes with bubble wrap and a couple of free samples.

PROS: 
- Fast shipping with tracking number. 
- Great discounts and good promotions. 
- Everything came well packaged wrapped in bubble wrap. 
- Web easy to navigate.


CONS: 
- Very few free samples. 
- Shipping is not free (although the price is acceptable). 
- Some of their products do not have description. 

FINAL THOUGHTS. 
This was the biggest haul I've done so far and I'm totally satisfied. I liked very much my shopping experience that I decided to do a second order, of which I'll talk later. I highly recommend HONESTSKIN, which again have the offer of 30% off on all products until December 31.

I hope that today's post has been helpful. I'll continue posting orders I made throughout the year and then publish some reviews.
Have a nice day.

Korean cosmetics ✿ REVIEW ~ "HONEST SKIN GIFT BOX"

✿ REVIEW ~ HONEST SKIN GIFT BOX - www.honestskin.com

Hey Sweeties!~

Are you guys on Holidays yet?

btw! Don't forget to join my giveaway to win months' Kawaii Box (◕‿◕✿)
I'll be sharing with you sweeties my quite review on a gift box which I received from Honest Skin + a little bit about them~

Honest Skin Korean Cosmetics is an online store, (I'm sure you have all guessed XD), which sells many Korean brands for cosmetics and skin care. Their warehouse is based in Seongnam, and they ship internationally. Honest Skin carries a whole range of brands, from 3CE and Etude House to Laneige and Innisfree (+ many more brands)!

When I received the package, I was super-duper surprised + excited to review the products (* ≧ ▽ ≦)

I honestly wasn't expecting so many goods!!!
The package came in a box and each item was bubble-wrapped in small groups.





I'll be writing short/quick summary or review on each product, but if you would like to see a full review on any of the products leave me a comment and I'll be happy to do so!
For the skincare products I'll be writing about them, because I haven't used them long enough to be able to make a good review yet (o ⌒ . ⌒ o).


Swatch
Etude House : Sunprise Super Aqua SPF 35
Moisturising Sunscreen
Light texture UV defence moisturiser protects skin with an invigorating sensation.
Directions : Apply moisturiser to sun exposed areas of the face/body and massage into skin.

My Review : When I first saw the sunscreen I wasn't expecting much, and I assumed it would be like a normal, thick-textured, sunscreen. BUT man... I was wrong!
I LOVE this sunscreen! (I might have just found the perfect sunscreen for me). The texture is super light-weight and it applies/blends-out really smoothly. The sunscreen its' self is moisturising and non-sticky (a big "+" if you asked me XD). It has a really light fresh and cooling scent and it blends out to be clear on your face. I'll be repurchasing this sunscreen as soon as I've finished this tube (it's currently Summer here in Australia.)





Swatch
Etude House : Colour My Brows #02 Light Brown
Eye-Brow Mascara
Brow Mascara combs to set, shade and moisten brows for a refined natural look.
Directions : Use wand to gather makeup and apply to brows by combing along direction of growth.

My Review : I haven't tried eyebrow mascaras before, so it was fun using this. The applicator is a wand, just like a mascara wand, but for your eyebrows. The colour I received was a little light for my hair colour, if I buy one I'd pick a slightly darker colour. There are 5 different shades/colours, and this  brown is a pretty light brown with some glitter in it. It dries reasonably fast, is super easy to apply and I think that this specific colour would suit girls with brown hair rather than black hair (haha like me!).




Swatch
Etude House : Colour Lips-fit tint #PK003
Lip Tint
This is a revolutionary liquid type lipstick that moistly glides onto lips with its vivd colour and finished off with a weightless powdery texture
Directions : Shake well before use. Apply smoothly with tip. Lightly dab onto centre of lips for gradation. Delicately apply for full cover. Apply a layer of Colour Lips-fit WH901 after colour for moist gloss.

My Review : I've actually reviewed a different colour tint from the same line before! You can find my review here, if you haven't seen it yet~ (BUT please do continue reading my review of this one because I have a different opinion on it this time)
Due to my previous review of a different tint, from the same line, I was quite skeptical about this tint, but for some (weird..) reason, this tint seemed to sit much better on my lips (maybe the old one I had is faulty or something??!). The colour is fairly bright, highly pigmented and it is buildable. It can be quite drying so I do suggest buying the lipgloss (WH901) with it. It has a matte and slightly powdery-look finish.





Swatch
Etude House : Concealer Kit #02 Dark Circle Brightening
Concealer Kit to cover dark circles and to brighten eye area
This easily blend-able cream concealer kit with two colours covers dark circles and brightens the eye area for a fresher, younger look.
Directions : Using a concealer brush, apply the Peach Corrector, starting at the inner eye, to all areas of darkness. Gently Blend. Proceed with the same application technique using Beige Concealer.

My Review : The packaging is small and it even has a mirror in it (◕‿◕✿). The concealer is to cover the dark circles around your eyes as well as to brighten the areas up! This is my first concealer and I love the creamy texture of it! It'seasy to blend out and it's coverage is reasonable.







Swatch
It's Skin : Baby Face Petit Blusher #03 Romantic Rose
Fluffy Pastel Coloured Blush
Creates a fluffy and colourful skin tone. Soft touch.
Directions : Apply appropriate amount to desired location with the built-in puff for a natural gradient.

My Review : I loved the packing of this blush because it is so sooo cute ♥. The blush comes with a cute and fluffy puff, but I personally prefer just using a brush for blushes. The blush comes in 5 different colours, but I'll be reviewing the "Romantic Rose" colour. The colour is quite light and sheer, so you will have to get a lot on your brush/puff for it to really show on your face. When you put enough on, it does give off a soft, pinky look.





Swatch
3 Concept Eye : Creamy Water-Proof Eyeliner #01 Cats
Water-Proof Creamy Eyeliner
A long-lasting eye liner for a non-smudging and neat eye makeup!

#01 Cats ~ Non Pearlescent Matte Black
My Review : I've been eyeing 3CE products for a long time, and I'm so happy I have a chance to try out a product! The eyeliner glides on smoothly and is easy to apply. It will only smudge a little if you rub it too hard, but other wise it is waterproof.




The Face Shop : Blueberry
Face Mask
Antiaging. Contains blueberry extract to help regain skin suppleness and prevent skin oxidation.
Directions : Wash face and apply toner. Carefully place mask on face. Remove after 10-12 minutes and tap lightly to absorb the remaining essence into the skin.


The Face Shop : Rice
Face Mask
A mask sheet that has rice extract keeps the skin spot-free and bright.
Directions : Wash face and apply toner. Carefully place mask on face. Remove after 10-12 minutes and tap lightly to absorb the remaining essence into the skin.





IOPE : Moistgen Special Gift Set
Softner + Emulsion + Cream + Eye Cream + Serum
Deeply and instantly moisturises dehydrated skin.

Deeply moisturising to rejuvenate a bright skin as well as to prevent the skin from drying out.




Laneige : White Plus Renew Trial Kit
Essence + Emulsion + Eye Cream + Skin Refiner
"White Plus Renew" care for white radiant and crystal clear skin.





Laneige : Original Essence White Plus Renew Sample
Essence
For all skin types and has 6 functions; luster, moisture, brightening, evening the skin tone, slows melanin rate and reduces dullness.


My favourite products from this gift box are definitely the Etude House Sunprise Super Aqua and the 3CE Creamy Eyeliner~

HONESTSKIN Gift box$Store review "Korean cosmetics haul"



Hey everyone!! Happy December !

I'm extremely today.  A few weeks back I received a huge box full of Korean goodies! The products are kindly sent to me by honestskin.com for review purposes. I must tell you those guys at Honest Skin are generous and super amazing.


HONESTSKIN.COM  is a Korea-based retailer for Korean cosmetics! Honest skin is an online Korean cosmetics store like W2beauty and Jolse but their prices are a lot cheaper!

Korean Cosmetics Honest Skin has lot of offers running at the moment. You can check out the offers on their website here. They don't offer free shipping. They ship for an affordable price.





I knew that I was going to receive a parcel from Honest Skin but I didn’t expect this much.  I was informed that the shipping might take longer but it took only 10 days to arrive with standard shipping. I was happy to see the quick delivery from their side. No customs has been charged from me and the parcel has a customs declaration form struck to it. I received this box for review and it looks like a subscription box with lot many goodies. He He. I love the variety of products they sent. It has everything that I wanted to purchase myself. I am glad to see brands like Etude House, IOPE, Laneige, 3CE, Its Skin and The Face Shop.


Most of the products are from their clearance sale but I don’t mind at all coz the products are awesome.

So here's what the parcel looked like. It’s a normal cardboard box.



And here's what it looks like inside :) There was sooo much bubble wrap and all the products were stuffed inside. After removing the entire bubble wrap, I see an invoice.  Honest Skin is good and professional!  None of the items were damaged. Everything came intact.


Etude House Sunprise Super Aqua SPF 35

Daily sun cream with light texture and freshness of seaweed extracts protects the skin from the harmful UV rays.  It comes in a cute yellow packaging and has a light consistency.  It has a fresh scent. It is non sticky and blends easily.

It holds a salmon pink and beige shade and I love the concept of mixing shades as per your tone.

Etude House Color My Brows in 1 Rich Brown

This is an eye brow mascara. The pigmentation is good. The brush has hard bristles. It has a wet formula and takes time to dry. Travel friendly packaging but not as cute as other Etude Products. There are five shades.

I am raving about this right now. It is so pigmented and creamy. You don’t have to apply pressure. It glides effortlessly. It is smudge proof and water proof. I love this eyeliner. Cats is a black shade.

It contains a very soft fluffy and cute puff for application. The product comes in a cute pot with a face on it. The wings are a part of outer packaging and goes off. It has the cutest packaging ever. I am sad to lose the wings. The size of the pot is smaller than my Etude Cookie Blusher. It is well pigmented. Baby Face Petit Blusher 03 Romantic Rose, it's a hot pink blush with a bit of sparkle.


The Face Shop Sheet Masks in Blueberry and Rice

The Face Shop Real Nature Mask Blueberry is a highly nourishing mask sheet containing blueberry extract to help regain skin softness and youthful impression. The Face Shop Real Nature Mask Rice is a brightening & complexion improvement mask sheet containing rice extract to smoothen and brighten dull and rough skin.

It is apt or you If your complexion is quite dull or lifeless looking. I am happy to give it a try. This claim to perform 6 functions: lustre, moisture, brightens, evens skin tone, slows melanin rate and reduces dullness.



Overall Thoughts:
I am happy to try my first 3CE product. 3CE Eyeliner is my favourite from the box. 3CE is a popular Korean cosmetics brand and I've never used their products before!  Their products are hot selling it seems.
