Beautynetkorea (f2plus1) Review + The Face Shop Haul

Today because I’m not feeling lazy I actually wrote few more posts to publish them in the next days! So expect more reviews and maybe a tutorial because 양승부인 keeps asking me to make one. We shall see. 

The first thing I would like to talk about is that I found a perfect shopping website for Korean cosmetics which is based in Incheon, South Korea. Most of the korean beauty item selling websites are based in China or other Asian countries. In all honesty when I see that those websites are based in China I always have second thoughts about purchasing them because of the authenticity of the products. Besides most of those websites always sells them double the actual price of the product. While browsing on EBay one day, I found a seller named f2plus1 and this seller had great reviews and most importantly they are actually based in South Korea and are selling korean beauty items. Before I purchased my items I contacted them so many times to ask them so many questions yet they were extremely friendly answering my questions. 

Now this seller actually has a website and you don’t have to purchase through EBay. They have so many great Korean brands that I’m sure everyone is already in love with. I also did a comparison with the actual prices of Etude House and the prices they have listed and there is only $1-2 difference with the actual prices but that’s a lot better than other websites and this seller also provides free shipping with your purchases. 

So few days ago I received my first package from them. Everything was wrapped nicely in bubble wraps and arranged really well in the box. 

Innisfree Rice Mask Sheet, Missha Super Aqua Blackhead Kit, Etude House Strawberry Hair Rollers, Dear Girls Lip Tint&Balm, Tony Moly Green Apple, Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel, Holika Holika Aqua Colour Change Tint, Etude House Hand Mask

Because of my previous hauls I didn’t purchase many things but I bought things that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time now.  양승부인 also purchased some things. But now we both decided that there are more things we want to purchase. 

They also sent a good amount of samples and two face masks with my purchase. I’m repeating myself but I want to say again that the seller is a very nice person and they are very helpful and fast at replying and answering your questions. So I really do recommend www.f2plus1.com if you want to purchase Korean beauty products. 

Now on to my small haul from The Face Shop. This time I was determined to buy just one thing which was the whitening body lotion but again I bought more stuff thanks to my mom.

This time when I only wanted to buy a whitening body cream/lotion. I’m already pale but I want to get rid of the uneven colour on my body. But I bought more things than I expected to once again.

Bebe Lip Mask, 3D Ampoule Mask, Real Nature Sheet Masks, Arsainte O2 Mask, Whitening Body Moisturizer, Volcanic Clay Aloe Nose Strips, Raspberry Collagen Eye Masks, Hair&Bath Brush

The girl that was working in the store gave me nice samples with my purchase. And two small boxes of the extremely soft cotton pads that they actually sell. But I still have huge box I purchased before so I’m glad I have these as a back up. 

That is all for today. I’m planning to make a review about the Missha blackhead kit, The Face Shop O2 Mask and Tony Moly green apple peeling item after I use them for at least 3 times. Please like my post and don’t forget to follow for upcoming posts and reviews. 

[HAUL] Korean and Japanese Beauty Products

Hello everyone! 

Today’s post is a haul post. I purchased everything myself in the store. Some of them are gifts for my mother and my friend (양승부인). Usually when I go shopping for cosmetics I tend to buy more than I need so now I started buying skincare products more than I need because I decided I would use up my cosmetics before I purchase any new ones. Not including my eyeliner and mascara because I always buy new ones every 3-4 months. Enough with the rambling and here is my haul!

Usually when I go to Mitsuwa they are always out of stock of the Dolly Wink eyeliner and I am very impatient to wait for my online orders so when I saw they had them in stock I bought 2 for myself and 1 for my friend. I also bought two boxes of my trustworthy Hadanomy collagen face masks and a box of a brand I have never tried before. If you have ever used it let me know what you think about it. I also bought a set of Essential Nuance Airy. Now that I have my virgin hair back the volume in the roots are gone so I thought I would give this a try!

Then I went to The Face Shop and bought more face masks because I use a lot of masks and while I was in the store they were having a special sale event so I bought a lot of new things to try too. Especially the new smart capsule CC cream. I have used it once already but I want to use it few more times to write a review about it. 

I bought anti-wrinkle and anti-aging skincare products for my mother to use. The girl that was working in the store praised this collection a lot so even though my mother uses very high end products I bought this for her to try. I also bought another CC cream for my friend. They also gave me two neck creams for price of one so I gave one to my mother. She also gave me travel size kind of samples of other anti-aging and anti-wrinkle for my mother.

They gave me a bunch of samples and these are just few them. I can actually say they gave me a box full of samples of all different products. They also gave full sizes of Aqua Jelly face and body mist and a mousse facial cleanser and few more masks but I forgot to take photos of them.  

This is all for now! When I stop being so lazy (SORRY!) I will write bunch of reviews and comparisons! 양승부인 is actually pushing me to make videos and tutorials too but I don’t feel too comfortable show my face yet! My next post will be another circle lens review but this time a more natural one ;) . Be ready! 

Thank you for reading such a long blog post. I really am trying to make my posts more simple but I just can’t stop myself from writing!

HAUL: Lush, Kiehl's, Juicy Couture, Neiman Marcus, Victoria's Secret

Hello everyone! 

First of all happy 2013 to everyone that reads my blog. As 2012 ended and 2013 started all of the stores were having sales or specials. These are the stuff that I bought this month excluding clothing... For me to make a clothing haul would take me a while as the post would go on and on (: 

 

From Kiehl's I bought myself face moisturizer and cleanser. They were having a special so I bought the second moisturizer almost for free! From my previous posts I was talking about La Mer gel moisturizer and then The Face Shop facial essence, so how did I end up with Kiehl's? Well, while watching some old episodes of Get It Beauty I saw that they were raving about this moisturizer so I actually went in to the store to ask for samples that I can try for a week to see if it is any good for my skin. I was so surprised because it made my face very soft! I will have a full review on it soon.

Later I went in to Juicy Couture store and they were having a winter sale with extra 50% off from already discounted prices so I bought these blue ear muffs which you can also use as headphones simply by plugging it into your iPod. I also wanted to buy earrings for myself as I find Juicy Couture earrings very cute to wear especially drop like ones when you just put your hair in a bun they look very cute. Unfortunately they didn't have many options that were on sale. 

As I was running out of my favourite mascara, which is Dior BlackOut, I went to Neiman Marcus to buy that. You can definitely buy Dior mascara from other stores but I simply go to Neiman Marcus because the lady there always helps me out with whatever I need and we usually end up speaking French :P 

Last thing I bought was from Lush, again they were having a buy one get one free special! I originally went in to buy bath bombs but as they were having buy one get one free special for the gift boxes I bought those two gift boxes that you can see in the photo above. They include bubble gum lip scrub, rockstar soap, body wash, bath bomb and bubble bomb. And I got two just for the price of one so I am very happy. Also, the girls that were working in the store gave me a lot of samples for me to try (: 

Unfortunately I guess after some age you end up buying gifts but not receiving them so I didn't receive any gifts from anyone besides one of my good friend (I'm not sure if she would want me to give out her name here so I will call her 양승부인). She bought me this Victoria's Secret bath collection and lip products as gift and she also bought me the movie that I wanted to see so bad but never had a chance to see! 진짜 고마워 양승부인!!! 

Well that is it for this post. Soon I am planning about making video tutorials and reviews. I'm just trying to find nice setting with nice lighting. Also I will update my Etude House BB Cream review with better photos because I realized just showing it on my hand doesn't do any justice to that product!

HAUL: Lush and The Face Shop

Hello everyone! 

I haven't made any posts lately and the reason for that is I came to visit my parents and before I did that(!) I went to some of my favourite stores to stock up on things that I may need while I am visiting them since it will be long visit! 

First I went to The Face Shop, I bought a lot of face masks! Not just face masks though I also bought hand and feet mask, which I haven't tried yet and can not wait to try! I also bought a BB Cream and essence for my face. While I was in the shop, because I am running out of my Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream I thought I would buy a back-up. While there I asked one of the girls which one I should get, she was very helpful and chose aqua tinted for me. I am glad she did because where I am right now is a very tropical place and it is very hot combined with humidity (now I know why I was so sure about leaving this city). I will be doing a review on this BB Cream and comparison with my other one! Last thing I bought from The Face Shop was the face essence, for a while now I was using La Mer moisturizing gel but I ran out of it and with everything going on I did not want to go and pay all that money for it but I knew I had to get something for my face so I gave The Face Shop a try. The girl in the shop told me that this Eco-Therapy series was their best seller and I chose to try the essence since I do not like to use anything too heavy on my face. The girl that was working in the store was so nice she gave me couple free face masks, UV protection cream and few more stuff. I will be making review posts on these products at the end of the month since I actually want to have better idea for all. Moving on!

I went to the Lush store to buy bath bombs for myself as I am a person who likes to take long hot baths. I ended up buying two bath bombs (Butterball and a green apple one, sorry I can not remember the name), Volcano foot mask (it is not in the photo because it was for my mother), bath bubble bar in Green (that is the name for that). Even though I did not buy much they gave me two sample size Sultana and one sample size Honey, I Washed The Kids. I think I will fall in love with Sultana because it has a great moisturizing feeling to it even when you just touch it. 

I feel and know that I have talked too much so I will end this blog post here. Hopefully now that I have more time in my hand I will be making tutorials and review posts! Please expect them (: 

TUTORIAL: Chocolate Drip Nails

Helloooo, helloooo, hellooo!! :) 
I know summer is already over but I came to visit my parents and wow this place is so tropical it makes me want to nom~ on ice creams all the time! Long time ago I saw Hikari's nails in a photo and I thought it looked so cool I had to try it and what's better than having ice cream nails with chocolate dripping on them?! 

These are Hikari's nails. (Photo is taken from her blog)

Watch the video below to learn how to get nails like these! Please be nice to me since this is my first video ever! And I'm sorry about the position and the focusing! It will be better once I get used to it (: 

The end product photo is old when I first did it on my short nails! I forgot to take new photos because I usually always have dark red nail polish on and I took these off after I was done recording! Boo-hoo...

Please subscribe to my channel and follow my blog for more upcoming tutorials and reviews of products~

I will have a new blog post about my new The Face Shop haul and reviews of the products from my old haul post!

♥♥ The Face Shop Haul! ♥♥

Hello to whoever is reading this! (: 

So recently I went to The Face Shop store in order to get myself a facial cleanser since I used up all mine. But(!), whenever I go there I end up buying more stuff because I love everything I get from The Face Shop. The price is reasonable, products are great and you get to see Kim Hyun Joong's face everywhere~ 

Sorry about the bad lighting :( I really wanted to take photos of the products before I used them!
From L - R:
Self Steam Hair Pack, Bubble Net, ChangPo Hair Essence, Lovely Me: EX Lip Stain, Pearl Face Mask, Herb Day Cleansing Foam

This time when I went there, I initially wanted to get Herb Day Cleansing Foam facial cleanser with peach only. It is for all skin types but as description tag under it said it is for "moisturized and glowing skin". 

Of course I ended up getting more stuff. As I have talked about in my previous post I have overly processed hair on the tips so I bought the hair pack and the essence. Later for my skin I bought the foaming cleanser and recently I saw on DanceandMelodee's (check out her channel she has great tips for good skin) skin care video that she uses a bubble net for her cleanser so when I saw one in The Face Shop I immediately added it in my shopping bag! I also bought a mask since I'm running out of my other ones (expect a face mask review for different brands soon!☺) 

And last but not least I bought a lip stain. After watching too many dramas I realized that most of the actresses always has this tint in the middle of their lips that looks very nice so let's say I got jealous and wanted to go for that look! That is it for now I will do a review on each product soon and the promised ice cream nail tutorial. 

Thank you for reading...
