#7 - TesterKorea Mini Haul Review!

Hi there! It's almost September... school is about to start! t_t

It's important to look good on the first day of a new school year right? So I did a mini haul at TesterKorea on makeup products :}

So a timeline for you girls first! (Click to enlarge)

I chose registered airmail (the cheapest option) to ship out my order, and took about 7 business days to get to me. The processing speed was actually pretty fast! Excluding the public holiday, it only took 1 business day to ship out my items. 

So my package came like this!

Really, it's wrapped tightly with plastic tape. Guess it's to make it waterproof? But that makes the cardboard un-recyclable... since I can't get the tape off the box :{

Now have a look on the inside!

Nicely packed, eh? I've ordered 3 regular products plus some samples, all the regular products are wrapped in bubble wrap. The samples are in a small plastic bag.

Moving on to the content of my mini haul plus gift samples ;}

This time I bought:

- Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Primer 

- It's Skin Babyface One-step Base (Green)

- It's Skin Babyface Jelly tint (Tomato Red)

- Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer #3 Samples x10

- Etude House Correct and Care CC Cream (Silky) Samples x10

- Skin79 White Reviving Skin Radiance Solution Samples x30

I've read that some buyer received SkinFood cotton pads as freebies to take up the space inside the box, but I didn't get any :/ Maybe it's because my haul was too small that they all fit in well in a small box...

Anyway, they are still generous with freebies!

Look at that! They gave me testers for toner, emulsion, ampule and cream! A complete basic skincare regime! That's thoughtful isn't it? 

So the shipping and delivery at TesterKorea was very smooth and pleasant! Now I'll comment on the price and service in the following summary :)

Pros: 

- List price close to retail price in Korea

- New members receive a 10% off coupon - I used it on the primer!

- Customer service was fast  - I submitted an enquiry related to payment method, and got the reply very promptly.

- Has many shipping options (check my last post for details)

- Generous with freebies!

- Can pay South Korean Won directly via credit card, which usually has the best exchange rate.

Cons:

- Some products go sold out very quickly, and the restocking might take a few days

- List price is in South Korean Won, might be troublesome to some

Overall I'm really pleased with TesterKorea! Have you bought from them before? Tell me what you think! ;D

Cheers,

Cheri.

#3 - First Gmarket Haul!

Heyyy everyone!
MY ITEMS FROM GMARKET HAS ARRIVED!!!!! 
*Jumps and screams frantically*

I have waited for them to arrive for SO LONG. As mentioned in the last post, there was some delay related to my order... anyway it's here now!

What a GINORMOUS box at first sight, but it's actually only half-filled.here are actually only 4 boxes. They can actually send my items in a much smaller box if the little boxes are positioned more carefully. 

(Sorry for the shaky picture, I was too thrilled to receive my parcel! :P)

I bought quite a lot from Etude house, as they were having a sale up to 50% off.

(From left to right, back row to front)

Etude House AC Clinic Daily Gel Lotion - Got this because i'm running out of moisturizing milk! Hormonal acnes trouble me from time to time, and this item was like half-priced. So I picked this out of all the lotions Etude House has to offer.

Etude House Wonder Pore Freshener (500ml) - I've read many positive reviews of this on the blogosphere! Gonna give it a try to clear up my clogged pores.

Etude House I'm Blooming Moisture Cleansing Foam - Always wanted to try this after my friend told me it does a good job to remove makeup residue. So snatched this while half-priced.

Etude House I'm Blooming Sebum Control Mist - Need to prep my skin well for makeup.

Etude House Silk Scarf Hair Treatment 

Etude House Baking Powder B.B. Deep Cleansing Foam - THIS! I've tried sample of this before, it really removes my makeup completely without making my skin too dry. Gotta grab a tube of this while on sale.

Etude House Pearl Daily Mask Sheet Pack 

Etude House Surprise Essence Concealer (Natural Beige)


Also got something from Mizon.

Mizon Snail Gel Cream (1+1+1) - only for 9900 won! Can't resist such a bargain.

Mizon Skin Power Original First Essence 

Bought something from It's Skin also.

(From left to right)
It's Skin Power 10 Formula Effector Essence LI 
It's Skin Power 10 Formula Effector Essence WH 
It's Skin Secret Body Solution Whitening Essence

Finally, Scinic.

Scinic Nutri-100 Hyaluronic Solution (1+1) - 8900 won for two! Stocking for the dry winter.

So these are the things I bought! I"m including some facts related to this haul if any of you want a reference.
