cosmetic.jolse.com review

Hello everyone!  :)

I've sort of been MIA because life happened... ): but anyway I'm back with a review for you guys! :D
Today, I will be reviewing a korean cosmetics website (cosmetic.jolse.com)

I ordered 4 items from them on 2/27/14.
It was shipped on 2/28/14.
I received them on 3/20/14.

All 4 items came individually bubble wrapped which I thought was super nice of them to do since it was coming all the way from Korea to the US. They also gave plenty of samples as shown (oil blotting sheets, sunscreen, pore strip, etc) Honestly these were probably some of the best samples I've received and I've ordered a lot of Korean makeup online before.


I will provide pictures of the products below. (I will not go into full detail of the products since this is a review on the website)

Lioele Pop Pinky Tint

Swatch

Product I regret buying: Etude House Cleansing foam

Product: Etude House Happy Essential Foam Vitamin C

I bought product because I ran out of my original cleanser and thought I'd try this product out.
It was only about $6/7 - as much as the cleanser I always use so I thought why not.

I dislike this "cleansing foam" so much ! It doesn't even come out or lather into a foam. It comes out as a pasty texture like toothpaste. When you lather it onto your face, it just dissolves, there was absolutely no foam. The smell of it smells like really strong clorox wipes. It's really displeasing especially since you're putting it directly onto your face where your nose is. After you wash off the product, it leaves this rubbery like feeling on your face and it does not feel clean at all. The most important reason why I dislike this cleaner because it broke me out soooo much. I usually have hormonal break outs but this made me explode all over my face for 3 weeks and it was just really bad. It wasn't just little pimples here and there. My T-ZONE, especially the nose and eyebrow area, and my cheeks EXPLODED with huge zits filled with pus. I really do not recommend this cleanser at all. Maybe it was just a miss for me but I will never use this again.

The only thing I liked about this cleanser was that it brightened up my complexion. I have a very dull complexion and it just made my face brighter even after the first use.

ToFebruary.com Purchase!

tofebruary.com is a site based in the US mainly selling asian fasion and cute jewelry.

I used to follow their shop when you had a Soompi shop and they had amazing products at amazing prices! I'm happy to see that they've expanded to selling worldwide and have their own website now. :)

They're products are really cute and reasonably priced! I recommend everyone to check it out!

I ordered a SHINEE phone plug-in for part of my friends birthday present for $8 US total. It was processed the next day and delievered the following - so I got it within 2 days! :)

This is what the package looked like:

The cellphone plug-in came in it's own separate box which I found was pretty cute! She gave me 3 cute bookmarks as a gift.  She (Cara) also wrote a note saying how she remembered me seeing her in Santa Monica, CA about 2 years ago!

The box has a little cushion for the plug-in to sit on which I thought was pretty nice and thought that they really took the time to package it nicely :)

Their customer service is awesome & their shipping is super fast (if you live in US)! I will definitely buy from them again, and Cara is super nice!! ^_^

YESWALKER CUSTOMER COMPLAINT!!

They have terrible customer service!! When I got the e-mail that my products have been shipped, I checked my credit card account to see if they took the money out & they already had - no problem, I like to get things done quickly as well.
But to my concern, they charged me twice leaving me negative! (Negative because it was a gift card/credit card type thing & I had exact to pay for my items... not double + extra $$) One was even the wrong price. (Which I have no evidence of anymore because I was checking it on my phone while I was out and e-mailed them right away when I saw it.) A few hours later that day, I checked my account again and one charge was gone... but it was the wrong one!!

I e-mailed them again and they responded a few days later saying that they never charged me twice and that they charged me the exact amount. (They made this very clear it was the exact amount)
They also added that they are not responsible for any exchange rate billed on my card ( which will probably be the cause for the wrong price charged on my card ) I checked the website and it does not state anything about the exchange rate on the product page at all. I went to the customer service page and found out that they had a reference currency tool -but nowhere to be found. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They should at least be sorry for the inconvenience and no warning of the exchange rate on the check out page or product page instead of telling me to use PayPal instead of a credit card. (Sure, it was my fault I didn't use PP - but it was a visa gift card, not a real credit card. )

The exchange rate was a small amount, but I would've been happier with them telling me BEFORE I purchased anything.

Japanese Kit Kats

I picked up 4 different flavors this weekend: Passionfruit, Hazelnut, Cookies &Cream, and Orange.

Each bag was about the same price as mentioned before in my other post. $6/bag.

So far, I've only tried the passion fruit and cookies and cream. The passion fruit has a cirtusy taste and when I gave it to my friends they thought it was lemon flavored. 

The cookies and cream reminds me of the other kit kat (which was also cookies and cream) except this one was more milky and it actually looked like a cookies and cream milkshake on the outside whereas the other one was just white on the outside.

The cookies and cream is still by far my favorite flavor! :)

YESWALKER PURCHASE

I just placed an order on yeswalker.com and purchased two flats for a total of $28.00.
They have a BOGO special going on & also allow FREE SHIPPING for every order.

Ankle-Strap Flats: $28
I've been looking for ankle strapped flats for the longest time & they came in red, which is my favorite color for flats!! I'm excited for this to come in the mail  ;) I'll probably order the black one's next time.

Faux Leather Flats: $25

I believe every girl needs a pair of basic black flats and mine disappeared awhile ago so I decided to order these.

Wishful Wednesday? [ Etude House ]

It's not Wednesday but who cares? :) I actually have time to sit down and blog today. ^-^

1. Etude House Baby Doll Puff ( $8~$9 )
I've been wanting to try a beauty blender but I didn't want to spend the money on it especially since I RARELY wear BB Cream. (I don't even own foundation .__. ) I saw this and thought the packaging was so cute! Etude House never fails on their packaging! :D It is still quite pricey just for a 'face sponge' you can find at TJ MAXX for $4, but I believe the extra $4 for the packing and the name "Etude House" is worth it. Plus I love how the center has a crease where your fingers can have a nice grip on it.

2. Etude House Cleansing Puff (Oval) ( ~$4 )
I saw Bubzbeauty on youtube use these types of sponges to wash her face many times instead of using a wash cloth. She also mentioned that using a sponge is more gentle on your skin. Ever since then, I've been trying to find these types of sponges for a loooong time.

3. Etude House Ribbon Ice Tumbler ( $ varies )

I just want it because it's so cute! I could put my morning smoothies into it an go to school. ^_^ Plus, it's also limited edition. :3

4. Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit SPF30/PA++ ( $13 ~$16 )

This has been the rave around the BB Cream world for quite awhile but I still haven't finished my Etude House Shini Star BB Lotion or my pink Skin79 so I felt like it would be a waste of money. Especially since I RARELY wear face makeup. I'm definitely going to try it out soon! :) I just don't know which color to get - it's definitely a battle between the two in the middle.

5. Etude House Wonder Pore Freshener Toner 500ml ( $20 ~$25 )

This product has also been raved about among the best korean beauty products. I've been in need of a new toner since I'm almost done with my Skinfood cucumber one. All of the reviews on this have been positive so far!  I'll look into buying this soon. :)
