8. HOLIKAHOLIKA Daily Garden Cleansing Foam 120ml - 2,500won

This was a bit of a splurge; all are items that I have never used before. I guess every haul I do it more of an product experiment to see which fits my skin the most. I love TonyMoly products, so I got the bcdation (which I have been eyeing for a while) and the cleaning oil. 

I have seen the five different Skin79 BB creams and I got the Snail at the end because I want to see how adding the snail ingredient into BB will make sure a difference.

Individual product reviews coming soon.

TONYMOLY Perfect Eyes Eyeliner

TONYMOLY Perfect Eyes Eyeliner #1 black - 2500 won

Yes, I am falling in love with TonyMoly products!!
This is my new favorite eye liner and this brand is my new favorite make-up brand. 
All it takes is one swatch on your lids and you are good to leave your house.
Very pigmented and doesn't smear.
This is very similar to most gel eyeliners.
Definitely be repurchasing.

HANYUL Herbal whitening

HANYUL Herbal whitening whitepaper 6 kinds Kit 5000won

• Rich Effect Whitening Toner ..... 15 ml
• Rich Effect Whitening Emulsion ..... 15ml
• Rich Effect Whitening Serum ..... 5ml
• Rich Effect Whitening BB Lotion SPF50+/PA+++ no1 ..... 5ml
• Rich Effect Whitening Mask ..... 32ml
• Cleansing Foam 15ml

This product was so BEAUTIFULLY packaged that it was so tempting to not use it.
But the reason that I opened and started to use it was because when I opened the box that it was shipped in, I smell a herbal scent and the cleansing was leaking, so I started to use the cleansing foam. It smells so good and it glides smoothly on your skin while your washing your face. The toner is very light, the emulsion also light with a nice herbal scent. A little goes a long way. The serum and BB cream also have a herbal scent. I love this line and brand. I will look out for this brand as I finish my currently opened products.

  

The description of what is inside the box.

  

  

 The back of the trial products if you can't read the front because it is written in Korean.

The cleanser is one of my favorites, but once it got into my eyes, it was a bit painful. The toner is very light, the emulsion is oily and sits on the skin, but after a few minutes, you "feel" relaxed. This line is very spa-like.

  

  

 The very pretty sheet mask. It is a two part mask step.

  

  

General Haul #11 - TesterKorea #7

I forgot to upload about this haul until 2 months later.

The shipping cost is by how many grams your package weighs and usually I pay from $10-$20.
I haven't gotten any samples in my last 3 packages, but in this package, I received 2 mini bags of samples. Guess they can read my mind.

Date Ordered: August 8
Date Shipped : August 12
Date Arrival : August 24

1. Purederm Age Defying Collagen Mask - 600 won
2. Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheets Acai Berry (10) - 8000 won
3. Hera Age Away Intensive Emulsion 120ml - 33,000 won
4. Hera Age Away Intensive Water 150ml - 30,000 won
5. Two packages of samples came with the haul.

The Hera Age Away line caught my eye when they came out with the cushion foundation this past May.  However, the line is best for people's around the age of 35. I was hesitate in buying it because I haven't reach that age yet, but it was on sale so it doesn't hurt to try it and see how it works.

Etude House Moistful Collagen Essence in Pact

Etude House Moistful Collagen Essence in Pact SPF25/PA++ 12g #2 Natural Beige - 8000 won

This is a good finishing powder after you applied your makeup if you have combination-oily skin.

The amount is very little for the price. 

The clear lid is very dollar value for Etude House-I'm not sure if they are into cheap packaging, but after my mini Etude House haul, I noticed that the little money that you spend on this label, you get very poor packaging.
What I hate is that my BB crream did a good job at hiding my pores, but this pact made my pores look huge and very noticeable. What I did like was that since I have oily combination skin, that this pact made my make-up look matte which is a plus.
I don't know where the "moistful" in the name lays.

However, this is my first "setting powder" so I would like to venture out to more brands.

Not a re-purchase for me.

  

  

  

MIZON Correct Essential Activator

MIZON Correct Essential Activator 100ml - 9,900 won

  

  

This is a two layer mist, good for summer or dry seasons.

I like this product, but it's a light mist. Very travel-friendly.
It's packaging is plastic and easy to take on the go.
Spray this when you are outside in the middle of the day and need the extra moisture.

Would I repurchase this again-no.
It's very oily on my skin, it just sits on my skin, no absorbing element or anything.
I ended up giving it to a friend who has really dry skin and she loved it.

General Haul #9 - TesterKorea #6 - Etude House Haul!

Date Ordered - August 17
Date Shipped -August 24
Date Arrived -September 4

This time I went on an Etude House Haul, see I couldn't even last a month-talk about a week. Usually I wouldn't buy anything unless I include a skincare product, but TesterKorea had a mini sale on Etude House that I decided to give the brand a try with their makeup.

1. Etude House Apricot Stick #8 Sour Cherry 2g
2. Etude House Precious Mineral Cotton Fit BB Cream 60g W23 Natural Beige
3. Etude House Proof 10 Auto Pencil 0.3g BR401 Ash Brown 
4. Etude House Moistful Collagen Essence in Pact SPF25/PA++ 12g #2 Natural Beige
5. Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk 3.4g BE101

I have been eyeing their lipstick for quite some time and this sale became the perfect time to buy it. I decided to play safe and got the beige color instead of the popular red. I'm disappointed in all the products that came in the haul today, and after using them I guess $30 is ok for experimenting with this brand to know that it's not for me.

I ordered the Sulwhasoo and Hanyul gift sets. But knowing me, the gift set was packed so nicely, I think I will give the Hanyul best gift set as gift and use the Sulwhasoo and Hanyul herbal set as my travel products when I go overseas.

General Haul #4,#5 - Testerkorea Haul #2,3

This is my second haul or 4th order from TesterKorea. I feel the norm is the first order will be shorter than the following orders, because I had absolute NO Problems with these two orders.

Date Ordered : July 10, 2015

Date Shipped : July 15, 2015

Date Received : July 22, 2015

Two weeks! Much shorter than I expected! I think that much bigger packages (or heavier) goes to a longer route for NYC customers, cause my package went from New York State to New Jersey and then to Long Island and finally back to NYC. It was quite strange, however, I go this package via the US Postal Service truck at 10am early in the morning. Very happy. They no longer had the huge trial size kit for samples, but I got the Mamonde First Energy Serum twice. This is a good sample for me because Mamonde is a brand which I haven't ordered from before.

 Date Ordered : July 12, 2015

Date Shipped : July 14, 2015

Date Received : July 22, 2015

Also happy about this delivery; however I received this in the afternoon with the USPS mailman. I was a bit shocked at the Hera packaging, but how else are Hera going to package a bottle of essence with cotton pads? I will do individual reviews on all these products. Stay tuned!
