Tester Korea Haul + Memebox

I've recently discovered the joys of shopping the samples section at Tester Korea. I'm inundated with too many full size products to justify buying more so I've convinced myself it makes sense to purchase samples. Plus you save money on shipping by purchasing packets since Tester bases their shipping costs by weight. By the way shipping was unusually fast this time around, a little under two weeks which is lightening fast for selecting the registered air mail option. It's the cheapest and slowest shipping option. The order total was around $35.

Memebox Staff Picks Skincare Box

This Staff Picks Skincare Box is a continuation of my order from the Memebox Memecat promotion over Labor Day weekend. As soon as I saw it on the site I knew I had to purchase it. I would have bought the box even if there hadn't been a promotion going on.

Memebox Tony Moly Earth Beauty Mask Bundle Set

If you read my last post, you already know I purchased quite a few things from Memebox over Labor Day weekend. This Tony Moly Earth Beauty Mask Set was one of the purchases I made during their holiday promotion. The masks are relatively new products on the market and caught my eye right away.

Son & Park Lip Crayon Review

Son & Park is a brand created by two popular Korean celebrity makeup artists, Son Dae Sik and Park Dae Yun. They serve as exclusive makeup artists for many famous Korean actors and actresses. Son is the official makeup artist for Jun Ji Hyun. (Her breakout film was My Sassy Girl in 2001 which was a huge hit in Korea and throughout Asia. If you haven't watched it, you need to! After wearing YSL Rouge Pur Couture No 52 in My Love From The Star, the lipstick sold out worldwide.)
Back to Son & Park, the two have been friends since high school and known for bringing the natural dewy look to life.  Dewy, glowing skin has been a trend with Korean women for quite some time now. They developed the technique with their own hands and it became their signature at editorial shoots and fashion shows. Their logo is a hand with the cursive letters S and P.

Tester Korea Haul + Harmon

I've done a little shopping at Harmon Face Values and Tester Korea over the course of the past few weeks. By now, if you're a regular reader of my blog, you know my love for Harmon and their discounts. You can use those 20% off coupons from Bed Bath & Beyond on a single item in addition to manufacturer coupons. I had an extra incentive to shop at the store because they sent me a $20 off $50 purchase coupon. I won't include the boring essentials like hand sanitizer, toothpaste, or body wash so you'll only see the makeup items I purchased from the store.

Memebox Lucky Box

I always seem to be disappointed by randomly selected boxes like this Lucky Box, yet I can't resist the urge to buy one. It didn't help that I saw some spoilers of what people received and there were a good assortment of products. Let's see if I had any luck this time and get into what's inside the Memebox!
