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.

September 2015 Birchbox

Birchbox is a monthly subscription box ($10 plus tax) of personalized beauty, grooming, and lifestyle deluxe sized samples tailored to your profile. You can accumulate points with each box and redeem those points at the Birchbox shop. If you review all your products in each monthly box, you can accumulate 50 points which is equivalent to $5 and half the value of the box.

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.

Memebox Back to School Box

I had been tempted to buy the Back to School Box as soon as it was released but I was waiting for a sale or promotion to come around. Lo and behold my wish was granted and a Labor Day weekend promotion appeared! I went a little crazy so you'll be reading about some of the Memebox purchases I made for the next few blog posts.

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.
