[HAUL] Ebay Haul!

So! I've been eyeing on a certain products for the longest time but I couldn't have them in my hands because there were no stores anywhere in my vicinity that sells Korean products. Yup, you got that right. I've been eyeing on Korean products for the longest time. So, I decided to get them through online. This was actually my first time buying online and I'm really excited about them. Luckily, I found bhappywithme and BIGTOKYO on Ebay. You could probably check them out to look for items especially for those people who are in a place where we couldn't get Korean products. Well, you see, I tried to find it on multiply, but I couldn't find what I've been looking for.

Anyways, these items are actually my very first Korean cosmetic. The package came in today and I'm really happy. It actually made my day. Let's look through the package from bhappywithme since it came in first.

Tada! Here comes the package!! I'm oh so excited!

Hoho! Let's go ahead and open it up!

It was wrapped in a box with a "Fragile" written unto it.

Wah! Almost there. It was also wrapped into a bubble wrap which I absolutely love!

So yeah! I'm really obsessed with bubble wraps so I kinda popped them out first before moving forward. You could probably see the products already and I myself got really excited with this. I could see a bunny sneaking out! keke~ 

Tada! I finally opened it up after playing with the bubble wrap.

LEFT: Innisfree Apple Juicy Liquid Foaming Cleanser, Innisfree Canola Honey Serum, Tony Moly Petite Gloss Bar #5 Juicy Peach, Tony Moly Petite Gloss Bar #3 Juicy Apple, Tony Moly Mini Tint #1 Cherry :RIGHT

So let's start first with the right portion, the Tony Moly Mini Tint in #1 Cherry. I've been really obsessed with lip and cheek tint this past few months so I decided to buy it. It's just the sample size so basically, it is really small. 

Tony Moly Mini Tint #1 Cherry

Php 59.00

Next would be Tony Moly Petite Gloss Bar #3 Juicy Apple. Petite Gloss bars have been the apple of my eye since I saw them on Youtube and I was really desperate to get it. Seriously, I went to Ebay just for these item. I originally wanted to get the #6 Juicy Orange, but she doesn't really have it right now. I actually checked on Tony Moly's list of products and this was way more expensive than the one on Ebay.

Tony Moly Petite Gloss Bar #3 Juicy Apple

Originally Php 200 but got it on sale for Php 180

Moving on, I got another shade of Tony Moly Petite Gloss Bar which is #5 Juicy Peach. At first I thought this was the #6 Juicy Orange but then realized that it's not. As I have said, I've been eyeing on this product for the longest time. The packaging was really cute and I just can't resist them.

Tony Moly Petite Gloss Bar #5 Juicy Peach

Originally Php 200 but got it on sale for Php 160

I don't actually know why that was cheaper but yeah. I also got some freebies. They are Innisfre Apple Juicy Liquid Foaming Cleanser and Innisfree Canola Honey Serum. I think I'm gonna try this out soon!

 Left: Innisfree Apple Juicy Liquid Foaming Cleanser;

Right: Innisfree Canola Honey Serum

So that's everything that I got from bhappywithme. Well they're all Tony Moly lip products. Seriously, I wanted to get other stuffs but I ended up buying only lip products from Tony Moly.

Well, actually, the same trend happened with my purchase for BIGTOKYO. They're all skin care products on the same brand and on the same line. You gotta be kidding me! Well, you see, they actually sell cheaper stuffs and yeah. Sadly, the package from them was delayed. Well, it was actually a 2-3 day shipping and the crew from JRS was really mean. They're not friendly at all. :( Anyway, I got the package today a day after I got my package from LBC. Well anyway, I got it today.. I'm talked about my journey with JRS and LBC here. You may go and check it out.

So yep. Here's the package from BIGTOKYO.

JRS Large Pouch

So yes, that's how it looks like. Just a small package and let's open it more.

Parcel wrapped in a pink plastic bag from Beauty Credit

Beauty Credit's Address:

2nd Floor Fashion Walk Gaisano Mall

J.P. Laurel Ave., Bajada, Davao City

(082) 284-0189

I think that's their store in Davao. If you're from there, you could probably check them out. They also sell good stuffs from Beauty Credit correct me if I'm wrong. So let's open it further...

The breakable items were wrapped in a bubble wrap.

Skinfood: Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Serum, Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Cream,

Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Gift Set

Freebies: 3 hair pins

Let's look through each product one by one. As I have said, all I got from bigtokyo were from Skinfood which is from their line Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore. I just really wanted to try them out first before maybe buying the whole thing so yep. Let's start with the sample size that was wrapped in a separate plastic.

Trial Size

Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Serum Trial Size

Php 16.00

I only got one trial size because it is a "serum". I just thought that my face already produces too much oil, why would I put on another one? But since I wasn't so sure, I got one anyway just to test it out.

Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Cream Trial Size

Php 44.00 for 3 pieces

I just heard that the routine works best with the cream so I decided to get 3 sample size. I'm really excited to try them out.. Well, next would be the culprit why I got some items from bigtokyo!

Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Cream Gift Set

Originally Php 213.00 for 5 but I got it for only Php85.20

What's inside of each box?

Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Emulsion

Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Toner

Well, you see. They're having a sale so I was not able to restrain myself from buying it AND I really wanted to try this line because I heard it works really well with large pores so I wanted to give it a shot. Well, I'm kinda desperate to get rid of my acne scar and large pores right now..

And then! Chanchananan! I saw this one in a separate plastic bag!

Store information on Ebay

TADA!

3 Fashionable Hair Pins

FREE!

I wasn't expecting for any freebies from bigtokyo but they actually sent me these cute items. Ah, I'm so lucky. These items actually made my day. I was really stressed out these past few days you know.

And that's the end of my very first haul and my very first purchase online! I'm planning to purchase more soon. I would totally recommend both sellers.

Any experience with the sellers mentioned above? Any questions that you would want me to answer? Share it with me by commenting down below.

[BATTLE] LBC Express vs. JRS Express

I've been eyeing on some items but I couldn't buy it here in my place because there were no stalls near us. So, I decided to buy online (Ebay) and luckily, they have the product that I've been looking for. Of course, since it is online, it needs to be shipped for me to have it.

I actually ended up buying in two different sellers. With that, they actually have different courier. One is JRS Express and the other one was LBC Express. Budget wise, you could probably save more if you're using JRS Express. For a a small pouch in LBC, I was asked for Php155 and for JRS, I was asked for Php125 in the large pouch. Well, actually, LBC's pouch is bigger. I mean, the pouch that my seller used was actually for letters so yep.

But you know, it's my first time buying online and it just so happen that I had two transactions with different courier and with that, I tried using both their tracking system online. Even though there were some people who have problems on tracking their parcels/package, I was amazed how LBC updated their delivery information. Reading reviews online, I actually thought that it's not going to work out. I ended up wrong though. I could see the location of my parcel and what time it was delivered in the branch where I'm going to pick it up.

But sadly, I was really devastated with JRS' tracking system. Everytime I check on their system, all I could get was "We could not find your query, please contact our customer service hotline" or worst, "Invalid tracking number". Holy cow! How could I monitor my parcel then? I'm certain that the tracking number that I'm entering was right! Good thing (I don't even know if I really consider it good) that I found their facebook page. They actually reply really fast. Faster than Air21. But when I asked through message about the location of my parcel, they took too much time to reply saying that I'll be having it the same date that I'll be receiving my parcel from LBC after the lunch break. Yay!

LBC Express Tracking System

JRS Express Tracking System

So, I actually went to LBC and JRS today hoping that it is ready to pick up. And TADA! I got my package from LBC Express. Hohoho! I'm really excited to open them but I actually restricted myself but I ended up opening them anyway. Hehe.. Excited freak here..

However, I actually went to JRS Express twice. First was at 10am and as expected, it wasn't there yet and I said I'll just check it again later. So I went to school and went back at around. I was expecting for my parcel and brought with me a backpack so that I would be putting it there to prevent any hassle. BUT! I came back home with nothing. :( I actually went to facebook and asked about the status of my parcel and they actually told me that it is already in my branch and I was like HOLY COW! I went there twice and got nothing and I actually learned that it should be there already?! Just seriously. The personnel there was actually unfriendly especially the first guy that accommodated me. I'll go there tomorrow, first thing in the morning.

_____
The next day,

I went there to check if my parcel is already there at 12 noon and to my dismay, they said that I should come back at 3pm instead. Just seriously! But then they were friendlier than the other day so I let them through. At 3:30 pm, I got in their branch to check if my item is already there. And finally! The long wait is over. I got my items today! Yahoo!!! I'm gonna do a Ebay haul after this post so yep!

Budget wise, I'll go with JRS Express. I know it looks like I paid more than the shipping fee I paid for LBC but then again, we need to take in considerations. But then, service wise, LBC was more accommodating so I'll choose them. I know there were some problems that other people encountered through LBC, but my experience was better there. Well, maybe because the parcel came from different places, but the thing that they said in JRS' customer service was contrary to what the branch actually tells me. So overall, for now, I'll go with LBC.

Any experiences with them that might be contrary to my experiences are beyond my powers.

[REVIEW] Nichido Satin Moist Lipstick in Nude Pink

As I was walking along the counters in Watson, I got to the Nichido Counter and saw lots of cheap products. So, I decided to get a lipstick from their Satin Moist Lipstick line. It was actually a pretty cheap lipstick, though I got a cheaper lipstick in HBC for only Php50-60.

I never liked any lip products with glitters on it. I just really want to be more natural. So, when I saw the Satin Moist Lipstick line, I went straightly to their counter and tried out some of their testers and there, I fell in love with Nude Pink.

So here's how the packaging looks like, it's not really a catchy packaging but the lipstick itself does a great job. 

As I have said earlier, I got it in the shade of Nude Pink. The color is really pretty and my friends actually tells me how great my lips look like. It's a nude color with a tint of pink. It's more on the nude side though.

As you could see on the swatch, it actually looks a little bit coral tint. I've been inlove with corals these past few days. Anyway, this lip color is actually suitable for simple and natural look because it looks so natural on your lips.

 I don't actually apply too much lipstick so you could still build it up to strengthen and enhance the color of the lipstick. I really love this lipstick because it doesn't crack my lips. Most of the times, my cracked lips would show up whenever I'm putting on any lip product.


Overall, I actually like this lipstick. The color is so natural that I could use it everyday, it actually stays on my lips for a long period of time and this one is actually really pigmented too. The only thing I hate about this product is their packaging. I know they need to cut off some expenses to make it a lot cheaper, but I think the packaging suffered a lot.


I've been sporting natural look all throughout my life and I never found ant lipstick that actually really look so natural on my lips. It was also actually the first time that my friends compliment my lip color

I really love it and I'm going to repurchase it as soon as I'm through with it. For a price of Php100, this lipstick is really affordable and worth buying for.


How about you? Have you tried this product? What was your experience?

[REVIEW] Glam Works Lip and Cheek Tint in Peach Pink and Strawberry Red

I've been really obsess with lip and cheek tints these past few months. I've been loving it since I learned about them. My first one was actually Ever Bilena's Evera Lip and Cheek Tint in Redd but I never liked the smell and the taste(I know, I shouldn't be tasting it but it is a lip product!) so I searched for more lip and cheek tints.

Lip and cheek tints are obviously, for lips and cheeks. If you want a more natural look and you're afraid that your lipstick would ruin it, then, they're the best items that you could get. It's not as heavy as lipsticks, not too light like a tinted lip balm and not as glossy as lip gloss which I really love from lip and cheek tints. I could probably bring a lip and cheek tint with my daily make-up bag to make room for more products.

So let's get to the review. Today, I'm going to do a review on Glam Works' Lip and Cheek Tint in "Strawberry Red" and "Peach Pink". From their packaging, they actually look the same and I actually felt that they're in the same color but then I was wrong.

Strawberry Red (Left), Peach Pink (Right)

Glam Works Lip and Cheek Tint

Swatches for Strawberry Red and Peach Pink.

Let's start with the Strawberry Red. I actually got this color first before "Peach Pink" because pink lip products doesn't really compliment my lip color. So, I got the strawberry red. The color is a really light red color which I really love with a shiny appearance.

Strawberry Red applied to my lips.

It's not that glossy and it's not greasy at all. It doesn't even feel so heavy like most lip products do. For me, the consistency of Strawberry Red is better than the "Peach Pink" because it is more creamy and glides on perfectly on my lip and cheeks. It doesn't really show much when applied to skin but it gives color and glow to my cheeks.

After several times contemplating if I should get the "Peach Pink" shade and decided to give it a try. When I got home I instantly removed it from the packaging to see if it would fit my skin. I think it does, but I just don't look so natural with them. I tried using it for school and it actually works better on my cheeks. It's a bright pink color which I don't usually like but I think this one is an exception.

Peach Pink applied on my bare lips.

I actually like the color of this one because you could work with it. And as I have said earlier, Strawberry Red is more creamy than Peach Pink. Peach Pink looked really dry when I first opened it, but then, the consistency got better after using it for few times.

Both shade/flavor actually smells like strawberry and peaches. They smell so good that I got addicted to it and I wanna smell them all day long. They're actually really pigmented. Well, I love pigmented stuffs. The downside of this product is that it doesn't last that long. For me at least it stays for few hours with random biting and eating.

The packaging is just a simple jar with the name and shade of the product on the top portion of its cover while at it's bottom part is where you could see the Batch Number and the Expiration Date which is really important in labeling of cosmetics.

I was not able to take photos of it on my cheeks because I'm having a break out and it sucks.

Overall, I like to use Strawberry Red on my lips better than the Peach Pink, but I actually like Peach Pink better for my cheeks. I actually combine them sometimes on my lips to create a gradient effect.

I would gladly repurchase them again. It's really cheap at Php 75-79 from Watsons and a very great product.

How about you? What do you feel about these products?

Note: Pictures might not depict the real colors of the lip and cheek tints, but it's the best setting that the color looks like the same as in real life.

[REVIEW] Nichido True Colors Collection Eyeshadow in Raisin Wine and Caramel

So hi everyone, today I'm just going to review two eyeshadows that I've been using lately.
Nichido is a cosmetic brand that you could probably buy here in the Philippines. They actually have lots of cheap stuff that's why when finally, they have a counter in Watsons here in my place, I went there and bought some stuffs though I was really annoyed with the saleslady.

So let's get started. I'm going to do a review for Nichido True Colors Collection in Caramel and Raisin Wine.

 So this is the back portion of the eyeshadow.

Caramel (left) and Raisin Wine (right)

And here's how it looks like in it's packaging.

The Caramel (left) has a coral pigment on it and the Raisin Wine (right) is more on brownish thingy.

And here are the swatches.

Caramel (left) and Raisin Wine (right)

I got this eyeshadow for Php 68.00 each at Watsons and I think that it's pretty cheap and affordable.

The eyeshadow is really pigmented which I really like. Though I think they need to do something with the formulation. I don't know if it's just me that feels something different while using this eyeshadow. It actually feel rough. I mean, not that rough but it's not as creamy just like how I'm used to wherein the eyeshadow is really smooth and glides perfectly.

I really love using the Caramel whenever I want to look a little bit playful, and I use the Raisin Wine for more natural look and when going to school.

It stays in my lids for 4-8 hours or maybe even less depending on some circumstances. They also have wide color selection that you could choose from.

Overall, I love this product. But just like what I have said, I wish it would be a little bit smoother than it is right now. So maybe I'm going to check out some colors whenever I have time....and the money.

So yeah, that's my thoughts about the product. You may comment down your questions or your thoughts on this products too.. :)

I'll talk to you guys later. Bye.. :)
