Beautynetkorea Haul

This was my first time ordering from Beautynetkorea and I am very satisfied with my order! Their prices are relatively cheaper than many other Korean makeup/skincare shops AND they offer free shipping! NO MINIMUM! They also give out free samples if you order over a certain amount. My sister and I placed an order together and because we purchased over $100 worth of items, they sent us so many samples. *____* This is why I love ordering from Korean based shops, they're always giving out samples and I love receiving samples because it lets me try out new products! Anyway, I purchased a total of 5 items and I received my items in about 2 1/2 weeks.


These are the items that I ordered


Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder
I got this because I heard many good reviews about this powder! So far I'm really loving it, the powder is very finely milled and it doesn't make my face look cakey.


Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream in Aqua Natural
Got this because it was recommended by my friend Yujia! Can't wait to try this, I heard it's supposed to be super moisturizing and hydrating


Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner in Dark Choco
I've been looking for a new waterproof brown eyeliner and I heard good reviews about this one. Very creamy and glides on like a dream~ It also doesn't smudge on me! This pencil eyeliner does contain shimmer particles in it though, but I don't really mind. I am extremely satisfied with this pencil eyeliner and might consider buying it in other colors.


Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off
The whole reason why I placed an order in the first place! I was in dire need of an exfoliator and decided to get this one based on reviews. I am in love with this product!! Whenever I see that my face starts getting dry patches, I would use this product and it really does take away all my dead skin! It also makes my face so soft afterwards


Tony Moly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream
Got this because I wanted to use it as a makeup base. I love that it gets rid of the redness on my face and gives me a luminous and dewy look!

That's it for my haul! Have you guys tried any of these products as well?

Pony x Memebox

I've recently placed an order with Memebox. Memebox is a website that sells Korean beauty boxes that comes in 4-5 full sized items. Each box has their own theme from makeup to skincare, etc. My sister first introduced me to this website and I thought it was a great way to try out some Korean beauty products! I have yet to order any of their other boxes though. Memebox also does collaboration boxes with popular makeup gurus! The main reason why I ordered from Memebox was because of their collaboration with Pony!

If you guys don't know who Pony is, she is a popular makeup guru from Korea! I've been watching her on YouTube and I just love the way she does her makeup! I found out that she has done two collaboration eyeshadow palettes with Memebox and went ahead and placed an order.



I purchased both the Pony Season 1 and Season 2 eyeshadow palettes! They came in a value set for $29.00 (original price $38). They offer free US shipping for orders over $30 so I also added a sheet mask from Liole in order to get the free shipping!

The shades of these palettes are so beautiful! I love the shimmer eyeshadows especially. Season 1 palette contains both matte and shimmer eyeshadows. The left side containing the matte eyeshadows and the right side containing the shimmer eyeshadows. However, season 2 palette contains all shimmer eyeshadows. Although season 2 contains all shimmer eyeshadows, the shimmers in some of the pans (especially Shine Peachy and Shine Dew) are not so glittery making it appropriate for everyday wear. What I love about Season 1 palette is that it contains both matte and shimmer eyeshadows, making it very versatile. You can do a matte eyeshadow look or a shimmer eyeshadow look or even use the matte shadows for contouring! Although the eyeshadows are beautiful, they are not highly pigmented. I recommend using an eyeshadow primer prior to applying these eyeshadows.

Here are some looks I created with these palettes!







The color is so washed out in photos ;( But overall, I would recommend these palettes! They are a steal at the price of $29! You can purchase the set here: Pony Shine Easy Glam Season 1 & 2 Value Set

Make sure to do a search for coupons! Sometimes you can get up to $5 off your order. ^^

Innisfree Mineral Melting BB Cushion in #21 Natural Beige Review [ibuybeauti]

I've been using the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream for the longest time. But with all the recent BB cushion hype, I succumbed and purchased one to try for myself! I went around and researched for a good BB cushion and decided to purchase the Innisfree Mineral Melting BB Cushion from ibuybeauti.com. From my understanding, this particular line has been discontinued. I believe the ones that are currently being sold are the Long Wear and Water Glow lines. I am very happy with my purchase from ibuybeauti. Shipping only took about a week and they gave tons of samples which I'm a total sucker for. I purchased this BB cushion in the color #21 Natural Beige.


Front


Back

The casing of the BB cushion is circular and very light weight! Easy for traveling!


What it looks like when opened. It comes with a mirror and a BB puff. Excuse my dirty puff ><;


What it looks like when you open the lid to the cushion

So you're supposed to take the puff and press it against the cushion until the BB cream comes out onto the puff. Then you simply dab the puff onto your face. I would say the BB cushion is light coverage but is very buildable. It also comes with SPF 50, which is a plus! The color of this BB cushion is much more white compared to my Missha BB Cream which I also own in Natural Beige. I actually like it a lot more compared to the Missha one. My Missha one is also light, but this BB cushion just feels more airy compared to it. Maybe it's the puff application? Anyway I'm really enjoying this BB cushion and I can see why it's so popular. I've already ordered a refill of the Long Wear BB Cushion! I'm interested in looking into other brands of BB cushions as well. If you guys have any suggestions for a good BB cushion, I'd love to hear some recommendations! ^^
