First, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2013 IS GONE AND 2014 IS HERE!!!
(No resolution though...)
As I had said in my previous post, this post will be my Online Winter 2013 Haul. Yes, I know it's very late since I did say I was going to post it either before Christmas or before New Year, but yeah....
On to my Winter 2013 Haul!
First website I ordered from since the beginning of last year, Pretty and Cute! (prettyandcute.com)
I'm really into Korean makeup, skin care, music, and fashion. So this website is such a lifesaver to me since they're based in Oregon, I get my stuff in about three days with economy shipping. ;)
This time around, I wanted a new skin care regimen, so that's the category for this order!
To start off with, this is was my package looked like.
Gotta cover my address so no creepers come visit me...
Always with either just pink or pink and white packing peanuts.
The first thing I ordered was the Holika Holika: Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Foam. So, it's a face wash. It smells like Ramune (soda) candy and has small blue beads. After using it, my skin feels so clean and it does tighten my skin, so if you don't like that effect, I don't recommend on you buying this product. It does foam up a bit but not as much as I would've liked it to. :(
Cost: $16
Claims:
Provides minerals
Reduces Itchiness
Reduces Redness
Cleanses
Moisturizes
Oil Control
Pore Control
Since I have oily acne prone skin, the next product I bought was the Skinfood Tea Tree Emulsion (for trouble skin). I've never had an emulsion before but I like how this product is. Although it is pretty watery in consistency, it absorbs into my skin pretty quickly. Even if I pour too much out, I can easily use the rest on my chest, neck, and shoulders.
Cost: $22
Claims:
Acne Care
Oil Control
Soothes
Anti-irritant
Anti-oxidant
My last skin care related item I ordered was the Lioele Pore Deep Clear Cleansing Brush. First thoughts on the brush; "Ahh, it's so soft!" and "Too bad there's no suction cup to stick it to my mirror." I love the packaging as with all Lioele products I have/will buy. Like I said, the brush hairs are soooooo soft! It's very easy to hold also. Note: This product is very popular and I had to wait awhile for it to be re-stocked. Also, as of right now, the date I posted this, it isn't listed on the site any more. I don't know why since it is a very VERY popular item.
Cost: $28
Claim:
Exfoliates
Deep Cleans
Removes Blackheads
the very last product I ordered off prettyandcute.com, as I said, isn't skin care related but makeup related. It's the Skinfood Soft Eyelash Curler. I had to replace my very first eyelash curler for several reasons. First important reason is that it's pretty old. Second reason is I had a stye and instead of taking the risk of spreading the bacteria, I decided to buy a new eyelash curler. I bought this one because I already do love Skinfood anyway and it was the cheapest (and brand-name) eyelash curler I came across. I still haven't tried it out yet since I heard curling your lashes frequently is bad for them.
Comes with replacement rubber thingy
(Sorry I don't know what it's called.)
Very nice and simple packaging
Cost: $6.99
My next online purchase was made on areyouaniceguy.com
Yes, I am a fan of the YouTube film makers, Wong Fu Productions.
(If you're a Nice Guy or Nice Girl, Raise your hands and be proud you're nice.)
The very first thing I've ever ordered from this site was their ever so cute, Awkward Panda. I love pandas, they're my favorite animals. I already have the keychain version and I just wanted a new panda to hold and cuddle with me while I sleep. (Don't judge me! please...)
Awkward Panda xL
As you can see from the caption underneath the picture, I bought the AWKWARD PANDA XL! He's sooo cute and FLUFFY soft! I still can't get over it. the cutest thing is that when I opened the box, he had his paw up like in the picture but he was laying down. So cute, right? Thanks Wongfu for doing that. :)
So, the next thing I had bought was Wongfu's Special Edition DVD Collection. Yeah, I know I could always just watch their videos on YouTube. But hey, I want to support them any way I can. So I just had to but it! Plus it comes with two DVDs and an exclusive director's commentary and photo book. What fan can say no to that. Especially since a lot of their videos have such wonderful or inspiring messages behind them.
I kind of wished that they would've at least actually signed some of these DVDs since it's a special edition. But it does have printed versions of their autographs in the corner on the back of the packaging. The reason why it's split into two DVDs, is because one DVD has their drama short films and the other has their Comedy shorts and music videos they've made for artists like David Choi.
Well, that's all the stuff I ordered for myself during my winter break 2013. I may post what I got for Christmas depending on when I'll be able to post again since I'm now both a part time student and part time worker. If you guys want a review on any of the products mentioned in this post or in previous posts, don't be afraid to comment or message me and I will have that up soon! Hope you all had the happiest of Holidays and enjoy the new year. :)
Hope you guys liked this very lengthy post <3
