Sponsored Review (Jolse): MISSHA Pore Clear Cleansing Brush

Hey guys!

It certainly has been a while...;; I apologize for my spontaneous hiatus; it really wasn't planned or anything. The past year has been really hectic...juggling school and violin is already a challenge for me so blogging regularly on top of that was just unrealistic. I'm currently on winter break so hopefully I will get a few posts in (before I disappear again..?).

Do any of you even remember me ; - ; ? I really did miss my readers and blogging...but putting that aside, how is everyone's winter break? I hope you're enjoy this beautiful holiday season with your friends and family :)

Alright, onto the review portion of this post!!

Today I'll be reviewing the MISSHA Pore Clear Cleansing Brush sponsored by Jolse. 

I'm really ashamed to say this, but this review is over a year overdue...lol.......sorry orz; I'm actually terrible. Like I mentioned above, school and violin has been devouring my time (but I guess that really shouldn't be an excuse for me being so incompetent in keeping up with my sponsors) so I couldn't really get to my blog and reviewing things until now. Thank you to all my sponsors for being so tolerant with  me! If you've read my previous reviews on products from Jolse (here and here), then you'll know how much I adored this site.

I'm happy to say that Jolse is still the amazing site it was in the past, and even better! The site really has changed since I've last seen it but it still has so many sales, discounts, and free samples available to its customers. Please do check it out!

Sponsored GIVEAWAY + Review (Maplelens): GEO Super Angel Gray XCM-215

Hello everyone!

This is a REALLY LATE circle lens review drafted from July (4 months ago lol)...sponsored by Maplelens. Thank you!

They kindly offered to send me this pair of GEO Super Angel Gray XCM-215 for review purposes. Stick around 'till the end for a giveaway they're also hosting!

First off, let me tell you guys that Maplelens' customer service, shipping, pretty much everything, is AMAZING. You guys have probably already heard of them because of how popular they are with circle lens-buyers all over the world. Shipped with Fedex Express, this package reached me in under 72 hours. They're based in Malaysia, and I'm living in the US! Neat huh? Unfortunately, to receive this speedy shipping, you'll need to pay $10+ > n < (You receive free shipping with orders over $50, though!) The prices and variety of lenses really make up for the shipping charge. Please do check them out, if you haven't already!

Information:

Diameter: 14.8mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal

Price:

$19+shipping ($10+) at Maplelens

This box and cute hippo lens case both came in a bubble wrapped bag which was also in the bubble wrapped Fedex envelope. Very secure! :D

Sponsored Review (Jolse): Etude House Ice Shot Cool Band Freeze Foam

Hello!

As you can see, I'm updating more often because I have so many products I want to review and I still want to talk about Korea, so I hope you don't find my excessive posting to be spammy > o <

I'm sure you've all heard about this famous (maybe infamous) Etude House Ice Shot Cool Band Spray that I will be reviewing today.

This product was sponsored by Jolse. Please do check them out as they have sales and discounts every single day! They free shipping internationally which is also a plus. 

They have also sponsored the Holika Holika Jewel Light Under Maker in #01 Plumping White which I have reviewed in my previous post.

Thank you so much JiEun-ee unnie!

Now onto the review! As usual, here are the official photos:

Here is also a (very cheesy) video that goes more into detail with this product.

Sponsored Review (Jolse): Aegyosal ft. Holika Holika Jewel Light Under Maker #01

Hi guys!! 

Today I'll be doing a review on the Holika Holika Jewel Light Under Maker in #01 Plumping White!

This was kindly sponsored by Jolse, which is I think my favorite cosmetics shop EVER because of how many products there are, the cheap prices, constant sales/discounts, free samples, and not to mention: 

FREE SHIPPING WITH NO MINIMUM ORDER REQUIREMENTS

*screams silently*

 I really apologize to JiEun-ee unnie for this being so late as I was supposed to receive my package more than a month ago, but my local post office messed things up :x I only just received my package yesterday so screw you post office people!! T n T

Well, onto the review! Here are some official pictures:

International Giveaway + Gifts From VIVI-Clothes

Hello everyone!

Today I received a package (well, envelope...) from one of my sponsors, VIVI-Clothes.

Picture credit: www.asianfashionclothesblog.wordpress.com/

If you haven't already seen my post on VIVI-Clothes already, please do! Or, if TL;DR, VIVI-Clothes is a really cute company that focuses on Asian fashion based in Netherlands! It ships internationally and carries a lot of things from Korean fashion, gyaru brands (like Liz Lisa!), weird body slimming products, and even cosplay! Their customer service is super fast so I definitely recommend this store ♥

It took 10 days for my package to arrive from Netherlands to here (the USA). Pretty fast, in my opinion!

Sponsored Review (Kpop2): NEO Dali Brown

Hello lovelies! ♥

Today I will be reviewing NEO Dali Brown.

*gasp* Two review posts in two consecutive days?!
Yeah, summer just started this week and I have a lot of time on my hands ; u ; nojk I'm just not doing the stuff I should be doing right now L-LOL;;

Picture credit: N/A

These lenses were kindly sponsored by Kpop2.

Kpop2 is the best store for super cheap circle lenses! They have a whole category for lenses around $10 a pair~ When you visit their website, don't be fooled by the diameters. The diameter in the title of each circle lens, is its graphic diameter (meaning, how big the actual design is). I find this more helpful than the typical lens diameter because you can have a 15.0 mm lens diameter, with only a 14.5 mm graphic diameter which can really trick you when you're looking for something enlarging!

With quick service, kind staff, a huge variety of lenses to choose from, and really quick shipping (I received my package in 5 days, and they're based in Korea!), Kpop2 will be my go-to whenever I want to purchase circle lenses.

Information:

Lens Diameter: 14.2 mm

Graphic Diameter: 13.3 mm

Water Content: 45%

Base Curve: 8.6 mm

Type: 1 year disposal

Price:

$11+free shipping at Kpop2

Review: ROHTO Lycée Eye Drops (for contact lens)

Hello everyone!

Today I will be reviewing ROHTO's Lycée Eye Drops (for contact lens).

Picture Credit: http://japanbeauty.ecrater.com

ROHTO is really famous for their burning cooling effect eye drops, and I was really curious so I went ahead and bought one! I believe the strongest eye drop from ROHTO is Z!, and the least strongest is the Lycée.
I first heard about ROHTO from one of my favorite blogs, ekiBlog

Nozomi Sasaki is the spokesperson for these eye drops. Isn't the commercial really cute? ♥

Review: Atomy Evening Care 4 Set

Hello! 

My first review on this blog will be on the Atomy Evening Care 4 Set~

I actually started using it because my mother constantly raved about how amazing it was to me ^^; 

I was a bit skeptical because I had never heard of it before, but I did notice that her skin quality had improved dramatically. Her complexion is smooth, fair, and young in comparison to the dull, freckly skin she had a month or so ago. And so, I decided to conduct some research!

Originating from Korea, the Atomy Skincare Line has been broadcasted on MBC, KBS, SBS, and YTN! It is claimed as a "miracle" skincare line and has cured acne for many people, both female and male ; u ; 

Now, without further ado, let's get to my review~
