Unboxing: Summer 2024 Skincare Haul

As my skincare stash from Hong Kong is dwindling now, I decided to scope out some new products. But between summer sales, late-night T&T runs, and Amazon Prime Day, it got a little out of hand:

Kumano Hatomugi Lotion and Etude House Soonjung pH 5.5 Relief Toner

Curel Japan Intensive Moisture Care Moisture Facial Lotion II, Moisture Facial Milk, and Moisture Facial Cream

Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Serum, Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer, Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Intensive Moisturizer, Water Sleeping Mask, and Pink Lemonade Lip Sleeping Mask

Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer and Mango Lip Smoothie

But this should last me until next year, right?

Unboxing: LINE FRIENDS Collection Store — BT21 Winter 2023 Haul

I spent so much money at Line Friends last year that I ended up getting a $20 off coupon for a purchase over $100. So I decided to get myself some early Valentine's Day gifts (belated Lunar New Year gifts?) that started off with the new BT21 x Etude House skincare collaboration for the Year of the Rabbit and ended with the cutest BT21 mugs I've ever seen.

BT21 x Etude House Cooky on ToppH 5.5 Relief Toner and Hydro Barrier Cream
BT21 x Kundal BT21 Baby Shea Butter & Macadamia Pure Hand Cream Set 
BT21 x Kundal BT21 Baby Shea Butter & Macadamia Pure Hand Cream Set 
Left to Right: Juicy Peach (Tata), Blackberry Bay (Koya), Baby Powder (RJ), Jasmine Woody (Shooky), White Musk (Mang), Ylang Ylang (Chimmy), and Cherry Blossom (Cooky)
BT21 Minini Mugs
BT21 Minini Tata and Koya Mugs
BT21 Minini RJ, Shooky, and Mang Mugs
BT21 Minini Chimmy and Cooky Mugs

Of course, I ended up buying more than intended because international shipping is only free with the purchase of $150. So this is how BT21 gets all my money. Only thing is, I got another $20 off coupon with this purchase...

Photolog 2020: Day 126 of 366

Finally got my order from YesStyle.com! I ordered this stuff over three weeks ago but my package got held up in BC, so it's only arrived now. This particular shopping spree started off with innocently looking for Innisfree toner because I was running out... and ended up with me spending two hours looking at lip balm. But I did come out with a decent haul:

Tony Moly Wonder Tea Tree Pore Fresh Toner and Etude House Wonder Pore 10-in-1 Freshner
Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish SPF 50+ and Sunprise Mild Watery Light SPF 50+ Sunscreens
Rohto Mentholatum Water Lip Balm SPF 20 in Moisture Milk, Water Lip Gloss Balm SPF 18 in Honey Lemon, and Water Lip Color Balm SPF 20 in Peach Gold
Rohto Mentholatum Water Lip Balm SPF 20 in Moisture Milk, Water Lip Gloss Balm SPF 18 in Honey Lemon, and Water Lip Color Balm SPF 20 in Peach Gold
Yadah Lovely Lip Tint Stick in Peach Slush, Etude House Cherry Sweet Color Lip Balm in Lots of Cherry and Bursting Cherry
Yadah Lovely Lip Tint Stick in Peach Slush, Etude House Cherry Sweet Color Lip Balm in Lots of Cherry and Bursting Cherry
Lemona BTS Special Edition Vitamin Powder and LookATME Aqua Moisture Face Mask
YesStyle.com has proven to be a little too addictive to shop from. Not only do they have a plethora of Asian beauty brands that isn't as readily available here (well, not available at all because all the stores are closed due to the pandemic right now, but you know what I mean), but there are tons of items that will have an extra discount on them for a limited time. Like that Etude House sunscreen? It's 60% off until next week. Or that Yadah lip tint? It was 30% off. And I got 15% off my whole order with a discount code I got off their Instagram, so I may have bought more than I planned to. (It's how I ended up with six lip balms.) Plus, they gave me a sheet mask and a box of 10 Lemona x BTS vitamin powder packs (I got J-Hope) as free gifts with my order. THIS IS HOW THEY GET YOU TO BUY THINGS YOU DON'T NEED.

And I never did get that Innisfree toner.

Finally got my Etude House x KitKat Play Color Eyes Mini Kits! There's two kits, in Original and Strawberry Tiramisu, and each kit comes with a mini eyeshadow palette in KitKat-inspired shades, a pack of actual KitKat bars in its respective flavour, and a soft red velvet KitKat makeup pouch. When I first saw the marketing for them, it was love at first sight. Everything about them is my aesthetic. And the fact that it's a collaboration with KitKat?! MAKEUP MEETS SNACKS?! I had to have them. Unfortunately, these were so hyped up across socialmedia and blogs that they were sold out everywhere online. There's no Etude House stores here either, and any Asian beauty stores that even carry the brand didn't have these kits. So, I asked my BT21 seller, Mr. Jaewon, if he could do me a favour and see if he could find any in Seoul even though these are not BTS- or BT21-related products. He messaged me about two hours later and said he called about 10 stores and managed to find them at the last location he called, so he picked them up for me. (Seriously, he's my Korean BFF.) Now the issue is, can I bring myself to actually touch them?
