Vessel Scents of Style Aromatherapy Necklace Review

Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own and completely honest, I do not lie to my readers.

I am SO excited to share this product with you all!!! I first discovered it through a deal website I frequent and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to get one and review it for you all. I have never seen an aromatherapy or diffuser necklace like these ones.

I received the "Circle" style  locket in the Antique Copper finish, the Kristen style chain, and a jar of Turquoise ScentSpheres. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, an aromatherapy or diffuser necklace is used with essential oils or perfumes to emit the scent of the chosen medium. Vessel Scents of Style makes beautiful customizable diffuser jewelry, keychains and satchets. I was really impressed of the fact that they not only made necklaces but earrings, rings and bracelets too! There are a bunch of different styles of chains and lockets as well as a few earring options.  They also offer chords and ribbon as an alternative to chains. There are even cute charms that you can add to your necklaces to give them an even more personalized look. There are different finishes to choose from as well. Really there are so many options!

The other thing that makes this brand so unique besides the selection and styles is their ScentSpheres! They are these special polymer beads that you put your desired scent onto and they hold/diffuse the scent as you wear them. This was one major thing that drew me to the brand as the scent spheres look MUCH nicer than the typical pads/pom poms traditional diffuser necklaces contain. The ScentSpheres come in so many different colors as well as different shapes. You can order them in bulk in a bag or in a cute little jar set meant for a piece of jewelry. Once the fragrance is fully dried you can also store the spheres in the jar. They are just really neat!

The style that the company sent me is literally perfect for me - it has a beautiful antique look to it (which a lot of you know I love) and the turquoise color is gorgeous! Behind purple, LOVE tortoise shades.

I should also note that the lockets open like so to add the ScentSpheres; the locket attaches to the chain via lobster clasp and they close with a magnet. The magnet isn't weak and does stay closed. It also helps that a lobster clasp is used which makes it impossible to open while attached. I love that it is easy to open though instead of fumbling with some sort of annoying clasp.

The metal is good quality and holds some weight without being too heavy. The chain is quite long which I actually really like, I can wear a shorter necklace along with it.

But how did the necklace preform at diffusing?

Wonderfully! The first time using these, I took the ScentSpheres and transferred them to a glass bowl where I added some drops of lavender essential oil over them; as essential oil should never be put in plastic. I allowed them to soak for roughly 45 minutes as I got ready for the day. I then transferred them onto a paper towel to dry and soak up the excess oil. I put as many of the spheres that would fit into the locket and put it on; going about my day.

That day I hung out with my best friend, Vicky. As soon as I got into her car she smelled the lavender and asked me about it. While we had lunch at her house her mother came home and she also smelled it as well. The scent lasted all day and was quite noticeable which I really loved! I love being enveloped in scents I love.

Although you can use perfume with these, it is not recommended. Perfumes contain alcohol which could ruin the ScentSpheres. Some essential oils can as well, but I haven't noticed any problems with the colors. Vessel Scents of Style also carries their own scent blends made specifically for their products; it seems that they don't sell the fragrances separately rather they will scent the ScentSpheres with them if you choose not to add your own fragrance.

You can purchase Vessel Scents of Style products from their website: https://vessel-scents-of-style.myshopify.com/ 

You can also purchase some already put together lockets via Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/VESSEL-Aromatherapy-Essential-Oil-Necklace/dp/B01EVLUZCG

Overall I LOVE this product so so much. I would love to get a pair of earrings or even another locket. I definitely want to get more colors of ScentSpheres! I hope you all enjoyed this review and that it compels some of you to check out this wonderful product.

Adventure Time with Heather and Vicky!

Hi lovelies!! ! Yes I'm back already! I have had a very exciting and busy week this past week. I got to spend some time doing some fun things with my best friend Vicky (Hii Vicky!). I really wanted to share about the fun places we went and our adventures.

My face from like 2-3 weeks ago. Hiiii! 

We FINALLY got to go to my birthday surprise. Where exactly did we go?  We went to a tea house!  As well as my favorite tea shop.

It was such a beautiful tea house called Tea with Tracy. It took us about an hour to get there but it was SO worth the drive! Plus the drive was fun, singing to Fall Out Boy and the Wicked soundtrack. And of course....Take Off by 2PM . I HAVE to listen to that song whenever I'm on a 20+ minute drive.

When we walked in, I was seriously in awe. It was just so beautiful!! The place didn't look like a typical coffee shop or cafe. It was very classy and charming. It was small and cozy.  I felt like every inch of the place was meticulously decorated. 

Even when I went into the bathroom, it was stunning. They had nice tea related pictures hanging on the wall and Victorian styled china dishes to hold things such as paper towels in the bathroom. I didn't go back to take pictures because I didn't want to be that creepy person bringing their phone into the bathroom. They even had a good sized shelved area displaying the teas they use, available for purchase.

There were two rooms in the tea house, when we walked in we were led to the seemingly smaller room, to a little circular table. The table was beautifully decorated, I was just so giddy with excitement. It had a white cloth tablecloth. A cute little lamp, a menu in a cute ornate frame, cloth napkins with silverware and a china sugar bowl with sugar cubes and tongs. 

There were also beautiful china tea cups and saucers. This was my tea cup:

This was Vicky's:

The room had lace curtains and really cute twinkling string lights I like to refer to as fairy lights. They really added to the atmosphere. Even the chairs were beautiful!

We were given a good sized menu of all of the teas that they serve. I was really impressed of their selection. They also had two themed sections. Princess teas:

And superhero teas!

We decided on strawberry green tea and their afternoon tea menu. We were brought a beautiful tea pot with our tea. 

We also got beautiful glasses with water. I was even able to get lemon and honey, which I frequently put in my tea. I was brought some itty bitty lemon wedges in a cute little cup.

With the tea house's afternoon tea course along with the pot of tea,  we were each able to pick a type of little tea sandwich, each a large scone and we each got to choose a dessert. We were brought lovely china plates and the food was brought on equally lovely china plates on a sort of cupcake stand.

These are the tea sandwiches we chose! Vicky went with chicken salad, I went with baked ham and Gouda.

These are the scones! Their scone options were limited and a bit out of the ordinary. We both got cherry almond, which was delicious! They also brought us whipped butter for the scones and homemade strawberry jam in a cute little cup.

For dessert, we each chose something different. Vicky went with chocolate chip cookies of which she got two of. I went with Swedish brownies. 

Now I expected actual brownies, so I was really surprised with what they actually were. Swedish brownies are actually pretty much almond flavored cake with a brownie consistency. It was really good but very rich and sweet. I couldn't even finish one and had to bring the leftovers home.

Here is Vicky being all cute and gorgeous as always ❤. 

Our afternoon tea was very lovely! The food and the tea were wonderful. The atmosphere was beautiful and it was nice to have a little tea party and catch up. I hadn't seen Vicky since June and I missed her so much!!!

From there, we drove to my favorite tea shop Simpson & Vale, the shop that I discussed back in February. We walked around looking at and smelling the teas. I was beyond thrilled to be back and thrilled to introduce Vicky to more types of tea since she is just starting to get into it. As part of my birthday gift, Vicky bought me a tin of tea and some samples of some other teas (thank you so much again!!)

I got a tin of Creme de la Berry which is a wonderful strawberries and cream flavored green tea. The samples I got are Creme Brulee, English Toffee, Strawberry Cupcake and Chocolate Caramel.

We went to some random shops to browse afterwards. We ran around Home Goods trying to take pictures together. This annoying woman kept following us every time we tried to go to a deserted isle. 

This is the first time since I was 18 that Vicky and myself have taken a picture together!! It definitely needed to happened, we both have changed so much since high school. I look like a hot mess admittedly. It was a rainy, but hot and humid day. I don't fair well with heat and humidity. We had been out and about for most of the day so at that point, I was sweating and my makeup was running. Plus my hair was up.

They had just started to get their Halloween decorations in so of course I was spazzing over those and some beautiful tea cups. Seriously, I go nuts when I see stores start to put out their Halloween products. It's the perfect time of year to shop for my year round decor! XD

On Thursday we went on another adventure to the mall for most of the day. I had been achy for days after this adventure, on Friday I could barely walk. I made the mistake of wearing flip flops to the mall, but it was worth it because I didn't get as overheated as I normally do in sneakers.

We had such a blast shopping! It was a beautiful drive to the mall, a very bright sunny day. The clouds looked like a painting.

I took a picture of the beautiful old carousel that the mall has near the entrance at the food court. When I was a little kid, one of my dad's relatives worked running the carousel so I would get some free rides on it.

We first hit Lush, I was devastated to find that they were totally out of their wonderful face masks. They just released two new ones that I really wanted to try. I had brought my 5 empty product pots to turn in for a free mask via their recycling program. The store was expecting a shipment of masks later that day, we went back to Lush probably 4 times and found out that there was a problem at the factory with the shipment. It figured that the one time I can get to the mall that I couldn't get a face mask. It's infuriating!!!

We then went to Bath and Body works, mine and Vicky's love ❤❤❤❤. We spend so much time walking around smelling everything. They were just beginning to get their fall scents in and I never had gotten to sample their fall scents before.

From there we went to Sephora. We had a funny experience there. When looking through skincare a Beyoncè song came on (Naughty Girl), suddenly the music got REALLY loud and we were wondering wtf it was about. We then realized that a Sephora employee was walking around singing to it really loudly. It was SO funny!!

On our way to Forever 21 to look at clothes we came across a new store called Kiko Milano that drew us in. It was a makeup store!! It was small but had a lot of nice products all at seemingly decent prices. Not drugstore prices but certainly not high end. It was like a little boutique. They had a large sale going on so we thought we would take a look. Vicky spazzed a bit over the price of the nail polishes they had on sale. We both LOVE nail polish.

After that  we hit CVS and the beauty supply store to look at more nail polish. I helped Vicky choose a blush from the Nyx clearance sale they had. We then ventured to Forever 21 to look at clothes.

We checked out Claire's because I love to get earrings from there. They always have some really cute ones. I was hoping to find some tea cup earrings but could only find latte and coffee ones. Oh well the hunt continues!

Lastly we went to Hot Topic. We always go there last because we KNOW we'll end up blowing all of our money there. I spent a good while looking for the anime section and going back and forth looking at necklaces. I really wanted a Ouija board cameo necklace they had but the price was a bit steep for what it was.

They had a separate small Attack on Titan section, small Black Butler section, anime shirt section and Dragon Ball Z section but I couldn't find the rest. I was miffed because I had yet to see anything Sailor Moon related. The anime shirts they had were Blue Exorcist, Soul Eater, AOT, DBZ, Sword Art Online and Bleach. I didn't take many pictures because Hot Topic is so damn dark!! I did see these awesome AOT water bottles. Yes, I spazzed. No I didn't check the price, I was afraid of the expense to be honest. 

I FINALLY found the rest of the anime stuff and accidentally yelled "Yes, I found my section!!!"...I got some odd states xD. I spazzed so hard at the extra Black Butler stuff, Sailor Moon stuff, SAO and the Free! Wallet.

Curse you horrible Hot Topic lighting! 

I laughed my ass off when I found this, an Attack on Titan Titan mask!! XD

While waiting for Vicky to decide on what else she wanted to get to take advantage of the sale I looked through the bucket of buttons at the checkout desk. I was looking for a Sailor Moon one but couldn't find it. One of the employees literally dumped it out to help me find a Chibi Moon button, but we kept finding Saturn ones. Why did no one want you Saturn? ;___;. If I didn't find the larger Sailor Moon button I would have gotten you Saturn. I also found a Black Butler Button and a Kirito one. I already have an SAO button so I didn't get the Kirito one. The employee was awesome, we chatted for probably 20 minutes while Vicky tried to decide what to buy. We talked about Sailor Moon and how much of a bitch Rei is to Usagi a lot of the time. She was really into anime and Harry Potter. I love Hot Topic employees!

I was having asthmatic problems and I was exhausted so from there we left the mall and headed home. But it was such a wonderful and fun day!!

So what did my mall haul consist of?

At Lush, I got a small slice of their Rockstar soap. I am in LOVE with their soaps. This particular one smells like candy. I also considered Honey I Washed The Kids because it smelled like heavenly caramel.

 I got samples of D'fluff and Angels on Bare Skin to Try. I was all out of Ocean Salt and couldn't buy a pot so I got a sample of that as well.

YAY for lazy pictures!!!! 

At Sephora I just got 3 samples, two face masks and Too Faced Hangover primer. I've been DYING to try it. Vicky purchased one of Sephora's new house brand sleeping masks and one of their sheet masks, I'm excited to hear her verdicts on the products.

At Bath and Body Works I got an Iced Coconut Coolada shower gel and a French Lavender & Honey lotion. The lotion I got for free because I had a coupon, the shower gel I got on clearance. I refuse to pay full price for anything at B&BW because I know that just about everything eventually goes on sale and they always email coupons. 

The Iced Coconut Coolada is described as having the key notes of coconut milk, passion fruit sorbet, orange zest, creamy vanilla and lime ice. To me it smells like coconut with a hint of pineapple and vanilla. It is a refreshing summery scent. I didn't like the scent of the matching lotion but I LOVED this shower gel. A thing to keep in mind with B&BW products is that the scents of matching shower gels, body sprays and lotions often differ at least a bit.

The French Lavender & Honey is described as having a fresh blend of French lavender, lily of the valley and nectarine de province warmed with sun kissed honey and white oak must. To me it smells like sweetened lavender. It reminds me a bit of one of my favorite Bath and Body Works lotions, Honey Sweetheart. This is also my first bottle with the new formula and packaging. I am loving the feel of the new formula!!!

Sorry for the shit-tastic picture! 

At Kiko Milano I got this kawaii nail polish. It's a light sort of robin's egg pastel blue with blue specs in it. It is called Cupcake nail polish, I unfortunately can't find a shade name. They had a huge sale in the store and I got this really cheap, it was under $2. When I put the change down of $2.02 (price + tax. Sales tax is ridiculous in Connecticut.), I cracked myself up by saying "Now that's my two sense cents". Ha ha ha, I'm so punny!! Seriously though, I'm so excited to test out this color. 

Lastly at Hot Topic, I got all of this taking advantage of the buy 1 get 1 half off sale. I love all of their sales. Back when I started shopping there when I was in middle school, they never had sales!!! They also had these little cards they would stamp with each purchase where you would eventually earn a discount. Now they have the HT+1 rewards program.

Anyway, I bought this Black Butler hair bow. Vicky had to talk me into it and convinced me I needed it. She was so right.

Now I can work some Phantomhive realness. Yes...I have watched too much of RuPaul's Drag Race. 

I got this really cute little galaxy hair bow.

This was so hard to photograph ;____; 

I got two buttons, a large Sailor Moon one and a small Black Butler one.

I got this beautiful long crystal necklace. I am VERY into crystal jewelry at the moment.

Lastly I got this Sailor Moon poster. 

I haven't had the chance to even unwrap this. Need to play some poster/wall tetris first!

What the poster actually looks like

They had a good amount of anime posters hidden in the corner. I spazzed so hard when I found them, I probably got some odd looks. I already had 2 smaller Sailor Moon posters in my room so I was a bit hesitant (the other choices were between Soul Eater, Black Butler and Ouran High School Host Club.) But Vicky talked me into it because I'm a SUPER fan of Sailor Moon. Plus it had my Mamoru baby *^*. If I didn't get that poster, I totally would've gotten the Ouran one since I already have a huge Black Butler wall scroll. I have absolutely no idea where to put the poster and I'll have to move stuff to make room, but Vicky was right. I NEEDED IT!!!

My room is becoming SO weeby!!! Or in simpler terms it's turning into a nerdy-ass anime room. I can't help it, I love my shows!! When I get really into something, I pour my entire soul into it. Slowly my room wallpapered with band posters is being covered in anime posters and figures. I love my habitat though, and that's what truly counts.

A few other exciting things happened last week. I began working on a book I was thinking of writing thanks to urging from my friend Natasha (Hey girl!!!! ❤) and of course Vicky. It is non fiction and a bit about my life. It isn't an autobiography but rather of my experiences with something. I'm not sure if I will go anywhere with it or even finish it but it is an exciting endeavor. I miss writing a lot.

I also found out that one of my oldest friends who is like family finally set her wedding date (after being engaged for like 3 years!!) I'm so happy for her and her fiancè. Even more news, I'll be part of the bridal party (I've never been a bride's maid before) and I'll be doing the makeup for the wedding. I know it'll be a lot of work but I couldn't be happier to be a part of her special day ❤❤❤.

Lastly, this blog has gotten over 2,000 page views!! Yaay!!! 

Thank you so much to everyone that reads this blog from the casual readers to my dedicated ones. I love you all so much and am so grateful that you care enough about what I have to say to read my posts. I never thought so many people would read my blog!! 

I'm sorry that this post was so long! I had such a fun time that I wanted to share all of our adventures and my hauls. I hope you enjoyed reading that little slice of my life and that my biggest blog fan (Vicky ❤) enjoyed reading about our experiences too! It's been such a busy and crazy week for me, I'm happy that my anxiety problems didn't totally ruin all of it. I'm starting to slowly learn how not to let it completely control my life.

This week we have Vicky's birthday adventure and another busy week for me. I'm stoked to have some more fun with her and to give her her gifts.

 Hope you all have a lovely day, my dears ❤

Long Hair Problems

I love having long hair. In fact, I take pride in my long hair.  It has become a part of who I am. My mother refers to it as "the mane". It has taken me many years to grow it out, after I made the mistake of getting it cut just above my shoulders when I was 13. However long hair can be a pain in the ass!! So today I will be discussion some of my daily struggles with my hair. Some of these are admittedly comical, others rather annoying. My fellow long hair girlies will understand my pain!

• Getting caught in your pants or bra

Yes, this really happens to me! My hair is about mid butt length if not longer. It will get tucked into my jeans sometimes. It even gets caught in my bras when I'm putting them on, if I don't have my hair up. I have had times where I have clipped my hair into my bra clasps. Hence why when I'm at home not really doing anything, 80% of the time I have my hair up.

• Wind

The wind is my enemy. If I don't have my hair secured like crazy on a windy day, I end up looking like Cousin It from The Addams Family. Even worse: open windows in a moving car. Hair whips around everywhere and I can't see a thing.

• Adds heat

Having long hair in the summer is torturous. If I leave it down I swear it adds 10-20 degrees of extra heat. So I try to keep it up, my favorite being in a bun because it keeps all of my hair out of the way. Ponytails are fun because I can use my hair as a whip xD. So don't piss me off when I have a ponytail going on!

• Clothes get damp after a shower

I have this problem a lot. Even if I leave my hair drying in a towel for a while, if I keep my hair down after a shower my clothes get damp. Damp clothes aren't fun! So I tend to keep my hair up and let it dry partially before taking it down.

• Takes forever to dry

Long hair really does take forever to dry!!

• Requires extra care - Can get brittle or dry

If you have long hair, chances are it will require extra care. The longer it is, the more likely you are to have brittle hair. My hair is pretty strong, but it can get really dry. It requires extra care such as using moisturizing shampoo/conditioner, using a leave in conditioner and using hair masques.

• Getting tangled in it while sleeping

Yes...it happens to me all the time!! I will wake up with either my hair wrapped around my neck or around me in some odd way. Even worse - when I wake up with it underneath me, I move and end up pulling my hair.

• Getting hair caught in things

Sometimes, I will get my hair caught in drawers. I've gotten it caught in seat belts and car doors before as well. Luckily this one does not happen to me a lot.

• Thinking it's a spider

I hate this the most. Very often, my hair will brush against me and I will think it's a spider crawling on me. Spiders are my mortal enemies....I hate bugs in general but nothing makes me run faster and scream like a little girl like spiders. So naturally I will feel something on me and dart up in bed freaking out. Oops.

• Sitting on your hair

I know some girls with super super long hair have this issue. I have only sat down once to find that I was sitting on my hair.

• The cutting hair comments

Not that I truly want to cut my hair...but after a while the comments from relatives scolding me against cutting my hair gets irritating. Especially if I'm just going to get a trim. If you want to look at long hair so badly... fucking grow it yourself!! Don't tell me what to do with my hair. The only comment I dislike more in regards to my hair is the classic "Why don't you cut it then?" when I bitch about my hair.

• The dreaded hair cut 

I know many girls with long hair absolutely dread going to the salon. Many times when you JUST want a trim they decide to hack a lot more off. So your beautiful long hair that you loved so much becomes much shorter. Oh the horror!!!

There you have it, my long hair problems!! I have a few "problems" posts planned for the future, so stay tuned for that! Any long hair problems that I didn't mention? Or if you have short hair, short hair problems? Comment and let me know!

Until next time (whenever that is)

Korean cosmetics

This is another post that was voted for in one of my polls a long time ago. I am so sorry that it took me forever to post! It's been sitting in my drafts for such a long time, I just never got to it! But, I do keep my word and here it is! Thank you so much to the lovely individuals that voted! I seriously love you for it ^__^. I love talking about Korean cosmetics. Their products are just so fun! I love that I am slowly seeing popular products and brands there begin to be popular here. BB creams, as well as the current popular option BB cushion originated in Korea. So did sheet face masks. Recently Sephora started carrying Tony Moly products on their website.

I am a die hard lover of Korean cosmetics and beauty products. Why? They're awesome AND they have the cutest packaging! Seriously, the packaging is so much better than American cosmetics. Right now, my favorite brand is Etude House who by far has the cutest packaging. I love all of the crazy products they have there! A popular product that seems crazy is a face mask for the lips. I also watch a lot of Korean dramas, some of the actors in these dramas use brands such as Etude House, Holika Holika, Tony Moly, Innisfree and Skin Food. I love being able to use the products that they do. Two of my favorite Korean actors/actresses, Park Shin Hye and Lee Min Ho have modeled for Etude House. The popular Korean group SHINee has also worked with Etude House.

In my opinion, Korean skincare is the best skincare in the world. They have SO many products and options and even cheaper products are top notch.

So what products do I personally own and use?

I own 2 BB creams by Skin79, they make some of the best BB creams! I own the orange vital BB cream and the pink. The orange has a bit of a yellow undertone and dries matte. The pink has a bit of a grey one and leaves a more dewy finish. The pink is a tad bit dark on me so I do only wear it in the summer. I love wearing these BB creams in the summer, they both have SPF and last all day. I REALLY want their green BB cream, I hear it is even lighter than the orange and perfect for porcelain complexion girls such as myself.

I also own Holika Holika's Essential Petit BB cream. It comes in a small tube, great for travel. Great coverage, I never need to use concealer with it. It is my favorite BB at the moment.

The other Holika Holika product I own is called the Jewel Light eyeliner in Pink Topaz. It is a really shimmery light pink eyeliner. I love using it as a highlight in the corners of my eyes.

L:Plum Mousse Cake, R:Strawberry Choux

I own a good amount of Etude House products. Their blush products are my absolute favorite, the packaging is adorable and they're pigmented! First up is the Sweet Recipe collection  Lovely Cookie Blushers in Strawberry Choux, a light sort of pastel pink and Plum Mousse cake, a plummy berry
color.

Clockwise from the left: Peach Sugar Cake, Strawberry Chiffon Cake and Blueberry Cheesecake

Next are the Sweet Recipe All Over Colors  in Blueberry Cheesecake (a fuschia/purple color), Strawberry Chiffon Cake (a bright pink) and Peach Sugar Cake (a perfect pinky peach). These are meant as an all over color product for cheeks, eyes and lips. They start off as a cream but dry to a powder consistency. I love using them as blush. They're pigmented and buildable. Plus look at the tin they're packaged in! So kawaii!

Next is the Etude House Baby Mint Choux base, from their Choux base collection which are different color correctors/primers. I have the green one to balance out all of the redness in my face. I have a lot sadly. (In makeup terms - to neutralize/cancel out a color use the opposite color on the color wheel. Ex: use green for redness, yellow for purpley under eye circles). I LOVE this stuff! It has a very silky consistency and also it is a mint color. Most green color correctors are more of a warm toned pea green and don't work as well with my cool undertones. This product works PERFECTLY with them. I need to order a backup tube, as I never want to be without it.

Lastly: my Korean skincare products. I own a bunch of face masks. I have a good amount of PureTree sheet masks, they make their masks with a bunch of different fruit/plant extracts, even honey and hyaluronic acid extracts. I buy packs of 12 of them on amazon, which ends up being around $1 each. They're always super relaxing and make my skin super soft and smooth. I do need to use a moisturizer afterwards though. I always make sure to have a good amount of these around and I usually use one every week. I end up looking like Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) when I wear them, so that is highly entertaining.

The Vanedo masks came as freebies with an order of PureTree masks. I haven't tried them yet.

Tony Moly Tomatox. YES the packaging is literally a plastic tomato. So cute! I love this face mask. It makes my skin so soft and it's fantastic for use in the summer. It smells like cucumbers (I know, go figure).

I also have a good amount of samples of Korean products to try (Korean beauty sellers/manufacturers LOVE handing out samples)

Would I use any of these products on clients?

ABSOLUTELY!! Makeup wise, I would not hesitate to use Skin 79 BB creams on a client or the Etude Choux bases. Skin 79 is considered more high end and their BB creams are pricey. I luckily know how to get mine for half price.

I always recommend the Pure Tree face masks to people and would totally tell a client to use one before they come to me to apply their makeup.

Where do I buy all of these products?

Good old Amazon and Jolse.com. With Amazon, just be cautious of who you buy from and read seller reviews to make sure you aren't getting knockoffs. Jolse is a Korean beauty online store. I have ordered from them quite a few times. They are great, I always get authentic products as well as samples and free gifts. Their customer service woman is very helpful and sweet. Their website is safe to order from. ALWAYS pay for tracking! Their tracking costs under $3 and their shipping is always free. Your order will ship from South Korea and you will need to sign for it so you want to be able to track it.

There you go my lovelies! Your guide to Korean cosmetics and some reviews from yours truly. Do any of you have experiences with Korean beauty products?? I hope this was helpful, as purchasing international beauty products can be daunting. I am personally used to it - I have ordered many fashion/beauty items from Japan, China and South Korea.
