eBay Seller Review: f2plus1

Hi, everyone!
How's everyone doing?

It's May, can you believe it? Time flies by so fast~

Anyway, I was thinking of maybe making reviews on online sites or eBay sellers I've ordered from...but then again, everyone would have different experiences, right?

I should have done this before, lol, but yeah, maybe I should start doing so from now on!

Anyway, I ordered some items from this seller, f2plus1!
I ordered two items:

Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux in Peach Choux and Tony Moly Latte Art Milk Cacao Pore Pack !

As per usual with Korean sellers, some sell it cheap, some sell it slightly more expensive BUT what I love most about them is that their shipping is almost always free!

This was also the first time I bought from their shop properly (you know, where you put things in carts) because apparently you can get extra bonuses or something (I forgot haha) but well, you'll just see from photos.

I've ordered from Korean eBay sellers a few times, maybe 3-4 times I think and I'm always amazed how they pack everything well, in a brown box and this time, it's no different!

Btw, I asked them to mark my item as "gift", just to see if they would LOL.
And they did.

But then again, I think most sellers would do this?

And here's my package!

Well, kinda.

Just tossed it all back in for the photo.

I rarely get to open my packages myself at the customs because my dad picks it up for me.

So I dunno how it was packaged but nothing came broken, in fact, the boxes were perfection :D I love my boxes!

My dad also told me the customs thought I ordered chocolate.
...I'm not that desperate to order food online D:

When I first got it from my dad, I smiled seeing the number of samples I got XD Then I saw the cuteness and the tiny-ness of the items.

You know, I just realised something.

I always somehow order things in twos! I never noticed that.

Anyway~

FOOD BASED SKINCARE OVERLOAD!!

Well, kinda. It's more like food-themed makeup/skincare overload XD

These two were in my wishlist :D

....in my head I think.

The Sweet Recipe Line's not in Brunei yet and it seems like Peach isn't coming out here :O I hope I'm wrong.

I'm not sure of the price in Brunei yet though.

The mask though, I think it was BND21.90? Correct me if I'm wrong.

And wheee :D

Samples I got!

There's 7!! That's a lot more than usual. LOL usually I get 4 :D from two items so whee!

I'm so excited for these items and some of the samples :)

I can't wait to try the Choux Base and the mask!

So, my verdict?

Pros:

- Seller ships a day after payment (Made the order on the 10th, shipped on the 11th of April)

- Items arrived safely (packed nicely in a sturdy box)

- Shipping didn't take long (17 days + A few days marinating in the Post Office)

- Generous amount of samples (7 instead of the usual 4 for two items)

- Items as described (yep, yep)

- Prices are reasonable (all you gotta do is compare and compare)

Cons:

- I paid extra 2 dollars for tracking BUT the tracking didn't work D: (Cannot track in Korea, cannot track when it arrived in Brunei also! So basically what's the use??)

- Some items in the store might not be as cheap. (Especially if you wanna order from just one shop)

So, do I recommend this seller? Yes!
Would I purchase again from this seller? Yes!

Have you ever ordered anything from this seller?
How was your experience? Do share!

*All items were purchased with my own money and I found the seller after some comparing :D*

Take care, everyone!

My 100th Post Giveaway!

Hey everyone :D

It is 4 in the morning right now as I'm typing this, and boy, am I sleepy!
But it's okay because I'm so excited to finally announce my first ever giveaway on my blog!

To be honest, I really wanted to upload my Miri Haul from yesterday but then it's the 100th post! I can't delay posting this giveaway! I'm so excited and so scared at the same time because I don't know how this works!

I'm going to use a widget to make this easier for me! If you're familiar with Rafflecopter, maybe you can do this well.

You see, this giveaway isn't much to be honest. I've collected things around, making sure I like it before I included it. As this is a tester kind of giveaway, I didn't want to giveaway something very extravagant just yet. I love sharing though :) and picking gifts, making sure it's thoughtful.

If I had the extra money, I would have included more things but I guess for now this is fine. If you've read my post before, then you should know I've taken leave from university and am currently trying to get my health in check. This 30th, I'll finally have my colonoscopy and endoscopy. Not really looking forward to it but it's the only way to know what's really wrong!

Anyway, what I really had in mind for my first giveaway were things I really love, but then I decided that I'll keep that for future giveaways :)

So here are the (very modest) prizes:

100th Post Giveaway Prizes

Here are the prizes!

Plus some samples!

Here are the closeups of the bag and some swatches (minus the eyeliner because I won't swatch them)

This is the case:

Adorable isn't it?

This is what the palette and lipstick look like (these are mine, of course):

L.A Colors in Cafe Au Lait

Baviphat Barbie Pet Magic Girls Lipstick in No.8 (forgot the name)

Here are the swatches from the palette (without a primer) and the lipstick:

Under room light. The far right one is of the lipstick.

This is with the flash from my phone.

The pigmentation of the palette is very good surprisingly. The only shade I don't like is the white one but other than that, it's a good neutral palette :) It's compact and you can easily do touch ups. The sponge tip applicator is very rough by the way. Very different from the Asian sponge tips, which are softer. 

As for the hand cream, I find it necessary to have hand cream everywhere you go! I can't live without hand creams when I go out. I'd feel weird! The hair velcro is cute and fashionable and would help keep your stray hair away from the face when you apply makeup!

Okay, now the thing with the eyeliners...

Blue World :O

These are actually from the set my sister got me. However, I did not use it as I also bought something similar. I can't really say much about them except I know that the black one that I do use, is very pigmented. Blue isn't really my thing for eye makeup either, so maybe you can rock it better?

So, I think that's about it for the giveaway!

I do hope people join it (I know it's not much, but it's a start). This giveaway is in no way sponsored (except partially by my parents I guess)

Do share this giveaway if you want :) If I can get to fifty followers, I can start planning for my hundred followers giveaway :D

Make sure you follow all the rules :) it's not that hard.

EDIT: It's brought to my attention that not a lot of people can see the Terms and Conditions on Rafflecopter, so here are the rules:


This giveaway is not sponsored. Below are the rules for this giveaway:

1) It is open internationally. 

2) Participants must have permission to share their address as I need it to send the prizes (for international entries and participants not from Brunei Muara, unless we can meet up at Bandar). 

3) Winner will be chosen at random. Should the winner not contact me within 48 hours, he or she will forfeit it and a new winner will be selected, also at random.

4) Giveaway hunters would not be entertained. Unfollowing just as soon as the giveaway ends would result in getting blacklisted.

5) Once I reach a hundred followers, a new giveaway would be announced.

My Twitter sucks so I'm not gonna force you to follow that but I'm on Instagram quite a lot so you can see my mini hauls on there easily. Who knows if you can get hints for future giveaways there!

Below is the widget for the Rafflecopter :D

Just in case you don't know, I'll list the compulsory steps:

1) Follow my blog via Google Friend Connect (There's an error in joining this right now, I don't know why but please still try follow the rules once it's fixed? Thank you)

Yes, I joined just to see how it works LOL.

Finally It Has Arrived (Feat. A Small Haul)

Okay, I think I'm okay enough now to blog again.

So hey, how've you been?
I've been fine.

I think.

Anyway, you know how I reported my sample order from The Sample Store as lost? Well, whaddya know, it arrived last Saturday.

From Singapore TO Brunei, it takes a month plus? Really? Seriously?
REALLY?

I can't comprehend how much my small package has been volleyed around countries.
Or maybe it has been hiding in the Brunei P.O under all the big packages. Either way, I'm glad because you can only order one type of sample ONCE only from the site. It bummed me a bit at the thought lol;

So I'm happy it arrived.

Here are pics of the samples I chose:

The sample collection.

Lioele Beyond The Solution BB Cream samples

Ginvera Green Tea Nude Cover BB Cream samples

The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso Whitening Serum samples

I haven't tried any of them since I'm using this serum already. It's Garden of Eden's Rosa T Acne Serum. It's basically Tea Tree Oil that doesn't sting as much LOL. With some extra scar healing ingredients in it. It's okay so far, I think

I'm looking forward to trying them out but not now, maybe soon.
I need to buy more of the small sample jars so I can store extras in it lol.
I'm quite stingy when it comes to the littlest drop left.

With the Rosa T Acne Serum, I also got this!!
I'm loving it so much right now.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Smoothing Cherry

Unfortunately this is the clear balm type. I really want to try out Cherry Me but I doubt the'd sell it here :(
I love anything with cherry, you see.

This might replace my HG in lip conditioning, lol. My poor Cherry Vaseline.

The thing I like most about this is that it's not as oily as the vaseline but still moisturizing.

Other than that, my order from SaSa(dot)com has arrived!!

7 items huh? Orly? 

Ooooh, a Sasa plastic bag!!

Tee-hee. So excited for this!

As you can see, there are actually 9 items. One item was a set of three lol, so yeah. Good deal.
Oh, and you can see I ordered a back-up of the Sasatinnie Hair Mask.

It's THAT good.
It is.

I might try out the Spot Whitening Serum tonight.

I know I should list the things I got but I'll save that for later lol.

Oh, and I'm quite disappointed. I thought when I ordered this, there was a free mask promo.
Apparently I didn't get it. LOL. I didn't notice that I didn't :(

Ah well, I have like, 6 masks in that box so I'm fine!!

I'm tired.

So yeah, 'til then!!

The Sample Store

I just made my very first "purchase" from The Sample Store :DDD *applause*

I used the points for three samples that consists of:

- Ginvera Green Tea Nude Cover BB Cream Spf30/pa++ (3 days supply)
- Lioele Beyond The Solution BB Cream - 50 ml
- The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso Whitening Serum (3 days supply)

I'm guessing they'll come in packets?
But I might be wrong.

Since this is my first time, I can't really elaborate about the service nor review it yet but here's to hoping it'll arrive sometime soon :)

Really looking forward to these samples :) especially the Ginvera BB Cream, because I have this coupon thing I can use for it LOL.

But yeah....

If you're interested in checking it out, here's the link to register:

I'm also trying to make a purchase at SaSa...but D: there's something effing wrong with my i-bank.

( ;A; ) it's not showing the real fund D:

Sigh, I really need to call the bank :/

'til then!
