Cosmetic-Love Korean Beauty: Part 1

Hi raspberries! Yesterday I placed an order at Cosmetic-Love, an online Korean beauty store. They offer free shipping, which is pretty great, and a reason I selected them. You can pay to get EMS shipping, but it's quite expensive. The free shipping is supposed to take roughly 2 weeks to arrive, which for the low price of free is fine with me! 
Today I want to talk about the things I bought. When the products arrive, I will do a review of them with my own photos, and talk about the service. On to the products!

 
Face Products

$11.34
The first product I got is the Sweet Cotton Serum Clear Pact from Holika Holika. I got it in #01 Pure White. I've been needing a replacement face powder, and figured I'd try this one. TonyMoly had a face pact I used to really love, but I think it's been discontinued. I read a review saying this product smells like cotton candy, which would be amazing!

$6.94
The next product I got is the Surprise Stick Concealer from Etude House in 1. Light Beige. I really love stick concealers, but my YSL one ran out, and I'd been using a cream concealer to get by. This one was so cheap, I figured why not give it a go.

$6.94
Next is the Lovely Cookie Blusher from Etude House. I already own this blush in #1 Strawberry Mousse, which is the babiest of baby pinks. There are some other really cute blushes on Cosmetic-Love, but since I already know I like this one, I decided to get another color. This time I got #7 Rose Sugar Macaroon.

Eye Products

$7.45
Next I got the Oh My Eyeline liner from Etude House in 1. Black. This is a brush-type eyeliner, and I normally stick to the felt-tip pen types, but I read several reviews saying this is a great eyeliner, and the application looked easy enough. 

$4.63
I've really been needing a brown brow pencil, because mine was the retractable type, and the mechanism kept breaking until finally all the product broke off. Back to the good old wood pencil types! I love the Babyface line from It's Skin, although I've never tried any of the products. They're just too cute. This Powdery Wood Eyebrow pencil was the perfect thing for what I needed. I got it in #2 Natural Brown.

$7.83
This next product is an interesting one! This is the Dear Girls Cute Eyes Maker from Etude House. In Korea and Japan, it's currently a big trend to define your "tear bags" under your eyes. These aren't the same as dark circles or eye bags. Tear bags are the small lines that appear under your eyes when you smile. The tool has a light sponge tip side, and a dark side, so you can emphasize your tear bags, or Aegyo Sal, as they're called in Korea. 

Lip Products

$9.45
 I've wanted to try this lipstick for a while. It's the Dear My Blooming Lips line from Etude House. I've really been needing a replacement red lipstick, so I got RD302, which is a cherry red. This line has so many beautiful colors, there's something for everyone! It's also currently being sponsored by K-Pop group SHINee, and Sandara Park from 2NE1.

$6.94
The last product I got is the Fresh Cherry Tint from Etude House. I love Korean lip tints, and the trend of ombre lips. There are many lip stains the dry more matte available in Korean cosmetics, but I thought the slightly glossy look of this one was cute. I got it in PK002 Fresh Cherry Hot Pink.


That's about it for this post! I can't wait until the products come in and I can give you guys a review. From my experience so far, it seems like Cosmetic-Love is a really great site with a huge range of Korean cosmetics, skincare, hair products, and more!
