I had 2 hauls within the last couple of weeks that I wanted to share. Some are repurchases, some are new to me. Mini reviews below.
StyleKorean: order placed Feb. 20, dispatched Feb. 22 (DHL), received (Southeastern US) Feb. 26.
(left to right)
-Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence (r/p) – HG essence for me and I will continue to r/p as long as they make it.
-Dr. Ceuracle V K Beginning Set (new) – I wanted to try the Gel Cream without buying a full tub of it, and I knew I’d use the essence so it was low risk. So far I really like it. It’s a typical gel cream consistency, has almost no smell, and feels soothing on the skin. It’s basically the Essence in a gel cream. Will probably r/p.
-CosRx Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion (r/p) – my teen daughter’s favorite moisturizer and we will continue to r/p.
-Mary&May Mini Vegan CICA Tea Tree AHA PHA Blemish Toner (new) – looking to replace my Some By Mi one. The tea tree smell and feel in the Some By Me is too strong for me. This one smells and feels milder and may end up being a r/p.
-APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Sheet Mask (new) – been seeing some buzz about this brand, saw the mask on sale, and grabbed it. Haven’t tried it yet.
-SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Watergel Sheet Ampoule Mask (new) – haven’t tried yet, but SK had a good deal on it so I snagged a couple.
-Numbuz:n No. 2 Goodbye Redness Derma Tone Up (new) – got this to replace the Dr. Jart Cicapair Re-Cover, which is just way too thick for me and difficult to use (although very effective). I have mild rosacea and need to cover redness most days. So far I like this one. It’s as effective as the Dr. Jart but much thinner and easier to spread. Works well under foundation (which I haven’t needed as much with this) and over my skincare. Stays green on the skin longer than Dr. Jart but evens out after about 10 minutes.
-Rom&nd Bare Juicy Lasting Tint in Pomelo Skin (new) – I had a different color of this (nudy peanut I think?) and loved it but wanted more of a nude. It’s a good nude color for me, but the formula is a little thinner and not as pigmented as the other one was. I like it but it needs to be touched up more than my previous one did.
-Beauty of Joseon Mini Relief Sun (r/p) – I already love and use this but wanted a mini size for travel.
Freebies: 1. Mary&May Collagen Line 3 Step Sachet – the cleansing foam was suuuper stripping and had a strong floral smell. WNP. The Lotion is a moisturizer, not a traditional Asian lotion. It was meh. Haven’t tried the serum yet. 2. Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Active Berry First Essence Mini – it’s ok and I’ll use it up but prob WNP. It is hydrating. 3. Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence Mini – love that I got a mini of this as a gift. This is better for travel than the one that came in the combo pack since it’s smaller and in a plastic bottle.
YesStyle: order placed Feb. 20, dispatched Feb. 29 (I ordered a few things that had a 3-5 day stock time, so I expected it to dispatch a little later) (FedEx Express Shipping), received (Southeastern US) Mar 4.
non-skincare items: Intimo Sleeping Eye Mask (one of my favorites, r/p), Rhea Dual-ended Silicone Spatula (new), and Stapi Hair Brush Cleanser (new, and this thing is amazing lol)
-Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water (new) – I’ve wanted to try this for a while and it did not disappoint. It’s not super hydrating, but it calmed my redness almost immediately and left skin very soft.
-Rohto Mentholatum Hada Labo Gokujyum Cleansing Oil (r/p) – my HG oil cleanser and I will r/p forever.
-SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum (new) – Haven’t tried yet since I have a couple of tubes of other sunscreens to finish first, but I’ve heard great things.
-SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream Mini (new) – I’m not sure where the “cream” is in this. It’s a completely gel texture. It’s pretty hydrating but probably will not r/p.
-Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner Mini (r/p) – I love this stuff and couldn’t pass up the mini size for travel.
-peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint in Nude Area (new) – Also a good nude color for me, but is more pigmented and lasts much longer than the Rom&nd. Fades to an even stain too. Love it so far.
JUNG SAEM MOOL Essential Skin Nuder Cushion (new) – Loving this so far. It covers well but still looks like skin, and Fair Light is almost a perfect match for my MAC NC13-ish skin (pale with yellow undertones, nearly impossible to find in Korean foundations and cushions). No oxidation at all after several hours of wear. Came with a refill.
Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum (new) – starting to get some fine lines under my eyes, so we’ll see how this goes. It’s comfortable to use so far.
Somehow got left out of the YesStyle photo – Acwell Licorice Toner full size and BOJ Relief Sun full size (both r/p). I’ve used both of these for a while and will continue to r/p them.
No freebies from YesStyle! I was so disappointed, especially given the size of the order. First world problems, I know.

The APLB sheet mask is good, it’s basic but it works fast. My face looks brighter directly after, and actually lighter/whiter in color. The only thing I dont like is the eye holes but I end up cutting it to fit better which is fine.
The BOJ ginseng toner is amazing! I use it day and night. So glad you like it.
Also the BOJ eye cream is going to blow you away. Give it 2-3 weeks and you will see a difference. I use mine day and night. I did a trial all over the face and it was non irritating. So if you are new to retinals you can try it that way as well.
