SircleSamples (A way to score beauty items for free!)

Ello, I don't know about you but I love free stuff. Heck, I'll take free anything. But free beauty stuff!? *starts spazzing out* The only bad thing with free stuff is often you would have to do a lot of work to get them. Which is no fun. :( I'm a lazy college student, so nope sir, nope. However, SircleSamples isn't that bad. All you need to do is fill out some surveys and write some reviews and to me those things are kind of fun... (Yes I'm a dork.) You can also refer friends to get points as well.

Here are some things I got for FREE! Did I tell you FRREEEEEE? :D I'm not Jewish I swear. Good god, I really hope nobody gets offended.

All of these items took about a week to get to me. :) You buy these items with points. (You get points from reviews, surveys and referrals.) Items cost about 300 points and up.

This is their site if you want to try it out:
sirclesamples.com

If you're feeling extra generous please use my referral link! I would greatly appreciate it!  (^__^)/

Ebay Haul! (October) :D

I am a online shopaholic. I am not proud of it. BUT IT'S SO MUCH FUN!!! Like other things in life... I bet it would be fun to punch strangers in the faces, like in "A Clockwork Orange," a bit of the old ultraviolence. But is it right? No, Tiny Tim it isn't!

Anyway, this is what I bought from ebay. They all arrived in October, a collective haul. (Shipping is a bit slow, since most or all of these items came from Korea.)

Isn't this the cutest Iphone 4 case EVER? (I love the design and the color! My phone is gonna look pimpin!)
Price: $3.75 USD

 This is Tony Moly's Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling cream. (80g)
It is suppose to get rid of dead skin cells. Sounds really interesting and it looks like a apple! Smells like one     too! Can't wait to use it. :D
Price: $7.88 USD

This is Tony Moly's Tomatox Magic Whitening Massage Pack (80g)
I got this because I have a few acne scars on my chin and I hope this will get rid of them. Caz they be annoying.  Can't wait to try this! Hope it works!~ 
Price: $8.99 USD

BB Creams! I fell hard for these magical wonders! Your skin looks amazing after using them. I live in the South and it's really hot down here and I would always forget to put on some SPF. BB Creams took care of that problem.
Price: $10.60 USD (for all three. WHAT A STEAL!)

More BB Creams :D Both of them are made by The Face Shop. I think these only come in one shade. The seller was nice enough to include 2 Face Masks. ^__^
Lovely Me:Ex BB Cream (40ml) Price: $3.26 USD
Clean Face Oil-Free BB Cream (35ml) Price $3.26 USD
Keep in mind that I won them on ebay, so the price might be different.

Tony Moly Mini Tint (Cherry). I heard so much about these lip tints so I had to try it! The packaging is just so cute! Look how tiny they are!~
Also yay! 2 free Skinfood samples! I'm starting to really like that brand.
Price: $3.19 USD (for two)

Nyx Dark Shadows Palette and Nyx Box of Smokey Look Palette.
These I actually got on HauteLook, so not really ebay.
They were both 40% off from their retail price so I couldn't pass them up. Or I might regret it later... :(
Price: $33.50 USD (for both with shipping) I think shipping was almost $7.00 dollars.

I will do reviews after using them for at least a week. (By then I should have a pretty good idea of how they work and stuff. STUFF BE GOOD.)

Etude House Shini Star Lip Balm Review (Key's Passion Fruit #3)

OH YEAH! It's been a week since my ebay order of Etude House Shini Star Lip Balm (Key's Passion fruit #3) arrived in my lovely mailbox. Long title... I know. I feel like I have a pretty good idea of the product so I decided to review it!

As you can see above is my order. The seller was nice enough to explain that after you use up your lip balm there is a autograph below it. Of course I bought Key's so, his autograph will be there. I'm actually not that of a big fan of SHINee but I still find the idea really cool.

Pictures of the advertisements. The color of the lip balm does look a little different but meh, close enough. 

The reason I bought the lip balm was because of the Kdrama, “To The Beautiful You.” There were  so many Etude House products in it! Damn you Kdarma making me hoard even more makeup products! Advertisements in Kdramas are just downright evil!!!

My naked lips. :( 

 My lips with the Shini Star lip balm in #3 Passion Fruit (2 coats)

As you can see, it didn't give me too much color. It is very sheer.

Price: $6.00-$11.00 USD 

I bought mine for $7.48 USD

The good:

• Made my lips very soft
• SMELLS AMAZING! (Like a sweet fruity scent.) I'm sorry I'm horrible at scents.
• Shiny, like gloss
• Sheer (I like sheer lip balms, if I want color. I will grab a lipstick.)
• Pretty packaging 
• If you like SHINee then buy!

The bad:

• Not long lasting 
• If you eat/drink you must reapply 
• If you hate SHINee then... don't buy?

Would I repurchase?

Heck yeah! I actually just bought all five of them... No self control what so ever... I REALLY like this lip balm! SMELLS AMAZING! (Of course I can't speck for all of them yet because I only have Key's right now.) I don't know about you but I NEVER can finish a lip product because I would keep buying new ones and forget the old ones but not this one! I used it everyday since I got it. So if you are wondering about this lip balm, buy it! : )

Found a new product to love! <3

Dear My Blooming Rose lipstick (OR204)

Yes! Dear My Blooming Rose lipstick came! I ordered from ebay.com and it took about 13 days. :D When I saw it in my mail box, I screamed for joy! I was so excited for this because I loved the CF! TOO CUTE! Also this ebay seller is awesome! They always include free samples. Which is a good thing and a bad thing... it makes me buy more products! 

You can watch the CF here:

Cost $10.24 USD
Color: OR204 (A 'hot' color)


What I think about the lipstick:
Pretty girly packaging.
Soft on lips.
A bit sheer when applied.

Would I repurchase?
Nope, because it's just ok nothing too special about it. Other than it looks pretty.

I also got the Kiss Note book. (Wish it worked! xP)
There are 6 color pages and the rest are blank with the same design.
