Here's what the package came in, small and very well packaged. It was very interesting to me that they would individually package their items.
This one was a pretty lengthy process.
Monday, October 10 - 1:21 PM: I placed an order at testerkorea.com.
Thursday, October 13 - 9:51 PM: I received an email with an apology stating that one of the items I had in my order was discontinued. That's no problem, I can deal with that. I was given the choice between getting a refund for the item into my account or choosing an item with similar weight/price. Note: TesterKorea does not have free shipping; shipping is based on the total weight of your order and you are given a choice.
October 15-18 - Correspondence. One thing I'd like to note is that I made a mistake in my order and had chosen the wrong color. There was no hassle with that exchange, though unfortunately I kept choosing colors that were out of stock, oops.
Thursday, October 24 - 2:55 AM: I received an email stating that my order had finally shipped. They also thanked me for waiting a long time, so it felt kind of nice to see that it wasn't a totally automated message.
Thursday, November 3 - 1:30 PM: The package was delivered to my door.
Their listed estimated shipping for Rincos said it would arrive within 3 ~ 7 days. My package took a total of about 7 business days. There is tracking for Rincos shipping.
I received a total of 5 items and a few samples:
- A'PIEU Cotton Lip Fluid #CR01 (3,800 KRW = ~$3.40)
- A'PIEU Cover Forever Gel Tint (YoonCharMi Edition) #RD01 (5,800 KRW = ~$5.20)
- A'PIEU Lasting Nails #CR02 (
- innisfree Real Color Nail (Jeju Color Picker Edition) #89 (3,000 KRW = ~$2.62)
- Klairs x Merry Between Mochi BB Cushion Pact (23,900 KRW = ~$21.41)
Note: These prices were the prices listed for each item during the time that I paid.
The A'PIEU gel tint is red with pink undertones, and it has a bit more of a watery consistency than I was expecting but good nonetheless. I still have a stain on my hand from the swatch despite how faded it has become.
The Cotton Lip Fluid, however, I'm absolutely in love with. Without flash, the deep pink color didn't seemed true to color in the photo so I stuck with the flash.
Note: I washed my face off to try on the Mochi BB Pact and the Cotton Lip Fluid did not come off. I didn't rub it, mind you, but the fact that the color didn't wash off under the running water was impressive to me. The gel tint mostly washed off and left a subtle tint, not quite as impressive to me.
For the Mochi BB Cushion Pact.... The packaging is beyond cute. At first I didn't even want to use it because of how cute it was. But after peeling the seal away, I touched the sponge and it was kind of.... dry? It didn't really feel right. Oily, even. I'm not sure what to do about it, so I just left it like that but used tweezers to push the bb cream to the surface. The texture still doesn't feel right but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As you can see from my finger it does seem to be mixing with the oil a bit. what do ;-;
Edit: I couldn't handle it and just flipped the sponge. Turns out I really like it!
Side note, though, the sponge applicator is incredibly soft and squishy albeit it smells a bit funny.
I'll be sure to try it out later and hopefully be able to put together a review.
Overall, I'd like to say that TesterKorea had very good customer service, very timely responses. They seem very efficient in their business. I do hope that they'll start updating their product listings a bit more diligently (I think it's mostly just because I chose older products, though). I really liked ordering from them. Their selection range is huge, so if you have a lot of little light-weight items that you want to buy from the kbeauty side of the world, I highly recommend trying out TesterKorea.
I'll definitely be putting in another order later.
Alright, that's it for my haul! Thanks for stopping by and reading!
