For some reason, ever since the Christmas season came around I've been watching Charlie Brown on replay so when I saw the items in the Snoopy x Skinfood collection, it was an immediate "MUST BUY" moment for me. I've rarely ever been as excited for a Limited Edition collection as I've been with the Snoopy x Skinfood. I think the last time I was excited must have been when Skinfood released their Milky Rose collection which really made my jaw drop when I saw it. Skinfood is one of my favorite brands for skincare. Unlike some of my favourite brands like Etude House, Innisfree, and Aritaum, it's not owned by Amore Pacific. I believe someone told me that Skinfood was actually one of the oldest cosmetic brands still around. There's just something very special about it. That being said, I love their Skincare products but not so much their colour cosmetics.
When my package came and I saw all those Snoopys, I was beyond excited. I placed my order on TesterKorea and I'm glad everything fit perfectly in the box and none of the paper boxes were crushed.
This is everything that came in the box - minus the vase and flowers of course.
All the loose items were placed in plastic bags and the cushion was bubble wrapped so that it wouldn't be damaged when shipped around.
What I Ordered
Aritaum Fresh Essence Mask x 5: These are one of my favourite sheet masks.
Skinfood Black Sugar First Serum 2X Essential: I have reviewed the Skinfood Black Sugar First Serum (Gold Edition) here before and I love it. I remember it really help brighten my skin and I've been meaning to repurchase for a while now. I couldn't find the original so I'm guessing Skinfood has replaced it with 2X Essential and Essential Light version.
Missha x Wonderwoman 4D Mascara: I've tried the 3D and sadly, it didn't work that well for me. I think my eyelashes are just too wimpy for it. Regardless, I'm trying the 4D now because it's cheap and the packaging is really adorable. Originally I ordered only one mascara but one of the items I ordered was out of stock, so I replaced it with the 4D mascara since they were at similar price points. It was either that or store credit.
Missha Eye Fit Stick Shadow (Dry Lavender): I was really excited for this because the promotional pictures show it as a cool tone taupey colour. I've used it now and I have to say, it's actually got a lot more red in it then expected. I think this colour might work on some people but it makes me look like I got an eye infection as most warm tone colours do. On the plus side, it glided on stayed all day.
Royal Honey Bounce Cushion [Snoopy Limited Edition]: This item is what propelled this haul. Korea knows it's all about the cushion cases now and tons of really beautiful cases are coming out. Even though I currently have a few cushions open, I really wanted this purely for the case. I'm so glad that the picture is imprinted into the case - won't have to worry about that scratching off! Of course, hopefully I will adore the Royal Honey Bounce Cushion as well.
Skinfood Royal Honey Good Moisturizing Cream [Snoppy LE]: Skinfood has said that this can be used on the face as well as the body. Although I was expecting to really love this product, the scent threw me off a bit. It smells a bit like olive oil mix with spoiled milk or just plain repulsive. Did I get a bad batch or does this product really smell like this? Someone please confirm. Skinfood skincare usually smells amazingly delicious and this is far from delicious. Reviewed Here.
Skinfood Snoopy Dry Decal Nail Stickers: These were just way too cute. I should have got the black and white ones too.
Samples: everything here is something I want to try.
That's it for my haul! Happy Holidays everyone!
Great haul! I should have ordered some Snoopy x Skinfood stuff >< I love the collaboration packaging! I ordered the Missha 4D mascara as well. It'll be the first non-Western drugstore mascara I've ever had. I'm assuming since it's a Korean brand it'll hold curls? Anyways, hope to see a review on that mascara since I haven't gotten mine yet!
ReplyDeleteNot not necessarily, there's been a few Korean mascaras that sink my lashes. However, there's this wonderful product from Etude House called the Dr. Mascara Fix it. You can get either a clear version or one with fibers and it will hold a curl so that whatever mascara you put on top won't sink down. It's usually the Japanese mascaras that never fail me!
DeleteI was eyeing the Snoopy cushion too! The whole collection is so cute. Skinfood was one of my favourite shops to shop in when I visited Seoul.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Aritaum's mugwort sheet mask is one of my favourites!
I've never tried the Mugwort one! Yes, the entire collection is really adorable. I also wanted the lip oil (pink) but it was always sold out.
DeleteI haven't see much for the Snoopy collection review, hope you'll do it :D
ReplyDeleteThe Missha Wonder Woman mascara looks tempting! I originally wanted to buy that as well but keeps changing order and remove it from the buy list ;(

I do that too! Even now, there are some products that I think I should have bought. If the lighting is well and I've time to review, I should be able to some reviews up ^^
DeleteThe Snoopy collection looks so cute! I just ordered the Time Revolution Treatment Essence from Missha and Skinfood Black Sugar Mask, they're both supposed to be delivered some time in January and I can't wait since I've never tried products from either of these brands. :)

I've tried both of those and I really like them! You've picked good items :)
DeleteI also have the moisturizing cream; unfortunately it really does smell like that :(. The body butter and the mask smell delicious however.
ReplyDeleteThanks for confirming with me! I've been using the cream since I got it and besides the smell, it's absolutely fine!
