Alright, I'll admit, I've been obsessed with TesterKorea; this is my 4th purchase from them in as many months! Their Brands Sale section used to be so good; 30% discount on everything including my favourite Korean brand Innisfree. Sadly, this discount was recently reduced to 20% and excludes items under 3,500 KRW (that's masks out then!)
Having to pay shipping on top means that TesterKorea's overall prices are nowhere near as competitive as they used to be.
As a result, I've started shopping from an alternative store, BeautyNetKorea, who offers free shipping on everything, and therefore works out to be cheaper for small purchases.
I placed my BeautyNetKorea order on the 1st and it arrived today, so speed wise they're faster than TesterKorea, where orders take a week to be dispatched then at least another week to arrive. I'm not a fan of BNK's slow loading website or the busy layout, but I can live with these if the prices/service are good.
Everything was individually wrapped with bubble wrap and arrived in perfect condition. At the time of purchase, these products were not available from TesterKorea.
Other than samples, I got:
Secret Key Snow White Cleansing Foam - Like Innisfree & The Saem, Secret Key is another natural Korean brand
Secret Key Gold Premium First Eye Patch
Secret Key Snail 97 Soothing Gel
The Saem Saemmul Aura Liquid Highlighter #1 Pink Light, #2 Gold Light
The Saem Urban Eco Harakeke Firming Seed Sleeping Pack
The Saem Saemmul Smile Bebe Blusher #1 Rose Pink, #2 Mango Peach
Who knows, if TesterKorea has better promotions in the future, I'll return. For the time being though, I'll take a break from hauling products - have so much to get through (plus there's more on the way) that I've had to start a spreadsheet to keep track of everything >.<
What could possibly my last TesterKorea order:
I restocked on 8 boxes of Innisfree Yummy Collagen With Jeju Soybean. Really is delicious stuff!
While I appreciate being sent samples, I prefer to stick to the natural brands (e.g. Innisfree, The Saem, Beyond). Therefore most samples I get just end up end up in the bin =(

Innisfree products from TesterKorea

TesterKorea is my new go to place for Korean skincare/cosmetics. Granted, I only purchase Innisfree (paraben & mineral oil free brand) these days, but they are by far the cheapest with their 30% Innisfree discount. However, the trade off is that there's always a long wait for orders to be shipped.
This is my 3rd TesterKorea order, placed on February 14th, but it wasn't shipped till March 12th! According to their policy, if it takes longer than 7 business days for them to ship, they'll upgrade the order to EMS, which is exactly what happened with mine.
As far as I'm aware, TK has been backlogged with orders from the lunar new year, and the fact my order was pretty big probably didn't help either :p
Anyway, here's what I ordered:
Innisfree Face Designing Duo #01 Cozy Afternoon Sunlight
Innisfree Mineral Highlighter #09 Pink and #10 Starlight Gold
Innisfree Mineral Blusher #02 Pink - think I ordered the wrong shade though, I was not expecting it to look this pigmented!
Innisfree Soybean Firming Neck Cream
Innisfree Eco Science Wrinkle Spot Essence
Innisfree Green Tea Pure Gel Hand Cream - love Innisfree hand creams! They smell wonderful and are cheap too!
Innisfree Mineral Melting Foundation #Glow
Innisfree Ampoule Intense Cushion SPF34 PA++ #13 Light Beige
Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Nose Pack
Innisfree Camellia Essential Hair Oil Serum
9 x Innisfree Shadow Pencil - I got all of them except for #01 which I already own, so I now have a full set!
Innisfree Soy Lash Ampule - it's supposed to make your eyelashes longer & thicker
Innisfree Whitening Pore Eye Cream
Innisfree Whitening Pore Cream
Innisfree Whitening Pore Synergy Serum
Innisfree Whitening Pore Skin
5 boxes of Innisfree Yummy Collagen with Jeju Soybean (7 sachets per box) - most delicious and convenient collagen sticks. I've just finished 3 boxes, and will definitely be ordering more.
And as much as I appreciate samples, TesterKorea may have gone a little overboard this time by sending me 50 (!!!) sachets of Skin79 Super++ Beblish Balm Bronze... Since I never use bronzing products, these will just end up in the bin.
