Birthday Haul/Koreadepart.com Review

Yo~

So I recently got some stuff from this Korean website called Koreadepart.com.  It's a really great site....except for the fact that most of the products you would probably want are sold out.  Also, if you don't live in Korea, SHIPPING IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!!  I couldn't believe that we had to pay $25 shipping which was half the total amount of what we purchased!



1.  Holika Holika Jewel Light Waterproof Eyeliner in 03 (dark purple blue with blueish flexes) and 08 (pearly pink with pretty shimmers and glitters), $3.10 each

2.  Skinfood Good Afternoon Peach Green Tea BB Cream (SPF 20 PA+) in Natural Beige, $8.20

3.  Holika Holika Strawberry Pore Magic Cover Magic Sealer, $5.74

4.  TONYMOLY Cats Wink Shiny Skin Base (SPF 15 PA+) in Mint, $6.32

5.  Missha The Style Under Eye Brightner in Light Beige, $3.16

6.  Holika Holika Oil Queen Cotton Primer (SPF 15), $9.25

7.  Holika Holika Oil Queen Cotton Makeup Fixer, $5.62

8.  Holika Holika Oil Queen Cotton Pact (SPF 30 PA++ clear), $7.38



Here are the samples that came with our purchase <3

REVIEW OF KOREADEPART.COM

OVERALL: 2.5/5


PROS

Prices are superrrrr cheat!
Wide variety of Korean skincare, makeup, etc.

CONS

SHIPPING IS OUTRAGEOUS! :(  (it may be fast but it's super expensive if you live outside certain Asian countries) if you do not live in the Asian countries they list, your shipping will be calculated based on weight....ours was about $25

Weird Payment Process (you have to pay shipping fees after you pay your total if you live outside of listed Asian countries)

Many coveted products on the site are usually sold out

SUMMARY


Would I buy from this website again?  Maybe.  I like the sites prices but the shipping makes me cringe.  If you live in Japan or China, and plan to buy from this site you will have a flat rate of $20 or free shipping if purchase is over $200.  I think I'll go back to Pretty & Cute or Sasa.  These sites offer free shipping to the US for purchases of $50 or $75.  Sasa also always has a lot of shipping deals every now and then.
