The thing about Online Shipping : Cherry Culture Haul

I am terribly lowdated with Western Beauty Sites. Cherry Culture has been in the business for awhile.  They are currently clearing up their remaining stock and did not have much lipstick shades to choose from. :( Mostly nudes.

The lipsticks and lip balms were wrapped in bubble wrap.

My order included:

1. 8 NYX Round Lipsticks (Fortune Cookie, Hot Pink, Champagne, Iced Honey, Tea, Cream, Summer Love, & Miracle) ~ USD $1 ea
2. 2 Lip Balms from the Cherry Culture Line (Chocolate & Coffee) ~ USD $1 ea

Shipping was USD $ 11.95 (for standard shipping without tracking).
The total of my purchase came to USD $ 21.95 ~ around NZD $30

Shipping is quite expensive but it was worth it. I ordered on the 1st May, it processed on the 5th and it arrived on the 9th.

But the thing is - NYX Round Lipsticks usually retails for $USD 4 and costs NZD $10 each. So my purchase from Cherry Culture was worth the deal. Too bad they won't be selling NYX products anymore. They will be focusing on their own line.

The thing about online shopping: Haul from Innisfreeworld.com

Did you know that Innisfree's Official Online Store offers free shipping for your first order? YES, THEY SHIP TO NEW ZEALAND. No, I was not sponsored.

My sister ordered a huge order from them, and I was looking at her parcel with google-ly eyes. I decided to subscribe to them since they offer loads of the "buy one,free one" offer.

Then they had cushion day (50% off all their cushions), and I went with a purchase. Because I'd always wanted to try one! Cushions currently has a huge cult following in Asia and are generally expensive.

My purchase included:

1. No sebum mineral ( 5g ) ~ NZD $9.38
2. Water Glow Cushion  ( 15 g ) ~ NZD $16.07
3. Long Wear Cushion Refill ( 15 g ) ~ NZD $9.38
4. Eco Magic Puff ~  NZD $3.35

Total : NZD $ 38.18 (Free shipping yas!)

I received a mini Green Tea Skincare Kit for finishing one of the newbie how-to guide.

I ordered on 8th April and received it on and 14th April via EMS shipping (with tracking number).

I received it on time for Graduation and used the cushion for my makeup during the ceremony. Will do a review about it new week.

My verdict : I am very satisfied with my purchase. My sister had something (the ecobag and one of her masks) that was out of stock, the customer service was quick to deal it in an appropriate way. She got sent it around 2 weeks later. Plus, they have loads of deals if you are keen on buying Innisfree products and might retail for a cheaper price (compared to Ebay and other Korean Beauty sites).
