I recently ran out of day & night cream and decided to order some stuff from Rose Rose Shop because I haven't since August! For those of you who are new to the blog, Rose Rose Shop is a discounted Korean beauty product online store. Allie & I first discovered Rose Rose while googling cheap asian beauty products because we wanted to try something new and we both love Asian culture. We placed our first orders and we were nothing but happy about it, so we decided this was one of our go-to shops to buy from.

That being said, today I will be reviewing a product from my recent order: the Mise En Scene Hello!! Bubble Foam Colour in Raspberry Red.

I was a little skeptical ordering hair dye from another country because... well... it's from another country! I had read reviews online and they all said that it was a great product and that they would buy again. But with the examples given, many of the people had very dark brown or black hair and when they used the hair dye it gave them a hint of red to it. I had no idea how my hair colour was going to turn out!! So I bit the bullet and got it.

The reason why I got it was the foam hair dye. My boyfriend actually dyes my hair himself (he's such a pro for only doing it three times) so I wanted something a bit easier for him to apply to my long hair. Dying my hair usually takes about two long gruelling hours.

The contents of the box came with two white packets and a bottle with a nozzle, gloves, conditioner, and even a plastic cape!

The application was fairly easy. You pump the dye straight into your hand and apply. I got a nice scalp massage and applying it only took 45 minutes! The hair dye did not have a strong chemical smell. It smelled absolutely amazing! Like a coconutty perfumey smell. The only thing I didn't like was that it made my head itch a bit, while other reviews said that it didn't.

When you first apply the product, it doesn't show up on your hair right away. After a few minutes though, my hair looked extremely dark. Nothing like the colour - almost black. I was a bit afraid that I got a colour that was too dark for my liking, because this product is made in Korea and Koreans have naturally black hair.

For the instructions, they were fairly easy. I understand and can read a bit of Korean so that helped me differentiate between what packets were what, but by looking at the pictures a foreigner could completely understand. The instructions were very fun to look at also.

I wasn't sure about the time I should leave it on, so I left it in for about 45 minutes. Rinsing it out was a bit of work because there was a LOT of hair dye (I like to used the entire bottle in one sitting). The hair dye while rinsing out was really dark and almost looked like oxidized blood. But after a while it slowly let up, and I got to use the conditioner. The conditioner was a really bright orange which was surprising! I can't exactly remember the smell of it but I remember thinking "Well this isn't a smell I have smelled before..." so I'm not really sure if I like it or not? Ahah.

I left my hair to dry naturally and went to bed. When I woke up, I looked in the mirror and I was completely surprised!

My hair was SO red! It is easily one of the most vibrant colours I have ever used on my hair, besides the hot pink I once had. My hair was super soft, smelled so good. I was pleasantly surprised how much the colour took. But would it pass the shower test?

Red hair dye is known to fade quite quickly. Anybody who dyes their hair red knows that a lot of colour comes out while washing your hair, and to keep the water cool or lukewarm. Surprisingly, this hair colour does not come out a lot. I can barely see the dye in the water when I'm showering! I was really happy with that, and even continuously rinsing my hair after sweaty work outs, it barely fades. I am so happy with this product, Mise En Scene has a new customer!

You can probably tell I will buy this product again. I would rate it 9/10, just because my head got a little itchy during the application. Other than that, I highly recommend this product for people who want a vibrant red colour, who have really long hair, and want a easy go-to product when they don't have a lot of time. 

You can buy it here.

I have been forever curious about Asian beauty and decided that time was time so Rae and I placed an order with this website not knowing exactly what to expect either.
For starters let's talk about the website itself. Roseroseshop has a very interesting layout that I actually find pretty user friendly.  There are a ton of options including your sales, sample packs, best products and brand names! And even in those options you are also able to go from lowest price-highest. A+ for the website and layout in my books.

Secondly, the customer service and shipping.  The best way to get any type of customer service from this website is on their Facebook page here.  I had tried sending them an email and a message on the website where it shows your purchase and nothing, even after I received it.  Sent them a message on the Facebook page and got replies within 24 hours.  You can also private message them as well and they will reply and sort any issues you have with them.  Don't even bother trying to contact them any other way.
 Shipping was good, it went smooth and fast, considering it was coming from somewhere in Asia.  I had placed my order July 28th and I'm not sure but my assumption is that a product was not in stock but that was fine because I had other inquiries about the total price that I was charged.  One thing you need to know about this website is that it charges in USD so say if you are ordering from the Canadian currency it will be switched over to USD.   During that delay of shipment I had decided to order 2 more face masks which they were more than happy to oblige to. I ordered those on the 30th and shortly after my package was shipped out. I went to pick up my package August 11th. which came nicely packed and nothing was damaged. Perfect!  Also before I forget, this store charges shipping based on weight which is also one of their downfalls.

Starting with the samples that came in my package because everybody loves free stuff!  Not too generous but not stingy either. I am mediocre yet greatful for my free samples!

Signature Wrinkle Filler B.B Cream, apparently the brand name is MISSHA which is not on the sample anywhere in English anyway. Actually nevermind, upon further investigation there appears to be a website to their direct site.
Time Revolution the First Treatment Essence, another sample from MISSHA.
Daily Soothing Essence Sun, a sunscreen of SPF30 PA++ from Liole.
Skin Food Quinoa Rich Body Wash
Prestige Creme D'escargot B.B, a product by It's Skin. I am assuming this is a B.B cream of some sort.

I had bought 2 mascaras, Holika Holika Magic Pole and Tony Moly Circle Lense.  The Magic Pole mascara has a huge circle at the tip of it's wand and when I go to put it back in the tube I feel as though it's going to break off, that's how big the circle part is and how flimsy the application stick is! It is still a good quality wand don't get me wrong I just get nervous. Have yet to try the Tony Moly mascara but as far as the wand goes it just seems like your standard mascara.

Next we have Snail Gel.  They are clear and have a weird texture that I can't really explain. As far as their scent goes it is nothing too overpowering and actually smells kind of good. Let's just say if you didn't have any perfume on you would substitute for that-as weird as that sounds lol. These creams are also cooling when you apply them.

3W Clinic's snail mucus feels a little bit sticky after application, whereas Secret Key's applies much more smoothly and isn't sticky at all.  As far as what they are supposed to do I have yet to see any improvements on my skin so time will just tell on that part.

 

If you are looking for Facial masks and nothing else then stop right here. This is most definitely 100% the place for you. I have only had the chance to try the 3W Clinic Pomegranate face mask and so far it hasn't done anything for me. Let me just say that my skin is pretty good the only thing and I wouldn't even go as far as saying that it was a "negative" part on me is that my cheeks are generally flushed no matter what I do. And for the obvious during the winter my skin gets dry since I live in Canada(Lol). But otherwise I am beyond excited to try the rest of these out! All in due time, right?
Etude house blending sleeping cream is supposed to have a smooth and moist finish.
I had purchased the 10pc set of 3W Clinic's Cucumber along with the pomegranate but it seems to not be available on the website anymore unfortunately.
LUS bee venom mask. Well, I bought this solely because of the name-it is quite hilarious if you ask me-as well as the price, WOW!
LUS Collagen Essence mask. I do have high hopes for this product.
I can't seem to find the link for the black packaging mask but it is SYN-AKE & EGF Mask by Good Face. It is supposed to make your skin soft and elastic. I purchased this because it looked really cool and has a snake on the packaging, how could I resist that? Oh and it was on sale!


Now, onto the main parts of this purchase.

 

The main reason I had purchased the Miracle Argan Treatment Oil Perfume is because I had done a little bit of research on the company and it looks as though they have a few lines for them, and they look promising as well. And also that it has a floral scent!  The container is glass and is done extremely professionally, as I had suspected it would be.  As for the scent it is an extremely mild floral scent but does the job.  This product works well and leaves my hair shiny and not greasy! I really like it so far. Let's not forget to mention that this is 100% pure Argan Oil. Purchase of do not regret.

Next we have this lip gloss in the color Coral by the same company as the Argan Oil, Welcos Merit. This initially drew me in because of the ADORABLE packaging and had been trying to decide whether it was worth my purchase or not but in the end obviously it landed at my doorstep. When I got it the 2 tubes confused me and I still have yet to figure out what the tiny one is all about. The big container on the other hand is the actual lip gloss/tint/stain/stick.  When I had tried it on the first time it went on a little blotchy, which made me confused but after another application it actually smoothed out and looks more of a pink shade on me but looks quite nice either way! Now, the small container in the description says "Crazy Watery Lip Tint", 'watery' would be the right word for this. I just don't understand how it works. The color comes out more orange than coral and actually has a scent of orange as well haha. I am not a huge fan of this tiny one.  Would I buy this lip gloss again? HELL YES! Even if it is just for the bigger tube, it really is worth it. In fact, I have the Fuchsia one in my cart right now! Yet again another purchase of do not regret.

Last but not least I bought the Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion Foundation in natural beige with an SPF50 and PA+++. I wasn't sure what to think of this when I ordered it, all I knew is that I had to start testing the waters in the world of foundations, and why not a good place to start but in Asian products!  Before finalizing this purchase I watched a few youtube videos and people seem to have enjoyed this product. 

Getting a closer look you can see that it is actually a sponge full of liquid foundation.  The application is actually a tiny compact sponge that you just pat on your face and rub in a circular motion I am assuming? I haven't quite familiarized myself with this product yet.  I've used it once so far and haven't had any sort of reaction with my skin on it so that's a bonus! First what I do is put a concealer stick over the red spots to let them fade a little bit then what I did was instead of my normal foundation routine I went with this product.  It worked well but it isn't 100% full coverage. I'm not so sure if I'll be using the cushion they sent with the foundation, have yet to decide on that.  After I applied it, I still felt sticky and shiny.  So with that being said I finished off my face/base routine with my Inglot foundation powder.  That really set my foundation in place and "mattified" me or so to speak.  lol.
Before I make a solid decision on whether this product is worth the full price I will have to try it out a few more times than just once lol. But so far I am not unimpressed, so that is not a bad thing!



Back to the roseroseshop store as a whole. Would I repurchase from them again? Yes. Like I said, the customer service is good BUT only if you know where to go to, which won't always be user friendly, especially if you don't have a facebook account.  The prices are something to live for but they get you with the shipping-you can't always win, so suck it up princess!  I do thoroughly enjoy this store though. I'm looking forward to doing more of these hauls with you including more pictures, because who doesn't enjoy pictures?! I know I don't.
