Welcome to our website !


Shipping
First off, I was introduced to Beauteque from Rissas instagram and was super excited at what was in previous boxes and all of the hype that I just had to get a box for myself!
Let's start with the shipping, I only have a few discrepencies that are pretty menial and won't affect my final thoughts on the box or company.  The first one I had which was my fault for not checking the cut off line for the current months box.  I guess I had ordered my box right after the July box deadline had past which had caused me to wait a whole extra month and wonder where my box was!  Luckily with their excellent customer service I had a fast response to my concerns and no more worries had taken place!
My second concern was that, oh.. August 20th or more had gone by and I still hadn't received any notification on my box being shipped or anything! Where is my box!!! Yet again, another email was sent out from me with great customer service, apparently they were having a slight delay in their shipping this month and they would contact me with a tracking number when it was shipped! Great, Thank you!  I got an email that it was shipped a few days later, but with no tracking number which was quite unfortunate but after only a few short days later I received my package!  Beauteque was kind enough to send my box in Express Post with no additional costs for me.
I want to give shipping a 4/5 but only because I didn't receive my tracking number, that was pretty odd in my opinion but other than that it was great.

Now onto the goodies!
I think it was a little bit misleading because this month said a 'Treasure chest' and the inner child came out in me and I thought it would come in a little treasure chest as a box. haha silly me.  Anyway, it was disappointing to see a bag instead of a treasure chest.

No worries, we got a free face mask!
 Just look at how cute that little wee face is, aw aw aw!

 So I received 3 masks in my bag.
 The first mask showing is the Hanaka V-Line Chin Patch. This gets strapped to your ears and goes around your chin for 20-30 minutes then you remove and massage any remaining essence into your skin.
The middle mask is the Pure Derm Hair mask.  In this bag you have the option to get the Honey Mask, Chamomile, or Jojoba oil mask.  I received the chamomile mask which is a helping tool to reduce the look of damage and frizz.
The last mask is Pure Derm Clean and Fresh Peeling Gel. This mask is designed to deep clean and exfoliate skin for a refined finish.

Next we got 3 makeup items. 
The first one is blotting paper.  This is designed to blot away any excess oil without ruining your makeup!
Next up we've got Holika holika Wonder Drawing No Smudge Liquid Eyeliner.  ~Say that ten times fast. 
Lastly, The Saem Perfection Concealer Tip Cover.  In this box you had the option to get three different shades.  Luckily I think I got a shade that is quite  close to my skintone! ~Crosses fingers this will be a close match!

Lastly, is the Mizon All in One Snail Repair Cream.  I love Snail gel creams so I have no doubt that this is a great product for anybody! The description says that it's a high concentration of 92% snail extract which promotes skin repair to effectively resolve skin problems.



Let's talk about money
Holika Holika Eyeliner $13.50

Han aka V-Line Chin Patch $3.80

Pure Derm and Fresh Peeling Gel $8.50

Mizon All in One Snail Repair Cream $25.00

The Saem Perfection Concealer Tip Cover $8.50

Pure Derm Hair Mask $6.95

Blotting Paper $5.00
Bag $5.00
Free Han aka Mask $5.00

Adding up to a total of $81.25USD value!    This beauty box is $24.00USD.  I think that it's a great value for somebody who is a resident of the United States or the conversion rate is basically on par with the States.  I will be renewing my membership once the Canadian dollars get more in tune with the American dollar.  This box for me was $40-50.00 I can't quite remember exactly how much as it's been so long. 
*I added an estimate amount of $5.00 on the free mask and bag so that will be up to your own discretion on what you think is appropriate. *

 
Overall
Now that I've sat down and taken a look at how much actually came in this box, I think it's a great purchase!  There's an option for going month to month as well as multiple months at a discounted price.  What was really nice about this box is that there are multiple products from brands that I've yet to try which brings my excitement level up that much more!I'm still a little upset that it didn't come in a treasure chest however, I'm looking forward to being able to buy these boxes once again and sharing my thoughts on the goodies at hand with you!
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.
