Welcome to our website !
Alright, I love roseroseshop and recommend them to anybody looking to start in the world of kbeauty.  However, if you're looking for a speedy delivery this is probably not the company you want to go with as they use DHL for their shipping company and I had quite the issues with them.  I wasn't planning on doing express post but since I noticed that there was only a 2$ difference between regular and express I figured why not go for express.  Once it shipped out it only took one day to get into Canada.  That's insane coming from Korea.  I got over 20$ on customs fee for this, which I found to be pretty odd because I've never gotten customs fees on anything from roseroseshop but then I thought that maybe it was just because I picked express.  I contacted them thinking that I would get the same response that I had thought it was going to be.  Turns out I shouldn't have gotten a customs fee because roseroseshop ships as a gift package and at a lower cost.  
I wasn't too concerned about the extra shipping costs but I had expected to get the shipping that I had paid for at that.  So it was supposed to arrive on Friday, which it didn't because apparently you need to be available all day to receive any package and I was out all day.  Now I'm on the phone trying to figure things out and it turns out that they only attempt delivery one time a day and that's it and on top they don't post on weekends, whereas Canada Post will ship on Saturday.
At this point I'm pretty upset because now I have to wait all weekend for anything to happen.  Monday comes around and my tracking says 'left for pickup as requested by recipient'.  For starters the pickup spot is an hours drive away from me and with no vehicle it would seem pretty hard to pick something up without a vehicle and work all day on top.  So no, I hadn't requested it to be picked up.  I didn't receive it on Monday either.  I put a complaint in at this point, and then lone behold my package came in the following day.  
Long story short; I do not recommend the shipping company DHL.


Let's get onto the unboxing

I decided to go with 2 different brands in this haul so I can get a better idea of what each brand has to offer.  This time I went with Too Cool For School and Etude House, most of the products are from them with very few exceptions.  I'll start with the exceptions.

I seem to be obsessed with this kind of packaging for samples and felt the need to get some more! 

 
So basically, the birds nest part kind of intrigues me and it's also an aqua sleeping pack which makes me think of water.  Pretty legit.

Eventually I plan on doing a roseroseshop egg haul.  There's a lot of egg products that I would like to try and yeah it looks pretty cool.
 Those are my only 3 items that aren't either Too Cool For School or Etude House.

 These packs are pretty big, bigger than what I had expected.  I got 2 firming packs, 2 moisturizing packs and one brightening pack.

 I'm not entirely sure what this does but honestly it looks really cool so I figured I would try this out just because.

Because I love Welcos' Killing me Zombie CC cream, I feel like this will be no more short of quality either.

You'll have to wait to see what color I got! ;P

 Rules of Pore Morocco Ghassoul Tablit Pack and Rules of Pore Morocco Ghassoul Cream Pack
Mainly excited about these two puppies right here.


 That's everything for Too Cool For School, now onto Etude House.

 I got two samples from Etude House. Collagen Moistfull cream and Toc!s All in One Gel samples. After my cart had been pretty well full to the brim I stumbled upon the Toc!s gel and had actually wanted to get the full size but decided to go with the samples for now to see whether I like it or not.

Let's go onto the hand creams now because I went a little accessive with the cuteness overload.

Missing U hand cream in Panda/Peach and the Pink Dolphin in Fiona.  I'm not sure what Fiona is and that's why I got it because I wasn't sure!  I love surprises.
My Castle Hand cream in Ice Frozen and Sweet Cookie. Figured I was already going hand cream crazy may as well add some more cute in it.

 Etude House Hand Bouquet Rich Collagen Hand Cream
Oh Happy Day Hand Bouquet hand cream in the kind Rich Water.
I'm obsessed with things rich in water or aqua, they always just feel so refreshing and hydrating to me.

I don't have purple spots or so it says but I do have slight red patchy spots due to having Rosacea. And just look at that cute broccoli right there.
 
Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Mask (pink)
Hand Bouquet Collagen Hand Mask (yellow)

Etude House Blending Sleeping Cream In four different scents. (too lazy to figure them out)
In my roseroseshop haul last fall I had ordered 3 of these I believe and was satisfied with the results I decided to go ahead and order more!  I didn't do reviews on the ones from the fall unfortunately so hopefully I will get around to doing them this time.



Sunshine in Spoon Scrub Massage Cream in Pomegranate and Soy Bean.
I'm pretty excited to try all of these out!




Silk Scarf Damage.  Since Raelene had ordered these masks back in the fall and loved the Argan mask so much she made me convinced to buy some too.  We made a collab post review on it here. I love love the Argan mask in particular(which is why there's six of them) that I had to buy each of them.  I will do reviews and compare them to the rest as well.

This was in my samples pack-I must have gotten a bigger sample and a small sample pack along with it which I forgot to take pictures of the regular 5 mini samples we usually get.

ANYWAY, that was part 2 of my roseroseshop haul and hopefully the last one of the year!  Maybe not hehe but we will see!
I know I haven't gotten into reviews from part 2 but all I've been doing is work, there's no time for anything but work that I actually haven't really used any of the products yet. sad times :( I promise I'll get working on reviews and posts when I get free time! 
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 ordered this cream here for $1.44USD.  That is reallly cheap!  At first I thought it was just a sample but when it had arrived I realized that it contained a bit more product than a sample would.   It's the perfect size to be purse-friendly.

I didn't notice anything particularly different compared to any other cream you could get at a drug store at first glance.  However, it applies very nicely and absorbs right into your skin!!! Almost immediately it feels as though you hadn't even applied anything yet leaves your skin feeling extremely smooth and soft!  This has got to be almost certainly hands down my favorite hand cream.   It doesn't leave my hands feeling oily, shiny and doesn't leave any extra cream on the surface.  For the price that it is and the quality I feel it gives me I would certainly buy this again in an instant and definitely recommend it to anybody with any skin type!
After a hectic day of being at work I like to just relax some nights.
I'll light a candle and let the scent go through the general area, this particular one is called Fresh Balsam by Bath and Body Works.  I love the smell of Christmas, and it literally makes the entire room smell just like that.  Like you've walked right into a forest full of Christmas trees.  I find it to be very calming but after a little while it has got to be blown out as the scent will get quite strong and start to give me a headache. 
Next comes the face mask.  I will usually use just any face mask that's kicking around.  Depending on the feel of my skin I may use a hydrating, firming or brightening one, depending on my mood the day, a lot of aspects to consider when picking a face mask.  Just kidding! It isn't that technical, I just pick which ever one I feel like at the time! This just adds to the pampering effect,  I find it quite relaxing as well. 
Next I will hop in the shower to take off the essence left over from my face and do all of that fancy dancy stuff.  Skip the conditioner though because here comes the bad boys! 

This product is by a Korean company called Nature Republic.  I purchased it in one of my RoseRoseShop hauls.  It is a leave in conditioner, the instructions say to keep it in for around 40 minutes then rinse it out afterwards.  I tend to just leave it in overnight just so I can get the most absorption and best effect of it, if you are able to do that then why not?  I'll take a couple of scoops out because my hair is so long and pretty thick. it also has the texture of conditioner but a little less creamier and a bit more thicker.  I had bought a hair cap for this purpose of keeping it in while I sleep but after a few times of it just falling off during the night I don't bother with it anymore.  All I do is put my hair up in a high bun and let it go.  It just feels like damp hair.  And tada that's it!  The evening pampering is finished! 
In the morning I will set my alarm a wee bit early so I can hop back in the shower and rinse!  Sometimes when I am feeling extra lazy I will actually skip the rinse part in the morning, leave it in a bun all day at work and nobody can tell the difference if it is up.  It just literally looks like damp hair.  Wash it in the evening after I get home or even the next morning if I'm feeling daring.  That is when I find the most effects actually.  This product is really a miracle worker.

After all of that I put this  treatment oil in my hair, 2 squirts is plenty for me.  This has a slight floral scent so after drying it will leave your hair smelling very nice as well.  I got this product on RoseRoseShop as well.  It is from the company Welcos Merit, I love them and swear on this product.  If I don't want to be bothered with the hair mask as I don't use it daily I will just use this argan oil in the morning or after shower, whenever I think about it.
You can see the shine coming through via camera, however it certainly does not do the real life representation justice at all! 
These two combined are a force to be reckoned with. I haven't used any products that even come close to what these ones have to offer.  If used a few times a week, your hair will literally be as shiny as the gloss on a magazine, and I'm not exaggerating.  Even only after one usage it will leave your hair feeling like you've just stepped out of Vogue magazine! 
I bought this on sale at Roseroseshop in one of my huge hauls.  Figured, why not as I like green tea and have actually never tried a mist on my face.  This product can be used before or after makeup application and make sure your mouth and eyes are closed!  Spray this not too close about 6 inches away from your face.  Also shake before you use it!

My thoughts on this product are as follows: Doesn't have much of a scent.  
If you don't put too much on it will soak right into your skin.  I don't find it to be very drying nor does it feel heavy on your face.  Overall I don't see any drastic results, maybe moreso during the winter time when my face and the air gets really dry.  
The purpose of this product is to help your face moisturize and I didn't find that it did a whole lot of that.  Overall, there's no cons to this product but what does its purpose really serve if it didn't do much of anything either?
