I was really excited to see that Too Cool For School had a version of the Beauty Blender that everyone was on the rave about.  Not only just that, it was super cheap! At under 4$ I wasn't going to pass this up since I was doing a Too Cool For School haul as it was.  This gave me the chance to get the experience of a beauty blender for a fraction of the price I would have paid on THE beauty blender.

Since I don't have any other type of beauty sponge I can't really compare it to anything so I'm just going to give my thoughts on this one only.

The sponge itself had a bit of a squish to it but not so much that you could touch your fingers on each end, vertically and horizontally.  The bottom part will be for the base foundation whereas the tip will be for the creases and corners ie. your nose.  The sponge actually didn't absorb as much foundation as I thought it would.

I bought this to use with my Kat Von D foundation because I thought it would have a better finish if I used a beauty tool instead of my fingers.  It turns out that my foundation seemed to come out a bit more caked than normal.

I put the foundation on my blender for application.  It felt like I was putting more pressure than I normally would with my normal routine.  It seemed that in order to to speed up the process, you would have to rub it in with your blender or fingers to get your foundation more spread evenly which is what I would do any other time.

Final thoughts

I think the Marshmallow puff or any other type of beauty blender is good to use for a first time to get the experience but I don't recommend spending a whole lot of money on it.  There are tons of companies that sell cheap versions of the beauty blender so don't feel restricted to just using this particular one!

This cream pack was actually one of the many products that I was most looking forward to.  I picked quite a few full sized items from my roseroseshop hauls that I became very fast excited about quite a few of them.

I was attracted to this originally because the packaging was really cool and Too Cool For School was one brand that I really wanted to try out.

This mask is designed to remove dead cells, cleanse pores and remove corneous tissue without skin irritation.  Containing manuka honey for benefits of water and for nutrition deep in the skin.   Also containing chamomile to keep sensitive skin calm.

Honestly, I was pretty surprised because I thought this was a cream, not a full on clay mask for obvious reasons(it says cream right in the name).   There's not an overpowering smell but at the same time it doesn't really smell that ~great~, I'm trying to like it but can't quite put my finger on what it actually smells like.  I'm just thankful that it doesn't have a strong smell.

It's an off white with specks in it and a pretty thick clay.  It went on smoothly and dried pretty fast.  A little goes a long way, I didn't need a very thick layer.

The application process is really simple, all you do is put a thin layer on your face and wait 5-10 minutes then wash off with water. ta-da, simple!

I waited probably closer to 10-15 minutes but it doesn't really matter how long you keep it on, you could do some laundry or dishes in the meantime. 

This mask is supposed to eliminate pores which is exactly what it did.  My skin felt kind of dry afterwards so you will need some sort of moisturizer to go with it.  I still had red spots on my skin from rosacea, but I'm finding that very few masks will help with that.  Apart from those two, the mask was well worth the money and had fantastic results, I couldn't stop touching my face because it was so soft! 

Pros

• Aesthetically pleasing packaging
• Fantastic results 
• Not messy
• Great qualities
• Cleans pores
• Makes skin super soft

Cons

• Not a cream pack as it says
• Doesn't help 'red skin'
• Drying 

 That's all I have on this particular mask, you can purchase the cream pack here.  I hope you guys enjoyed this review, I tried to be as extensive as possible but if you have any other questions ask me!

This one of the products I decided to order from the Too Cool For School line.

 One of the packaging that will be staying with me for quite some time. #noshame

The Dinoplatz lip balm line comes in 4 different shades as of right now.  The one that I ordered was Spilled Wine.

 On the back it shows how much product is in the balm .45oz and a 12month expiry. Also crediting the drawer, that's really nice of Too Cool For School to do.

The balm itself has dinosaurs on the lid! OMG!  I don't have a lip balm that has this at all. It's great(and one of the main reasons I purchased it)

On the bottom it shows a dinosaur colored in with the actual balm color.  That's really cool and adds something different that other brands and companies don't do.

This has a strong smell of grapes but there's also a subtle smell of something else I can't quite put my finger on it.

Shockingly enough, this is the swatch.  Most Korean lip makeup isn't actually that dark.  That is fine by me, even though I like dark lips I also appreciate bright lips especially in the summertime.

Apparently it was hard to get swatches on my lips.  This was taken in direct sunlight so it's as accurate as I can get it.  The color is definitely deceiving because I was hoping it would be a darker tone but it's a nice color nonetheless.  I'm still happy with this no matter what.  Who can't be happy with packaging like that like come on now guys!
This balm doesn't have any type of taste which is pretty much a neutral concern for me.  It's got a nice shine yet isn't overly sticky so during windy days our hair will be less inclined to get stuck in it.

Pros

• Packaging
• Twist lid
• Purse friendly
• Great smell

 Cons

• Deceiving color
• Tasteless

I can't really find anything totally and completely wrong with this product.  Too Cool For School, you got my vote!

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! 

It's Skin Pure Moisture Gel

 

 Imselene Birds nest Aqua Sleeping Pack 

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.

 Skin Food Egg White Pore Mask

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.

 McGirly Smoothie Pack

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

McGirly Good Morning Rice Wash set

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

Dinoplatz Cinema City CC cream samples

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

Dinoplatz Lip Balm

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.

Play Therapy Purple Spot Zero!

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 Yogurt in Sugar Apple.

Sunshine in Spoon Scrub Massage Cream in Pomegranate and Soy Bean.

Sunshine in Spoon Scrub Massage oil Gel in Coconut.

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!
