Where do you usually get your K beauty products from? Soko glam, Peach & Lily, Glam Glow, Memebox, Amazon?
The main 3 that I check out are:
Kerry at Skin & Tonics
Snow White & the Asian Pear
50 Shades of Snail
I find pricing from the US based vendors to be extremely high and the risk for counterfeit products on Amazon are also very high. Depending on what I purchase and how much I purchase, I use these vendors:
KoreaDepart - shipping is costly because it is based on weight but if you order a huge haul, you still make out better than the US shops because the prices are a fraction of the US shops. I use the slowest mail which is Registered Mail. It was shipped out within the week and I received my package 2 weeks later. It's good for items that are not heat / light sensitive and mainly for restocking. The benefit of KD is that they carry a huge variety of items.
Jolse - my new favourite shop because shipping is already built into the price and if you spend > $40, shipping is free. Their pricing is very competitive in spite of the built in shipping cost. Products are somewhat limited in range but all the well known favourites are easily available. Shipping times seem reasonable - items are shipped within the week. Cosrx items are 20% off on one day every week.
WishTrend - I take advantage of their free shipping item to tack on whatever else I need. Shipping is surprisingly quick but I guess they know it has to be prompt because their Vitamin C serum is time and temperature sensitive.
Chrono, that's great that the spots are fading! I've come across Snow White before, so I'll start following her more closely. While I follow several Kor-Am bloggers, only one does use some K products (but not much) - Raeviewer. However, I do subscribe to Meejmuse's YouTube channel, and she now lives in Korea, so I get to see her talk about the K products.
Jolse looks awesome - I can get my CC refills there!
Since I have sensitivity, I do prefer the Aromatica brand, but apparently it's hard to come by other than the Peach and Lilly website. Thankfully, it's not a huge price jump over websites who ship from Korea if you can meet their free shipping.
And, I picked up a sample of that shark sauce. I am dying to find something to end the redness.
