Stylekorean Malaysia First Impressions + Haul

Hi guys, welcome back! Today I'll be sharing with you guys my Stylekorean haul + first impressions!

Stylekorean is a K-beauty shopping website, and you can find them at stylekorean.com. They offer international shipping, 100% authentic products, free samples and a return/refund policy.

They have a lot of brands and products, and I was quite happy with their selection! They carry popular brands like COSRX, Etude House and Laneige as well us up and coming brands like Thank You Farmer, April Skin and Benton.

According to Stylekorean, they realize that shipping cost is a big burden among buyers and sellers. Usually to hide shipping cost, online shops will increase their product prices to compensate. Stylekorean however, does not do this. Instead, product prices and shipping cost are calculated separately.

By doing this, Stylekorean provides price transparency for customers. Shipping cost is calculated by weight and differs depending on the shipping method and destination country. You also have the choice of selecting which courier you want to use based on the country you live in:

This may look complicated, but fear not: there is a simple solution! Orders above $30 get free shipping via Rincos (which has a delivery time of 7-14 business days excluding weekends and public holidays).

I've been more and more interested in products containing BHA and Centella Asiatica recently. Both are popular ingredients that have increasingly been featured more and more by brands, so I decided to get these 3 products:

Since I'm currently staying in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), the available couriers for me was Rincos, EMS and DHL. Since my order cost over 30 dollars, I was eligible for Rincos free shipping.

I made my order on August 22 and my parcel was shipped on August 25. It arrived in Malaysia on August 26 and arrived on my doorstep on Aug 29. Total shipping duration was 6 business days! 😍

So far I can't really find a fault with Stylekorean's site. I love their selection of products + the exclusive promos they have when they collaborate with brands! For example, they just collabed with Heimish on an upcoming eyeshadow palette.

As for my purchases, they came wrapped in a lot of bubble wrap and arrived intact without any damage.

I ran out of my peeling get from Pika Pika so I decided to try this Back to Iceland Peeling Cream from Thank You Farmer out. It's not like your usual peeling product and I was actually quite surprised! It comes in a cream form, and when you rub it into your face, the cream eventually rolls into little solids.

My face felt so soft and smooth after using this, like I seriously cannot! I didn't have that much high hopes for this product but I ended up totally loving it. Full review coming soon!

I'm also still exploring COSRX products and decided to include these 2 products as they were highly recommended for people with acne skin like me.

Centella Asiatica is increasingly being featured in more and more skincare products, and these two from COSRX are by far the most popular. I'm planning to do a full COSRX skincare routine + review on these babies so stay tuned!

And that's about it for this post! I was also lucky enough to be part of the shortlisted participants of Stylekorean's K-Beauty Guru competition! 🎉 Our first mission was to unbox another haul, so definitely keep a look out for my unboxing! 😉 In the meantime, you can subscribe to my channel (click here!)
