Here's just a haul and some swatches, and maybe some first impressions too.
Edit: after testing out some of these, I've included a few mini reviews!
The box!
free samples~
another one was hiding under everything :)
I didn't buy more than $50, and I still got a free face mask! This has never happened before (I've bought from Jolse more than 3+ times, and this is the first!)
The container with "Jolse" written on top are oil blotting sheets; they work great!
Dr. Mascara Fixer (Super longlash) by Etude House (6ml)
Clearing Petit BB SPF 50 PA++ by Holika Holika (30ml)
Facetone Creamy Tip Concealer by Tonymoly, shade W02 (6g)
ssinim recommended this in her Tonymoly video, and I decided to get the same (darkest) shade.
First impressions:
-yellow
-sets quickly, so blend it in!
-a bit too dark for me, even though I am tanned (doesn't match my skintone)
-since it doesn't match me, I have to blend it out a lot more than others, so I decrease the coverage
-other than that, good coverage!
-packaging looks modern and cool!
-if you tried the Elizavecca bubbling clay face mask, that's what this concealer smells like
-a strange, earthy smell
-----(added edit)-----
-matches my face tone but doesn't really work for my dark circles
-this is the darkest shade (W02) and is very yellow
-it kind of accentuates any bumps or pores
Price: $4.78 (after some store discount)
First impressions:
-cool brush, very easy to use!
-has weird fibers inside
-holds the curls super well! feels like a mascara, but no color!
-lengthens due to the fibers
-waterproof!
-packaging is interesting
-----(added edit)-----
-maybe because I don't wear mascara that much, my lashes start hurting and feeling "tired" from being curled for so long. This stays on and holds the curl for at least 5 hours.

It's hard to tell, but it looked very pinkish.
(I used plastic wrap to spread it out--needed clean fingers for a sandwich)
First impressions:
-pink
-matte
-spreads pretty nicely, not too thin or thick
-brightens skintone
-not too much coverage
-the smell reminds me of shampoo at hair salons
-----(added edit)-----
-it looked powdery and kind of cakey on my skin.
-after some time, the color melted in with my skin tone
-accentuates any blemishes, especially closed comedones and whiteheads
-covered my blackheads though
-covers red spots/marks/blackheads/veins near nose
-medium-ish coverage (I think)
-but dark spots will still need some concealer
-oxidizes a bit to match your skin color
-oily skin will look oily after a few hours; you'll want to powder
-kind of wears off and blends in with the skin after a few hours
-doesn't exactly rub off, but it scratched off
Concern:
This is supposed to hold 30ml of product
Not sure if the container holds more, and there is just 30ml of product, or I'm not getting however much I should be.
There was no seal on the opening, but the cap does properly seal the container.
This was the cheapest face, cosmetic product on Jolse. There are no shade options, only an option for the "look" you're going for (shiny, dewy, matte, etc.)
Price: $4.48 (after some store discount)
Peach Sake Pore Pact by Skinfood (9g)
First Impressions (?):
-works like a powder, doesn't really have color
-smells good (sweet and floral)
Price: $7.98 (after some discount)
Saemmul Luminous Multi-Shading by the Saem (8g)
First impressions:
-IMO, best for highlighting/contouring smaller areas by picking specific shades
-IMO, mixing them all together is a light shade and not a suitable color for contouring (kind of reddish from all the pinks)
-it has a pretty strong scent; you notice it when applying
-the product is "loose" and has fall outs on the container; container gets dirty quickly
Price: $6.73 (after some discount)
The Skinfood comes with a mirror and super soft sponge! I didn't want to get it dirty, so I didn't try the pact yet.
It smells nice; somewhat floral, but not really like peaches.
This looks super cool, and you can use parts of it for highlights and others for contouring! You'll need to get your own brush though!
These two products were shown in ssinnim's videos, so go check her out! They're in the roadshop videos for Skinfood and the Saem!
(I just love her videos and got the idea to purchase these items from her :) I think her reviews really help you decide what kind of cosmetic products you prefer!)
This shows how big everything is. They're all quite tiny.
Perfect UV Protection Cream Triple Care SPF 50+ PA+++ by Innisfree
Charcoal Nose Cleansing Strips (10 strips) by Luke
The sunscreen was the main purpose for this haul/purchase. I actually wanted to buy it from the Innisfree website (buy 1 get 1 free), but the Triple Care one was sold out! Since this is a brand new sunscreen line, there really aren't that many reviews. My skin is combination (normal and oily) skin, so I thought Triple Care would be best for me!
And it was pretty cheap on Jolse, so I got it! They also just restocked too!
I was also a few dollars away from the faster shipping, so I got some nose strips. These aren't my favorite blackhead remover product, but they work and they're cheap.
Sunscreen Price: $7.98 (after some discount)
Strips: $3.58 for 10 strips/box (after some discount)

Luke Charcoal Nose Cleansing Strips review:
These are your typical charcoal strips with a fuzzy side and a shiny side. You make the shiny side wet and apply shiny side down. DO NOT use wet fingers to secure the strip. It will increase the chance of the strip not peeling completely and properly.
-sticks really well, once it's on, it's on
-dries quickly
-be careful when peeling, some parts of the mask can get stuck on your face (read above).
-but you can wash it off afterwards
-blackheads are easily seen and visible
-strip sticks really well on the blackheads so it gets a lot of them out
-also pulls any tiny hairs and fibers
-minimal pain
Pros:
-entire area being covered has chance of getting blackheads pulled out
-dirt cheap on Jolse
-apparently can be found at Forever 21 (google searched it)
-read review above for rest
Cons:
-can get stuck on face = need to wash it off = no blackheads getting pulled out
-a strip can only cover so much of your face = can't pull out blackheads elsewhere unless you use another strip
My rating:
4.5/5
The lazy (and good) way of getting rid of blackheads.
---end of edit---
That is it! I also got a free pore strip, which basically comes with every purchase on Jolse!
---added edit---
I've also recently gotten some oil blotting sheets. These work great and there are a ton of them!
I also have the CosRX Honey Ceramide Mask; it has a gel consistency and works great as a moisturizer too!
---end of edit---
I love this store, and I haven't had any problems with them so far! I also have another haul from a while ago, which I hope I will post soon. This one was the most "different" since I never buy make up products :)
Thanks for reading!
I was not sponsored by Jolse.com, but I am simply a huge supporter as they have great prices for their products! And free shipping directly from Korea! Yay!
