So I did not know they changed the gift policy.
I am very disappointed; of course, the new shipping policy + prices is very good (and still extremely cheap) compared to other websites. But I always looked forward to getting samples to try out and to take with me on vacation trips.
Innisfree released a green tea set for $25 with a full size green tea serum which goes for about $18. On BeautyNetKorea, the set was only $19!
I happened to run out of my face cream, so this was perfect for me. I added a few more other (on sale) items, and this was my grand total:
Innisfree green tea set $19.05
Innisfree green tea serum samples 10pcs $1.14
Etude House 0.2 Therapy Air Mask $0.36 x2
Purederm Deep Purifying Black O2 Bubble Mask Volcanic and Charcoal $0.51 x2
Prreti Ban Ban Salmon Elastic Moisture Cream $1.45
Dr. Jart+ Dermask Water Jet Soothing Hydra Solution $1.87 x3
Dr. Jart+ Dermask Water Jet Vital Hydra Solution $1.87 x3
Shipping: $10.21 to the USA
= 44.79
Order date: 14 January 2018
Date received: 26 January 2018 So the shipping is a bit faster than before. I know it would usually take 3-4 weeks to arrive.
The thing is, I did not qualify to receive a free gift. The first bracket to get a gift is a purchase between $50-100.
$10 shipping is very good in my opinion. I even tried to see how much just the Innisfree green tea set cost, and the total was only ~$23 including shipping. So it is definitely worth it to buy on BeautyNetKorea if the initial cost (without shipping) is cheaper than other websites.
When I received my order, there were a few things I felt was not right. My Innisfree serum was not completely full, and the cream looked like someone put the product in, not a machine.
I also thought the Dr. Jart+ masks were expired.
However, the BeautyNetKorea customer service is really good. They assured me my Innisfree set was new, and that the Dr. Jart+ masks were not expired. I only saw 200610, and misunderstood it as being expired in 2006.
I know it seems a bit too simple to feel relief that my products were "assured" to be new and not opened, but in my opinion, Korean regulations are high and I never had problems with BeautyNetKorea before. The products were not dirty, but instead looked really clean.
Overall
Good customer service, responded quickly to my questions and concerns! They were also the ones that informed me about the changed gift policy.
Shipping: 2 weeks
Cost: 5 stars!
Total experience: 5 stars
Disappointment: no more free samples :( however, getting the cheapest prices online makes up for that!
If you have any comments, please ask me!
Suggestion for BeautyNetKorea: add more samples to the Sample Zone! I would love to try more products because there is simply no publicity for them abroad besides other people's reviews!
(Sorry for the lack of photos; I will update later on)

Cannot find ingredients for Tonymoly Geolution Shark's Fin Collagen Cream?
Someone please send me ingredients for Tonymoly Geolution Shark's Fin Collagen Cream!
I know this product supposedly contains "shark". A Reddit post said that it may or may not actually contain it. But based on a sample I got, the product is amazing.
Which explains its high price. But I tried it out one night; my skin needed some care and attention. It is a thick cream and left my skin shiny the next day (I do have an oily T-zone). However, my skin was super soft and smooth for the next 2 days, even right after a quick face wash (with water).
Before actually spending $30 on this cream, I want to make sure it does not have any fishy (lol) ingredients, not cruelty-free, and no other harmful ingredients for people (PEGs, or alcohol--an ingredient I try to steer away from).
Can anyone find them? Or send a picture of the box that it comes in? I've only found 1 review on Jolse, but it doesn't say much besides that this product is "luxury". After that one use, indeed it is.
Thanks! My skin is in dire need of help; my current cream seems to be failing me especially during the winter, and this product is my only hope that I've tried and actually works (without breakouts!)

Americans, we can turn this around
Net neutrality = free speech.
Go to battleforthenet.com, send emails, letters, and phone calls to Congress to overrule the FCC vote.
No one said hope is lost. That's why we are proud Americans that will fight for our rights, and we have the right to do so. Otherwise--[We're sorry. Please pay $5 to unlock the rest of this post.]

Korean Aloe Vera Gel
Nature Republic's aloe vera gel
Online, from what I've seen, this usually costs around $10-$15. The cheapest I bought've it was $6 from iMomoko (buy 2 for $12), but the shipping cost ($5.99) made it about $9 each. iMomoko no longer sells this product; I think they are focusing on Chinese and Japanese products now.
So I've used like at least 5 of these, but I stopped after finishing the last one I got from iMomoko.
My thoughts/what I realized:
-smells great (at first, you get used to it afterwards)
-my skin would feel dry during the first few weeks, then become soft
-not 100% aloe, and contains alcohol
-there is a clear lid that seals the product, but half the time it gets stuck in the lid
-the container is not hygienic, but I guess the alcohol would kill all the bacteria
-I read online that this is good for hair--it's not (for my hair). It just made my hair feel dry like hay

Calling All USA Internet Users
As internet users, we cannot just sit and watch our internet world crumble and fall. We have the internet, so why must we lose it.
It is time to #BattleForTheInternet by #BreakTheNet. We need to spread the word, get it out there that some corrupted, money involving things are going to happen really soon.
Our internet service providers are convincing the government to allow them to charge exuberant prices in order for us to use the internet services we take for granted: 720p/1080p HD quality, high speed internet, and unlimited use of data because we pay for it monthly.
However, these providers are winning this battle, and we need to speak up. Message your congressman, talk to your friends and family, and get everyone aware.
To break it down further, basically:
Charter, AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, and all of the other ISPs (internet service providers) in the United States of America, want to charge us extra money in order to use their services.
That means, if you want to watch that entire 10 minute Youtube video in 1080p quality, you may need to pay $5 for that quality. Because the video is 10 minutes long, you may need to pay another $5 to maintain that quality and have high speed internet without the video stopping to load.
Do you have a new game that you just bought on Steam, and you can't wait to start playing? Well, you better pay for those 5 hours that you'll play it, or else the internet might stop half way because gaming takes a lot of data, and data means extra charges.
You may wonder, I'm already paying monthly for this box in my house that is working just fine right now. Why should I worry? Because once this bill is passed, not only will you pay monthly for that box, but you'll have to pay extra in order to have it work normally.
Our internet lives will forever be changed if the ISPs win this battle. Let's keep the internet how it is, because this is how we like it to be. #BattleForTheInternet, #BreakTheNet, #NetNeutrality, spread the word on all of your social media pages. And contact your congressman. We need everyone's hands on deck to fight for our rights and not lose the internet. https://www.battleforthenet.com/
How else can you play a part? Visit here, and spread the word https://www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2017-07-11-heres-how-you-can-participate-in-net-neutrality/ (All images came from this site)
