BBcosmetic.com

I saw this website quite by chance. It popped up during a discussion thread in /r/asianbeauty. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the source (it was lost the moment I closed the tab).

Truthfully, at first glance the site was lacklustre. It lacked the oomph and energy that some selling sites imbue their front page with. Instead, they have a very no-nonsense approach to their front page (white background with black font), which has it's advantages because the first thing I saw that they were having a Cosrx sale, which had me really excited. I am very curious about all things Cosrx and am constantly experimenting with new products. The sale brought their prices down to the lowest I have ever seen on any site (when you include shipping). It's an especially sweet deal because they offer free worldwide shipping. 

 A Little Background

AKA, Are they any good/trustworthy? Short answer: Yes.  

That led me to do a little digging. BB Cosmetic is based in Korea and has been in business for 5 years to customers all over the world. but they have a USA branch that allows them to ship items via USPS to buyers in Korea. This means their shipping time would be spectacular for those of you in the US. 

Nevertheless, it was really impressive for me in Malaysia too. Their staff boast impressive language skills, ranging from English and Japanese, to Russian and well, I'm assuming Korean. 

Tips & Tricks 

Like Jolse, this BBcosmetic has occasional sales featuring different brands. They do, however, go up to 30% instead of Jolse's 20%. Coincidentally, Jolse is having a 20% off all brands right now. A quick price comparison shows that BBCosmetics Cosrx Natural Skin Returning Emulsion is selling for $13.99 whereas Jolse is selling it for $15.20. Their Cosrx Natural BHA Skin Returning A-Sol is also selling for cheaper at $13.99 instead of $14.40. 

On the other hand, their low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is a tad more expensive at $9.35 compared to Jolse's $8.80. This is only one site though, so you do have to do more price comparisons to be certain that you're getting the best deal. I'm comparing BBcosmetic with Jolse since both sites offer free international shipping with no minimum purchase and I've bought from both sites before. 

Also, be sure to like their facebook page since they do flash 50% off sales for different items randomly once a day. The other day, they had a 50% sale off their Cosrx BHA and was selling it for only $10.50. I can't believe I missed that sale. They've also sold 15 Innisfree Face Masks for $8.99. The catch is that they only have 5 of this for sale at any one time. 

Update: They've discontinued this deal. :( 

Shipping & Packaging

USA buyers will get their orders via USPS and have a tracking number included. Their estimation is 3 - 10 business days. Orders over $140 gets free expedited shipping service. They have a warehouse in the states, which means shipping is faster for those of you there! :)

Everyone else won't have a tracking number unless you reach $40 and the estimation is about 12-35 business days. They had my package expedited. I ordered my product on the 16th and it arrived on the 22nd, which is ridiculously amazing. 

The box itself is quite sturdy and they have my box packed to the brim. The items were well protected though, as you can see, which was all that mattered. 10/10 packaging. 

Samples 

If you've read any of my posts, you would know that I'm a lover of sample products and from the samples given to me, I have to declare BBcosmetic my new favourite shopping site.

As you can see from the picture above, every purchase gets 2 The Face Shop Cushion Puffs, 1 Face it Power Perfection BB Cream Sample & 1 Blanclouding White Moisture Cream Sample. Once you reach the $30 threshold, you get an additional Lumilayer Primal (this is what I got).

I love that they let you know in advance exactly what you're getting. Personally, I love that they do this since the uncertainty is annoying for me. More often than not, I end up being disappointed by the samples given. In addition to the promised samples, I was given an Verite Ultra Moist Skin Watery Cream. I haven't gotten around to using most items from this haul yet, so reviews will have to wait until I've tested everything for a sufficient period. ^^

Orders over $50 gets a Makeup Pouch from The Face Shop and orders over $100 gets an additional Natural Sun Eco Sebum Control Moisture Sun 50ml from The Face Shop. I love that the samples stack up.

They've updated their free samples, which is still awesome. :) Link here.

My Haul

Here's what I ended up getting from BB Cosmetic (individual reviews coming up after a reasonable testing period): 

• Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Pack (Virgin Red) for $5.98 
• I was incredibly curious about how long-lasting this lip tint is. 
• The fact that it peels off and leaves your lip colored but doesn't stain is mind-blowing to me. 
• Cosrx BHA Skin Returning Emulsion & Cosrx BHA Skin Returning A-Sol $13.99 & $13.98 
• The A-sol I've been eyeing since forever since /r/asianbeauty lauds it as the best spot treatment for pimples. It also helps in controlling sebum production and clearing off dead skin cells. 
• It is recommended that the A-sol is used priod to the Emulsion, which works to deliver a light exfoliating effect and remove dead skin while providing hydration as well. It is designed with Centella asiatica extract water as a base and less liquidy than other Cosrx products I've tried. 
• Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch $7.98 
• This is pretty self explanatory. It's a non-irritating hydrocolloid protective patch for when you have acne wounds. 
• Cosrx Blackhead Silk Finger Ball $4.49 
• These 100% natural silk balls are used as gentle physical exfoliates, which is something I've been curious to try on my blackheads.  

Pros & Cons

Pros 

• Free Shipping and free tracking at $40 
• Gives a LOT of samples with each 
• Like I mentioned earlier, I love that they let buyers know in advance exactly what they're getting. 
• The picture above shows what you would get for one purchase on their site, which is ridiculously generous. 
• Competitive prices when discounted and mind-bogglingly amazing prices during the 50% off 
• Do remember to like and stalk their Facebook Page.
• Customer service is amazing. 
• I talked to one of their lovely cs, Chloe and she's been nothing but curteous and polite. 
• They're still relatively small and I always feel like you would get more care from cs from small business compared to bigger businesses where you turn into just another number in the pile. 

Cons 

• Some prices not as competitive, as proven above where some prices are still cheaper at Jolse.
• You'll also have to remember that Jolse does give credit for giving reviews, which I don't think BB Cosmetic is doing. They've started offering free credit for reviews!
• Do price comparisons. They definitely have better prices for some of their products, though. 

Conclusion

Do I like them? Yeah, definitely! I especially enjoy the 50% off sales. Those are fun to stalk especially if I end up getting a good deal. I actually got one the other day. A Holika Holika Wine Therapy Sleeping Mask for $6.45. It's insane.
