online shopping review : hijabstoreonline.com via femaledaily marketplace

I am a reader of fashionesedaily.com and sthis year i decided to join the femaledaily forum which quite addicted :) my favourite thread is of course, recommended online shop. some months before i traveled to Jakarta i started browsing female daily marketplace and that's how i knew hijabstoreonline from one of female daily active member, ketupat kartine. she opens pre order for hijabstoreonline with affordable price, and the moment i checked the website, i fell in love straightaway with their accessories!

the website

i wrote down some of my favourites, and ended up i wrote too much.oh  nooooo then i have to take a look one by one to choose at least 3-5 items only since it would be my first time shopping here and i don't know the quality yet.
But seriously,, it was sooo hard to choose. take a look:

collection of elastic bands, headbands and sashes

anyway, i decided to buy this items:

i still have one more item which is the black chiffon sash, i left it in jakarta, accidentally, because i wore it a day before i left so i forgot to put it in the box together with other accessories.

anyway, i was satisfied with the quality. they are good. the elastic headband is not too tight andthe gold headband on the side is pretty, with or without hijab. the good thing is that they are sweet, pretty and not too much.

this is my favourite:

a flower clip. simple but pretty. clip it on the side of your hijab or hair if you don't wear hijab, and that's it. if you started getting bored with your everyday look, try this for a new look.

this is an elastic headband. very pretty with pearls. but for me this is only for some special occasion. i wantes my daughter to wear this but it was too big so i guess it is only for adult? hehe

black with glitter elastic band. i like this too,, i wore this when i have big family halal bihalal last ied.

a pretty headband, simple and pretty, just the way i like it.

overall, i am satisfied with both hijabstoreonly products and ketupat kartini's service as a seller. i also ordered hijab black pins (jarum pentul) and it turned out not really top quality and she told me she's sorry for that before i received the package. it was so nice of her telling me the truth, she told me she didn't know that items would be dissapointed not like other products. she even sent me the pins even before i paid! the pins are ok anyway, not top quality but i still can use it. so if they have new cute products i will definetely buy more!

online shopping review : onikchan

Back to online shopping review, this is the last stop of my list for korean beauty products. i wrote about onikchan before here, just a preview and my recent purchase, now it will be full review :)
so, this is the 3rd year i placed an order here. what i like about this shop? take a look at the web ;

http://onikchan.multiply.com

Onikchan has loooots of beauty products. Not just from korea, but also from US, Japan, Taiwan, and many more i guess. seriously, i don't know how she could manage soo many products like that. ok, i will mention the brands available here; D.U.P, Jill stuart, shills, kevin beauty maker, dot dot, beauty DIY, vin vin, majolica majorca, chacott, melliesh, faceq mask, my beauty diary, canmake, candydoll, kanebo, koji, sana, kiss me, hadalabo, kose, biore (import),  lunasol, holika holika, beauty credit, a'pieu, tony moly, innisfree, etude house, skinfood, liole, baviphat, vov, nature republic, the face shop, missha, banila co, 3w clinic powder. WOW. soooo many. and not just all that brands, she also open pre order from sephore, drugstore and nordstorm.

Many of that products i mentioned are still new for me and i am not familiar with. so, why i like this store most is obvious because it is the most complete brands, some are still rare to find in jakarta or other seller. For me, this store is to find something that other sellers don't have, and also to find new products to try.

my first purchase here was travel set of skin food and  my second purchase was eco tools brush and everyday mineral brush.this year, i bought this:

skin food gold kiwi set, etude house rub me tender ( i wasn't planning to buy this. i was planning to buy something else from nature republic but not available so i just replaced with this since i need peeling), and nature republic banana mousse pack.

other thing about onikchan, she is good with customers and total commited. well, there is this story that last year, when i placed ecotools brush, it turned out that the arriving schedule was late. i was panicked as i was leaving jakarta soon. and i bet she really felt sorry too, and thank God it arrived one day before i left jakarta, and she delivered it to my door, not by post. hehe..it was quite a story though, how my other ecotools brush was not arrived yet, so she changed it into everyday mineral brush, which is ok for me.

so, this is my last stop for korean products/cosmetics online shopping.i hope you girls enjoy reading it.

online shopping review : riebutik

next stop for korean beauty shop is riebutik. it is one of the famous online shop for korean products in indonesia, i guess. because many of indonesian beauty blogger i read, they bought their korean products from riebutik. in femaledaily forum this seller also quite famous and favourite, both for pre order and ready stock.

www.riebutik.com

i have been a loyal consumer since 3years ago or ever since i started using korean beauty products. first time i bought the ready stock item, then last year i started join their pre order and this year again, i ordered some items from them. So, the pre order system is every month, there is an open date and close date for every batch, and the package will arrive 2-3 weeks after pre order closed.

the price of course much much cheaper than the shops in the mall, and if you purchase rp.2.000.000 there is 5% discount. you can choose ready stock pre order or if you want to buy something that is not available at that time of course you can always join pre order. 

anyway, this is my haul from riebutik this year:

i ordered some more products but not available, i don't know was it because discontinued or sold out at that time.

i still have some pictures of haul from riebutik from last year, so i just put them here;

overall, i like shopping here. the website itself, for ready stock products it is categorized by brand in separate folder, while for preorder pricelist you can download the pricelist from the web or if you can't download it you can just contact them and they will send you the pricelist by email.

the working hours is only from 9am to 3pm, so if you send email after 3pm you will have to wait until tomorrow to get reply. but sometimes i got reply after 3pm though :). and in some time of the month they are very very busy in the time of package arriving from korea i guess, so sometimes it took some time for them to reply your email.

next stop for shopping.. it's www.cupcalicious.com

it is the first time i shop here.I found out about this website when i was looking for indonesian seller who sell mask sheet with a cheap price. and yes, i bought mask sheets here.

online shopping review : chic princessa

next destination for online shopping.. it's chic princessa.

www.chic-princessa.com

i knew this website since three years ago, or since i started using korean beauty products, and i have been a loyal consumer ever since. everytime i travelled to jakarta or some moment where my mom send me a package i always stoped by and bought something.
Anyway, the website itself is user friendly, easy to use. First you need to register (free, of course) then you can start shopping by click "buy" to any products you want and will automatically added to your shopping chart. It is also easy to find products you are looking for as it is categorized brand and by category, for example, there is chic's beauty category that when you click, it will show cosmetics products on different other category; base&powder, bb cream, blush&highligt, eye, lip, nails, pallete and sample corner.
All the prices are reasonable, of course much much cheaper than the counter, but still more expensive than pre order items. Yup. the good thing is that all the products available here are ready stock so you don't have to wait a month or so. In fact, if you pay before 3am, the delivery will be on the same day. oh yes, that's another good thing about this shop. The service is really quick. once i asked a question about something and the reply also fast. The proccess of the order also fast.i received my package the next day or 2days after i paid.

My favourite items (that kept me coming back shopping here) are the mask sheet, sample corner and travel set. items i bought this time:

 some skinfood travel sets, skin79 bb cream mini tube, skin79 pact, innisfree herb pastel blusher

 set of skin food bb cream in mini tube

skin food platinum grape cell travel set

skin food ancient rice travel set

my beauty diary mask sheets and some baviphat and etude house samples.

and then... this year i found out that they also accept pre order (which the price would be cheaper). I was wondering why they don't put pre order option on their website so customers will aware with the option. i was looking everywhere on the website where to order by pre order, where are the list for pre order products, but sadly it's not on the website. when i asked chic-princessa, the owner replied, yes i can join their pre order and she forwarded my email to her sister who managed pre order. So this 2 sisters, vivi and wiwi, one manages chic princessa ready stock (the website) and the other manages pre order.

After that i got the pricelist, and every month i got an update about their pre order price list and schedule. i am so happy that they have lots of products on their pre order list. NYX, laneige, tony moly, apieu, innisfree, nature republic, the face shop, missha, baviphat, the skin food, etude house, and holika holika.i had a hard time choosing them. lol. anyway, this is my haul from pre order :

overall, i am satisfied shopping here, both on the website (ready stock) and pre order (you have to wait 2-3weeks from the day pre order closed). i will definetely come back and shop here again.

online shopping review : iheartkoreanbeauty

Before i start reviewing beauty products, i want to review some sellers i bought all products this year, and my first review is iheartkoreanbeauty. I first found out about this seller from some beauty bloggers out there. Many good reviews about this seller, so i gave it a try and contacted the seller, if it is possible to send to jakarta and she said yes. I started browsing on http://iheartkoeranbeauty.blogspot.com but now she has a new link on http://iheartkoreanbeauty.mybigcommerce.com .

anyway, the seller/owner named zhen, or at least that's how people call her (i don't know her real name), was very nice and helpfull, and i think she is also korean beauty products customer/user, so she can answer my questions really well like customer to customer. I can also ask for suggestion from her, which is nice.
oh, and these are products from iheartkoreanbeauty:

2 i like most from iheartkoreanbeauty. first, she has loooottsss of travel size/sample bottle for sell. i loooove trying new products and buying the travel size is a good option. Second, she is the most generous seller in giving free gift or free samples. look at this :

You see that tony moly ice queen multi play cream? it is a free gift! free gift in a full size bottle? how generous is that? well, she said that it is my vip gift. she has this program about if you purchase for some amount, you will be a vip member and get a free gift. but seriously, she is the first seller who gave a full size bottle as a free gift!
In the process, my order took sooo long. some unexpected happened. my baviphat order didn't came, so she must contacted the korean seller to order it again, and after waiting and waiting.. it turned out that the products i ordered discontinued. she felt very sorry, and she even gave some discount for some items for me. how nice..
And the good service didn't stop there. she also helped me tracking my package after a week still not arrived. she helped me checking to singapore post office and email me the tracking copy.

In conclusion, i am very happy shopping here. the only thing i don't like is just... the delivery fee from singapore to jakarta. lol.
