Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate it)!!
At this time of the year where I live, the winters are cold and the air is dry which make my lips chapped. When I was in Sephora, I was surprised to see that such a high-end retailer carried Tony Moly (only one item, but still). Thinking that the quality should be better than their normal products, I picked up the Tony Moly Bbo Bbo Lip Balm in honey and tried it out. 

Right off the bat, the cute shiny packaging gave the product a look and feel of sleekness. It's more shiny than pictured on the Sephora website.



Upon opening it, the balm smelled exactly like honey. It was exciting to try this out as I've never had any beauty product honey-flavored or honey-scented before. Out of all the lip balms I've tried, the consistency is more on the thick side. Looking at the reviews on Sephora, it's either a hit or miss. I think it was a hit for me as it definitely was not a miss. I found it hydrating and stays on if you don't constantly rub, bite, or lick your lips like the K-pop boys do in music videos. I'm just a tad disappointed that it's $9 for such little amount of product. Also if you have sanitary issues with using hands to apply this kind of lip balm, there is less chance of germs touching your lips if you use your fourth/ring finger because you usually use your first/thumb, second/index, and third/middle fingers for touching everyday objects.



 A little random but I found that Urban Outfitters sells the Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub that has similar packaging design except in pink plastic.

My personal recommendations for having hydrated lips is using any of the lip balms from Rosebud Perfume Co. (click on any of the pictures below for a better look). I think they're more moisturizing than the Tony Moly Bbo Bbo Lip Balm.
 
A little holiday gift for the readers! K-world Style will be giving away two Tony Moly Bbo Bbo Lip Balms, one in honey and one in blueberry. Keep reading for entry rules!

Hi Kstylists, we have an awesome giveaway sponsored by eBay seller mojasajo. He sells real, authentic autographed K-pop albums as well as stage costumes worn by K-pop idols themselves. If you want to get an autographed album, Eric is your guy! Check out his eBay profile here. There is a reason he has 100% positive feedback and it's because he has fantastic customer service. I'm speaking from personal experience. There are so many fake sellers out there trying to make a quick buck, but he actually has connections. Not just anyone can get access to Inkigayo cue sheets like he does. I am naturally a curious being so I ask him how he obtains stuff even though I don't plan on buying them. Eric patiently answers my questions and concerns regarding authenticity and how he got the items. I'm a little reluctant to share the following information, but I love our readers so I figure you can benefit from this!

You might not know just by looking at mojasajo's listings, but there is a highly likely chance that he has the autographed album you're looking for that's not listed. His inventory is pretty extensive. Just message him and he'll let you know if he has it (or not). If he doesn't, chances are he can get it for you. A lot of the time, he has copies of the same album that you can pick from. Idols are humans and sometimes give clumsy or faint signatures, so having the choice of picking the prettiest autographed album is pretty cool, don't you think? 
 
I'll let you in on another secret. If you wanna save money, add Eric on Facebook and message him asking for a quote. Then instead of paying eBay middleman fees, you can pay him directly through PayPal at a lower price. He doesn't pressure you into buying anything and is non-judgmental, so don't be afraid to ask him questions regarding items or prices. 
 
It's a happy day for us, because he is giving away 5 posters to one lucky winner. Good luck and take a look at them for yourself:
 

 
 
  To enter, follow these instructions:
Check out eBay seller mojasajo's listings here and pick your favorite one (Try to pick one that someone didn't choose already). What do you like about that artist or group? Post your answer down below!
The more thoughtful your response, the better chance you have of winning!
 
If you choose to follow mojasajo on eBay, make sure to include your eBay member ID when you enter on Rafflecopter.
 
Terms and Conditions of Entry: 
Period: April 7, 2014 to April 30, 2014
  Open internationally.
No P.O boxes.
Winner will be contacted by email and will be given 48 hours to respond. Failure to respond will result another entree to win the prize.

Let's switch things up a bit with Korean cosmetic brands and move on to The Face Shop! 
As usual, these hauls and product reviews are not sponsored. I wish though ;P At least I'll give honest reviews. Some of these products I've had for awhile and some I just bought.


Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam 
Website description: Soft, creamy lather provides gentle cleansing that last during cleansing.  

We'll start off with the Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam, not to be mistaken with Rice Water Bright Rice Bran Cleansing Foam. They have almost identical packaging design, where latter comes in yellow instead of pink. I've used the Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foamfor over a year now. My skin type is combination oily in the summer and combination dry in the winter. Right now it's winter where I am so I use it sparingly because it dries out my face. The Face Shop website states that it's for all skin types but if your face is combination dry to dry, I would not recommend it. For oily to combination oily, this can work, but it really depends on the individual's skin and body processing. The website also suggests it for skin whitening and I can attest to that. My face looked brighter as opposed to getting paler. Think about how sparkly a window or mirror gets after wiping it clean.

Fun fact from my knowledge: This cleanser contains lauric acid, which is found in human and animal milk. There are wonderful benefits of lauric acid, such as anti-acne.


White Mud Nose Pack
Website description: Formulated with White Mud and Burdock extract to effectively cleanse pores, this practical peel-off nose pack retains the shape of your nose for multiple use.

The White Mud Nose Packis an abomination. This is a very sticky (stickier than maple syrup or honey) and messy product. It leaves strings of goo when you squeeze the tube out. And when you leave the tube sitting around for too long the ingredients inside separate, so you need to do what it takes to have them mix together again. My skin is not the most sensitive yet it hurts so much when I peel it off my face after the goo dries. Imagine rubbing crazy glue all over your nose area and peeling that off your face. YEOW!!! Does it get the job done? Somewhat, but the next product works better for blackhead removal and is much less painful.


 Volcanic Clay Black Head Aloe and Charcoal Nose Strip
Website description: Patch-type of black head nose pack that draws out blackheads completely
For blackhead removal, the Volcanic Clay Black Head Aloe and Charcoal Nose Strip is the stuff. They do the trick and do a better job than the Missha or Biore pore strips. It's fun to peel them off my nose and look at the yucky gunk I accumulated in my pores XD If you have sensitive skin, it might hurt but it doesn't hurt me at all. It just feels like my skin is being tugged. Beware, don't use these too often. It's fun, but since the strips are peeling skin cells off along with the sebum, if you use pore strips of any kind too much they may cause scarring and other skin problems. The Aloe strip is white and the Charcoal strip is black inside when you open the package, which I'm not gonna do because I want to give 3 sets of these away to you lovely readers! 

To enter, you can answer any of the following questions in the comments. The more thoughtful, the better chances you have of winning!

1. What's your skincare regime? Describe your routine and the products you use.
2. If you were shooting a skincare or cosmetics commercial, what would you wear?
3. Whose style do you like best in advertisements of any kind (food, drinks, skincare, cosmetics, cars, etc.)?

EDIT: No one claimed the Rosegal prize from a previous giveaway, so a $20 item of the winner's choice from Rosegal will be included in this giveaway. In order to win from Rosegal, you must like their Facebook page. This totals to 4 winners, one person with a $20 Rosegal item and three people with nose strips.

Period: January 28, 2014 to February 8, 2014
Open internationally.
No P.O boxes.
Winner will be contacted by email and will be given 48 hours to respond. Failure to respond will result another entree to win the prize.
