general question about layering all these awesome different kinds of skincare products... i remember seeing a link somewhere about how to combine everything, but i was wondering if any of you guys have tips/experience with combining these with benzoyl peroxide and/or retin a?  i use benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide + clindamycin) in the am and retin a at night, and i want to be able to try out the various things i get from memebox and other sources but am not sure how to incorporate them without interfering with the bp and retin a.  the link i saw ages ago mentioned putting bp/retin a/other treatment on after various other products, but i'm afraid of having products underneath interfere with the effectiveness of the bp/retin a.

any thoughts?

I think you might be referring to this link: http://www.skinandtonics.com/asian-skin-care-guide/ It's probably one of the best Korean skincare layering guides I've seen! I don't know much about the products you're using so I wouldn't be able to tell you when to use them in a layering/ multi-step routine, however I have a few spot treatments and things of that nature that I put on at the end of the routine. I have never had a problem with products interfering with each other, so I would stick to the basis of layering which is usually lightest product to heaviest product. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I absoutely love asian skin care! I believe it even better than the skin care in America. I usually buy my skincare/make-up from SASA, RoseRoseShop, sometimes on Amazon (beware of fakes), W2beauty, Imomoko, and Prettyandcute!

If you are located in the US and cannot wait for shipping, Imomoko and Prettyandcute are located in the US. The price isn't as cheap as other sites, but the shipping is faster with a decent shipping price. I recommend looking out for deals.

As for SASA, it located in China. RoseRoseShop and W2beauty are located in Korea. All 3 of these sites take about 10-25 days to get your order.

It is extremely bothersome and painful when you have to wait nearly a month for these items :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Overall, I am hook into asian cosmetics! :smilehappyyes:

Oooh, great haul! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I posted this over in the Beauteque BB Bag thread but I thought some of you guys might be interested too. Beauteque just posted on their facebook group that they just launched launched a one-time bag for August. The Head-to-Toe Spa bag.

It comes with 7 different masks and a hair band and it's customizable. http://www.beauteque...ead-to-toe-bag/

thank you!! I got 2 of these - one for me & one for my mom - I go back home to visit in a month and I have decided to bring my haul of beauty stuff with me - I am driving, so yeah, I can do that. We can put on our masks and do a game of thrones marathon - she LOVES that series but doesn't have HBO - I bring my computer with me and we watch it on HBO GO.

I have nieces too - I have lots of goodies for them as well!

I got my bag a little early and it's awesome! They even include a little schedule to show in what order to use the masks throughout the day. I think I'm going to order a few more and hold onto them for Christmas gifts! (I do my shopping WAY early LOL)

 
I've had a few people ask me what stores I buy from online for Korean beauty products. While some of these have been mentioned earlier in this thread, I thought I'd make a list of my personal favorites/stores I have bought from etc. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

http://www.beauteque.com/

http://beautynetkorea.com/

http://www.roseroseshop.com

http://prettyandcute.com/

http://w2beauty.com/

http://www.wishtrend.com/

http://sokoglam.com/

http://en.koreadepart.com/

http://stores.ebay.com/rubyrubyshop 

I'm sure there are more stores that are awesome, but these are the ones that I have actually made purchases from in the past. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
oh good roseroseshop is on your list!

They have 10 packs of masks for $2.10 right now and I want the all!!

The brand is 3W, though.  Are they okay?

Oooh now I'm going to have to check that out! LOL 

I only made one order from them and it was at least a year ago but I received everything with no issues. Funny enough I think it was a bunch of masks that I ordered! haha :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OH ALSO: I think I remember their shipping was pretty expensive, so it's good to shop around and add stuff to your cart etc to compare shipping costs. 

Beauteque and PrettyandCute might have slightly more expensive prices, but they're in the US and their shipping is not only very fast, but less expensive!

I just added a bunch of the sale masks to my cart and the shipping was like, $20 LOL :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's actually still a great deal considering how cheap they are. I haven't tried those mask brands before, but I'm always down to try new ones. I just can't get around that shipping cost. I think I might buy some Imperial Birds Nest masks from My Beauty Diary on ebay and call it a day haha :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
