Hello beautiful!

For the past few months I have been purchasing and collecting asian (Korean and Japanese but mainly Korean) cosmetics from two new sites that I have discovered. I want to share to you guys some of my haul as well as my thoughts about these site. But, instead of combining and reviewing two website review and haul into one, I decided to split them and give a review that way. I think it's a lot efficient.

The first website I am going to share with you is a site called Sasa.com. <--- Click to see the webiste here. So without further adieu, let's get the hauling started! ;D

I am sorry for the lighting of these images. >o<  My orders were separated into two packages and was put into this bubble wrap bag. They came very safe without any leakage/breakage. ^.^

Sasa.com is a Hong Kong based shop. It's vision and mission is

"To maintain its position as the leading cosmetics retailing group in Asia."

Product Prices: When I first heard of Sasa.com the first positive point that I always hear is the cheap and affordable prices which is soooo true! The prices set are very reasonable which is a plus since beauty and cosmetic products here in Australia is SUPER pricey! A piece of drugstore lipstick can reach up to $15!! Quite pricey for a student like myself.

Product Range: The variety of product is immense in this website! It ranges from high end products to drugstore, from Western to Eastern products! It's sooooo awesome!

Payment Options: You can pay by using your credit card or through Paypal. Sasa.com has pretty wide range of payment options depending on where you live.

Website Page: The website can be easily navigated. Pretty awesome.

Customer Service: I have heard bad things about Sasa.com customer service but for myself, I didn't experience bad customer service at all. After three days, I received an email  from them that my packages were on its way to my house, though, that's pretty normal for web shops.

Shipping: The shipping was fast than I was expecting. My packages arrived after 1 and a half weeks after it was shipped. Now, I consider this as fast as I live in Australia. For the shipping price, I didn't have to pay any shipping price since I bought my products during a promotion which was the 'Purchase $29 or over for free shipping' promotion. I really encourage you guys to check the website to see any promotions that they set from time to time! :)

Overall, Sasa.com is a great shop to shop cheap beauty products. I loved shopping from them and would shop again. It's a pretty nice shop and you get free samples as well. I got 4 samples from the Suisse Programme brand, 2 because it was my first puchase and 2 because I purchased over $50 dollars. It think that was it was for. I kinda forgot. >,< I recommend you guys to check the site out and witness yourself to be hypnotized to buy all the products! XD

Fine Hyaluron & Collagen replenishes skin with essential nutrients. After use, skin becomes elastic and lifted up. Prolonged use maintains healthy, radiant and youthful skin. Unlike other collagen additives, Fine Hyaluron & Collagen adopts tasteless collagen extracted from fish. As it is decomposed into very fine molecules, it could be effectively absorbed. Blended with other beauty ingredients, it works to suppress the production of melanin, moisturize skin and reduce the appearance of imperfections such as spots, lines and dark circles.

how to use it For adults, consume 7g (around 1 tbsb) of Fine Hyaluron & Collagen every day. Dilute it with warm water or other drinks (such as orange juice or milk). You may also consume with desserts (such as yoghurt or ice cream). Suitable for pregnant women. Could be consumed with flu tablets. ingredients

【Hyaluronic Acid】:maintains watery and supple skin.

【Collagen】:helps vitalize skin.

【Elastin】:improves elasticity of skin.

【Adlay Extract】:detoxifies and whitens skin.

【Vitamin C】:accelerates metabolism.

【Vitamin H】:maintains healthy skin.

As we age, our skin's collagen-producing abilities slow down. Collagen is essential to our skin's overal health and youthfullness. I've taken this product with great results for 6 months. The usual dry patches on my shoulder and back became baby soft within only two weeks of taking this product. This brand by FINE uses collagen extracted from fish. It tasted somewhat fishy to me, but I usually try to add this into my tea with honey. I couldn't get myself to drink this alone with hot water but as time went by, I got used to the taste of it.

There are many Japanese brands of collagen powder. Usually, one can lasts about 28 days. These cans usually come with a spoon/scoop for proper measurement of how much you need to take. It is a great supplement to add to one's daily dietary supplement for babysoft skin. I stopped taking this product after 6 months because I gained a considerable amount of weight and wasn't sure if it was due to this product. However, I want to give collagen powders another try. Perhaps I will try the collagen powder by Meiji. FINE's collagen powder is a bit pricier than Meiji's, and both brands could be purchased on sasa.com.

One can of collagen powder ranges from around $35USD-$50USD when purchased from Sasa or other similar e-tailers. I am sure it is much cheaper in Japan. Reviews of these products are generally very positive.

I've taken collagen pills as well, such as those by BSC sold from sasa.com. However, those had no results on my skin. Therefore, if I were to purchase another beauty supplement or collagen supplement, it would definitely be a collagen powder.

$11.40USD for a box of 6 on sasa.com

I received this box of mask from redeeming my VIP points on sasa.com during a sale last winter. I finally had the chance to try this mask out and I honestly have to say that I wasn't impressed with this product. To get straight to the point, this mask is a poor fit for the average face size. My face isn't big and isn't very small, just regular/normal/average. However this mask was WAY too small and I had to stretch out the tabs for the neck and face part to tuck behind my ears, which made the whole mask experience uncomfortable. Also, this mask is supposed to be be purifying and detoxing. However, all I felt was a minty cooling sensation. This sensation was weird and I felt the coolness for the entire 15 minutes that I had it on. Some people might like it and think that the cooling sensation works wonders. This mask did absolutely nothing for my skin. My skin wasn't purified. I think if I wanted to purify and detox my skin, I'd be better off sticking to a deep cleansing clay mask.

I would skip this mask and would not repurchase. Luckily it was free from claiming my VIP points. :)
