2017
Recently I got a chance to collaborate with COSME.de, which to me was fantastic news since to me COSME rankings are love (and life) . Honestly the COSME rankings are essentially the most trusted rankings for any and every Japanese cosmetic lover, so when I was given the chance to work with them I was absolutely thrilled to bits . Also in general, the COSME rankings don't always just pertain to only Japanese products, so if you want some really great products, I recommend you check out those rankings too . The holy grail status items will change your life by the way, just saying .


This online store only sells from quality brands, from known brands like GUCCI to the lesser known LAGONA . Whichever brand, I'm glad to see that the products sold on the site will definitely not let you down in terms of actual quality . Though I stated this before, I really want to reiterate the pleasant surprise I felt when I found out that the eyeshadow palette I received from LAGONA was exactly the sort of colours and pigmentation that I wanted . I feel as though they really work hard to sell only the best products, which makes this site one of my most trustworthy stores to buy from .

Not only that but the site also allows free shipping regardless of how much you spend in your order . I find this lovely . Plus regarding the fact that I honestly barely know any site that has a similar kind of system to this . Finally, a site that lets me buy a $20 item and not makes me feel guilty for it haha . 

If you guys want to check out the site before this review starts, you can get your order with a 15% discount when you use the code 'TEA15' . It's the two greatest things rolled into one, discounts and free shipping ! Haha .


Anyways let's get down to the products that I got and my quick first impressions of them !

Lagona Eyshadow Trio 03 (x)

Since it's Winter here I really wanted to have a burgundy eyeshadow palette to experiment with, and surprisingly enough that palette didn't seem to be to popular in Japanese shops . Though I've never heard of this brand before, I fell in love with the middle colour as soon as I first saw it . Thankfully enough, after using it I wasn't disappointed with the results either ! The light pink and burgundy shades are matte, while the brown has a slight shimmer in it . I love the fact that Lagona really ships itself as a natural brand, and the not too strong, not too light colours of this eyeshadow palette complements that concept very well .

LANCÔME Virtuôse Doll Eyes Gris Rivoli 06 (x)

Remember how I said at the beginning at the post that I pick a lot of my products based on the COSME rankings ? Yeah, this product is a prime example of that LOL . Never hearing this product before seeing it as a COSME holy grail, I was delighted to find that their official site sold it . Popular for giving a natural lengthening and volumizing look for the eyelashes, this has instantly become one of my favourite products and honestly makes me want to wear mascara everyday .

SHISEIDO Benifiance WrinkleResist24 Day Cream (x)

After poking around the COSME shops best picks, I came across this item and decided to buy it since I've never heard of a day cream that was wrinkle resistant . I currently have quite the case of smile lines and eye lines so I decided that it would be a good idea to try this out . Even though it says that it's targeted for dry skinned people, I'm delighted to see that it hasn't broken me out (but then again, I use very, VERY little of it), and not only that but it makes my face feel SOOO SOFT . And I mean, there are a lot of products where I think 'wow this product makes my skin feel so soft' but this product is like, next level baby butt skin smooth . 

GLAMGLOW Supermud Clearing Treatment (x)

After hearing it's an excellent mask for clearing up the pores, I wanted to try it out and see how it goes . It gave me a trail of surprises since it smells like liquorice, you have to apply a really very thin layer on your face, and on initial application it stings like a mother *insert curse word here* . Actually when I first put it on it stung so much I panicked a little because I thought it was having an adverse effect on my face . Turns out that's not the case, and it's actually quite excellent at really clearing out the excess oil in your face ! In fact what I really like about this product is that you can really see the oil it takes from your skin, as you can see the little holes peak through as the mask dries . I really like this product, but I want to save it for the Summer season which is when humidity takes its toil on my skin and makes me super oily . I feel as though I'm ready for any breakout with this product though !

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (x)

Not only is this a COSME holy grail, but it is also a much loved product around the beauty community, so I decided it was about time for me to try it and see how it goes . I use this as a toner, and honestly, ever since I started using it I haven't seen an ounce of whitehead or pimple on my face ever since . I actually find it kind of difficult to believe that a product can start having such an effect so quickly, but it's easy to see why there is so much hype around this product . Another thing that caught my eye when using this product was the fact that I can tell it speeds up the skins turnover cycle very quickly . Scarring seems to heal far more quicker, and I have a feeling that it really boosts the effect of products that you're using .

Bottom line, I'm totally satisfied with all of these products

One of my pet peeves is when I buy a product, but I find that I'm not going to use or end up finishing it . So I was really pleased with the results of all the products I got in this haul . I still feel as though I need to find out the full potential of the SK-II, SHISEIDO and LANCÔME product (since I recently cut my eyelashes so I want to wait until my eyelashes grow out to see how the mascara really works), but regardless what I do know is that I'll end up finishing these products eventually . COSME.de also delivered these items in almost a blink of an eye, which was fantastic because I really couldn't wait for these products to come through ! haha .

Like I said before I got a chance to collaborate with COSME.de so look out on their Youtube channel for some of my videos coming up soon . Also, because of this wonderful collab I was able to snag you guys a 15% discount by using the coupon code 'TEA15' when you shop on the site .

What are some products you want to buy on their website and why ? I'd love to know !
