It's the Monster Mash Up: Oct 2015 Week 1 Kbeauty Sales & New Skincare

Friday, October 2, 2015


Why is K-beauty news so juicy every week? I don't know.. why is Gretchen's hair so big? And why do we old folks still make Mean Girls (2000's movie) references every day? Life's big mysteries.

Anyways, Happy October! In Korea, October is the beginning of a huge sales month, with October 1st drawing comparisons to Black Friday in the U.S. Because of this, I'll start with the sales news this week. Also, because last weekend was a national holiday, there are fewer news bytes than normal so everything is in two posts today... the skincare and the sales in this post, and the makeup and news in the next.

KOREAN-KOREAN BLACK FRIDAY SALES

There are some deep discounts going on on the Korean-Korean web, and October 1st is pretty much Korea's Black Friday. To access these deals, you will need to use a Korean shipping service. There are two that I recommend.

Avecko - This is the option you want to use if you are confident you've found the best deal on the Korean-Korean web AND you want to use the medium-fast and medium-price shipping option called ePost. They have a streamlined process and get back to you very quickly. Their site is best viewed on a browser other than Google Chrome.

Dowaja - This is the best option for you if you aren't sure which Korean sites have the best deals. They'll shop around and find the best price for you. They only offer EMS (fast/pricy) shipping and Registered Air Mail (slow/cheap) shipping. Everything is through Paypal and email. Very simple.

Some ideas of websites to check for deals...

11st 
G-Market
LotteMall
Olive Young
And any of the official brand sites. Usually the brand name with the extension ".co.kr" with some exceptions. If you have trouble finding some of these sites, leave a comment or shoot me a note and I can help out!
