Daily Look Elite Box Review: May 2018

Hi everyone!
So I recently decided to give Daily Look's Elite box a try after having tried Stitch Fix a number of times. Subscription boxes really seem to be in, and lately, I'm completely fascinated by the idea of having a personal stylist with curated pieces. Although I love shopping for myself, I was intrigued and wanted to "refresh" my wardrobe with some fashion items selected by someone else for me.

So this is how it works...

Fill out your style profile.
You can even share your social media profiles to personalize it further.

A personal stylist will pick your pieces. You receive an email when your box is styled, and you can preview the items. You can swap out up to 3 pieces if you don't like them.
You will have 7-12 pieces selected for you based on your styling profile. You can also contact your stylist via email.

I received my email saying my stylist had finished styling me quite a while before the box was shipped. If you want a surprise, you don't have to look at your "preview," but I did. I saw all of the contents and chose 3 pieces I didn't like. They let you "swap" them out if you don't like them. The stylist will pick 3 other items for you, but you don't get to know what they are. It's a gamble, but at least you make sure you don't get anything you really don't like.

There's a $40 styling fee that can be applied towards any items you keep from your box.

The box gets shipped to your front door and you can try them out.
My box arrived exactly on that date I chose. You get to try on the pieces and have 5 days after you get the box to make a decision.

Choose what you want to keep and send back the rest.
If you buy 3 or more items from your box you get 50% off the lowest priced item. Your styling fee ($40) is also applied at check out. The rest you don't want you can return in the box they provided you with. They include a free return label.

You check out online and can review all the items and specifically state what you liked and didn't like about each item. This is helpful for future stylings.

Review: Shop and Box

Hi guys,

Although the weather is still freezing cold in New York (narrowly avoided another snow storm this weekend), spring is in full bloom in other parts of the world. Most noticeably, South Korea. If you've never seen the cherry blossoms in Korea before, it is definitely worth a trip.

So today, I'm bringing you a special post introducing my favorite website/app called Shop and Box. if you're interested in picking up some of the newest spring edition makeup collections from Korea, keep reading below!

Drama Feature: Tempted (위대한 유혹자) 2018 - Fashion, Makeup, & Jewelry~~~~

Many people wish to be the great tempter who has power over love. However, once they actually experience love, they begin to understand that what they once wished for was foolish and useless. In this drama, all the characters are in love just like us. To be frank, they all desire someone. The desires to love and to be loved clash with each other as the story unravels. Some regret the mask they hid behind in front of love and express their disappointment and anger to others. Through love, some learn to love themselves while others get too hurt to stand back on their feet. But then again, through many hardships, some get back on their feet and learn to love once again. Tempted hopes for the viewers to laugh, cry, and go through these stories together. Just like how everyone′s interpretation of love is different, this drama wishes that we can all love passionately without any comparisons.  - VIKI

Also known as: The Great Seducer, The Great Tempter, Temptation

I decided to start doing a monthly K-Drama feature where I will share the makeup and fashion in the drama. I’ll include the brand, where you can buy it, and prices! I’ll mainly be including my personal favorite items ;)

Kbeauty Sample Sale! - JKNLEE

Hello~
Lili here! I went to a Kbeauty sample sale hosted by JKNLEE in New York City a few weekends ago: Saturday, March 10th, 2018 to be exact ;) I was going to see some friends in the city for dinner and walked downtown to the sale before meeting up with them. I saw JKNLEE'S posts on social media and decided to check it out.

When I went it was in the afternoon, and super crowded. It's a very small store. They had a ton of great deals, but the only thing that was unfortunate was that you had to purchase the deals. For example, if it was 3 items for $5, you had to purchase 3, and you couldn't only buy 2. Each category had different prices (ie. eyeliners, eyeshadows, masks, etc.) and you had to purchase the minimum amount.

I purchased 3 eyeliners (gave one away to a friend), 2 boxes of sheet masks (with 10 in each box I believe), 3 individual pot eyeshadows, 3 lipsticks, and 3 eyeshadow palettes. It all came to around $50!

The sale was open to all, and you didn't need a ticket or anything to enter.

OOTD Feature: Uniqlo

Hi guys! Today I have a clothing-related post for you, featuring one of my favorite brands: Uniqlo. This minimalistic Japanese brand is good quality, offers a ton of color choices, and has some of the cleanest store displays I've ever seen. If you haven't checked out this brand yet, I'm going to show you several reasons why you should! Winter wear, athleisure, and workwear are some of the major reasons why I love Uniqlo so much. I've been a loyal customer to the brand for years, and bought up their Heat Tech like crazy while I lived in Seoul. If you want to see some of my favorite items and how I put them together, click "read more" below :)
