Cherry Culture Haul + Unboxing

a few weeks ago CHERRY CULTURE had a 20% off sale on all their items, including already discounted products, so i jumped at the opportunity to cut down my ever-growing beauty wishlist. the store ships to the US for free for a minimum purchase of $40 (easily completed, natch) which led me to use my gcash amex + MSB shipping address yet again.

it took almost a month for the package to arrive here, mostly caused by the delay in shipping by the shop itself (apparently it tends to happen after the surge of orders during big sale events). but all the same, i was excited to have finally received my items and rushed to open the box.

inside were two bundles tightly packed with their wrapping paper. i had previously watched a cherry culture unboxing on youtube so the bizarre-looking packaging did not surprise me; however the experience of unraveling all that paper still bordered on comical.

in the end i was left with this much wrapping paper. kind of crazy when you think about how few items i ordered and how small most of them are, but of course i cannot deny my appreciation for keeping my purchases safe for transit. anyway, here is my loot:

NYX jumbo eye pencils, jordana 12hr eyeshadow pencils, jordana forever flawless pressed powder

NYX setting spray, duo eyelash glue, LA girl concealer, milani lipsticks, NYX HD concealer, jordana 12hr eyeliner, cherry culture lip balm (free)

honestly i wouldn’t necessarily recommend shopping on cherry culture if you live outside the US, unless you are buying in bulk and during one of their sales (incidentally, there is a 40% off blowout on the website now until march 9). but when you do find those bargains and get them together, you will save some buck–especially considering the fact that most brands they carry are not available locally.

still, i am excited to try all my new items and will surely do reviews/swatches once i’ve played around with them a bit!
