If you're a K-Makeup or skincare fan, you've definitely heard of this brand, Innisfree. Innisfree is Korean Cosmetic brand that claims to sell makeup and skincare that are made mostly from natural ingredients from Jeju Island.
Innisfree compared to other korean drugstore brands
Obviously Innisfree's products claim to have lesser chemicals compared to other brands. Thus, naturally making Innisfree rather pricey. However, the price difference doesn't have a big difference from what I;ve seen previously in Korea.
Good News:
Well, being a makeup freak myself, I've always been looking for online sites that sold Innisfree products. Wait for it... and as of today Innisfree has officially opened their 1st ever Malaysian outlet in Sunway Pyramid. YAY!! Look at the queue. I lined up for almost 2 hours before being able to step in, crazy right?
P.S. The korean owner (I suppose) pitied us having to wait in such a long queue even after the store opened, ran to AEON with his men employees to purchase Minute Maid's Orange Juice and paper cups for those who were in the queue. Gotta love that Korean SERVICE culture! <3
Best part:
I honestly feel that the pricing in Innisfree is super reasonable and surprisingly cheaper than Etude House (cosmetics). Like seriously, these are so affordable plus they are supposed to have less chemicals. Really worth it!!
And every product's description tells you about its shelf-life (in english), cool eyh?
HAUL:
So let's get straight into what I bought shall we? P.S. There wasn't any sale. REVIEW links will be added on later.
Didn't realize the comb was blocking something. You'll find out what it is later.

| Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum Special Set |
STEAL of the day. The Green Tea Seed Serum Special Set. Unfortunately, this ain't for me. But it is the No. 1 Top Seller in Innisfree. Brief description: 1 Green Tea Seed Serum (Full Size), 1 (Deluxe Sized??) Toner and Moisturizer. Here's the deal, Green Tea Seed Serum is originally RM90 but you get this set fr RM90 which technically means the toner and moisturizer was FREE!

| Innisfree It's Real Squeeze Mask in Aloe |
Okay, this? This is for me. 2 mask sheets only?! Yes. I'm currently using the Laneige Water Series so yeah.. didn't want to mix them up. GUYS!! ONLY RM4 each, not discounted. YES!! IKR?! Compared to Etude House of The Face Shop that retails for RM6.90 each w/o discounts or promotions, come on.. I think I regret only getting 2.

This is the 2nd and last skincare product for myself. Brief description:

Price: RM26 (reasonable, right?)

| Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder |
Another Innisfree Best-Seller here. Designed for the face. Loose powder to control oil. Contains NATURAL Originated Mint and Mineral
Interesting fact: Just like how most Western girls use dry shampoo, Korean girls use this powder surprisingly for their hair and it functions exactly like the dry shampoo. They tap a little to the oil spots on their scalp and massage it in. There are dry shampoos in powder form, but who'd think of using this powder that was manufactured for the face. Cool eyh??
Price: RM24 each

| Innisfree Long-Wear Cushion in 23 True Beige |
Yay!! Another BB Cushion to my collection now. Great for humid weather/summer as it is supposed to stay strong even with sweat and sebum. *thumbs up*
Price: RM80 (No discount or promotion)
Re-fill price: RM49

| Innisfree Wooden Dry Hair Brush |
This Innisfree Wooden Dry Hair Brush claims to be a styling brush that is effective for volume hair or hair curls. This honestly was a greedy purchase. Long story short, I didn't need it. I saw it while lining up to pay, and I just took it for god knows what reason.
Price: RM10 (yes, I'm not kidding. No sale. Nothing.)
And being a Korean cosmetic brand, they can't leave out freebies right?
Today, as you sign up for their membership and depending on how much you spend, you are suppose to get some free stuff. But, they short-changed me. Having spent RM262 in total, I should be receiving a green tea balancing kit. As for membership registration, 4 samples + 1 sheet mask.
According to:
However, I only got
These.. 1 Green Tea mask and a bag of only 4 samples. WHERE is the Green Tea Balancing kit? Am I suppose to collect it the next time? No, no one said anything of that sort to me.
But, it's okay. What's done is done.
So, this is my haul from Innisfree's Grand Opening in Malaysia. I hope you enjoyed reading through this. Reviews will be posted as soon as I try the products out. Thanks for reading! :)
