My tip for beginners- there are sooo many liquidy products in k beauty and the best method ive found is to always use ur hands to apply! Granted if youre trying to remove makeup and want to use a cotton pad to see if you have residual that makes sense, but otherwise for me i always pour toner into my cupped palm, press my palms together, rotate my hands and swipe to cover my fingers (i think caroline hirons calls this the "therapist swipe" lol). It takes getting used to, but it makes my liquid products go so much further! And i get hands on (literally) with my toners to feel if the texture is hydrating enough etc and apply another layer if needed! Lovely products in this kit- your skintone is radiant today! I recently ordered that istnree sleeping mask for the summertime when humidity picks up (on sale of course) and that egf ampoule looks to die for- havent splurged on it yet but got a similar abib growth factor product from jolse a month or so ago, and cant wait to dig in!

I absolutely love how you take small breaks to give little explanations of things like the regulations in the US that prevents that country from having access to newer skincare/tech as well as what PF/PA means! This was a really informative video and thank you for the Timestamps!

I think if you order stuff that says ships in 24 hours in tiny writing u will get it faster but if you mix up the order with all kinds of products that may not say that it takes longer. I may be wrong but I think that also has something to do with shipping time besides being overseas.

I absolutely LOVE your channel. Definitely one of my favorite Utubers for skincare. 💕💕

As an American with skin allergies, I was slow to make the jump because I always wanted to be able to return to a brick and mortar (hello oxybenzone!). But Asian sunscreen was my gateway and I'll never go back!

As a newbie to Korean skincare, thank you for this video! Definitely has helped me in deciding which products I need to incorporate into my routine.

Thank you so much for this! I'm just now starting to get interested in K-Beauty and just placed an order from StyleVana. Useful to know how long to expect it to take.

Great routine. Almost every product (ingredients)we use now were animal tested at some point. Then all other companies get the benefit. I can't use chemical filters either. Have a wonderful week ❌️ ⭕️

Yasss I imagine this is super helpful for newbies. I could’ve definitely benefited from a video like this years ago!

I think that your video last year comparing Korean online retailers was the most helpful introduction I found for making the ordering process less intimidating. Thank you. Before your video I ordered K/J skincare from Amazon and paid so much more. I usually have more time than money and choose Stylevana for the better prices, Vana reward discounts, %off discount codes and low total needed to get free shipping. I have learned to pay attention to the notation of how long to expect individual items to take. If any one item in your order indicates it may take “up to 30 working days”, all of the order will wait to be shipped. I have ordered one of two items that said “usually ships in 24 hours “ and received them in 10 days; but there is no guarantee. I also shop Style Korean when they have heavy discounts on a number of items I want in order to meet the higher total needed for free shipping. Style Korean has fewer brands and/or items from a brand than than Stylevana, while Stylevana may not have all of the brands and/or items from a brand than YesStyle. I often find the best reviews on YesStyle even if I will ultimately purchase from another retailer. I don’t know why that is.

Great video and the level of work and dedication by outting stamps and ingredients list is out of yt world! Thank you Alice!

Very good products, very good ingredients. I too use korean skincare products, and since then I sow a significant change in my skin (for the better). Thank you for this video. And your skin looks fabulous after this skincare routine.

YOUR SKIN IS GLOWING! I wish to achieve this

I WANT that HaruHaru Wonder serum. I love that brand so much. That moisturizer in the black rice line is So great for me. But I have to wait. 🤣🤣🤣

Amazon is also fantastic for getting Korean skincare. The majority I f the sellers are the brands themselves so far so it’s always authentic a tiny bit more but the deals they run sometimes are really good too. I just got the RNW shining emulsion for 5.60$ off Amazon I always keep kbeauty in my cart and then everyday I’ll scroll through the cart and see which ones go on sale or have coupons and there’s usually one. During Black Friday and all the way til Christmas everything was like 50-60% off. That’s if you need something in a day or so and can’t wait!

The Stylevana order I placed on Black Friday, which then said “shipped” a month ago on the 12th, is supposedly FINALLY getting here on Saturday! I don’t know if I even want any of it anymore 🤦🏻‍♀️

The the SAEM Derma Plan Balancing Moisturizer 130ml / 4.39oz is on sale on Amazon on a deal right now for 5.70$ from the actual brand. It’s on a 1 day deal for 68% off. I love when they do this. Just an fyi for anyone interested in a light moisturizer can’t beat Korean ones and fragrance free etc

I tried the HaruHaru Wonder Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel. OMG, the foam!!!!! Use the smallest amount possible! My skin feels clean, but not stripped. Many blessings💖💖💖

I've been ordering from Stylevana regularly for nearly 3 years and I usually get my orders within 2 weeks! I live in the UK. The fastest I got my order was in 9 days and it wasn't a kit, a few separate products. I always make sure all items I order are ready to be dispatched within 24 hours. If it says 7-14 days, I leave it out and order next time.

Awesome video as usual! Have a violin clip tp share? 🎻

Hi Alice, it was a great discovery for me how to use Korean cleansers and thank you very much for teaching us, previously I used to run out very quickly. Thanks Alice and greetings from Chile ❤️

Hi Alice, Good review, I 'm sure New viewers will agree. Thanks.

That Vana Box is soooo good.

You aren't wrong about the cleanser size. I use a pencil-eraser sized amount and it's still more than enough foam to get my entire face and neck. They last FOREVER.

I recall my first order of Corsx products nearly 20years ago and I should not have used the American brand too frequently as the content is far too strong 😅 The price point is also a huge plus 😊

Please, could you make a video about the benefits of each of the centella components? Thank you ❤️

I thought with foam cleansers in general (kbeauty or not), small amounts and foaming in the hands is how you’re supposed to use it.

Hallo, thank you so much. Yes this helped a lot.

I also think that Stylebana has the best prices. However, Wishtrend has amazing shippinf times. I receive my orders in the US around 4 days later. They also have kits at very good price.

Laneige, I did not even realize that was K-Beauty. I am falling behind. lol I have Laneige Lip mask, I do like it but not mind blowing as I hear IMO. :) This is a very interesting video, I am enjoying watching it. Thank you!

Great video and I definitely learned things from your video on how to order from Korean companies. But I have been a customer of these brands for about three years now without waiting more than a month at most. (I never expect to get product from Korea in less than a month), however, this fall I made two orders to first Stylevana and then Yesstyle and waited literally for 6 weeks before canceling one from Stylevana (placed on September 8 and canceled on November 8) and another one from yesstyle that I placed on November 1 and received on December 22 but only after loads of emails. I think the thing that made me the most unhappy was I didn’t get a single sample after waiting all that time. Right now I’m still licking my wounds, but maybe I will try again this year now that I know how to sort properly. I’m hoping that influencers might make an impact on how Korean companies process their orders and signal that a product might be back ordered before a customer makes their order. Anyway, really enjoyed seeing you use these products it’s a great box!

I looked up my last Stylevanna order. I placed the order on Nov 27 and received it Dec 19. I'm in Canada.

I wonder what it would feel like if I put the boj red bean gel on then the Laneige cream mist on top? 🧐I do have my eye on the new purito oat toner. 🧐

Thanks for explaining/defining ampoule. I think I looked it up one time and was more confused so this makes sense. Speaking of filters not available in the US, have you tried the Avene SPF with triasorb or the LRP UVMune 400? Looking forward to the follow-up on the k-beauty sites and ordering. Someone asked in the comments on another channel why their Stylevana order was taking so long as they were new to ordering from them, so the information is appreciated.

hahahahaha... sure it was the tube! I cannot stop laughing. hahahahahaha

I don’t get the regulations in the US when they are so slack with food ingredients 🤷‍♀️

Last time I ordered from Stylevana was in August last year. I placed a big order that never arrived to me. I have since then been trying to get in touch with them. They replyed once in november and said that they would get back to me after they contacted the courier. Never heard from them since. Their customer service is really bad. I’m very disappointed and I’m never ordering from them again.

Can u do full brand reviews of iope? It's the most fascinating brand to me right now. Seems quite affordable too. More value for money than affordable i guess.

Okay, tbh it annoys me that you don't have more views, followers, and likes. Come on, everyone, it's easy to hit that thumbs up button!! Sigh, I love Stylevana lol All the cleansers I use require a smaller than dime sized amount, even the e.l.f. Holy Hydration cleanser. Good cleansers just go a long way.

Alice..or anyone....I would love some K-Beauty (or western) toners that can be used with (before) Tretinoin application.....Like after I wash, TONE , let dry and then apply Tret......Anything with AHA, BHA, green tea just burn like crazy..Am I crazy that green tea is irritating? Breaks my heart so I am hoping it's something else. I refer to you as the expert in what I am missing as for as reading the I-list..I am so very thankful for your help and expertise...

Hi Alice! This video came right on time as I just got the Cosrx snail mucin from the ulta sale. I ordered my first order in November from stylevana but never received it. Should I call my bank to get my money back possibly? I’ve reached out to stylevana but no update 😢. Thank you for your content ❤

I was looking at the hard wonder egf ampoule and the sensitive version of the toner what do u think are they good worth it should I get them and try them. I am looking for a watery toner I just finished my cica toner I have some toners with body but I want another watery one and I don't know what to get the etude toner or idk it's so hard to tell which is watery and which ones have body.

Great job Alice I do wish we could get Usda going Why can't cross border studies and approvals be used ?

Can you recommend a good peptide serum for sensitive skin. I have been using Augustine’s Bader serum for eyes and face but it is far too expensive for what it is. Even though it works well with my skin type I think we are paying far too much for expensive packaging.

I bought cosrx snail mucin 96 essence from stylevana. It is watery in texture . is stylevana selling fake products or product got reformulated ?

Hi everyone. I saw a Penn Smith video where she stated there's a risk of pore blockage with lower molecular weight HA. Anyone read about this, by chance?

I have wondered what the hell is an emulsion? What is it good for, or do I need it? I'm like do I really have to add emulsion as another step in my skincare routine?

Could you use the BOJ gel with the nuface and similar devices?

I have a question about the sunscreen- I am picky about the ingredients in my skincare because I don’t want to deal with cancer causing, endocrine disrupters, etc. I know that chemical sunscreens in the US are bad for you and also not Hawaii approved. Are these new chemical sunscreens bad for us too? Are these new chemical sunscreens (according to EU and Korea) safe? Or are they just as bad as the ones we have here but “work better” (meaning feel nicer and such)

Have you tried Vegreen cica serum? I've been using it for the past month and so far it's helping my skin. I've tried so many products and nothing else really works. Dr syed's skincare is a scam video is really making me rethink buying any.

Isn’t there also some other ridiculous, confusing, loops that companies have to go through to get sunscreen filters approved in the USA? Someone explained it once, but I can’t remember it. I just remember that it made it nearly impossible, expensive, and it would take years to get a filter approved. I think La Roche Posay, or another company, got a filter approved here, and it took almost a decade or so. It was ridiculous.

Do u think Stylevanna can deliver quickly to Caribbean?

I made a pretty large order on Stylvanna for black Friday and still haven't received anything? When I try and track my order it says its been packed but ups is still waiting for the package? Does anyone know if I will get my order? I tried reaching out via e mail with no response? Everything I ordered from the site said it was in stock and would all be shipped together? Please let me know if you think I am going to eventually get what I paid for?
