When B from CrazyPopLock sent me her Love Package I instantly fell in love with the Sheet masks! She told me she bought them from Sasa.com and thats when my crazy lil obession with this Hong Kong based website and Asian skincare began! There are literally thousands of products including skincare, makeup, haircare, health supplements and much more with lots of Korean, Taiwanese and Chinese brands as well as high end like Clinique, Lancome, Elisabeth Arden ect.
It was so fun browsing through all the products and seeing all the different things we dont get here in the UK. A few days later I got an email from Sasa offering me free delivery over $29 (normally $75)...it was like the stars aligned themselves for me lol!! So of course I had to buy something!! Being a little bit clueless about Asian skincare and brands I just decided to pick some items which we dont get here in the UK, I later found out after watching looooads of Sasa hauls on youTube, discovering BubzBeauty channel and chatting to the lovely Jacq from Beauty Sketch (skincare guru extraordinaire) that by some fluke I did actually pick some good products! Yay!
I ordered my items on 30th April and they arrived yesterday on 10th May so it took less then 2 weeks to arrive which is not bad at all BUT I only picked my box up today because even though my order was not that big (only $36) crappy UK customs charged me £12.52 extra when it got here!! Booooo!! Apparently because the value of the goods was over £15 and came from outside the EU I was charged 20% VAT (tax) plus a standard £8 Royal Mail admin fee. I was sooooo not impressed!! But as least I know to be more careful in the future. Have you ever been charged for goods coming into the UK from Sasa or other countries?
Anyways aside from that I was still super excited...here's what I got...

I've even started putting together a wishlist for my next order! When I tweeted about placing my order on Sasa I had a lovely chat with Sam from Sam Ram Beauty who told me that they sell Estee Lauder and Lancome sample lipsticks from only $3 ~ £1.90!! How the hell did I miss that before?! So yeah... definitely want to get that next time along with some Tsubaki haircare products.
Have you tried any of these? Can you recommend any other products from Sasa?

aw thank you!! I just did it this way because when I read other hauls I always like to see the product, what it claims to do, how much product and the price all together so that I can get a better idea of the whole package. lolx
Deleteomg really upset you got charged customs. Really scared I will get charged too.
ReplyDeleteI have placed 2 orders with sasa before (both being over £100) and was never charged. This order now was £200 so fingers and toes crossed I don't get charged or else it means no more sasa for me =(
Great Haul. I ordered the same Silk Whitia face masks and Jacq is skincare guru!
Excited and nervous for mine to come =S
oh hun I know I was really surprised I got charged too especially for just 36 bucks! I have my fingers, toes, legs everything crossed that you dont get charged or it wont be too excessive! lol Yep Jacq is expert in skincare lol! I found her blog thru your swap, so thank you! lol
DeleteI cant wait to see what you have bought!! Im soo excited for you!! xx
do I see my name!? :P hehe thx for linking back to my blog, dear~ ^3^
Deleteyou picked nice stuff. do try out the silk whitia, see how you like them, I prefer other brands better than that though... e.g. my beauty diary. softymo cleansing stuff are real good, even better than department store brands. My sister swears by them.
cheers~
your do indeed! lol no worries! I tried one of the Silk Whitia's....it was really nice but I know what you mean about washing off. The other other one I have tried so far is by FaceQ which is better because all the serum get absorbed into your skin so no washing! I have two beauty diary ones too in Chocolate Truffle and Black Pearl...looking forward to trying those even more now! I've been using the Softymo cleanser every day since I got it...its nice so far and has made my face so light!:-)
Deletenice haul!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks KJ, my face is gona get a pampering tonight Im telling ya! lol
DeleteI like that 5 layer cotton pieces, do they claim something special about it?
ReplyDeleteyeah me too, no special claims..its 100% cotton like all cotton pads but the reason I got this is so that I can use it for toner like it shows on the pic of the face on the box. Together the pad is the same thickness as a regular cotton wool pad but when I soak it in toner I can separate it into the 5 layers have a kinda face mask. :-)
DeleteNot sure if we get these 5 layer ones here but I havent seen them (prob cos I havent been looking lol)
these look fantastic! can't wait for the reviews x
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! I'm gona go for it tonight and try as many as possible! lol
DeleteI so totally tempted by your haul! I'm planning to order some stuff from SASA but will wait for your reviews first :)
ReplyDeleteDo it! Do it!! Dont wait! The foaming cleanser, toner, water sleeping mask and face masks are all soooo nice!! Only been a few days but so far to good! and dont forget to get the cotton pads...they are a must and will give your face a lil mini face mask with your toner. Let me know when you've placed your order!!
DeleteI remember when I was in Hong Kong and there was a Sasa around every corner, it was fantastic :) Hope these products don't disappoint!
ReplyDeleteaw how lucky are you!! I soooo want to go to Hong Kong one day!! Thanks so much for stopping by xx
DeleteGreat haul! I love shopping at Sasa. Ever since I first came across their website I've been buying regularly from there. I love the Silk Whitia masks and always pick them up when they have the BOGO free sale. You're going to love the laneige sleeping pack btw! It's my all time favorite to date :)
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks so much!! Yeah I am reeeeallly loving the Leneige Water sleeping pack!! I have to admit I have never really been into skincare until now so I havent tried many products but I chose the Water sleeping pack because I've never come across a product like it here...Im soo glad I picked it. Its just to moisturising and leaves my skin so supple! <3
Deleteawesome haul! everything looks lush. I want to try shopping at sasa.com as well. ^_^
ReplyDeleteGot for it!! I got an email today actually they have the free shipping over $29 offer again so its the perfect time! Let me know what I get...I loooove seeing sasa hauls! xx
DeleteOh I'll have to check these out, I feel a little splurge coming along! Gosh thats so annoying about customs, luckily in Australia you can import up to $1000 a month without having to pay customs fees, thank god too as I buy alot online!
ReplyDeletejoanne from jimmilou.com

DeleteI prefer my scheming masks, you can try that next time
ReplyDeleteyeah I need to try myscheming! :-)
Deleteomg!!!! love each n evry single product in ur haul !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
Deleteyay thats lovely!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! :-)
DeleteWOW!!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute haul :):)
Thanks Apoorva! :-)
Deletewow, nice haul. I agree it is discouraging when the customs charge you extra. When I was in the UK, I was charged by royal mail for stuff I bought from iherb. Surprisingly, I wasn't charged, when I placed an order with iHerb, that too for a relatively large amount, from India. I don't know how this works. But I am glad India has some advantages I guess.. hehe
