jolce.com: Haul and Service Review

Hello everyone!!

Its been awhile since my last post! But here's an interesting one! Well I hope its an interesting one :P

So I recently got back from Thailand and when I was in Thailand I was so excited to be buying all kinds of makeup and skincare products that we don't have in the UK and literally went mad and spent lots and lots of money on random things it was all so pretty and cute!!!
 

Anywho... the last week that I was there I wanted to buy things that I really wanted because it would be too expensive to buy once I'm here (UK); mostly because of postage. I am loving all kinds of Korean cosmetics and skincare products and as Thailand is pretty close and they have a lot of Korean brands out there it'd make sense that I buy it there.

But for a tiny moment when I was buying I had a casual moment of thought, and thought to myself ''oh I wonder how much these are if I got them online?!?!'' So, once I got back to the hotel did a little bit of screen shopping and well the results were not so pleasing!!!!

THEY WERE ALL CHEAPER TO GET ONLINE AND HAS BEEN THE ENTIRE TWO MONTHS I WAS BUYING IN THAILAND!!!!



At this point I wanted  to like scream and shout at myself! I mean it wasn't like it was just a couple of pennies it was pounds people, pounds £££!!! I cannot believe how much they are charging and I completely fell for the 'I'm in Thailand things must be cheaper here' line!! Seriously, like seriously!! Stupid!!



So as a result of my own stupidity I found a new website that sells a good range of Korean cosmetics and skincare and they are jolce.com. They have really good prices and offer free delivery!!!! And of course yours truly made a purchase. I wasn't really sure on what the products would be as they were a bit too good to be true so I ordered these as a test run ===>

Etude House Styling Eye Liner in brown and black and here's what it looks like.

And I also purchased this awesome looking thing purely becasue Wonder Woman is on it! :P Mizon Ultra Repair Wonder Cream and this is the big 300ml one. And this is what it looks like ===>

This is my test run with this website and of course I had to run into some trouble didn't I!?!

So, at first they had options for picking which currency you prefer, and of course naturally I picked pounds (£) and when I was paying for the goods at checkout it had said that my order was £13.19 but when I paid with PayPay I was actually charged £16.36 and I know I should have double checked but I mean you have faith in them that they would be nice people, right? 

Anyway, now if this had been a pound or so difference I would have counted it as currency exchange rate difference for that day but it was at least £3 so I contacted them and the reply was relatively fast considering some websites don't answer back at all! And after a few emails, they went a bit quiet so assuming they were working on why there was an issue there; I left them to it.

A few days later I got an email saying that my order had been shipped so I was like 'wwhhhaaattt!?!??!?!' So I emailed them saying I'm assuming you have come to  a conclusion on what you wanted to do with the difference? And drum rolls please!! 
 

(OK that's not quite it but he looks so cute) 

The have decided to refund the difference and have now removed the options for different currencies as they experienced the same issue when they tested it out!

I wrote this blog as I was experiencing everything and a few days ago I got my delivery, VERY
well packed everything in bubble wrap and it arrived before the 15 days that they estimated.



I'm sorry this is a long post for just 3 products, I wanted everyone to know that this is a good place to buy and they have a good customer service too! :) :) 

So I definitely recommend them!!  
Anyway that's all for today 


xoxo

PS sorry about all the cute lil things all over the text, I just found them and couldn't resist!
