The Case Full of Seoul – Best of Korean Skincare Kit Available Now!

Liz, can you re- post this deal at $50 + free shipping ? I’m afraid no one will see my comments on such an old post and I’d love MSA readers to get the deal and you to get the clicks before it sells out!

This has been reduced to $50! Use Liz’s link. Hurry, it will sell out quickly!

These are full size products. I have been using for 2 weeks and see a dramatic improvement in my skin. I absolutely love love love this package. I’d like to buy another box but don’t know how long the products are good for

Just ordered this. I’ll reserve my judgment until the thing arrives and I have tried it out for about a month.. but for now it looks pretty good.

A heads up: the full price for me after taxes (I think in my state it’s about 8%) and the non-Costco member 5% penalty was $167.92. No proper Korean skin care regimen would cost less anyway.

Good sets did not cost much less ~15 years ago, and were not nearly as comprehensive, so it makes little sense that people are up in arms in 2018 about the cost of K-regimens that have over time a) become more effective and extensive as well as b) more beautifully packaged including a nice, clear manual (those didn’t exist so much back in the day, and you had to keep asking other women, who kept disagreeing, which was a f*ing hassle).

Ffwd to 2018, it seems K-beauty fans have been upset this kit doesn’t have a double cleanse element, but I already have the SU:M 37 melting balm (let’s get real; most of us have some type of melting balm or cleansing oil at this point), and have mostly been wanting an affordable good foam cleanser to try. I am not thrilled with the afterfeel of a sensitive skin cleanser I was gifted last year. It only seems to sort of work all right on product-free skin, not on skin with makeup residue.

Yes, there is probably at least some kind of “pink tax” in a way, but the skin care industry overall for women is still far more highly developed than for men, so while that complaint is solid more often than I’d like in other life areas, skin care isn’t one of those yet. I hope it catches up for the men. I, for one, prefer men with great skin, as it is a sign of both health and good self-care. :shrug:

Oh, and even though it is uncomfortable to think about, the skin care technology we enjoy today from East Asia should probably cost ~2x as high in a just world, given that a lot of it is invented/developed/marketed by women, and the creative power / labor of women is traditionally undervalued, especially in highly patriarchal societies like Korea where the gender pay gap is always one of the worst in the OECD. (look up Korea gender pay gap on Google images and check out the eye-watering bar charts)

Coming back to the kit, I don’t need more of the kinds of other products in it (kinda set with my usual O Hui and Belif moisure/essence/eye cream products) but I was curious about the 107 vinegar thing, the watery sun cream, and needed a primer anyway.

My sunscreen from the highly recommended LRP has unfortunately been giving me flare-ups, which is a huge bummer, because I paid a lot to have 10 oz total heading into the nice weather (though it might have something to do with leaving one of the tubes in the car… which heats up under the sun). I already have a Smashbox primer from a Sephora Favorites kit from last year, but the slippery texture and leaky container meant that it has just been collecting dust in my bathroom this whole time.

Skin care for me is like going to the gym. I already invested in the subscription. I just need to use it. I hope this kickstarts more adherence to a ritual and routine for me this spring/summer.

Urgh, product overload and yet I still need this! Maybe I can wait until it sells out (saving me from myself) or doesn’t sell out and goes on sale.

May Coop Raw Sauce is my #1 favorite product that I’ve found in the past two years, my face drinks this amazing essence up every morning and night, and has never looked better!

WOW that’s really high for products and brands I’ve never heard of!! I love the concept though but at that price I could get a kit from Tatcha and I know for a fact that their the stuff!!!

I was wondering how good of a deal this is, so I looked up prices (may vary a bit):
01. Maycoop Raw Sauce Mini Duo 1.35 oz – RV $28 for both bottles (on sale for $20)
02. 9 Wishes Rice Foaming Cleanser 4.06 oz – RV $19 (sale $13.50)
03. 107 Core Flex Essential Liquid 1.69 oz – $64
04. Urang True Rose Repair Essence 1.69 oz – $47
05. Tov Camellia Wrinkle Free Eye Solution 0.42 oz – $25
06. Maycoop Raw Moisturizer 1.69 oz – $25 (couldn’t find this size, so price is based off 80 ml)
07. IWLT Protective Base Sunscreen 1.69 oz – $35
08. Touch in Sol No Poreblem Primer 1.01 oz – $18
09. Urang Vitamin Oil Serum 1.01 oz – $57
10. IWLT All-In-One Concentrate Treatment Mask – $16 for two

So, looks like it has an approximate RV of $334.

Awfully expensive though I appreciate the concept. I love K-beauty products, but for this price I could get at least 3 PinkSeoul or BomiBox shipments of full size products.

Wow! That price seems extraordinarily high! I could never justify paying that!

Does anyone know if this is available in-store and if so, is it the same price? I was wondering because on the wesite this price point includes s+h.
