Black Friday/Cyber Monday is upon us again and we've decided to follow the same format as last year to "Redeem Now, Shop Later!". This year, more than ever, has been hard on everyone and we're being super mindful of everyone's budgets (and ours!). Black Friday/Cyber Monday causes this "FOMO" feeling and overspending to quickly get a "good deal". We wanted everyone to slow down and buy what you need, when you need it. Redeem Now, Shop Later! How It Works: We've added a Loyalty Reward to get 10% OFF your order* for you to redeem between Thursday 26th November 2020 9PM - Tuesday 1st December 2020 9AM. All you need to do is sign up for our loyalty program (i.e. create an account) or if you already have an account, sign in to redeem! Note: While you may be able to "redeem" the reward multiple times, there is a limit ONE per person. We will actively monitoring this and if you attempt to do it multiple times, we will remove the All VOUCHERS from your account.  Discount Amount: 10% OFF* (Brand Exclusions Apply) Reward Redemption Period: Thursday 26th November 2020 9PM - Tuesday 1st December 2020 9AM This is the period where the reward will be available to redeem on the loyalty program NOT the period when you can only use the voucher.

(Valid for ONE redemption per account/user ONLY. If you redeem it more than once, we will void all vouchers). Brand Exclusions: Glossier, Krave Beauty, Peach & Lily, The Ordinary

Black Friday/Cyber Monday can be an extremely overwhelming and stressful period for consumers and retailers - trying to keep up with all the deals AND FOMO (fear of missing out) on deals.It can lead to overspending and buying products that you don't necessarily need but didn't want to miss out on a good deal (🙋 we have been guilty of this! Totally creates hoarding issues and 'oh! I forgot I had this moments...'😂)The idea didn't really sit well with us - we don't want you to feel pressured during these 4 days to purchase something that you might not necessarily need now and end up buying something that you might not use/forget about. Or create a massive dent in your wallet as you get your Christmas shopping list sorted! We also didn't fair for those who had placed orders within this week to go 'damn, I should have waited to place my order!' So to combat that, we're offering the "Redeem Now, Shop Later" option 😊 Redeem Now, Shop Later!

All you need to do is sign up for our loyalty program (i.e. create an account) or if you already have an account, sign in to redeem! Note: While you may be able to "redeem" the reward multiple times, there is a limit ONE per person. We will actively monitoring this and if you attempt to do it multiple times, we will remove the reward completely for your account.    Discount Amount: 10% OFF* (Brand Exclusions Apply) Reward Redemption Period: Thursday 28th November 2019 7PM - Tuesday 3rd December 2019 9AM This is the period where the reward will be available to redeem on the loyalty program NOT the period when you can only use the voucher.

A few months ago, we made the change to biodegradable/compostable shipping satchels and the feedback we received from you guys were amazing. Thank you! 😍 Our next step was to always replace our bubblewrap. Just as satisfying it is to pop bubblewrap (like pimples!), they're BOTH not good for you. Our current bubblewrap is branded as "eco-friendly" and "oxo-degradable" and we've continued to use them in the meantime while we searched for alternatives that could completely replace them. We put "eco-friendly" and "oxo-degradable" in quotation marks as we've done a lot of research into bubblewrap brands pushing for eco-friendly (i.e. made from recycled plastic) and oxo-degradable"and all the science shows...while it's a good alternative, we're not completely getting rid of plastic waste. Most of the time, they're just marketing hot words to lure people into thinking they're better alternatives but it doesn't mean they're actually good for the environment. So that's not good enough for us. We know that as an online retailer, we play an important role in the plastic footprint and important role in reducing that footprint. Our research has lead us to "greenwrap" (Geami WrapPak): From their website: Geami WrapPak is a disposable and recycleable combination of die cut kraft paper and tissue interleaf that is used to cushion and protect fragile items during shipment. The papers used to create WrapPak are either Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certified or made using recycled content. WrapPak is biodegradable and 100% recyclable through your community’s recycling program. It is a delicate balance of making sure that your products are well protected YET ensuring that we don't add to plastic waste. We've done some tests on the greenwrap (we've had fun wrapping some products in them and throwing them around 😂) but the real test is you guys! Unfortunately the wrapping doesn't look as "pretty" and neat as bubblewrap but the end goal should be the same - it should protect your products while also protecting the earth! 😍 Over the next few weeks, we'll be trialing out the greenwrap on our packages and gathering feedback from you guys to see how you're liking it!

A few months ago, Rooki Beauty caught our eye and after perusing through their website - we were sold. Made in Japan, clean, packed with superfoods, cruelty free, vegan friendly...they ticked all our boxes! ✅ We KNEW we wanted to support the brand and we reached out to them to see if we could stock Rooki Beauty in Australia. We chatted with Hayley, their founder, and she is AMAZING 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♂️. We have so much respect for her and her growing company!  Jo (the reviewer!) Skin Type: Normal/Combination. Not acne prone or sensitive.  Goals: Brighter skin (need that glow!), anti-aging (😭) and hydration. Winter is here but hopefully not dry, flaky skin! Length of Testing: I used the products in my routine for a month Honey Matcha Cleansing Drops I don't know about you guys but I love honey and matcha to eat so I was completely drawn to this product. Honestly I'm a total sucker for anything green tea/matcha so any product that incorporates those, I will most likely try 😂 (like Krave Beauty's Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser and Peach & Lily's Matcha Antioxidant Pudding).  What is it? An intelligent, dual-action cleanser that preps your skin by first removing dirt and impurities, and then replenishing it with drops of nourishing Honey, omega-rich Chia Seeds and organic Uji Matcha. This innovative superfood cleanser is formulated with a gold-standard Vitamin C derivative - Ascorbyl Glucoside, that activates on contact with water. It also contains complexion-smoothening Lactic Acid to help you achieve that dreamy, lit-from-within glow, plus a rare biomimetic peptide that actively increases cell turnover and healing by inducing the synthesis of collagen and elastin in skin. Ingredient List That description completely had me sold. It pretty much ticked all my skin goals - glow, anti-aging and hydration (does that kind of rhyme?). Cleansing is one of my favourite skincare steps - it's the best feeling in the world after a long day to just wipe off your makeup.  The Verdict Routine Step: Used as a second cleanser, alternating between this and Krave Beauty's Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser for a few days to make sure my skin was agreeable with it, then replacing Krave for the next month.  A little bit goes a long way. I make the mistake of reading the instructions where it said to to use a "generous" amount and accidentally used too much and got some into my eye 😭 That was a painful lesson! I get worried with products that either have a lot of hype or expectations around them, only because I don't want to be disappointed in them. AND Rooki's products are quite expensive. Thankfully, this did not disappoint. It's definitely on my holy grail status of cleansers (it can sit beside Krave Beauty's Cleanser!) It definitely made my skin glow and has actually helped with a milia that I've had for ages on my cheek (within a day of using it, the milia was much smaller! I was so impressed). It's hydrating, leaves your skin clean (but not squeaky or rubbery clean - it leaves my skins smooth) and definitely adds that glow factor to my skin.  I've been pretty in love with the cleanser and torn between using this or going back to Krave. Decisions, decisions... It does have a bit of a "soap" smell that lingers afterwards that I wasn't too fond off but eventually did get used to. It reminded me of Dove's Body Soap Bar for some reason but thankfully it doesn't dry out your skin like soap. And after time, I think I got used to it so I stopped noticing lol. Green Pulp Paste Masque I was pretty excited about this one because a lot of people seemed to love it. It sounded absolutely fascinating with its gel to paste texture and the warming sensation. And on the plus side, it's in a tube packaging which I love because it makes it so much more convenient and less wastage.  I do have a confession to make - I get pretty lazy with masks. But I have recently started hair masking as well and thought that it was perfect because I can now do a whole pamper night with hair + skin mask then wash them off at the same time because I'm lazy efficient like that! Pamper yourself! What is it? Supercharge your skin with a youth-preserving masque made with our signature Green Pulp Paste™, an unprecedented blend of five key plant complexes steeped in beneficial free radical fighting antioxidants and phytonutrients like Lycopene, Beta-Carotenes, Polyphenols and Vitamin E. This intensively hydrating gel masque transforms into a smooth white paste when activated with massage, leaving your skin with an instant spa glow. Brightening Tomato Lycopene is supercharged with age-reversing Tea Polyphenols - revealing visibly plumper, younger and brighter skin in just one application. Did someone say glow? 👀 Just one application? 🤔 Is this possible?! The Verdict Routine Step: Used 1-2 times a week, whenever I felt like I needed a boost. Most importantly did it give me a glow after one application?  YES IT DID. I'm really in love with this product. The texture from gel to paste is fun to apply on your face and the mild warming sensation feels really relaxing. I honestly feel incredibly fancy whenever I put this mask on. It left my skin glowing, smooth and supple so it checks all my boxes! The ultimate test for me was my period week where my skin becomes dull (and I'm in definite need of some pampering and TLC!). I used it twice in that week and could see it was helping my skin! 😍 Take that period week skin!  (Random Fact: I always lament my skin looks dull during my period but Chris always says 'it looks the same' 🤔😭 Does it mean that I'm always glowing or I'm just always dull?) That aside, I did see a difference even when I wasn't on my period and have happily been using it for the last month or so now.   Skinfood Saviour Creme I admit, I have a running cycle of changing moisturisers. Generally that's the one product I purchase to test out a brand - if I don't like the moisturiser on my face, I can repurpose it as a hand or body cream. Might just be me though 😂  So I wasn't too worried about this step. My skin does get a flaky during winter and sometimes when I apply foundation, I can see that it doesn't quite sit right because of my dry skin - so I wanted to combat that.  What is it? A heroic three-in-one bioflavonoid moisturiser infused with antioxidant-rich Kale, resveratrol-rich Lingonberries and protein-packed Chia Seeds. This potent and luxurious cell regenerating crème contains no mineral oil or silicones, making it a rarity in the world of moisturisers. This new generation superfood moisturiser is also blended with a trinity of skin rescuing ingredients - Squalane, Hyaluronic Acid and CoQ10, that cocoon your skin in moisture while reversing the damage caused by environmental free radicals. The result? Firmer, younger and visibly improved skin. The Verdict Routine Step: At night, just before bed. The ultimate test is - does it absorb fast enough before I get lured into bed? 😂  I was previously using Peach & Lily's Matcha Antioxidant Pudding which I surprisingly loved. I might write a review for that one day! Rooki's Superfood Saviour Creme feels amazing. It's very moisturising without the heavy feeling and I wake up the next day with really soft, plump and glowing skin. It sinks and absorbs really nicely into the skin as well! I hate having to wait for my moisturisers to absorb into my skin, since it's the my last step (and I'm literally, two steps away from my bed lol). Overall Rooki Beauty Thoughts I really love this brand and all their products so far. Starting this trial, I wasn't sure if I was going to incorporate their products into my daily routine. The products are pricier than other skincare brands so I wasn't sure if they would be worth to be in my routine.  However after using the products for a month (or more!), I can safely say I'm pretty in love with their products and they'll have permanent spots in my routine 😍 Rooki's research, ethos and philosophy really shows in their amazing products. We're really excited to see this brand grow!

New Layout! We've been hard at work these last few weeks, customizing and coding our new layout for Heartdrops! I spent many nights sighing whenever I broke something while trying to fix something, so if there are any issues (no doubt!), please let us know and we'll hopefully try and fix it soon! 😓 Sorry in advance!! Free Shipping You guys have asked (and asked!) for free shipping and we're so excited to be able to offer it to you guys! At the moment, it is only available for orders over $99 and for Sendle option only (i.e. no Parcel Collect/Locker or PO Boxes). We'll be trialing out on how it goes and fingers crossed, we can decrease the order minimum! 🤞 The Future 🔮 We are continuing on curating new products weekly and as always, listening to what YOU guys want. We are always open to requests (it's not 100% guaranteed but we do read every single one of them and file them away for consideration!). We have many exciting things coming your way 🙌

Over the last few months, we've been carefully researching into alternatives into our postal satchels and ensuring that we aren't harming the environment. We're aware that as a retailer, we generate a lot of plastic waste.  Rested assured, our previous satchels are made out of recycled plastic so they weren't the worst...but they weren't the best either. We wanted to be able to do more. Our careful research led us to the comPOSTable satchel bags (or alternatively the "Dirt Bags"). These "Dirt Bags" are: Bio-based ie. partly made from PLANTS Biodegradable with no toxic residues (or micro-plastics!) And COMPOSTABLE at HOME! Soon, you'll be seeing your orders in these very noticeable black packages! 

Hey guys! We're so excited to launch Heartdrops to everyone. We've been hard at work over the last few months, curating awesome products for you guys and most importantly, crunching the numbers to make sure we get you the best deals possible! A little about us - the people behind Heartdops. I'm Jo, and my partner (in business and in life!) is Chris. I love skincare, and in particular Asian Beauty! I was first introduced to it a few years ago, by the Asian Beauty Subreddit. Armed with the overwhelming knowledge and support by those lovely people, I set out to see what was available in Australia. I was disappointed. We didn't have that many physical stores (at least not in good old Sydney) and if we did, then they were crazily marked up, not to mention with limited stock. So I turned my search to online stores such as YesStyle but then I was hit by either markups and worst of all...expensive overseas shipping that took ages. Thus, Heartdrops was formed. It's an exciting and scary time for us. We're currently testing the waters, to see if there is interest in our store hence we may have limited ranges and stock at the moment, but please do get in touch with us if there's anything in particular that you'll really want :) We're extremely friendly and want to help you guys!
