Gmarket Haul #2
^-^
Gmarket haul pictures! Don't drool!
Box - Unopened...
... Box - Opened!
(re-simulated.. I was too excited and forgot to took a picture before
opening up all the packages...)
My cosmetics, skincare and brushes from
Castledew and Etude House...
belts (from 2 sellers) + free gifts
The white belt came free with the top black belt and the ribbon hair ties came free with the bottom black belt... I scored a pretty good deal right?! One of the belts cost KRW 5,900 while the other cost KRW 7,400 (I don't know which belt cost KRW 5,900 and which belt cost KRW 7,400 though...). Both belts are very pretty and quality wise also not too bad!! I should have taken the back view of them but forgot (again!).
Free Eyeshadow Case+ Castledew Pearl Up Eyeshadows
(left to right) Gold Khaki (9740), Ice Castle (9814), Castle Blue Pearl (9449)
Sad to say, I am rather disappointed with the Castledew this time round. First up, Gold Khaki didn't look like the deep rich green as per the swatches on the VOV web site.. not too sure if it works for me..
Ice Castle looks like a light glittery-silver-lilac instead of the glittery-silver and lastly, the Castle Blue Pearl is a very pretty grey-lavender (yes, I like this colour) but it reaches me cracked at the top right corner.. :( and Just now, I accidentally dropped it on the floor and it was smashed T_T but I managed to press it back into the pan..
Don't think I'll depot this shadow into the case this time around.. :( Afraid that it will be messy...
On Screen Primer No.1 Oil Absorbing + Speedy Total Makeup Base No.1
On Screen Primer No.1 Oil Absorbing
Be a Star of the Silver Screen with Complexion Care Makeup Solution for Flawless Looking Skin
Oily Shine Control Powder: Prevents makeup clumping, fading and facial oil accumulation. Makeup primer & base combination: promotes radiant skin tone.
Speedy Total Makeup Base No.1
3-in-1 Multi-Function Sun Balm (Natural Beige) Makeup Base + Foundation + Sunscreen in One
Complete One-Step Base Makeup! Light and sheer coverage works to correct and lighten skin tone (base), conceals blemishes (foundation) and provides a smooth matte finish for the presentation of flawless complexion. UV Sun Ray Protection! Protects skin from UVA & UVB sun ray damage with SPF. (SPF50+/PA+++) Smooth, Clean Coverage without Clumping! Moist, smooth textured balm makeup that prevents oily shine in a simple manual application.
I like the packaging!! Girly and PINK!! On Screen Primer (Primer) comes in a hygienic pump dispenser while the Speedy Total Makeup Base (Base) is a normal squeeze tube.
I tried both products yesterday and since I only wore it once, I can't really pass a verdict yet. Both products have a light fragrance, the Base having a nicer but slightly stronger smell as compared to the Primer, which have a rather unpleasant smell in my opinion. But its not very strong, barely detectable.
The Primer is a little hard to spread and it blends ok-well. It might be due to my imagination but I think that it covered up a bit of my pores too. The oil controlling power seems pretty decent, I didn't feel that my face was greasy but I'm not sure if I looked greasy as I didn't look into the mirror much yesterday.
As for the Base.. mmm... the texture isn't very liquid.. not exactly creamy either.. balm like texture maybe (not too sure how to describe)?? Its easy to spread, the coverage is sheer-medium so I still need to use a concealer. This colour matches me well (I use ZA concealer shade #2, Lunasol Skin Fusing Powder Foundation OC 02). It does not oxide on my skin, but anyways, my foundations don't really oxidise on my face, even if it does, the colour difference is not very great.
I will try to remember to update on my reviews on these 2 products.. But not sure if any one wants to know of my opinion though haha..
Primer is available in 2 types, No. 1 being Oil Absorbing, No 2 being Moisturising. Base is available in a shades, No 1 (Natural Beige), No 2 (Fair Beige).
Oh~ m’EYE Lash Petticoat + XXX
One is a mascara base, will the other 2 is mascara wands.. Something I bought by mistake... I thought it is mascara.... =_=" blur me.. When I bought it, my intention was to give 1 to my friend and keep 1 for myself... What should I do now??
Dear Darling Nails #31 + #35
Very pretty!! Like these 2 colours alot!! And the bottles are really pretty too! Going to wear #35 for my D&D!! Think later I'll try #31 on my toes! Or #35 as nail color, french tip with #31?? Will it show up?? If I'm feeling adventurous later, I might try...
66 Big Eye Liner Maker
My first liquid eyeliner.. Bought with the intention to use during D&D.. Have to start practicing now!! Hope I don't make a muck out of it!
55 Baby Lip Project
When I first saw this, I thought it was an interesting product, I was also on the prowl for a lip exfoliating product.
You are supposed to use the squeeze tube, squeeze out the product inside, rub it on your lips, wipe off and apply the accompanying lip balm.
I think I will do a separate review with pictures.. Its a bit hard for me to explain and this post is getting very long...
Etude House Brushes
Trouble Eraser Toner + 24 Hour Powder
The Trouble Eraser 24 Hour Powder seemed similar to the Ettusais Night Protect Powder and it cost less than half the price of it. Tried it once yesterday and it seemed pretty decent... Will do another review soon...
my gifts with purchase...
Byeeee~!
