(A Forgotten) Gmarket Haul
I have totally forgotten about the photos of my Gmarket haul I took during November last year!!
Not sure if you can tell by just looking at the pictures, this box from Gmarket is humongous! Its the largest box I have received to date!!!
I bought a baked eye shadow single and facial blotter from Banila Co and got a box of cotton and four sachets of BB cream as GWP. The shade I got for the eye shadow is #14 Silhouette.
From Etude House, I got four packets of Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Foot Masks and a Petite Darling Eyes (Matte) #1 (eye shadow single). The GWPs includes a handphone charm, four skincare items in travel size packed in a plastic zip pouch.
The Petite Darling Eyes (Matte) #1 is and has been my number one hot favorite as a all over colour for my eyes. I like to use it right under my brow as highlight especially if I have shimmery colours on my eyelids. I usually like to have a mix of shimmers and mattes textures for my eyes, otherwise the whole eye look overload with shimmers and this doesn't make the cut for me.
The Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Foot Mask comes with a pair of loose cotton-y socks soaked with moisturising essence on one side and on the separate side, it comes with a pair of plastic socks and 2 sticky tapes.
First, put on the wet cotton-y soaked with all the goodness then wear the plastic socks over it and finally use the sticky tapes provided to secure the foot mask (I gather all the excess material at the ankles and tape it down) and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes.
I bought some stationary and stickers as well, but only the stationery photo turned out well..
Its a bread & egg sticky notes! As of now, I have quite a collection of cute and/or quirky sticky notes and memo pads on my office desk to choose from! There's also a few packets of stickers that I keep in my office drawer to decorate my office calendar!!
I also bought lots of Hello Kitty stuffs~~!!! Prepare for overload of pinky-ness!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
A Hello Kitty dish sponge!! As a matter of fact, I bought three of these! One for me, one for my mom and mom for my BF's mom!
Hello Kitty back cushion for my office chair! Its slightly expensive, but it is very comfortable!
And lastly, a Hello Kitty mug with lid!!

I was looking high and low for a mug with lid, however, the ones I found were too small, and if the size is right, it doesn't come with a lid -_-" so when I saw this HK mug, I was like "OMG! I gotta have it!!".
I am very happy with the mug but the mug had a slightly flaw... See that stain on the lid near the handle? No matter how much I scrub, it doesn't come off... But now, I just can't be bothered!

What I've "Consumed"
In the past few years, I have been told on many occasions that the amount of skincare and makeup items I own are more than enough for 10 faces to last them for the next 10 years. Well, even though I might agree with them, but my ardor for skincare and makeup makes me want to possess the items that catches my fancy (as long as they are within budget).
My (sort of) new year's resolution for 2010 is to use up as many of the stuffs I own before getting new ones. The reasons behind this resolution are aplenty, one of which being my storage space is running out.
I really deserve a pat on my back for using up not one but FOUR products! *Woohoo~~*
- Liese Juicy Shower
- Liese Styling Water for hair dryer
- BEAUTYMAKER Skin Repair Wakening Gel
- RMK Skin Protector SPF31
Just a quick review on the items...
Liese Juicy Shower is in short a moisturising hair mist that helps to moisturise hair and smooths out frizziness. I find it not moisturising enough for my hair, but it makes up with the nice raspberry scent, however the scent does not linger very long. I usually on my dry hair to tame any fly aways before I head out. Don't think I will repurchase as I still have other hair mist in the storage.
Liese Styling Water is currently my favourite hair product! Its a styling aid that helps protect hair from the hair dryer's heat. It also claims to reduce frizziness. It really helps to cut down the time I blow dry my hair and my hair is really very smooth and frizz-free (well at least for a couple of hours). I already have a backup of this :)
I use the BEAUTYMAKER Skin Repair Wakening Gel as a sleeping mask and if I remember correctly it can also be used as a massage gel. I use it only lazy days, after toner and acne cream. It works fine too! Hehe~ (It is supposed to be applied as the last step of your skincare routine). I wake up with softer and hydrated skin the next morning. Not going to repurchase this as the Etude House sleeping mask also have the same effect on my skin and its much cheaper!
Lastly, RMK Skin Protector which I received as a GWP. It is a very lightweight sun screen and the stickiness goes away in like 30 seconds and I can apply my makeup almost immediately. It do not have the typical heavy sun screen smell and it does not break me out. Will I purchase it?! Definitely! I already did so!!
There are quite a number of items that I am going to use up very very soon! (Items listed below are retail size unless mentioned)
- MA CHERIE End Cure Milk
- Liese Hair Cocktail
- Stila Petal Infusions Retexturizing Scrub
- H2O+ Ice Water Cooling Mint Body Mud (60 ml)

I just realised that my list does not include any makeup items!! x_x

Collective Haul
I bought quite a number of things in 2008, especially during the month of December but didn't have a chance to blog about them before 2008 ended. So I decided to do some spring cleaning and get these blog over and done with before the Chinese New Year (which is in 2 days time!!)
I have been lemming hard for this eyeshadow palette from Chanel (Les 4 Ombres #16 Murano)ever since I saw it in Biteki January 2010 issue. I just HAVE to get it (even though it is over my budget)!
Taaadaaaa~ My first ever item from Chanel!
The velvet pouch feels so luxurious.

I swatched the quad at the counter and they are really really beautiful! I actually wanted to get #14 as well but it was OOS (lucky for my purse!)
Don't you think the sponge applicators look cheap and crappy? Hope they can improve the applicators in the future! I think the applicators in the Coffert D'or and Lunasol palettes are so much better!
I asked the SA for some sunblock samples, but there wasn't any, so she gave me a Inimitable mascara and a Hydramax + Active sample : D
I also got some Scheming Beauty Eye Masks, Crystal Whitening Brightening and Crystal Hydrating.
I have tried them a few times and luckily there are no negative skin reactions. Any significate whitening/brightening/hydration to my eye area? I can't tell >.<
And finally, I have to say that I am really proud of myself! I have not ordered anything from Gmarket (yet) and until today, I only bought for myself an Urban Decay eyeliner (a girl needs to have some sort of retail therapy!)! All I have to do is to keep up this record for another 16 days!
