Gmarket Haul
Ooops! I bought something from Gmarket again (and again)... :x I am bad... I actually received another big box of Gmarket stuffs today!!!
Forewarn: This post contains a high number of pictures......
More earrings for me~!

I don't know why, but I really like having a variety of earrings even though I almost always wear the same ones... These earrings only cost around W1,900 to W3,900 if I don't remember wrongly.
These earrings are really really pretty! My current favourite is the ribbon ones on the bottom right corner :)
However, as much as I like the earrings, I have 2 small complains.. Firstly, this seller charges a flat W2,500 for local transportation and secondly, the ear studs given are the rubber ones, I prefer metal studs.. *Grumbles*
And then the bags....


Pretty ain't they? I prefer the second bag over the first one, as it is more roomy (really can put quite alot of things!) and the first one is REEEEALLY veeeeeeeeery HEAVY!! Even when its empty!!! *Fainted* Its like hauling along a brick or something...
What I really like is that the bags have their individual dust bags to store. So thumbs up for the seller! :)
Moving on, I bought the following because I was curious.....

I have never heard of this brand Ecorre before.... But I bought these because the models are the korean girl group KARA... (No, I am not exactly a fan of theirs).
I bought the Moisture Lipstick and eye shadow bundle set and the sheet mask is the GWP. Don't really remember how much it cost me, but they should be around W10,000 plus / minus.

I really like the box packaging! Very pretty! I heart flowers and butterflies!



The eye shadow duo comes with a sponge applicator (but it seems a to be on the flimsy and low quality side). There are a variety of shades to choose from, but I chose the boring but safe (well, at least for me) white and greyish-black combination... But the white seems to be too stark white.... -__-"" There are also other colours available but they don't seem to match my skin tone.



I had a hard time choosing the lipstick shade as there were a few shades that caught my eye! But I can only get one..
This shade is #106 which I find is a pink beige that I suppose will be quite natural on my lips. (Only suppose as I haven't try it yet).
And then.. I bought some (well, 2 to be exact) Pocket Lip Tint & Coating Gloss Set from e-glips which cost W9,900 each. I heart this seller! Very very generous with the GWP!!


The one on top is #5 Mellow-dy and the bottom is #4 Be Coming-ly (the names sounds a little funny.. hehe). Its very easy to choose the shades as there are many pictures showing the the swatches of the lip tint and gloss and pictures of the tint and gloss on the lips!
I actually wanted to get #3 Dear Darling as well but..... I must practice restraint..... O_O
See, I only bought 2 products and yet I received a truckload of GWP! That's what I call good service! Another thing I like is that the manufacture date is printed on the box!
Taa daa~!!!

There is a multi-stripe blush from Perrie Cardin, a box of cotton pads, 1 bottle of 250ml hand wash, 2 hand phone straps (which doubles up as a screen wiper) and 2 sachets of shampoo and conditioner!
The flowers and leaves motifs is really cute! Can't bare to use it as I fear the motifs will disappear!
I have bought quite a number of times from this seller and every time I get lots of GWP! And the products are pretty good too! One of my favourite is the Rose Folder Cotton which I use to remove my eye makeup. But I really hate the Quick Brush Cleanser, which I think I wrote about it previously.
I also bought fake eyelashes! I have never tried fake eyelashes before and what prompted me to get them was my colleague! I saw her with a pair of it and her eyes (which were large to begin with) were even much LARGER! I want big big big eyes too~!!!
The ones I bought are from VOV, one box (W2,900 only!) contains 2 pairs of falsies and comes with a tube of lash glue too! I think its a pretty good deal! The cheapest falsies I can think of cost $2 a pair from Daiso and no lash glue not included.



I bought #210, #207 and #203. 203 is the sparse straight type and longer in the centre, 207 is the criss-cross type, longer at the outer corners and 210 is also the criss-cross type but more sparse than 207 and is longer in the centre.
To achieve rounder eyes, use falsies which is longer in the centre and if you want to have longer eyes, then use falsies which are longer than the outer corners, that's what I learned from watching the famous taiwanese beauty show 女人我最大.
(I am getting tired..... This post is really taking a freaking long time!)
I also bought 2 pairs of black heels for work... Easy for me to match clothes.. Hehe.. Now that I think about it, I think all my work shoes are black... Lolx~!
This pair is made of felt material and has a thick heel....

And this pair is PVC and has a V-shaped heel...


Generally, I like to wear high heel shoes with thick heels. They provide better support and feel more sturdy when walking.
Some stuffs from Etude House....

Bought the Cleansing Water from the Cleansing Dream series to try. I am currently using it now and I am really loving it~! Will do a proper review another day! I also got 2 more eye shadow singles and a light cream coloured powder highlighter (however, the size is smaller than expected!!)...
Repurchased the AC Clinic Red Spot Balm as I am finishing my first tub soon. It comes with a cleansing foam from the AC Clinic series but I have not tried it yet... I usually finish one cleanser before I open a new one (that is unless the current one I am using sucks).
The GWP I got is a brush pouch, which I find very cute and good for travelling! Bought so many things but only one GWP... Stingy!! :p

Guess what's this!?!


I bought a watch~! I dropped my favourite Aldo watch and this is a cheap replacement... And it comes with a free battery! The box cost me W1,000 more. (I bought 2 more watches from this seller recently!!)


Like my Aldo watch, the clock face is round and the strap is a thin strap (fake) leather, that's where the similarities end. My Aldo is so much prettier!
Lastly, my one year supply of hair clips! This seller charges a flat local transportation fee, so to make it worth my money, I got a one year supply of hair clips... My one year supply equals to only 5 clips.. Hahahaha.. Doesn't really seem to bring down the transport charge per clip that much... -_-" Should have bought 2 years supply....
The small clips is to hold up my bangs when I wash my face and the large ones for the rest of my hair! As I always drop my hair clips, one clip (the big ones) usually lasts me 4 months max... The small ones usually lasts forever, but the current one I am using is getting dirty, so its time to change it!
At last! I have finished this post! Alomost time for bed, but I am hungry!!! >.< (I have been blogging for close to 3 hours!!!)

Gmarket - June (Part 3/3)
Phew! My last entry!! Haul from Gmarket~!! I'm loving Gmarket more and more~! (But of course there's some things I dislike too!) So many things I can buy from them!
To date I think this is my biggest haul ever! 2 big boxes!!! I think my mom almost fainted when the postman came knocking on our door! hahaha~!

Stationery....
Can you imagine that one of the boxes actually contains only stationery?! Not all are mine!! Most belongs to my colleagues who have all gone gaga over the cute stationary!
(Top box - only stationery!)
(Bottom box - stationery + others)
More stationery.....
I controlled myself and only gotten 3 stationery!
The paw post-it is so cute!! And so are the little tags! From left to right: Paw print of a dog, a cat, a tiger, a cow and a bear! Cute!!
And a clean-up box for my office desk. Fold up and you will get a very pretty and cute cardboard organiser for your desk!


Skincare and makeup items...From BRTC a facial cleanser and mist from the Botanical range... They really look pretty in the bottle. Don't really fancy the smell but it is nothing too horrible. Its for dehydrated acne skin and I find that it suits me pretty well.


Baked eye shadow from Banila Co. Pretty pretty! I have yet to use them yet! haha!
The GWPs.. A box of facial cottons, 4 sachets of BB cream.
From VOV, a blush... Very small blush... I thought is was much bigger when I saw the picture online... :( its redeeming factors are that it looks cute and its pink.. I have yet to use it yet.. (again) :p

See!! Its just a tiny bit bigger than my Canmake Loose Cheeks..
Its not exactly a pricy (it is a discounted item somemore!) but if I had known its so small, I wouldn't have bought it! But luckily it looks cute... Otherwise my heart will ache more...

Last but not the least! My best find so far! Kerasys Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner! 2 bottles of shampoo and a bottle of conditioner for 11,700 won! About $14 without shipping!
It really makes my hair very smooth and soft! I like it better than my Shiseido Tsubaski (red). The only con is the strong perfume scent. The scent does linger for a while after washing but its bearable.
My only concern now is what do I do with the extra shampoo? I only have one conditioner.. haha.. If they have packed a treatment instead of a extra shapoo then it would have been perfect!

Nth Gmarket Haul
Once again, I ordered something from Gmarket. It seems like ordering from Gmarket has became a monthly affair for me :)

- VOV Daily Fresh Face Mask in Strawberry Yogurt Collagen
- VOV Daily Fresh Face Mask in Coenzyme Q10 White
- VOV Daily Fresh Face Mask in Tomato White Collagen
- Mamonde Soothing Wash Off Pack
- Etude Bloomade Blush in #13 Berry Bloom
- Etude Bloomade Blush #4 Lavender Bloom
- Zeniswell Samples
Both the Strawberry Yogurt Collagen and Tomato White Collagen smells GREAT (I'm using the tomato one right now)!! The Strawberry one really smells like the real deal! They come in a box of ten, and I shared five from each "flavour" with my mom.
I have always wanted to try something from Mamonde, since the spokensperson is Han Ga In, one of my favourite korean actress! She's soooo cute and pretty!! So when I spotted a Mamonde mask, I immediately added it to my shopping cart. :)
I bought the Mamonde Soothing Wash Off Pack thinking that it might be a aloe vera wash off. But instead, its cucumber, well, I'm fine with that too. The smell and texture of this mask reminds me of Skin Food's Cucumber Soothing Wash Off Pack, but the Skin Food's version is much pricer! Mamonde's version is about $8 only ^_^

In my previous haul, I initially wanted to get some stuffs from Etude House, but to some reason unknown to me, the seller etudehouse was unlisted on Gmarket. Etude House products are now listed under "etudegmark" if I don't remember wrongly, correct me if I'm wrong.
So this time, I ordered............. :
- Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Mask x2
- Trouble Eraser Cleansing Gel
- Collagen Eye Patch x4
- Moistfull Eye Essence
- Bright Eye Patch (box of 5)
- Vital Firm toner + lotion sample (GWP)
- Calendar (GWP)
So far, I only used one of the Collagen Eye Patch, but unfortunately, there wasn't any visible effect, but then again, I only tried it once.
The Eye Essence comes in a nice heavy pump bottle. It looks very pretty in the bottle, a light light pink, but that's because of the colour of the glass bottle otherwise the product itself is just a plain white colour. I use it day and night before my usual eye gel. The texture is rather light and milky and easily absorbed, so there's no problem applying my eye makeup after it.
Till the next time~~~!

Gmarket haul #4
Seems like I have not updated my blog for 2 weeks already :p This post was delayed initially because I was busy and was delayed further because I was lazy and tired.
My Gmarket haul actually arrived in December (it actually reached my hands before the Adambeauty haul even though I ordered the latter earlier!)
Without further ado, here’s the pictures! Gotten alot of freebies this time round! I have yet to use most of the products, only tried a couple of the masks and a blusher.
I also ordered some Anna Sui look-alike containers/holders but I didn’t take any pictures of them.




Bought cute stars hair ties and got 2 plain hair ties as freebies. But I'm not complaining!
First haul from Lotree.... Point touch special set!

This comes as a set consisting of a lip gloss of my choice, a mascara, a loose eyeshadow and a blusher.
I got this mainly because of the blusher! The colour is so pretty!! And there's even a small brush in the small compact!


The color of the lip gloss isn't that bad either, i chose #03 which is a pretty shimmery peach with a hint of pink. I initially wanted to take a pink gloss but when I went down to John Little (Lotree is sold there) I was attracted to the peach gloss instead.
Lurve the packaging! Looks and feels expensive.. haha
Also my first venture in to Lioele..
This is the amount of things that greeted me when I opened up the box...

Can you imagine how much freebies I've gotten if I tell you that I only ordered 3 full sized products?

Pore clean & tightening pack, blackhead clear and cool sun sherbet SPF18
I've got all this as gift with purchase...... they are sooo generous...

BB Cream 10ml x1
Fresh Sun Screen SPF 45 PA++ sample x2
Blooming Shimmer Pearl Base sample x2
Pore Control Essence Mask x3
Brightening Essence Mask x6
Hisuri Aqua Balancing Skin Mist 100ml x1
1 small box of cotton pads
W3,000 voucher
A.C Control Series (consists of peeling gel, toner, lotion & care spot)x2
A.C control Peeling Gel sample x2
A.C Care Spot x1
Pore Clean & Tightening Pack sample x6
C.A.D Wrinkle Away Eye Treatment sample x1
Power Wrinkle Solution sample x1

Bought some sheet masks, blackhead patches (for nose), eye masks and blushers...
The masks are VOV sheet masks ~!
Mineral Water Soothing
Green Tea Collagen
Ice Aloe
I have tried the mineral water soothing and green tea collagen and I prefer the mineral water masks! My skin was hydrated, soft and bright!
The blushes are from Etude, got the #2 Azalea Bloom (left) and #5 Rose Bloom (left).



Isn't the packaging cute and princessey?!! They are pretty decent blushes and they come pretty cheap, only $5.00 each. I have added another 2 more on my shopping cart~!
The the cheapest item (cosmetics/skincare) I bought was the blackhead patch (for nose) which cost around $3.00 (excluding shipping) and the most expensive being the Lotree Point touch special set which cost around $35.00 (excluding shipping) but since it comes with 4 items, on a per item basis its not expensive.
The hair ties are the cheapest of the cheapest.. they cost a mere $1.15 (excluding shipping) . Don't think I can ever find such pretty and good quality hair ties here at such a price!
Overall, I am very satisfied with this around of haul! Can't wait to use the Lotree cosmetics!!!
