G-market haul #3

I placed orders to G-market through out when I was not at home, sometimes to get my mum's skincare and also my sister's Kpop CDs (that is also when I sneaked in to placed some orders of my items, well, well, to make the hefty shipping worth it)

I will be separating my G-market haul post according to batches. 

This haul is a birthday haul. It is fairly larger than most of my other Gmarket hauls. 

I got tons of skincare samples from high-end Korean brands, blushers, lip balms and primers.

First, I got two blushers from an unknown Korean brand to me, Tears.

It was on offer and I thought there's no harm to grab it and give it a go. 

The colours I got are PK01 and PK04. 

PK01 is a light baby pink.

PK04 doesn't look pink at all, I do not know why it has PK at its name. It is more of a brown tone orange. 

It opens side ways, took me awhile to realize that.

VOV Lipbalms. They are too cute to resist. 

Not to mention they are really affordable themselves.

Banila co. Primer Primer in Hydrating Shimmer

I heard many rave reviews on this primer so I just got one to try out. 

Actually, I wanted the hydrating version at first but it was out of stock, so I settled with the hydrating shimmer version. 

Chosungah Raw Dayshu Real Skin Fixer.

This is the most expensive item I got in this haul.

Chosungah is a skincare brand started by a Korean Makeup Artist - Cho Seong Ah.

This cream is like those of korean volumers and skinbase that provides the korean actress luminous face glow to the skin and It is a 'hit' in Korea. 

I read a review from Hope-in-a-blog, and from then, I just knew I had to get it. 

I am a fan of the luminous skin look because it 'cheats' flawless skin. When you face glows, it somehow takes away the attention from your skin imperfections.

If this is too expensive for you but you want to try something like this cream,there is some road-shop brand that have a dupe for this cream.

The one I know is Holika Holika Miracle Real Skin Finish. 

I got my cream from this seller. 

Next, I got skincare samples from Korean high-end brands like Sulwhasoo, History of Whoo and Su:m 37

Sulwhasoo Essential Firming Cream

Each sample has 5ml worth of product and they come in 22 pieces of samples. 

Su:m 37 Air Rising Dazzling Base. 

Each tube contains 17ml, there two tubes in each set of the sample, so that makes 34ml. That's close to a full size product at 40ml. 

History of Whoo Whitening Essence.

History of Whoo Secret Court Cream

There are two more items which I totally forgot to include in the 'group' haul picture.

Aritaum Mono Eyes. 

They are very soft so they crumbled during the transit. I need to go out to get rubbing alcohol to press them back. 

The colour I got is no 41. Swiss Veil and no. 43 Athens

Can't read Korean so I don't know the name.

The Aritaum eyeshadows are a big 'hit' in Korea due to their affordable price and great texture and pigmentation.

First Gmarket Haul

I have an exciting news! Parcel arrived today and yes! now all my G-market items are with me.

At first, Gmarket was kinda hard to navigate because I don't understand Hangeul. After playing around with the site, it's easy to get the hang of it but you have extra good mix and match ability.

From the 1st store, I got mostly samples.

I bought them from this seller over here. 

I got samples for History of Whoo Soo Yeon Essence, Hera Moist HD Foundation and Mamodo Total Solution BB.

The samples.

I have always been really excited to try out History of Whoo's products because they have really good reviews in the Korean beauty community.

Hera's foundation is because of Hoversjelly recommendation and she mentioned it was one of her HG foundation. I trust most of her opinions. 

Mamonde Total Solution BB. The samples are huge! They are 30ml each and it is two bottles of samples each purchase, that's a whopping 60ml! 

That is as good as a full size gets and the price is such a bargain.

The seller is really fast. I ordered it at night, the next day, it is already on delivery to warehouse.

And I also got a small gift from the seller.

Two IOPE samples.

The mask from the samples, you can choose which mask you want from each samples.

The next seller is Mizon. 

Mizon is known for their budget skincare and cosmetics at a great , affordable price. 

Snail products have been a craze in Korea. I have thought of trying some snail products but some are just too pricey for me to try out because if I don't like it, it is gonna be a total waste of money. Then I found out Mizon and the price of their snail cream is affordable.

You can get it here. 

This the Snail BB. The most affordable amongst all I've seen on Gmarket. 

I have been very eager to try out a snail BB since I saw it in my local it's skin store but because it is not that cheap, I didn't get it on the spot. 

You can get it here

The last two items.

VOV foundation in 21 and PeriPera's Peri's Tint Water in 01 Cherry Juice and 02 Pink Juice

This is how the packagings look like.

The PeriPera water tint is totally adorable! The artwork on the box and lid is by Mari Kim.

Lately, I am really into lip tints because they are so easy to use and you don't really need to touch them up after eating or drinking.
The only downside is they can be drying but a lipbalm or gloss can always solve that.

The VOV foundation. I bought the wrong one. I wanted the watershot foundation, I checked back my selection on my overseas order and yes, I chose the wrong selection, so now I am stuck with the normal foundation but doesn't harm, I still can use it, just that, such a bummer!

The VOV foundation is bought here from this seller and PeriPera Liptint here. 

I am really satisfied with my first Gmarket haul. Their service was really good and everything got post out fast for this batch.
The parcel arrived my house in 2 days from S.Korea to Malaysia. It better be, because I paid a hefty price for EMS, almost USD20.
It is better to buy more or share with friends for shipping.

I bought 2 pieces of jumpers which I am going to continue in the next few posts.
