Meoww. #3: Gmarket.. Imma haul-ing!! 2

Okay its been a while since I blogged.. ><;; I suffer from procrastinating disease.. I really can't help it..

So this is my second haul from Gmarket. I didn't buy a lot of things for this haul but this might be the heaviest of them all, the whole package was 14kg!. Due to my busy-ness (and lazy-ness) I didn't manage to take a most of the pictures of the items I ordered, but I'll try my best to find a picture of them online :)

So I ordered these on the 28th of September 2012 and received them on the 4th of October :)

What I received:















The unboxing:



What did I buy?

So I bought a few items from Holika Holika:

-Butterfly Curling Mascara
-Jewel Light Shimmer Eyeshadows in SBE01 and SPP03
-Miracle Real Skin Finish in Combination/Oily Skin
I love this stuff! It makes my face all glowy! Although it doesn't really have much oil control properties..

A pair of black boots. (Seller)
Since I have a large feet (US10) I didn't really have much choice on Gmarket, this seller offers a larger size range than others but the boots were made in China and have chemical smell on them. They are fine really but not of good quality.

Two slingbags (Seller)

I don't really recommend this seller as the bags I ordered was of poor quality and is made in China. The bags ripped at the handles after I used it a few times.

Two shirts (Seller)

-Oversize 'Runaway' t-shirt

-A basic black shirt that is comfortable to wear, the material is thin so its perfect for Malaysian weather :)

-And 5 copies of 'Singles' magazines. (Seller)
These magazines is the reason why the package was so heavy! ><;; They weigh about 2kg each. If you're planning to order any korean magazine please check with seller about the real weight!

Meoww.. #2: Gmarket! Imma haul-ing..

This is my first haul on Gmarket. I'm so addicted to this site now it's not even funny! I've known about this site for a couple of years now but have only had the nerve to order from it since I found out it has an english counterpart. Although not all of it is in English but it is really simple to order from.

My box got crushed :(

But the items inside are still safe!

My big but relatively empty box, I guess that's why it got crushed. I read complains from other bloggers about this before so I was expecting it.

So here are the stuffs I ordered:

My orders: Isa Knox Suncream, Its Skin body whitening essence, mask and samples, SulWhaSoo balancing water and emulsion in samples, Zeal soaps and Gmarket canvas bag.

 Closer look:

 Its Skin Secret Body Solution whitening essence :

Small bottle.

It came sealed.

Take out the seal and put on sponge applicator.

Bought it here two for KRW17,000

I bought this because I'm having issues with my elbows which I just realized are really dark and that I had assumed that these were on sale, turns out it was just a twin pack with a mask as free gift. At first I thought this was a lotion but it's more like water. Will try and review it later. :)

Isa Knox Suncream SPF45 PA+++:

SPF45 PA+++ Sunblock

Can you see the tint?

Blends well.

Bought it here for KRW9,900

I was browsing and noticed this was on sale on Gmarket two tubes of 50ml for KRW9,900! My sunblock is about to finish and I just grabbed it. It's a tinted but has very little coverage so it's okay.

SulWhaSoo balancing water and balancing emulsion samples:

Some of the bottles weren't screwed on tight so it leaked out.

Bought my samples here, but I don't recommend this store. 

You can find these sample in tons of other stores just search 설화수.

These are definitely cheaper than the ones I got from Qoo10.my. But it leaked so I am a little dissatisfied but  I will probably get them from Gmarket again since the price difference is comparable.

Gmarket canvas bag:

Free bag?

Got this as there was an on-going event for September, Gmarket is giving them out for free. Well you are supposed to buy it first and they will credit the amount you paid into your Gaccount. I'll update more when that happens.

There are positive and negative to my first experience on Gmarket, but so far I'm quite satisfied with my purchases. My only complain was that Gmarket will cancel orders that doesn't get to the warehouse in time without consulting you. I've had an order that was supposed to be combined with this one getting cancelled just before they ship it out, that upset me a little as I had to pay a higher shipping price per item. Oh well, live and learn.

Meoww... #1: a-DHA White Series; a Review

Hello!

So my first review is my current basic skin care: a-DHA White Series. I decided to try it out since my face was pretty dull and my skin tone was uneven. This product is from Indonesia, the set is for whitening and is pretty extensive even with its affordable price.

This set comes with six items:

The whole set + bag.

#1 The facial wash.

#1: I don't have much to say for the facial wash, it does it's job. My face feels clean and my skin doesn't feel tight after washing, so it's good.

                #2 The toner

I love this toner! It's a cleansing toner, which you have to apply on a cotton pad and swipe on your face.

It removes the leftover dirt from the washing. This toner leave my skin feeling clean every time I use it.

The Serum

This serum it good as it contains vitamin C and vitamin E, my skin absorb it really fast and 

it is not at all sticky.

The day cream

 This is the day cream, I supposed it's something like a sunblock? But it doesn't say how much SPF it contains, so I still apply my sunblock after this. It also absorb into my skin well and doesn't leave it feel greasy. 

Night cream

This night cream is okay I guess, I don't really like it. It smells funny as it contains sulfur 

in it but this is the whitening cream of this set. 

The milk cleanser 

I don't use this cleanser as I think I'm allergic to it. The first time I use this my skin got 

itchy and I got a red bump on my face. So I stopped using this and 

no more itchy red bumps. I think it's because I have oily skin 

and milk cleansers just give my skin the moisture it doesn't need.

So I've been using this skin care products for two months now, and I've received a lot of complements on how fair I look now days and how much my skin has just improved! 

I'm not sure where to get this set here in Malaysia but I bought mine from Indonesia for RM100. 

There are online sellers of this brand of skin care but they are selling a 

cheaper set with only 4 items, not the whitening range.

Love,

TheCatLady.
