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.

Love,

  2. It's relatively easy to order from gmarket, you can check shipping fees according to estimated weight. You can also ask the seller about the real weight if you are in doubt, gmarket sellers are mostly attentive and will help. Good luck!
