Gmarket haul 15

I had a mini Gmarket Haul this week..............................after such a long long break.

Wanted to try the Sum37 Flawless Regenerating Line. It's the new luxury line from Sum37 launched in Aug 2012.
Gmarket had stopped all previous sample sales a few months ago, so samples were nowhere to be found. But they came back out a little while ago and so I went on a small spree.


Here's my mini haul:

Came in a smallish cardboard box. No dents this time. Gmarket seemed to have improved their cardboard boxes quality.



What's in the loot?
Hehe, couldn't resist some of the newly launched stuff like Sulwhasoo's Innerise complete serum.

Innerise corrects the skin's natural density, preventing ageing by beginning at its source. The anti-aging line will keep you looking young and refreshed. Notice small wrinkles on your face? Innerise line will rejuvenate your face (taken from sulwhasoo's website).
So are you intrigued  by the newly launched innerise serum?






Sulwhasoo's concentrated ginseng cream:

Small 5ml bottles and 2 sachets. Creamy and rich smell of ginseng... for my sister.







Restocked some Qi & Jin Eye cream:

Pretty heavy stuff. Best used at night. Sis likes the creamy heaviness of it and the strong herbal smell. It does have a pretty heavy herbal scent.





Sulwhasoo's Rejuvenating Eye cream from their basic line:

From the website:
"This age-defying eye cream revitalizes the delicate skin around the eyes, smoothing lines, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness with a potent blend of Korean medicinal herbs. Hydrating and smoothing, this anti-aging treatment restores radiance and vitality to the eye area. Green tea, pomegranate, and six-year-old Korean red ginseng fight free radical damage to prevent signs of age."





Sample packs of Sulwhasoo's infamous First Care Serum:

This is a must have on every korean woman's beauty table.
"Formulated to replenish essential moisture and nutrients and to boost the effect of every subsequent treatment. Milk-vetch, licorice, and dwarf lilyturf work synergistically to optimize the Korean herbal ingredients in the complete collection while deeply hydrating."
This serum has been reported to work wonders for any skin type and can be paired with any line/brand of skin care. It helps to regulate the skin to receive and absorb the rest of the skin care and that is why it is the first thing you put on after cleansing, even before your trusted toners.





Sum37 Flawless Regenerating Cream

Sum37 Flawless Regenerating Eye cream

Sum37 Flawless Regenerating Essence

The Flawless Regenerating Line is Sum37's new luxury line for anti aging launched in August this year. And it is the main reason why I had this haul. I am entering into the era where i am in desperate need for anti aging products.
The Flawless Regenerating line uses a special V.O complex which focuses on microbial fermentation of 5 beneficial microorganisms/bacteria which have been cultivated/fermented especially for the range of products. The line boasts skin improvement on tightening, clarity and transparency thereby promoting flawless skin with zero defects! The line aims to provide nutrition for the skin and improve moisturising capabilities.

The big regret, I was not able to get the accompanying toner and emulsion, which would have completed the set and satisfied my longing. I feel only half full .



Samples and freebies that came along with the mini haul:
Hera Homme multi BB................... for the boys

Wet tissue:

Snail sheet masks:

Sooryehan's Hyo Fermented cream sachets:

That's all for today, and i'll update on the Flawless Regenerating Line a few weeks down the road to see if it's any good on me.
I tested some the minute the haul arrived, and it seemed to be quite good, especially the cream. It is rich.

Remind me to update if I forget ;)

Gmarket haul 14

The Box:

Bought some make up stuff from Blooming Ocean:

Blooming Ocean Multi Powder Pact:
Their brand of compact powder with spf50PA+++. Comes in a blue container complete with puff and an extra as well.
Shade #2 i chose and even this was very fair.

Blooming Ocean shimmering booster base, spf 34PA++

shimmers, moisturize and boosts the look of dullness. With 100% alaska glacial waters.
It also contains anti wrinkle and whitening ingredients.





Blooming Ocean Mild sun Milk SPF29PA++

This is a non-chemical sunscreen with 100% alaska glacial waters and again with anti wrinkle and whitening properties. I bought this looking at the description. Since i have sensitive skin, a mild and non-chemical sunscreen would be good.





Blooming Ocean Cashmere Touch bb cream spf27Pa++
comes in 2 shades , 1 and 2. I got No.2 which was still very fair.

Very soft and light touch bb cream with 100% alaska glacial waters with anti-wrinkle and whitening properties.



Flower Eglips lipstick in #25.

This is a very pretty orangey tinted red lipstick and its perfect for the Korean bare lip look! Just dab some on the centre of the lips, slightly blend out and your lips will look so naturally strawberry-kissed!
However, this lipstick has glitter in it.





Some full sized free gifts from the seller.

Blooming Ocean Matifying Sun Primer SPF34PA++ in two Shades No.1 and 2, full cover blendable BB cream spf37PA++ in no. 1, Honeyed lip gloss in ivory.
Note: The matifying sun primer is an oil control sun cream, the Full cover BB cream has glitter in it and the shade given is very fair (not for me). The honeyed lip gloss is also full of glitter, it's pretty good as a free gift.




Konjac Sponges for general cleaning. I use it on my face and it can be used on the body as well.

Terra.P Lifting Solution Firming Up Mask, wash off type.

It's a gooey texture like liquid gum. Milky white in colour.

It comes with a spatula for scooping out the mask. This stuff is pretty good. It does give the face a "lifted" and "firmed" feel and it hydrates pretty well. Overall, am happy with this mask. The only complaint is the texture. Messy to handle as it's like honey, which leaves hands, spatula and tub with a sticky gooey mess.



The Saem Chaga Fermentation Liposome 100 Serum:

Formulated with fermented mushroom extract (chaga) as the base, this serum boasts excellent antioxidant power! This is the full size serum and it comes in this heavy pump dispenser bottle 80ml.




The Saem Dr. Beauty Cell Repair special set.
Comes with Cell repair cream and a tube of eye cream.

A large tub with gold cap. 50ml.

The texture of the cream is like heavy creamy yellow coloured butter. It does leave the skin slightly greasier than normal. I would not recommend this to oily skin types. The scent is also heavily fragrant.



The eye cream, with EFG and snail complex. 20ml tube.

This has the exact some heavy fragrance as the cream, same yellowish colour, but the texture is much less heavy and easier to spread and absorb.



Free make up zipper bag from The Saem.

With some little samples sized freebies in it:

Nature Republic Hibiscus 3D firming tox essence:

Comes in a pretty purple bottle.

Ohui's intensive sunblock cake spf50.
I bought a sample size to try.

A white balm as seen in the pic below:

 Overall, this cake is pretty good. Does not aggravate my sensitive skin and impart a "whitening" effect to the skin without being too cakey and downright white. Nice.



DHC stuff: Platinum silver Nanocolloid cream, lotion and essence in sample packs.

20 packs of Coenzyme Q10 natural essence mask sheets.
In my opinion, after using a number of korean mask sheets (even the free ones from sellers), this is the worst of the lot. For me, it deserves to be in the trash can.

This mask irritates my skin and leaves it bumpy and itchy! And i'm stuck with 20 of these!



VOV's Daily Fresh wash off pack:

I bought the wrong ones, as i thought these were sheet masks. I was so surprised to open one and gooey stuff comes out. Oh dear, i much prefer sheet masks in such packaging than wash off masks. It's difficult to store the unused portion for the next usage.
