Gmarket haul 13

Time for another haul?
haha, too many hauls. Maybe it's coming year end and the festive mood is around the corner.
Aaargh, i'm actually lagging in posting up my hauls............i have been very busy and keep delaying my haul posts. So this haul is not as current/recent as it should be, probably two weeks or even more in backlog.


EMs box, one sturdy one this time, no crushes visible.

Always excited when a box like this arrives, like a child all tingly and happy opening a surprise present!


What's inside? Oh, a whole load of stuff and more~~
I decided to plunge into Ohui for the time being and got their The First series. Have seen plenty of good reviews on this range and am tempted to try it out too. Got some samples from the range.

The First cell revolution eye cream, sachets:

The First cell revolution essence:

The First Cell revolution night serum:

The First Cell Revolution Cream:

The cream is rather thick with a yellow tint to it:

I find the First series a rather thick consistency. The eye cream and cream feels the same; both are thick and a little difficult to spread. Even the essence is of the same consistency. The only one that feels different is the night serum. The night serum is like a liquid serum with a slightly brown tint. This one is much easier to spread and feels good on skin, very moisturising. Nice.


Some samples from the seller:

More from History of Whoo:
This time it is the History of whoo Hwa Hyun set. I am in love with the Hwanyu series however, it is beyond my scope to maintain in my skin care. It is expensive and difficult to obtain. So i'm trying out the Hwa Hyun series to see if it can sort of "replace" the prestigious Hwanyu series.

3 piece inside: 8ml essence, 10ml eye cream, and 10ml face cream. Aren't the bottles a joy to behold? They look so elegant and beautiful.

The Hwa hyun Cream: Thick in consistency almost like a paste.

The Hwa hyun eye cream: wow, can you see the glitters in this?? it looks exotic.

The Hwa Hyun Essence: easy to spread and highly moisturising.

It comes with a little envelope-like booklet :

With english description for each item in the range.

Instructions on product usage:

Ohui's quite recent launch: Black serum.

"Every moment of every day our skin cells are attacked by excessive free radicals produced in out skin by various environmental irritants such as UV light, air pollution, stress etc. Ohui black serum eliminates such harmful free radicals , prevents damage to skin cells and actively heads off the skin-aging process."

Sounds very promising indeed! will give this a go once i'm done with the cell power no. 1 essence.

The colour of this is black! it's a black serum.



Re:nk stuff!!

First off, the UV perfect daily suncream spf 35pa+

A white suncream. Unfortunately it caused a reaction on my sensitive skin so alas, this doesn't work for me.

Silky fit essential bb cream spf 30 Pa++. such a small tube.

The swatch. Looks light but once blended in you can't detect anything! it's too sheer. A no-no for me.

Re:nk's star cell luminous real white serum:

White serum, easy to spread and moisturises well. Not bad.

Re:nk's wrinkle time lab line:
Time lab wrinkle energy eye revitalizer

Time lab wrinkle energy cream:

Time lab wrinkle energy serum.

Re:nk cell luminous spot corrector.

It's weird that the spot corrector feels and looks exactly the same as the luminous serum. It's so similar i cannot tell difference once poured into the hand. I wonder if a mistake has been made and the spot corrector is actually the luminous serum wrongly packed in the spot corrector packaging ??

Some samples given by the seller:

also bought some of IOPE's hydro intensive mask sheets.

Have you tried Re:nk? what are your thoughts on this line?

Gmarket haul 12

Gmarket haul 12~~!! tadah.....
i had so much i wanted to purchase but i could not purchase them all.
**Please note that i got this haul almost at the same time as haul 11 .


Gmarket EMS box, crushed down again! Such soft board material.

From coreana , eco36.9 nokdu pure mask, 5 sheets. I've used this before and found it quite good for me. It has a neck area mask sheet too.

These masks are not for those with oily skin/combi-oily skin types. It is highly sticky but i find it very moisturising, great for my dehydrated skin. Skin feels more plumped and lubricated after each use. Not bad.
However, the manufacturing date on these seem to backdate till 2009!!! i wonder if i've been scammed!
but when i opened one sheet of mask to use, it feels fine, looks fine, smells fine, and works fine too! so i'll quickly get these 5 sheets over and done with.




I got some su:m 37 wrinkle correctors, a large bunch of 'em.

The texture is very very creamy . Colour is yellowish like retinol creams. I tried to search for active ingredients, but found none. So i wonder is this has retinol in it.

This one is not for oily skin types. It is very creamy in texture! it even feels a little on the heavy side and leaves a greasy look. So only for dry and normal skin types.




More from sooryehan. The bichaek pure whitening essence:

A pearly white serum :

Feels pretty on my skin. No adverse irritation of drying out of skin. i'm liking it. Let's see if this works like whoo's jinaek program...........




History of whoo's Hwanyugo. 2 pretty gold embossed boxes. they have this look of stature and luxury........ aren't they pretty?

Texture is as expected, highly luxurious!

Samples from the seller, actually, i got them mixed up so i'm not sure which seller these came from.

This seller had a cute sense when sending samples. She stapled one ohui sunscience sunblock on a piece of pink paper. The sad thing is i did not understand the writing on it at all.

Sooryehan's Soo's chunsam sanghwang set:

Very pretty packaging, and makes me feel all high-classed. The essence, eye cream and face cream.

Manufacturing date of 2011 may, that's great! very recently manufactured.

This is a view on the essence, both pic taken at different times of the day with different amounts pumped out:
1. day time small amount pumped out.

 2. night time larger amount pumped out:

The colour of the essence is yellow with a cream texture. The texture is very very rich and it even proved a little too rich for my dehydrated skin type. I could not use the serum and the cream together. The serum is more like a cream for me so i can entirely skip the face cream.
The face cream is very rich too. I find it too rich for me. Perhaps this line is more for those in their 40s and above.


Here's the chunsam sanghwang cream. Looks like a paste and is yellow beige in colour. This one must be melted in your palm or between your fingers before you can apply it. If not you'll look like a grease ball in no time.

A box of collagen hydrogel eye patches. comes in a set of 5.

This doesn't work very well. Will not repurchase.




Stuff from Re:nk. I've just tried these and have now fallen in love with re:nk!! i'm definitely gonna get more re:nk products to try, the texture and absorbality is great.

Their Face up lifting line. The serum in samples of 5ml tubes.

Texture is a transparent serum, easy to spread, quite light and its absorb-ability is good.

Re:nk's face up lifting cream in 3 tubes of 5ml.

The texture of the cream is light and easily absorbed. Very nice cream. Feels good on the face. It's light weight and more for my less dehydrated days.

20ml sized Re:nk time lab softerner. The toner from the time lab series. Very good texture and provides ample moisturisation, perfect for my dehydrated skin. It's almost like the hadalabo toner where the texture is thicker than normal toners and not as liquid. It takes awhile to be absorbed thought. and the fragrance is a little strong. I did not like the smell of it.

From sidmool: another bottle of their Gold Lift Mela Bye SVC 20.
It's a vitamin C serum with gold powder in it.

you can see the gold powder in the dropper:

20% Vitamin C serum with gold and CoQ10 added. This is not for oily skin as the texture can be sticky. But i find it pretty good as it makes skin bouncier.





Sidmool is very generous with samples and i got a whole lot of it. The bad thing is that their samples are written only in Korean so i have a hard time trying to know what is what.

 sidmool Mask sheets, 5 of them from sidmool, all free.

A whole load of other sidmool samples and even a full sized tube of product , all Free! So very generous of them.

The full sized tube is a water gel: Nano platinum mineral water/aloe. For all skin types . 100ml

Nicely sealed for hygiene purposes:

Texture is a clear gel, like aloevera gel.

These samples are from a different seller, i think the one from Re:nk. Again, i have no idea what these are as the packages have no english for me to decipher the contents.

This one is a sample from the sooryehan seller. Camellia body cleanser.

Well that's all for now.............. til the next time of gmarket hauls........toodles.
