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.

Gmarket haul 10

Belated Gmarket haul................ received nearing end of August............


Here we go. As usual, the EMS Korea Post cardboard box:

First off, i needed sheet masks, so i bought plenty.
Leaders - collagen wrinkle masks with 30% hydrolyzed collagen. Each box contains 4 pieces, so i had 8 pieces of these sheet masks in total.

Then i went to test out IOPE's whitegen clear mask. I bought 5 pieces of these in total, and had a free gift - beauty friends mask sheet.

So in total i had 8+5+1 = 14 pieces of mask sheets altogether. All spread in below, my entire mask sheet haul for the day:

I also bought some items for body> hair care, body care.

Hair care: Ryeo brand for hair loss - shampoo (left) and scalp care (right). These two i bought as a set. The scalp care is supposed to be used once a week for deep cleansing of oily scalp. The shampoo is anti-hairloss for oily scalp. Both smell very "herbal-ly" and i'm liking the strong herbal smell. It makes me feel like i'm using a lot of good nourishing herbs....

I also bought Happy Bath's rose essence bath cream. 900 ml large bottle, and states 90% natural ingredients. The cream is pink in colour and it smells heavenly. After a shower, i would smell of roses and my clothes would also smell of the roses!! Pretty strongly fragrant i would say but this strong scent does not bug me. In fact, i'm loving how it clothes my skin and shirts with the strong rose scent.

I like sidmool. So here's more from sidmool. This time i got a vitamin C serum. It claims to have 20% vitamin C with gold flakes and CoQ10 for anti-aging.

The full name is: Gold lift Mela Bye SVC20. Vitamin C serum is for whitening and this one has gold and CoQ10 to combat aging and impart skin with a glow!!

It comes in a brown bottle with a dropper for convenient use. The serum is gold in colour as can be seen below:

the serum is transparent gold and, i must mention this, it's pretty sticky! definitely not for those with oily skin.

More sample skin care: Ohui cell power no. 1 essence, history of whoo ginseng ampoule oil, History of whoo hwanyu essence, Hera Retinol LX.

Also bought sooryehan's pure whitening spot treatment to treat those nasty pigmentation spots! This is a 7ml tub. I like the texture!

It's an opaque white cream and to my surprise, it spreads so easily and leaves a nice a cooling minty feel on the skin. Unlike Whoo's whitening intensive which is a very thick paste balm that i find hard to spread and it somewhat clogged my pores.
I'm not sure of the efficacy of this though. I sure hope it works well as i'm loving the feel of it on my skin as compared to Whoo's.

Close up shot on Hwanyu Essence: 0.6ml in each small dish. Very little and oh-so-expensive. I'm just trying it out. It's way too expensive to upkeep. Not to mention very difficult to use in the dishes it comes in. Once opened, u can't close up the dish and the essence dries up and becomes hard to melt down. Very messy too.

Whoo's ginseng ampoule oil. Argh, the opening on the bottle was so huge i poured out a lot on my first usage and wasted so much! Very poor packaging.
First impression: not for me! it gave my skin redness and itchiness! i stopped using after the first trial.

Closer look at Hera's Retinol LX and Ohui's cell power no. 1 essence. I bought sample packs of them.

Texture of Hera's Retinol: It's a cream-like yellow paste. It spreads easily too.

Ohui's cell power no.1 essence: Very watery pinkish tint liquid. With the sachets, it gets messy as you try to control the amount poured out. Better off getting the bottled samples instead as it can be a waste each time pouring from the sachets. I must say, this is very very good stuff. It hydrates superbly. You can feel the immediate relief from dehydration upon the liquid touching your skin. Plumps up the skin nicely too. Love this!

Bought a Navy Blue tee for casual wear. The material is not very good. It feels hot and stuffy while wearing this tee. I thought it was the weather at first. then i started perspiring ........which felt strange because i was in a cool room with no sun. I quickly changed into my own cotton tee and wow, i feel my body could breathe. It was definitely the Gmarket Tee shirt making me feel so stuffy and sweaty inside. Not good at all.
