Gmarket Haul #3

Okay finally I get around to write another review about our next Gmarket Haul. We have ordered more times but somehow I do not get around to update. What ever. Since we won blogger of the month last month we just decided to try again for may and since may is nearly over I finally forced myself to sit down and write this. This is the first time we used our Gcash to order the things in this order. And all we did order were products form Holika Holika because they were having a sale. But without me talking further I will start showing you the pictures and write about everything individually.

 Photobucket

Since we did only order from [Holika Holika] which is advertised by CN Blue we did put their bassist Lee Jungshin, who is also my bias actually, as the sender.


Photobucket Photobucket

So we did get this smaller Holika Holika package in a big Gmarket package but didn't bother the photograph it. Ah I think the design is SO cute isn't it? And yes the package was stuffed but that made it just more perfect.

Photobucket

This is everything we did order pulled out from the package and arranged.

Photobucket
Garden Cleansing Foam Green Tea / Lemon
Starting with the not so exciting things we bought. These are two face cleansers one smelling like green tea the other like lemon and I love them both. The green tea one is in our shower right at the moment and I love the feeling you have after using it. They are also quite cheap so you should give them a second look. Oh and this does not get foamy it is like creme and you apply it to your face, no real foam involved I don't know why they call it like that.

Photobucket
Cover Hiding Stick Concealer
So I really do need good concealer because I tend to get dark circles. I got that one because it was cheap and looked okay but not really thinking I would fall in love with it as much as I did by now. This thing smells lovely and it also does it's work so good. The only thing that is bad is that since it's like a pencil I actually managed to break the concealer but it's okay i just have to look out that it doesn't fall out of the container XD

Photobucket
Petite BB Cream (Sorry they seem to be sold out?)
Again because these are really cheap and cute we did but three of these two colours do work really well for us one is too dark. If someone wants a proper review we will gladly make one! But we are really happy with them because they smell really nice but well they are small as their name suggests.

 Photobucket
Magic Pole Mascara
With this the actual highlights of our order start. This mascara is just love. It makes such pretty lashes that you can't do nothing against falling in love with it. It just makes the prettiest finish of a nice eyemakeup.

 Photobucket
Aqua Splash Toner
So let me be honest. I can not review this product because most of the time I forget to use it. And I have to confess something even worse. I just bought it for the packaging. Ahah. So yes but I like the cool feeling it leaves on the skin after using it.

Photobucket
Mid Night Owl Highlighter
This is the actual reason this whole buy happened. This is so pretty, smells fantastic and is just perfect. But also hella expensive. So when I saw that Holika Holika did have their sale I called Lyza immediately and we decided to order there for the first time. And we are so happy the midnight owl comes in two colour ways one as highlighter one as blush and Lyza decided to get herself the highlighter.

Photobucket Photobucket
The best part about that whole order was that we did also get so many freebies! I did not expect that because we were this disappointed by Etude house before. But this is just perfect. To list what we got: a box with cotton pads, two make up starters, black kaviar recovery skin and emulsion, one perfume tim, luminous skin starter and one gel eyeliner in orange.

So this is our haul. Uhm if you want to have a review of anything either here or on Youtube just talk to us. Of course we did record a video which you can watch here.



That's it. We do hope you will all have a great weekend and lots of fun!


Love,

Gmarket Haul #2

Okay finally getting around to write about our second Gmarket order :D This one was much smaller than the first one (instead of ordering 60 items we got 30) And a bit more rushed because we needed to order it at least three weeks before my birthday. Somehow everything was a bit hectic so we didn’t get around to try much of the stuff but I will tell you as best as I can about the stuff we ordered.

We also recorded a video, only one this time, which you can see here:



I’m not sure what else to say, less pictures this time around, if you want detailshots or anything, leave a comment, write us on facebook, comment on the video and we will gladly help you. Same goes for any questions you have concerning Gmarket, Brands or anything else. We don’t claim to know everything but we will help as best as we can :D

Okay now let’s get this started. (Also please note we don’t have any pictures of the package because Lyza got it while she was in Hamburg and because it was just, once again, SO BIG she had to unpack the big package to put everything in her traveling bag)

Cosmetics

Photobucket
Baviphat Store
This was our first time ordering at Babyphat and even though everything went okay we did not get any freebies not even Cotton Pads. But it was like that with nearly every store but I will talk about that later. So here are the things we got.

Sheet Masks 1, 2, 3
To be honest Lyza just got these because they are endorsed by FT Island, but who can judge her? Haven’t gotten around to try these so nothing to say about that. Oh but their weight was actually totally miscalculated but after we asked Gmarket to fix the weight everything was okay.

Applemint Pore Tightening Deep Cleansing Balm
I actually just bought that because it was kind of cheap and seemed nice. The consistency of this is really oily and it smells like mint gum but I also haven’t tried this yet.

Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack
I read so many good things about this sleeping pack. For the longest time I used Lyza’s Etude sleeping pack which was really nice and now I decided to get this one for myself. I haven’t used it often enough to say it does something but it smells nice.

Sweet Fruit Mini Gift Set
This gift set has one lip balm, one lip scrub and one lip tint plus three, trial sized, Lemon Whitening Sleeping Packs. I ordered Apple Liptint, Lemon Lipbalm and Apple Lipscrub and was a bit scared because I read some reviews saying they didn’t get what they ordered but everything was perfect with our order even though the Lemon Lipbalm smells more like vanilla like lemon XD. The lemon sleeping pack smells heavenly as well.

Photobucket
Etude
Sooo Etude. This did really frustrate us because they said you get a free shinee notepad, cotton pads plus a tester of some kind and the only thing we got was the shinee thing. Don’t get us wrong if they wouldn’t tell you that you get this stuff we wouldn’t demand it but if they actually promise it on their posts they just can’t not include these things.

Daily Mask Skin Essence Aloe and Hyaluronic Acid
Lyza got this one for her mom and left it in Hamburg so that’s why this isn’t on the photo, but it looks like the red one we ordered last time only in blue.

Black Head Heating Deep Clean Gel
We tried it yesterday and even though it helped smoothening our skin quite much we didn’t really feel the heating :/ Maybe we did something wrong though I will look for some reviews about this item today or tomorrow :D

Line Nuance Duo Eyeliner #3 & #5
Lyza got these but isn’t as happy as she was with the gold one she ordered. The pink is really light and the silver is more only shimmer than real silver.

Care Nails #1
This is quite oily but we both have the feeling that it’s really good for our nails.

LuciDarling Fantastic Nails Sparkling #Royal Gold
I got this for my mom and this is SO PRETTY. Seriously. On the picture it looks to be more on the copper side but this is really golden anyways the coverage is really good and oh this is so lovely!

Stationary

Photobucket
Soboro 
This time we did even get a freebie but it was just a little notepad :/ Just like I mentioned earlier they were really picky about giving freebies to us this time. But a tip for Soboro! They have most of their items in at least two identical threads so if you want one thing that is sold out on one site be sure to check the other as well! It helped with both the travel bags and the camera strap!

Tri-Color Ballpen
I’ve been wanting a multi colored pen since I saw really cute ones in france and didn’t get them :/ this one is really adorable!

Rainbow Jewelpens
Lyza got a small package of five jewelpens in Korea but really came to love them so she got herself the pack with ten pens in it this time. The pens are really awesome with a really fine tip (3.8mm) and awesome colors!

Pony Brown Memo Pad
Once again Lyza got one Memo Pad in Korea and I was so jealous of it that I just ordered the yellow one once I found it in this store :3 It has 80 sheets and even though it has a cute picture it also has plenty of space to write on. Now the only problem is I don’t want to use it up D:

Travel Organizer Bags #19p Full Package Travel Bags
Oh this is so handy and I understand why Lyza wanted to have this! It helps you keep your travel stuff coordinated and find important things first when you need them for example for the first night. I also love that some of the cotton bags say stuff like ‘it’s underwears!’ and ‘it’s shoes!’

Photobucket
Camera strap #Blooming Garden
This is one of the most expensive things Lyza got herself this time but it was so worth it! The strap is really sturdy and has anti slide stuff on the inside. Since I like to carry around Lyza’s camera on my shoulder next to my bag it is perfectly secured now and the lace is just really really pretty. This strap is also longer than the one she got originally with her camera.

Fashion

Photobucket
Paw Pullover #Grey
Ah I was so scared because I read some really good and some not so good stuff about ordering at Gmarket for clothes but this cute pullover just got me. We also thought about getting two other pullovers but I was scared one wouldn’t fit me and the other looked really seethough. But this one is perfect. It’s a bit thin so maybe you would have to layer it to keep you warm in winter but with summer coming up it is just perfect :D The only thing I can tell you over and over again is to check the size chart.

Photobucket
Removable Collar #Valley Perl White
This is way more high quality than I dared to dream about! It feels like velvet and even though it probably isn’t it is gorgeous non the less! Lyza also says it makes me look thinner! It’s also a bit on the heavy side with all the pearls but I don’t really care about that :D I think I would like to have the black one as well or another one in black :/

Photobucket
Leopard Scarf
Another item who’s quality was better than I expected! I am quite picky about scarfs so I don’t like these fluttery slightly scratchy fabrics most cheap scarfs are made of but this one is really soft to the touch, thin cotton and the print is also really gorgeous. Just it’s perfect. My mom got this for herself. The small scarf thingy is the thing we got for free :D

Photobucket
200 Lace Cover / 917 Leopard Clutch
So Lyza got the Leopard Clutch in beige from this post and it feels really good like something leatery and it is really cute the only problem is that it is quite small and looked way bigger on the photos D: So it does fit some stuff (like both our wallets) and maybe a book but nothing like a camera or something. I still think it’s pretty cute though.
My mom got herself the Lace Cover bag in red and I am so jealous! Of course for the price some of the lace looks a little … on the cheap made side but nothing that will break within normal use I think. The bag also arrived with three black spots on the front and even though we had a defective item last time and I thought I did make everything right about contacting Gmarket about this issue this time it took quite some days to finally get them moving. All I can tell you is contact them more than once if you really want to be sure they are doing something :/

Photobucket
Earrings
My mom and I also each got a pair of earrings (TA141 & TA301 are the numbers of it but don’t ask me which is which) And what should I say? I am crazily in love with them! I got the round ones while my mom got the double pearl ones :D The only thing not so good is the closing but you can just exchange it with any other earring closing you have at home so I have nothing to complain about.

K-Pop

Photobucket
Photobucket
Synnara
We really didn’t get much this time at Synnara and I have nothing important to say about them to be honest :D

B.A.P - Warrior
Ah the friend we ordered with last time wanted to get this album as well so she ordered it for herself :D I can totally understand her :3

Sunny Hill - The Grasshoppers (+ Poster)
I got the Sunny Hill album for myself becasue even though it has only three songs all of them are REALLY GREAT and you should listen to them if you haven’t already *3* It was also really cheap if I’m honest. I’m not really sure why I ordered the poster with it probably because it was only +1000₩.

F(x) - Pinoccio
This was in my shopping card faster than I could think after I found out it came with a 100 page photobooklet because I have been eyeing it for quite some time (I really love all songs except for one or two on this album) and that finally was the reason for me to get it. And I am so happy I did because the photos are just really really gorgeous a bit hipster esque but I like it like that!

Infinite - Paradise (Repackage)
Our friend also got herself the Paradise Repackage album and I can so understand that! I would get it for myself again if I hadn’t it at home. I love the song Paradise, and the hidden track, and I like the photos way more than from the actual album. I also like that it always comes with at least one poster. :D Oh and as a photocard she got Dongwoo.

Photobucket
Beast 1st Live DVD - Welcome to Beast Airline (+ Poster)
Ahh I don’t want to be so negative about this but I got this for my birthday and when I wanted to pop it into the DVD player a few days later it told me it was not readable for our region code. This means we have to either get a new DVD player just for the Beast DVD (the CN Blue one did run just fine just for your interest just as both Super Shows I own do) or watch it on Lyza’s laptop but it isn’t the same than being able to watch it on your big TV screen. This means I haven't watched it yet and can't talk about the content.

U-Kiss - Neverland
The last thing our friend got and she had to get it at another shop because Synnara didn’t have it anymore. Last time we tried to order the Super Junior CD from another seller they cancelled it because it got out of stock but this time everything went okay. She is also super duper happy and the album looked great from the inside even though I am not a big Ukiss fan.


Like promised we did take more photos together :D So this post isn’t as image heavy as the first one. If you still have any questions feel free to contact us here or anywhere else :3.

That’s it for today. Any yay finally this post is also up an running!

Gmarket Haul #1

This is our first Gmarket Review for our first Gmarket Order ever. We live in Germany so everything we expierienced counts mostly for that or the European Contries surrounding us. First of all here is a list of our transactions:

Photobucket

We placed the two orders we did on the 30.&31. January and as you can see they were shipped out on the 6. Feburary. It took that long because of two reasons. First was that two things we ordered only came out on the 1.&2. and the other, more bothersome reason was that one item wasn’t send to Gmarket by the seller and it took really long to cancel it. After it was cancelled everything was send out the same day.

It was really amazing to see how fast the shipping actually is, and it really was until it was handed to Mr. Vogel, who was NOT us, nor a neighbour the package had been handed to but the person who brings packages from the local post office to our local customs. Which sadly means when it arrived on Friday it still took until Wednesday for us to pick up the package. But this is not the fault of Gmarket but of the German customs. Another thing you want to know if you live in the EU. Korea is a preference country which means you only have to pay 19% but no additional fees. This however only works if all the products you bought were ‘Made in Korea’ so no Japanese stuff or Chinese stuff. It’s a bit bothersome but really worth it, trust us.

Concerning the reviews of our cosmetics we ordered in a group of three people but only one of us, Greta, got herself skin care products, cremes and powder. This means all reviews are given based on her skin type which is a really,really fair, thin, sensitive, combination skin, acne scaring, (hormonal) breakouts, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone. If you have one or more of these her reviews will be right for you :D

Another thing we need to mention is that since the package only arrived a few days back all of the reviews we’re making are only our first thoughts and we didn’t have that much time to test everything. So these are more first thoughts.

Photobucket
This is how the package looked, I’m not sure if you can see how BIG it is but it’s huge, one of us could fit in there without a problem. It was only half full though.

Photobucket
Everything, still wrapped, unpacked.

Photobucket
Now unwrapped, sorted by what it is and neatly arranged.

Before I start writing the reviews. Once again we were three people that ordered stuff but only one person is writing this post, Maren, so everything (except for the cosmetic reviews from Greta who was nice enough to write these and send them to me) is written by me just to avoid confusion.

Skin Care / Cosmetics

Photobucket
These are all the cosmetics we ordered, plus freebies, as you can see we did a BIG Etude House Haul.

Etude
These are the Freebies we got from Etude. All of them so it’s really not that much which was quite disappointing after paying such an amount of money, we also got a pair of socks which are not included in the photos but you can see them in the videos at the end of this post. Shinee Post Its. Wonder Pore Freshener. Cottonpads.

Photobucket
Be Clear Skin Toner
The toner clears and purifies my skin after cleansing it. I have the feeling that it really helps healing, reducing and preventing break outs, but I’m not sure yet; it doesn’t burn or dry my skin too much, however it could be too harsh for very dry skin though.

Photobucket
Moistfull Collagen Cream
It’s a very light weight cream, neither thick nor sticky, it’s strongly scented though. Up till now it didn’t break me out, but I don’t want to jinx it. The cream settles very fast and acts as good make up base, too, using it leaves the skin looking healthy, radiant and plump and it seems to smooth out my complexion. I like that provides moisture without making my skin oily at all, could be richer fort he night time though … but a richer version of this cream already exists. It also seems to have a pretty good oil control, at least for not too extremely oily combination skin, although it doesn’t claim to have, so that’s nice

Photobucket
Moistfull Collagen First Essence
This one is, again, strongly scented, it smells like tulips. The essence smooths my skin structure, makes it really soft and firm, provides extra moisture plus until now it didn’t break me out.

Photobucket
Moistfull Collagen Essential Massage
The massage really seems to firm and smooth out desired areas, however it’s not for daytime use under makeup, since it’s slightly sticky. My eye area developed small rashes after applying it there though, so I have to see where this takes me.

Photobucket
Black Head Ghassoul Sleeping Paste
I didn’t get to try it yet, but I’m excited to do so since it got pretty good reviews.

Photobucket
Daily Mask Skin Essence Red Ginseng/Collagen
We got this one as a present so we can’t say anything about it :/ but the price for 20 sheet masks is really good! Lyza is also getting one for herself with our next order so stay tuned for a better review.

Photobucket
Precious Mineral BB Cream #1 Sheer Silky Skin
The color is light enough for me, thus suitable for very pale skin. It provides medium coverage, buildable, and it didn't break me out so far. Plus it doesn't make my face oily, it doesn't have a matte finish though and leaves skin looking more plump and sleek.

Photobucket
Dr. Oil Solution Anti-Shine Finish Pact
The powder has really good oil control, one touch-up during the day seems to be enough, however it doesn’t have much coverage, but it doesn't claim to have, so that's okay. Plus it doesn't look too cakey even if reapplied multiple times. I’m just concerned that it could maybe be too harsh on really dry skin.

Photobucket
Proof 10 Eye Primer
This is a truly amazing product and I have to say a little product goes a long way. It really makes the eye shadow stay in place all day and allows a smooth application ... my eye shadow never looked cakey on it up till now. The only downside is that it seemed to be a little drying on my under eye area again.

Photobucket
Line Nuance Duo #4
The color is really light and you definetly need to use a base to keep it to stay in place. But both of the colors are really pretty and compliment each other perfectly. I love the idea of these eyliners and they are also really handy for travelling.

Photobucket
Wannabe Scented Syrup Nailpolish
It’s really pretty. You don’t have to use them as a set, to make gradiant nails, even though it looks really really good when you do so, there is actually an explanation how to do them included, but the colors are pretty alone as well. The thing that put me off the most was that this nail polish is actually scented. When it’s still wet it just smells like normal nailpolish but when it dries it has a syrupy smell to it. I’m not sure if I like that. Like every other glitter nail polish this is really hard to remove again.

Photobucket
Wannabe Style Nailpolish Set #2 Cute Love
Two awesome colors that compliment each other really well when worn together but are pretty alone as well. Until now I haven’t used the stickers yet, but I’m looking forward to it. I like that they look like little sketches. Also, unlike the glitter nail polish, this one is easily to remove.

Photobucket
LUCIDarling Fantastic Nails Shimmering #2 Lavender Purple / Petite Darling Nails GR607 Sandgreen
I had the green nail polish on my nails (base+2 coatings+ topcoat) for at least five days and it only started to chip now. Really happy with this. I used the violet one as well but removed it from my nails in favour to try the green one. Both of them need two coatings to cover completely but most of my nail polishes do, so I’m cool with that. Another thing I want to note is that both of them look quite plain in artificial light but when you look at your nails while you’re outside they look gorgeous and all kinds of perfect.

Skin79
No freebies from this shop sadly I would have really liked to try some stuff from them.

Photobucket
Super+ BB Cream VIP Gold Label
This BB Cream is slightly darker and has a greyish tint when freshly applied, but somehow magically manages to adapt to my fair skin after a few moments when it has oxidized. The finish is more on the dewy side, but not oily and it has light coverage, but buildable to medium. It also didn't break me out and is a little easier to blend than the Etude House one. The Super+ BB Cream leaves my skin super soft and smooth, glides over pores, leaves complexion looking plump and healthy.

Photobucket
Diamond All Day Sun Powder
The powder smooths out the skin very nicely and the finish is not too matte, more natural, healthy and glowy looking, but not glittery at all. It has nice oil control and not very much coverage, it can look cakey if not applied carefully though, especially on dry patches of skin and I wouldn't recommend applying it around the eyes ... at least for me it was very drying.

Photobucket
Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
I’ve only used it once till now and it left my skin fresh and clear looking, but didn’t really do too much after this very first use … I guess I’ll gave to test and use it over a longer time

Photobucket
Tony Moly Tangerine Handcreme, Mini Lip Balm Berry and Mini Lip Tint Set
First of all even though we only ordered one thing from Tony Moly, worth about 10,000 Won, we got two free testers! The tangerine hand creme is smaller than I expected but smells heavenly, I’m currently using up my Bodyshop almond hand creme (which is really good as well!) and I’m happy I already have a new one waiting for me, also the one time I tried it I had to use quite a big amount of it because it seemes not to be as rich as some other hand cremes I tried, but I will see this in the future.
The Berry lip balm on the other hand is bigger than I thought it would be! Like with the handcreme you have to use quite much of it to see the results, but when you do your lips look shiny and plump and smell really good!
The lip tint is really small but I don’t care because I think it was also a freebie kind of and it’s a good size to put it into your bag or something. It doesn’t have a scent to it and well I think it works as good as any other tint, but since I did not have one I decided to get this set.

Photobucket
Fresh Light Blythe Bubble Foam Hairdye #Champagne Pink
Didn’t get around to try this until now but Lyza was really happy to find the color she has been looking for a color like this quite some while. But I’m really looking forward to having my hair dyed champagne pink!

Stationary

Photobucket

하이델
Even though the seller says, on his side, that you get a freebie note book when you order something over 10,000 Won, which we did, we did not get any gifts from them. Looking though other reviews people always got free stuff from them so I think you normally do, but we were maybe just forgotten, which is stupid for us but doesn’t have to scare you.

Photobucket
아자 아자 화이팅 Cellphone string
Got this one for a friend of Lisa. It says Aja Aja Fighting on the belly of this speechbubble which is really cute to start with I think. I also thought this looked kind of see though on the stock pictures but it's solid with the words and face being cut out but I still think it's really cute. Also it's really big, bigger than expected anyways.

Photobucket
Three Sticker Sets
The My little Friend set comes with three sheets and most of the stickers are quite big as well as slightly see though. There are pictures from my little friend and his/her animal friends as well as some words/phrases. Can't wait to use them. My little Friend is Lyza's favourite Korean stationary character.
Next we got two sets of Anne with the red hair travel stickers. I got the European Country Set and they are so adorable! Countries covered are: England, France, Germany and Italy. I think these are the most famous countries you travel to when you decide to go to Europe as a foreigner. There are stickers with important buildings of each country (like the Eiffel Tower) and some characters from the history of the countries as well as some words in the languages. There are also two extra sheets, one with only phrases not on the country sheets and with pronunciation as well as translation to Korean. On the last sheet are some stickers showing Anne as a traveller so you can use these for any other county/city you visit.
The other Anne travel stickers are just for Korea. There are different sheets for the different parts of Korea (for example Busan, Jeju or the Seoul area) and the phrases on the sheets are written in the matching accent/slang you speak there which is really adorable! Once again there are stickers from Anne in traditional clothing and important buildings from the places in Korea. If you are going to Korea and plan to keep diary, decorate the photos you took afterwards or are just in love with Korea in general you should consider getting these ones because they are so adorable!

Other Shops

Photobucket
Refill Sharp Pencils
Greta got these because she needed some pencils and wanted something cute and fun to keep her happy while sitting through boring classes.

Photobucket
Aimee Romantic Season Note
We got every color this note book was released in which are pink check, red dot, flower, deep green for Greta and the green one once again for Maren. This book’s smaller than it looks on the pictures so you better check the measurements before you order it. They are 88x125x13 mm. It’s really thick though with 208 pages and I will definitely use this as soon as I know what for.

Photobucket
Travel Note
This item was a huge disappointment. It’s really cute and the design and pages are awesome for any kind of travel you want to make, it even has a cute map in the beginning where you can mark where you already have been. However the one we got had already been used! There were notes taken inside on two different pages. We already contacted Gmarket with the problem, send pictures and everything, but until now we’re still not finished with this problem. But we will tell you what happened once we have solved the problem.

Photobucket
Solid dots stationary pad
The pages are actually colored and have lines to write on on one side and cute white dots on the other :D The paper is really sturdy. It’s 170x250mm big.

Photobucket
Screenguard Anti Fingerprint
Greta got this for her Samsung Galaxy SII. I’m not sure if she already used it so all I can tell you is that this thing comes with 2 sets of anti-fingerprint film, one microfiber screen wipe, fix tape, one dust removal sticker and a screen squeegee.

Photobucket
Galaxy-II Shinzi Katoh Jelly Phone Case
Once again for Greta’s Samsung Galaxy SII. She got the big red berry design and it fits perfectly. I find the engrish on it hilarious. It says: Big red berry, Big red berry, Now beautiful it is !, It’s Like a ruby...

Photobucket
Galaxy-II Shinzi Katoh Phone Pouch
The last one for Greta’s Galaxy SII is this phone pouch in red. The cell phone fits perfectly and it’s really nice that you can also put your most important cards in it as well. The material feels really good as well.

Kpop / Merch

Photobucket

Synnara
Synarra also didn’t send any freebies but I don’t think they ever do so huh. It’s still good to order there because their sales go into the Hanteo charts.

Photobucket
BAP - Warrior
One of the two things we ordered before they were released. We got two copies (one for Lyza and one for me) with the posters, which we didn’t take a picture of though. I really like the packaging even though it’s quite plain. The photos in the booklet are from three different shoots I think. The Album has four songs the intro, warrior, unbreakable and the song featuring Jieun from Secret, no instumental for warrior though, which makes me kind of sad.

Photobucket
B1A4 - It’s B1A4
To be honest I got that one for the 100 page photobook not the songs. The songs on the album are beautiful target, my love, chu chu chu, wonderful tonight, fooool, beautiful target (inst.) and even though I wasn’t really impressed by the album when it came out the songs slowly grew one me (especially my love and wonderful tonight). Music wise I still think their first album is stronger.

Photobucket
Infinite - First Invasion
This is the last album that was missing for my complete Infinite collection (minus the Japanese Albums, they are so expensive!). The songs on this album are ∞, 다시 돌아와, she’s back, 날개, 붙박이 별, 맡겨 which means the first two songs they did MVs for are on this album. I really enjoyed looking through the photobook and see how much they changed since their debut comparing their pictures from this allbum and Paradise was highly entertaining.

Photobucket
T-ara - John Travolta Wannabe
So I just recently fell for T-Ara completely. I liked most of the songs they released but never really cared about them. I think that changed when Roly Poly was released because I LOVE that song. Thus I decided to get this album (and because it’s really cheap) Next to two new songs this album also has many remixes of their older hits. These are the songs on the album: roly-poly, 진짜 진짜 좋아해, yayaya [remix], 왜 이러니 [remix], Ma boo [remix], 몰라요 [remix], 괜찮아요 [remix]. The packaging and photos are by far my favourite from all the albums I own and bought. The photos are taken to look like they were really taken in the sixties and they put so much effort in their clothing it’s really really adorable. The only thing I didn’t like was that they had closeups from each memeber in the beginning except for Boram that doesn’t make sense D:

T-ara - Funky Town
After putting JTW in my shopping card I decided that I really liked Lovey Dovey and Cry Cry as well and without pondering too much about it (once again the price is really good) I got this one as well. The songs on this one are Lovey-Dovey, 우리 사랑했잖아, Lovey-Dovey [Club Remix Ver.], Cry Cry, Goodbye, OK, O my god, I'm so bad, Cry Cry [Ballad Ver.]. What I really don’t like about T-Ara is that they bring out every album twice. I also, even though not as much as the JTW ones, really like the photos in this album they took the them in a club scene looking like a bunch of girls going out to party they look like really good friends.

Super Junior - A-CHa Repackage
Greta got herself the A-Cha album and the songs on the album are really pretty. The songs on the album are SUPERMAN, A-CHA, Mr. Simple (3:59초), Oops!! (Feat. F(x)), 하루에, 안단테, 오페라, 라라라라, Walkin’, 폭풍, 어느새 우린, 결투, 기억을 따라, 해바라기, 엉뚱한 상상, Y, My Love, My Kiss, My Heart. Superman is one of their best songs ever I think. What I really didn’t like, and I think I never saw someone liking it is the ‘booklet’. All you get are 5 cards, about the size of postcards. Each card has one member of super junior on it one on one side and one on the other which means if you wanted to hang them up you could only have 5 on display.

CN Blue - First Step
Lyza was really excited to get this. And I am slightly jealous now. The album is really amazing! It has twelve tracks which are: 직감, LOVE GIRL, 상상, I don’t know why, 사랑은 비를 타고, Lie, one time, Just Please, Wanna Be Like U, Ready N Go, 고마워요, One of a kind (Bonus Track). The first two being those they promoted. It is a really strong album and we basically love allt he tracks on their. The pictures in the booklet are quite pretty and the packaging looks vintage. Our high hopes have been reached and we are fully satisfied.

CN Blue - Blue Storm Asia Tour Concert DVD
The thing Lyza was anticipating this one the most. She basically stumbled upon this while browsing on Gmarket and then decided to get it. One of the reasons we really ordered in the end. The concert is wonderful. They perform 24 songs in total, Korean and Japanese songs alike. They run around the whole time and especially Jungshin is so entertaining. The Making DVD is not that great, but who cares? Recommendable buy for all the CN Blue fans out there, especially those who missed the Blue Storm concert tour. Next buy is going to be the Listen to the CN BLUE DVD.

K-Pop Socks Seller 1 / K-Pop Socks Seller 2
We got CN Blue, Jonghoon from FT Island, Jang Geunsuk and ⅘ of Shinee Socks. Because the seller had the buy 10 pairs of socks and get one for free special. The seller was nice enought to not just include a random pair of socks but the last missing one for Shinee. Also, we both have the European Shoesize 40-41 and the socks fit without a problem.
We just ordered CN Blue socks from the second seller. They are just too cute and awesome.

Okay this got a bit out of hand I think and I’m sorry for it next time we’re going to take pictures of more stuff together but once again this was our first order and review. If you still have questions about anything you can of couse leave a comment here. You can head over to our facebook page[LINK] and ask there.
