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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 :/

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.

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.

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!

Love
