GMarket Haul: Etude House





Hey guys! Today's post is a GMarket Haul! Got tons of goodies from Etude House. I loveee GMarket, but their shipping is crazy expensive T.T I paid around $40 for shipping, but got refunded $8 since they overcharged me. But in the end I was still getting the better deal on GMarket than the other sites like Amazon or Ebay (: Everything took me around 10 minutes to open since the products were packaged safely with bubble wrap. I tried to be neat with everything, but gave up in the end and just started using scissors LOL!


Mostly everything I got were from Etude House's newest collection line "Sweet Recipe" with the exception of one item from their "Princess Etoinette" Love their cutesy packaging! ^^

Etude House Princess Etoinette Mirror


The actual mirror is really small, about the sides of my hand, but I like that since it is compact. I will be using this a lot when I'm filming makeup tutorials, so you'll all be seeing this in my upcoming videos (:


1. The mirror is able to stand up on a flat surface.
2. Front view of the mirror
3. Detailing of the inside view of the mirror
4. Back view of the mirror

Etude House Sweet Recipe Almond Chip Cookie Pact


This was the only product that I didn't purchase off of the official Etude House GMarket store. For some reason, I couldn't find this specific product & I really wanted to try it out, but with further product searching, I was finally able to get my hands on it! (: For those of you that are also interested in this product, I'll leave the link down below ^^ 


Etude House Sweet Recipe Makeup Sliced Cake Puffs


I just picked up some simple makeup sponges. Why? No reason, I guess I was just sucked into the Etude House Sweet Recipe cuteness and bought this product on a whim. I only ever used makeup brushes and my hands for applying on foundation/BB Cream, so using makeup sponges is a first for me. I've heard from others that they liked using sponges more so hopefully it will be the same for me!

Etude House Sweet Recipe Choux Base (Berry)


This was probably the heaviest item of the whole order. The container actually feels sturdy almost glass like (: There is this artificial berry smell to it which i'm not a big fan of, I actually find the smell unpleasant ):

Etude House Sweet Recipe Chocolate Highlighter


Wasn't sure whether or not to get the highlighter or the eyeshadow, but ended up with the highlighter only because I don't own any highlighters~ So this being my first highlighter product, when I did swatch it, it was pretty pigmented and shimmery! I'm just hoping when this product transfer onto my face, I don't look like a disco ball x)

Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color (Strawberry, Blueberry, Peach)


This was definitely one of those products from the new line that I wanted to try out! (: This is actually an all in one type of product, you can use it as a cream blush, eyeshadow base or lip color. I was actually hoping that each of these would have a distinctive smell to it, but they all smell the same. They all have that nice peachy smell!

Blueberry

                                                                               Peach

                                                                           Strawberry

Etude House Sweet Recipe Chocolate Smudge Liner #1 & #2



Lately I've been on a hunt for a good brown gel liner~ So when Etude House released these two gel liners, I was willing enough to give these a go (: One is more of darker brown and Two is a milky brown color. Excited to try these out! ^^

AMAZING SAMPLES FROM ETUDE HOUSE!



Since I purchased at least 5 items from the Official Etude House GMarket shop, they were having a promotion where they'll give you this awesome deluxe sample set featuring some of Etude House most famous best selling items!!! And they also threw in a free face mask (their pearl extract) ! (: So the travel kit contained Baking Powder B.B Deep Cleansing Foam, Moistful Collagen First Essence, Moistful Collagen Cream & Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit Natural Beige W13. 


So that is all! Was definitely happy with my GMarket experience,shipping, service, products and etc.! Will definitely take the chance to order from GMarket again when I earn some cash LOL! 

If any of you would like a more thorough review of any of these products, please comment down below and let me know! (:
