GMarket Haul!


Hey everyone! So today's post is another GMarket Haul! I swear GMarket has become an addicting site to shop at!!! I LOVE IT! The shipping is really pricey... I can tell you that... but it is so darn worth it when your package arrives at your doorsteps in 2 days! SUPER FAST SHIPPING (I live in New York btw). 




So here is my order! Didn't get as much as last time, but Im seriously so excited to try out these products! (: Most of my beauty items here were purchased from Etude House! & the book is Ulzzang Pony's makeup book! 


Beauty Items from Etude House:

Etude House AC Clinic Daily Acne Foam Cleanser 



I wanted to get this cleanser since I have been experiencing a bit of breakout here and there! I've heard tons of good things about this specific skincare line from Etude House. I figure I'd give this cleanser a shot since it was actually on sale! I believe it was 50% off the original price! WHAT A STEAL!
As you can see from the picture, it lathers up pretty well & it does really get very foamy ^^ This product does have a ginger like smell in my opinion, which can be a bit too much for me ~


Etude House Surprise Essence Concealer

My friend Sunny also known as Sunnydahye on YouTube raves about this concealer. I always tend to love the products she recommends, so I was really excited to get my hands on this! ^^ This concealer has a very unique sponge and I honestly just dot this product to my trouble areas. As the pictures shown below, I tried to point out the area of the dark spot on hand that I tried to cover. As you can see, the product doesn't provide full coverage, but a good medium coverage. (: 


1. The uncovered dark spot on my hand.
2. The surprise concealer applied on top of the dark spot.
3. The medium coverage that help lightened and covered the dark spot.


Etude House CC Cream (Silky)



This product was newly released from Etude House & it is their CC Cream. The CC Cream stands for Color Control and it claims to be an 8-in-1 type of product. It has a formula that hydrates, primes, conceal, treats, protects skin, whitening, anti-wrinkle & sun protection. I like how hygienic this CC Cream is, since it comes in a squeeze pump packaging. The CC Cream comes out white, and if you look closely there are these tiny capsules which will burst once you rub the product into your skin, which then helps match the CC Cream to your skin color. This CC Cream doesn't give much coverage, I would say it has a sheer coverage, but leaves a satin finish on my skin!


1. The CC Cream pumped out of the tube.
2. Blending out the CC Cream on my skin midway.
3. The sheer coverage left behind by the CC Cream, after being blended fully.


PONY'S MAKEUP BOOK VOL. 2




So the last product I picked up was Pony's makeup book. And this is her second makeup book ( I believe she has 3 in total). This book has tons of great tips and tricks on how to achieve the most amazing natural, gorgeous makeup looks! Although everything is written in Korean, you can get by through looking at the step by step pictures! 


There is a CD provided which has extra bonus looks that Pony personally demonstrates on how to achieve them!


HERE ARE SOME SNEAK PEAKS OF HER MAKEUP LOOKS:





   
MY FAVORITE MAKEUP LOOK IN THE BOOK!


So that is all to my mini GMarket Haul. IM SO EXCITED TO GIVE THESE PRODUCTS A GO! <3333 Definitely will be having another GMarket post soon cause since like I mentioned before... THIS SITE IS SOOOO ADDICTING TO SHOP AT!

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!
