[2012/03/12] Updated with short reviews on Mise En Scene hair cream and Dr Jart sleeping mask
[2012/03/19] Updated with short review on The Saem Chagabelhyo Liposome 100 Serum
The Saem link
All three items were on sale (
Mom's nagging Hand Cream
Item# 236079705
Small, cheap, smells nice. Possible repurchase if it goes on sale again.
Chagabelhyo Liposome 100 Serum
Item# 225637029
Started using this last week. It has a watery texture but the finish is bit sticky like the YE Power 10 serum from It's Skin. I think it would be too heavy for the summer or those who live in tropical weather. Otherwise, it's nice serum for a great price (I got it on sale for ₩19,800.) My sis mentioned that the Innisfree Green Tea serum has the same sticky finish; she prefers the It’s skin Prestige Serum descargot snail essence which doesn't have this problem.
Gem Miracle Black Pearl O2 Bubble Mask
Item# 225637028
Finally tried this last weekend after getting some English instructions off eBay (LOL...simply apply a thin layer and let it sit for 10 minutes.) It was an interesting experience since I've never used a bubble mask before. I'm not quite sure what it's supposed to achieve but my skin does feel pretty clean afterwards. This is a possible future repurchase, but then again I'd rather try more bubble masks from other brands to see how they compare. Strangely enough, out of all the full-size skincare products I've gotten from Gmarket, only these ones from The Saem don't come with any English or Chinese instructions.
"Gift" from The Saem
Dish soap and fabric softener - they will come in handy when I'm down to the last drop...
Also ordered the Gem Miracle Diamond Peeling but it was out of stock.
Hera UV Mist Balm SPF 33/PA++ (color: 23)
Item# 217050465 - currently out of stock
I wanted to buy this after reading a detailed review on Hope-inablog. My face tends to get oily with BB creams so I've stopped using them several months ago. This compact brightens up my skin tone and effectively hides the pores around my nose area. It's a great product for those who want light coverage or need something for quick touch-ups.
Mise En Scene Sleek & Smooth Damage Care Cream
Item# 181900409
The Sleek & Smooth Damage Care Perfect Serum CF was on almost every commercial break when I was watching TEN. All the hair-flipping must have hypnotized me because it's now a possible item for my next haul. On a side note, Yoo Ji Tae's CF for SKII Men was also on heavy rotation during last two episodes. I normally would fast-forward all the ads but I sat through this one, maybe once or twice :P
Update: Started using this last week, it does help to make my ends softer. I find it more moisturizing than the Pearl Shinning cream (yellow bottle.)
Dr. Jart AGE-X Firming Sleeping Mask
Item# 224737159 - currently out of stock
Update: I don't recommend this. It's sticky and stings quite a bit. I'm using it on my legs now so that it doesn't go to waste. It's out of stock anyway so hopefully they'll discontinue it or improve the formula.
Dr. Jart Black label BB cream
Item# 121760459
Ordered the Black Label but received this Acne BB cream instead...I'm speechless
Items not for myself:
2012 Toffeenut Diary planner
Item# 233856926
LCD Cleaners
Item# 227690415 & 209126448
Many sellers offer this item; I went with this one because the estimated weight was only 0.1 KG.
Etude House Missing U Hand Cream/Bee Happy
Item# 234199779
Etude House Moistfull Collagen Balm (color: 1)
Item# 201925853
This looks very similar to the Hera pact and uses the same type of sponge. I'm not sure how well it works since it's not for myself.
Ryoe Heukunmo Shampoo for hair loss prevention
Item# 156801418
Ryoe Cheongamo Shampoo for dry scalps
Item# 129757119
Galaxy Tab 10.1 cover
Item# 228041072
Short Review: Fits perfectly. What more can I say?
Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Treatment - out of stock
Item# 209618159
I actually stopped using this for awhile because my skin got very irritated at one point (dry patches of skin on my forehead.) I find that it works much better (for me anyway) if I message it for a bit instead letting a thick layer sit on my skin.
