Gmarket Haul #9

Double-boxed again. Order placed on February 15th and 20th, 2012, 13.55 Kg

Unfortunately I missed the delivery so I had to pick this up at the post office. It was one incredibly long walk to the parking lot..

[2012/07/02] Updated with short review on LG ReEn shampoo/conditioner
[2012/07/02] Updated with short review on Peripera Wonder of Lips


OHui Cell Power No.1 gift set
Item# 241223615 (Purchased for ₩63,700 but seller has increased the price since then.)
I've been wanting to try some OHui products so this gift set is just perfect. It comes with the regular-size 35ml Cell Power No.1 Essence + 35ml refill, 20ml toner, 20ml emulsion, 20ml Black Serum and 5ml eye cream.

Su:m 37 Secret Programming gift set
Item# 240060449 (Note: This link is for serum only, see comment)
This set includes the 80ml Secret Programming Essence, 20ml toner, 20ml emulsion, 10ml White Award Detox Mask and 5ml Secret Programming eye cream. Unfortunately the seller has changed this item to the essence only. There are quite a few sellers that offer this at lower prices; I'd recommend doing a quick search for before buying.

 Holika Holika

Holika Holika White Wine Therapy Sleeping Mask
Item#  236032739

Holika Holika  3seconds starter - Hyaluronic Acid 
Item# 223555753
To be honest I have no idea what this is; only got it because it was on sale. I guess this should work like a First serum?
Holika Holika Honey Sleeping Pack
Item# 205130294
I was browsing through some forums and came across a post raving about using cream masks in the shower. This isn't a cream mask but it was on sale for ₩6,500, so I figure I'll give it a try as a "shower mask" lol

 Etude House

Etude House Silk Scarf Repair Hair Essence
Item# 216281949
I liked it initially but it became very drying (probably due to all the silicones.) Gave up on it already and ordered the Mise En Scene Sleek & Smooth Damage Care Perfect Serum in my next haul. 
Etude House BeBe Gentle Cream
Item# 207592546
Smells nice, moisturizing.
Etude House Intensvie Care Hair Mask
Item# 177511749
Not a miracle product but it's pretty good for the price. I will need to use it a few more times before deciding whether to repurchase or not. It has a thick balm texture unlike most deep conditioners which are more lotion-like. Each packet has enough product for at least two to three treatments (for mid-length hair), and the shower cap is sturdy enough for re-use.
Etude House head band
Item# 157567491
Only bought this for one reason - the Sulwhasoo Skin Clarifying Mask. This very sticky and messy mask requires special attention when I use it. I need to make sure no one is awake and every piece of hair stays out of the way.

LG ReEn shampoo and rinse
Item# 205043164
Purchased the 자윤비책 shampoo and 모강비책 conditioner as per the Best of Beauty list from Allure Korea
[2012/07/02] I've been using this combo for a few weeks. The 자윤비책 shampoo is similar to Ryoe - It has a strong herbal smell and foams quite well, but not as moisturizing as the Mise En Scene Damage care that I've been using or the green bottle Ryoe shampoo (according to my sis.)
The 모강비책 conditioner is excellent - Its texture is similar to a hand lotion and not as watery as regular hair conditioners. Unfortunately I've never tried Ryoe conditioners so I can't compare them, but it's definitely better than Mise En Scene. I think I'll try the ReEn 효윤비책 line when I'm eventually done with these two.

Happy Bath Rose and Mild body wash 900ml + 900ml
Item# 204077000
 Body oil was leaking... 
This seller has increased the price quite a bit so I'd recommend searching for other sellers instead. These body washes were expensive to ship, but they were perfect for using up my Gcash since the estimated item weight was only 0.5kg. I used the additional option to add another body wash, two body lotions, body oil and some Magix pads. The total shipment weight became way heavier than the estimate (as expected), so I paid the balance with my Gcash and now I only have ₩310 left in my account :)
Body wash (Rose) - Smells great, lathers well, no allergic reactions.
Body oil - Smells great, absorbs well, texture is similar to cooking oil. Definitely better than Johnson's Baby Oil. Too bad it leaked all over the box.
Magix - 한초랑 is way better.

Peripera Wonder of Lips in #12 & 21
Item# 154875543
Got these on sale for ₩6,900 each! The only problem is that they are practically the same color...What was I thinking???
[2012/07/02] Finally tried these. Maybe it's my lip color but they look awful on me. And drying too. Luckily they didn't cost much...I'm sticking with Dior Addict.

Charmzone NewCon Control Cream 4 in 1
Item# 128481116

Chosungah Raw Patting Essence
Item# 233553817
Saw this on Hope-in a Blog and added it at the last minute. Feeling confident about Chosungah Raw products these days lol...gonna try the Black Jam next time.


History of Whoo Essential Massage Mask
Item# 184360169
Whoo massage mask (left), Su:m 37 A-Time essence (right)
Sometimes I buy things that I can't explain....what a pretty pretty box :) 

SU:M 37 A-Time essence
Item# 230753561 (Other sellers are offering this in a gift set that costs even less.)
Saw this on Hope as well.  My face gets extremely dry at the office so hopefully this will help. The product itself has an essence-like texture (true to its name), so it won't be as refreshing as a moisturizing mist. I mainly use it on my cheeks and laugh lines since they get dried out the most. It's definitely more convenient than re-applying moisturizer in the middle of the day.

  1. wow I never knew Beyond is organic!  I almost ordered their serum gift set but changed my mind at the last minute and went with the Allvit one instead. hehe Gmarket really should make a side panel with a link to your blog.  I can tell there are plenty of die-hard followers like myself that are buying stuff based on what we read on yours.

    beyond products are so under rated i should really promote them more on the blog! they're really good and the price is affordable despite it being an organic brand!

  6. Thanks for visiting :)  I haven't tried the Happy Bath lotions yet but I'm sure they'll smell great. Their body oil is fantastic. haha I have no self-control when it comes to shopping.  I just got another small haul earlier this week so I really don't when I'll actually get around to using all these products. Great to hear that you like LG shampoo! I'm still finishing the Mise En Scene shampoo that I got a few months back so i'm really looking forward to trying the LG ones. Btw, have you tried any hair/body products from Beyond?

  8. Nice haul!!  I love Happy Bath Rose essence smell the best.  What do you think of Happy Bath's lotions?  LOL at the your comment about "something I buy things that I can explain."  I am the same way, I buy things on impulse sometimes because of the gift or package, or who really know.  I really like LG shampoo, let me know what you think about it.
