GMarket Haul

Another GMarket parcel has arrived.

Part of an overview of the items bought.

Mainly clothes and bags. I think Korea is having Winter and is snowing now. Most of the clothes on sale are pretty thick.

The most disappoint among the loot would be this top. The milk/off white colour is too yellowish and old in real life.

What I consider both cheap and pretty (i.e true to picture) for this batch of loots would be these accessories.

One of the top sellers on GMarket website is Korea organizers and stationeries. I have to say that these stationaries are indeed pretty. Seller is pretty kind enough to give bookmarks as free gift.

the last loot I would like to blog about would be this doll from a recent korea drama - Your are beautiful / You are handsome.

There was the other seller who origin from China. I think it would be safer to check the seller's location or item manufacturing location before you purchase to ensure the item's authenticity.

I guess my next purchase from GMarket will be soon because I have run out of eye cream.

Dear readers, do recommend good eye cream for prevention of wrinkle if you do have any good korea brand in mind.

Thanks!

GMarket Haul

My parcel has finally arrived!

Speedy GMarket

*cross fingers*

will update/review when I receive the items!

Wrong Item shipped from GMarket

As explained in this post, my item was shipped out wrongly by GMarket.

And, I have mentioned like a million times that GMarket service is excellent. I received a staistfactory reply from them today.

So, what should you do when you realised that the seller has shipped the wrong item to you? It is simple and you could do the following:

1. email global@gmarket.co.kr the following details:
-Transaction No.
-A photo showing the item and label sticker as evidence
2. Wait for GMarket to get back to you. Usually they will get back to you within 1-2 working days. Email GMarket when you do not receive any emails from them after 3 business days.

Remember! Check your items the minute you receive them. If there is any error, report it immediately and not drag the case as you will put GMarket in a very difficult position to help you.

GMarket Hual

Yes! My GMarket parcel is finally here after Speedpost holiday over the weekend.


Look at how the items are neatly placed in the box

I received A FEW surprises from GMarket this time. I got tons of free gifts! Isn't shopping at GMarket great? It was just so coincidentally that my mom needed a pair of socks


This seller included free mask for me too! Most other sellers only give a free soft case but this seller's glasses come with hard case and microfibre cleaning cloth!

My Omnia casing has retired. So, I thought I could get the casing from GMarket too. However, they do not seem to know what is Omnia I900. I think they could have used another name over there. I thought I900 is actually M490/M495 over at Korea but it seems that I am wrong. That's so sad because I love this leather casing. The quality is very good!

Some shoes were in the parcel too. I think the quality of the shoes are not too bad, at least the shoes are true to picture

However, this seller seems to have sent me the wrong sneakers! I have contacted GMarket about it. Given GMarket's excellent customer service so far, I hope something could be done without much hassle.

GMarket Hual

I think I am totally addicted to GMarket! Best of all, I got my family interested too. So, my parents and siblings have joined me in the GMarket shopping batch this time. Hence, you can see bigger and more parcel coming to my apartment.


my mom bought some watches. I thought they were great. They look very close to what is shown in the picture as display on the GMarket seller page. My mom bought a few watches because she thinks that they are really cheap! On top of that, extra batteries and screws are given.

Some shoes were ordered too.

the seller has thrown in accessories for the shoes too!
My father bought a red polo tshirt. But I took the wrong size for him, so it is a pity because the colour and design are true to picture, and the quality is not bad.

As for my brother, he bought two men's apparels too.

now, i can't wait for my next GMarket parcel!
=)

GMarket Hual

I was very angry with speedpost this time. They claimed that they came in the afternoon few days ago but no one was around. My mom will be at home most of the time and she was very sure that no one came by that afternoon. Hence, I called up SpeedPost to complain and another delivery day was arranged. I was still upset because of their workers, I have to wait for additional days which I thought it wasn't fair. Seriously, I think Singaporeans should learn from Koreans. I feel that Gmarket's efficiency was excellent.

okay, enough of complaints. Here are my facial care loots from BRTC and Etude House:


i really feel safe buying from GMarket. Look at the generous bubble wraps and protection they have used.
In addition, I've got a pink waterproof camera as a free gift! i really love GMarket sellers for their generous samples and free gift

I bought Etude House O2 white series.

GMarket Hual

I would like to share my excitement for my online shopping at GMarket! As shown in the picture, it is my first GMarket loot!



Initially, it was tough to navigate around GMarket website because most of the items listing details are in Korea. But I guess nothing will beat a girl's determination to shop.

When the parcel came, I was a little disappointed because it seems that it was out of shape. It made me wonder what had happened along the way. But fortunately, GMarket and their sellers took great care to protect the items. As you can see from the above picture, the items are well-protected with other self-containing boxes. Although this will inevitably adds up to the shipping cost, I am willing to pay a little extra to have my items well protected. Afterall, it has came all the way from Korea, isn't it?

Among all, is my favorite new brand Etude House. It has indeed didn't disappoint me. Not only the item came very well protected with many layers of bubble wrap, it came with free gifts! I rarely get free gifts from shopping online.



GMarket will definitely be one of my new favorite online shopping website!

eBay Hual

i went coach to check out the GSS promotion, and most importantly the bag that i have been looking for is no longer on sale.

Anyway, I have decided to try getting some stuff from overseas through eBay. The experience was not too bad. I bought additional wii remote for my wii set. it is cheaper than getting them here in local stores.

of course, there are risks involved. i would be lying if i say that i am not worried that they will cheat my money or the items come in faulty. hahas!

Skinfood Gold Caviar Range

Skinfood Gold Caviar Range [Sample]

My Rating: TBC

I thought it is time for my to start seeking for suitable anti-aging products since I am already into my early 20s. Tried on the samples given for the Gold Caviar toner and emulsion. personally I feel it is too rich for my skin at the moment. It leaves a layer of oily look on my face after a long long time. Hence, I did not continue using it. I think i will try again when I reach my mid-20s.

Skinfood Black Sugar Mask

Skinfood Black Sugar Mask

Description from Skinfood:

Apply evenly after cleansing. Avoid eye and mouth area. Gently scrub and wash off with lukewarm water after 10 - 15 minutes.

My Rating: 7/10

My bf Rating: 9/10

Unlike the rice mask, this seems to be a little too coarse for my skin. Don't like the feeling. Anyway, I have passed it to my bf to used instead. It does not have whitening properties and since it helps to exfoliate the skin, I think he can use it.

Buy it at JLove Belleza for S$18.50

Retail: S$25.50

Skinfood Rice Mask

Skinfood Rice Mask

Description from Skinfood:

Exfoliating wash off scrub mask with minerals, vitamins and gamma oryzanol. Moisturizes and whitens the skin.

My Rating: 9/10

I totally love this mask. My skin feels so much smoother after just one application. On top of that, it is said to have whitening properties. I think this mask is worth investing.

buy it at JLove Belleza for S$19.50

Retail: S$25.50
