Nth Gmarket Haul
Once again, I ordered something from Gmarket. It seems like ordering from Gmarket has became a monthly affair for me :)
- VOV Daily Fresh Face Mask in Strawberry Yogurt Collagen
- VOV Daily Fresh Face Mask in Coenzyme Q10 White
- VOV Daily Fresh Face Mask in Tomato White Collagen
- Mamonde Soothing Wash Off Pack
- Etude Bloomade Blush in #13 Berry Bloom
- Etude Bloomade Blush #4 Lavender Bloom
- Zeniswell Samples
Both the Strawberry Yogurt Collagen and Tomato White Collagen smells GREAT (I'm using the tomato one right now)!! The Strawberry one really smells like the real deal! They come in a box of ten, and I shared five from each "flavour" with my mom.
I have always wanted to try something from Mamonde, since the spokensperson is Han Ga In, one of my favourite korean actress! She's soooo cute and pretty!! So when I spotted a Mamonde mask, I immediately added it to my shopping cart. :)
I bought the Mamonde Soothing Wash Off Pack thinking that it might be a aloe vera wash off. But instead, its cucumber, well, I'm fine with that too. The smell and texture of this mask reminds me of Skin Food's Cucumber Soothing Wash Off Pack, but the Skin Food's version is much pricer! Mamonde's version is about $8 only ^_^
In my previous haul, I initially wanted to get some stuffs from Etude House, but to some reason unknown to me, the seller etudehouse was unlisted on Gmarket. Etude House products are now listed under "etudegmark" if I don't remember wrongly, correct me if I'm wrong.
So this time, I ordered............. :
- Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Mask x2
- Trouble Eraser Cleansing Gel
- Collagen Eye Patch x4
- Moistfull Eye Essence
- Bright Eye Patch (box of 5)
- Vital Firm toner + lotion sample (GWP)
- Calendar (GWP)
So far, I only used one of the Collagen Eye Patch, but unfortunately, there wasn't any visible effect, but then again, I only tried it once.
The Eye Essence comes in a nice heavy pump bottle. It looks very pretty in the bottle, a light light pink, but that's because of the colour of the glass bottle otherwise the product itself is just a plain white colour. I use it day and night before my usual eye gel. The texture is rather light and milky and easily absorbed, so there's no problem applying my eye makeup after it.
Till the next time~~~!

1st haul from Strawberrynet
This is my first time ordering from Strawberrynet.com and I am very pleased!
First of all, the the parcel arrived at my doorstep within 5 workings days.
Secondly, the products in the parcel came very well "cushioned". Take a look at the pictures and you will know what I mean.
Thirdly, there is no shipping charges worldwide.
Fourthly, as I ordered more than 3 products, I enjoyed a 5% off the total. How much exactly I paid in total needs to be reconfirmed when I receive my credit bill though.
Lastly, there is a promotional going one for new customers, a free Stila Glitter Eye Liner.
- H2O+ Sea Results Overnight Perfecting Peel
- H2O+ Anti-Acne Clarifying Toner
- Stila Eye Shadow Trio in Bronze Glow
- Stila Glitter Eye Liner #05 Purple Pink (Free)
The Stila Bronze Glow is so pretty~! I was undecided between the Bronze Glow or the Golden Glow but in the end, I got the Bronze instead... :)
The two H2O+ products were recommended by the H2O+ SA in Singapore, but the price of them at the local counters are extravagent, the Clarifying Toner cost around $60 and the Perfecting Peel is $100+......... At Strawberrynet, these babies cost around half the price ^-^
I have been using the Peel for a bout a week only, so I cannot really comment, but from the reviews at makeupalley, it seemed somewhat effective for most people. For the rest of the loots they are still looking pretty on my shelves~! :)

Clarins - Eye Pencil Waterproof
A few weeks ago, a letter from Clarins was sent to me, telling me that I have 483 points with the Clarins Club Beaute.
Redemption for gifts start at 300 points and with 483 points I have a choice of redeeming something from the 300 or 350 points, but something from the 500 points range caught my eye. The powder blush in Raspberry, this is a new color that only just came out this year.
Therefore, I need to top up my points! So I decided to get the eye pencil in waterproof, as recently I read out it in Urban.
I tested it lightly at the back of my hand at the counter, and it seemed to be quite creamy and easy to apply, quite unlike some other eyeliner pencils I have tried before.
The waterproof part needs to be tested as I yet to have tried them on yet. Hehe..
