First GMarket Haul!!!

So, I have finally received my first GMarket Haul!!
May I just mention how excited I was??  And how long I have been waiting for this?


If anyone needs help with GMarket please feel free to ask me, as I now pretty much am out of most of my confusion surrounding this.


So without further ado, my sensible haul:

A picture of the EMS-box, it was pretty filled.  Sadly, it took me longer than get as it was held by customs.


My teddy-bear nicely fits into the box :).

All the stuff, so finally I'm going to show you what I got.


1.  Dress


I don't even know what to call this color.  Anyway I got this dress, as I fell in love with the simplicity.  To be honest, the color is almost the same in real life, almost no difference.  The quality is really good, I was amazed.  It also has padding on the shoulders and bust-area and fits me nicely. Pretty happy ^_^
2. Peach Cardigan


This was a bit on the pricey side.  Nevertheless it was worth it.  The color is a little darker in real life, but it's really cute.  Again amazing quality and the buttons are especially nice. Here's a little picture to show the material up-close:





4.  Turquoise Blouse


This blouse is really pretty and casual enough to wear to College, while still looking good.  It is a bit big on my petite frame, but still looks really pretty.  I've been wanting to buy something this color.


5. Basic Coat


The most expensive item.  But it is worth it, as you wouldn't find anything similar for cheaper.  I thought it was pretty basic and a must-have, as I've been stealing my moms black coat for quite some time now.  Well, it's abit longer on me than on the model, but I'm shorter as well.



Overall I'm really satisfied ^_^
Now a few things to note were the shipping:  allthough pricey, I got some of it refunded.  Now this made me really happy, however, I can understand some peoples frustration:  It is refunded not in cash, but you can use it in GMarket for another order(that is a full order) so until you don't have enough, no order with this money.  For me this is okay, since I want to repurchase a lot of times, so it is like my own saving account for another Haul haha.

Another thing is the delivery.  Srsly.  It took people in Korea 1 week to get everything ready and ship it to the UK.  And then what happens?  Yes people here are holding it for like a week wtf.   Then I have to pay customs.  I wasn't pleased but okay.  Then they tell me if I want to get it quick, I have to pay money.  When I already paid for the fcing expensive express delivery.  Ok.  Then I have to pay 12 quid for their service fee or whatever.  This was pissing me off so much.  But in the end I got my package(even when I had to drive to he post office that is 30mins away)

Oh another thing:  If you are really overweight or really skinny, some clothes might not look good on you.




Now, I'm off to place another order.

Current-Drama Obsession

..... PADAM PADAM

Right now, I am still waiting for subs to come out and kind of trying to not pay attention to it, as my exams are coming up, but-

It is amazing.


The thing was I watched it without bias and thinking anything about it, but then I got hooked, so I'm not gonna spoil it for you.  But  I'm gonna say: ex-convicts, angel and a bittersweet love story mixed in one.

It is very different from your cliches and I understand it's not for everyone, especially those BOF-fans, but there is so much more into it, that it makes your heart break at times and at other makes you happy for Kang Chil.

The actors are really good at portraying their roles.

People have commented on his "crazy" eyes, and I have to agree.  It's my first time watching Jung Woo Sung, but he is amazing.  Han Ji Min is very pretty as well, but I wish to see more of her character, as right now I don't know what to think.

And then there is Kibum.  Whose heart didn't melt after seeing his smile?  I am so in love with his character.


I really hope you guys give it a try.  I don't like one-dimensional dramas, if you know what I mean and up until now Padam Padam is all you can ask for, so let's just hope they don't mess up.


I mean can you resist this?

Review: Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream

Another review of a BB-cream.  As I mentioned before I am in love with BB-creams, so you can expect a lot more reviews in the future.


This time around, it's the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream.  I think it's a pretty well-known BB-cream and easier to get into your hands.

That's what it looks like.


So I am just going to list the advantages/disadvantages of this:
ADVANTAGES:
- Really cheap, I got mine for less than 10 dollars.
- SPF
- Lasts long
- Moisturising
DISADVANTAGES:
- not a lot of product, especially the 20ml one
- moderate coverage, so not recommend for really bad skin.


Overall, this is a good buy and definitely repurchasable(if that is a word), as it is good to have on hand for days where you don't need to wear a lot of make-up or even as a base.

Review: Innisfree Trouble Care BB Cream

Hey guys,
I am really in love with BBcreams and Asian cosmetics, because of their top quality.  I just wanted to share a review for this product.
 That’s what it looks like.
It’s the Innisfree Trouble Care BB cream.
Now I fell in love with this products, as this was my first BB-cream.
However after sinking more into the bb-cream-world, I found it pretty pricey.  $15usd + plus shipping, so it is kinda mid-range in terms of cost.  However it is worth it.  And it lasted me quite a while.  I don’t know how much is left right now, as it’s not visible, but I bought it over a year ago and for a period of time used it every day and there’s still a bit left, so not disappointing.
Now it is perfect for my combination skin.  Not drying nor too oily.  Pretty good coverage for my light acne scars and evens out my face texture.  So no complaints.
It comes with a pump – which I love.  However someone else mentioned that it didn’t work quite well for her, so I guess it’s luck?
Oh did I mention why I love BB-creams?  It’s like light foundation, only difference is, it actually does what for your skin:  Sunprotection, Moisture, Anti-aging , the list goes on.  The Innisfree bb-cream is moisturizing which I love love love.
For those who have really pale skin, there are better bb-creams for you.
Advantages:
- Flawless, even complexion on moderately uneven skin
- Moisturising
- SPF27, PA++
- Richly pigmented, thus lasts long
- Feels very natural
Disadvantages:
- Some people might find it pricey
- Another friend said it wasn’t helping her oily face with controlling the oil
So it’s definitely a product to at least try.  It can be used as make-up base.  And it’s perfect if you are in a hurry.
