GMarket Haul #1

Guess what arrived in the mail today?  My second GMarket haul!  ...This post is a little late in the making.

It arrived in a huge box.  Estimated weight was 6.88kg, but it really only weighed 2.98kg.

Everything is wrapped very securely.  I should have taken a picture of the trash pile after unwrapping all the bubble wrap.  >_<  On the upside, nothing broke during shipping.  :)

Tried to get a everything I bought into a single picture.  Not so easy.  Bought some beauty basics (.i.e. q tips because they were so cheap!  Haha.)

Holika Holika Heartful Moisture Lipsticks in RD807, RD808, and PK121!  These are so cute I had to buy them--they are heart-shaped how can you resist?!  I tried them on and they are actually very pigmented, creamy, and apply smoothly.  Cute and quality.  :)

Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-talk in RD303, OR204, and RD302!  I'm going through a red phase, apparently.  Anyways, these are very cute--I do adore pink and bows.  The formula is not as creamy and smooth as the Holika Holika Heartful Moisture Lipsticks, but they are very pigmented.

Packaging.  The Holika Holika lipsticks are slightly smaller than the Etude House lipsticks.

Etude House's Dear My Blooming Lip-talk states that its "smooth textured lipstick supplies vivid color and moist shine."

Holika Holika's Heartful Moisture Lipstick's box reads:  "Lovely heart-shaped moisture and high color formulation lipstick which is smoothly and easily applied as melted on lips.  With its vivid color and soft lit reflection effect, this moisture lipstick is applied easily and colored clearly as melted on lips.  Furthermore, a high moisture essential oil complex (sweet orange oil, grapefruit oil, olive oil) is included, protecting lips with full moisture."

Etude House Dear My Blooming Cheek in PP501 and OR202.  Etude House Look at My Eyes in PP03 and BL03.  Both products are rather pigmented.  Yay!

Etude House Dear My Blooming Cheek packaging.  It illustrates 3 different ways to apply the product by varying the usage of the colors as a highlight and contour.

Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner.  Can't wait to try this.  I heard so many good things.  

I love the packaging.  Very sturdy with a pump!

Etude House Baking Powder BB Deep Cleansing Foam and Happy Teatime Green Tea Cleansing Foam.  I tried a sample of Etude House's Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam and I loved the lemon scent.  Hopefully, the BB Deep Cleansing Foam works even better since I tend to wear makeup a lot.  Oh, I love that these cleansers come sealed so you know they weren't opened and the product life clock hasn't started ticking away.  Haha.

Etude House Juicy Cocktail Gradation Nails in #3 and #5. 

Packaging.  :)

Instructions on how to use the set.  They are seriously easy to do--and I am super impatient when it comes to nail art.

Etude House Missing U Handcream in #4 Pink Dolphin.

Etude House Missing U Hand Cream in #2 Fairy Penguin.

I have the entire collection!  I finished my seal and panda ones already.  Love the formulation of this hand cream--it doesn't leave me feeling sticky and tacky.  Also, I do believe a portion of the proceeds is donated to protect these cute critters.  :)

Beauty basics:  cotton swabs, nail polish container with pump, portable perfume spray, replacement puffs/sponges (for my Etude House Cookie Blusher and Precious Mineral BB Compact), and a mask brush.  Also, two rings I bought from another GMarket seller, Misty Rose Jewelry.  They were relatively cheap but they are so cute and dainty.  And most importantly, they don't look cheap!  Haha.

Freebies from Etude House (left) and Holika Holika (right).  The two boxes are cotton pads.  Etude House's  samples are their Blackhead Cleansing Foam Pad, Skin Mal Gem Smoother and Deep Moist.  Holika Holika's samples include their Face 2 Change Cream Starter and Water March Moisture Full Cream.

Etude House lip-shaped pillow, which is part of their Dear My Blooming Lip promotion.
