Sample: Sulwhasoo

Gone for awhile but I'm trying to get back to this blog though for now I'm on auto pilot and wouldn't be very chatty.

Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Cream
Got interested with this cream as I read a review somewhere that it rejuvenates skin which my tired face mostly need and it works.  Some might get irk about the ginseng, earthy and herby smell but this stuff really moisturizes and seem to repair the skin.  Although it's on the fluidy side, it feels heavy on the skin.  It's probably because I used a lot of water based skincare lately but so far this is a great cream.

Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Eye Cream
I ordered 30+ sachets of this eye cream which equates to a full size amount.  This is a thick but tolerable eye cream which, again, kinda rejuvenates the undereye area.  Though it did not make my dark circle go away or the lines in the undereye area, it keeps the wrinkles and crow feet at bay which is good because I'm already nearing 30.  Although it's a heavy eye cream, I find it better than using a fluidy one as it doesn't slide on my cheeks...it just stay where I apply it and with the right amount, gets absorb by skin quite fast.

Great New Year to Everyone.

Cheers to 2015!

What Should I call This?- Another Haul

Should I start calling this kind of haul Faux GMarket haul since everything I order from Bae Lu is from GMarket???

This probably is my largest online haul that my big Forever21 bag is hall full.  What can I do, retail therapy is addicting and I had lots of stress last year (when I ordered all these stuff).  Most of the items might already be familiar to you if you have read Just Sharing my Excitement post, I'll just put the links from GMarket if in case you're interested to order them too plus I also ordered some make-up stuff (can you believe that?).

nice boxed sets

First is from this shop that sells samples from Amore Pacific (I hope I'm not mistaken).  Here's the GMarket link to the shop.  By the way, recheck the links...the seller constantly change the items in his shop's links.

I got the IOPE Moisture Intense Miniature Set which includes a softener a.k.a. toner, an emulsion, a cream, a cleanser and a sun cream.  Each order includes 2 boxed sets and a freebie (mine is a 3W hand lotion) for 7,500won (I paid around P500 to Bae Lu).  You can check the set here or here.  I got two orders so that I won't have to pay extra local shipping fee.

I also ordered the IOPE Bio Activator samples (40 sachets plus 2 mask sheets as a freebie) which I will use as a serum.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find the item anymore in the shop...too bad there's a lot of good reviews with this product.

3 orders in total from IOPE

Next is from Laneige.  I am supposed to get samples of eye creams but the link that I gave to Bae Lu changed and got the Moisture Care miniature set instead which includes a softener, an emulsion, gel cream and the very famous water sleeping pack plus 2 sheet masks as a freebie (link can be found here).  I also got the Water Bank Essence (4 with 15 ml product content, link can be found here) and the Original Essence White Plus Renew (4 with 10 ml product content, link can be found here).  The price before for each order is 7500won (got them from Bae Lu around P500) but they are now priced at 9900won per order.

3 orders in total from Laneige

Sulwhasoo

Next is from this shop that sells high-end korean cosmetic product samples.  Here's the link to the GMarket shop.  Oh by the way most sample shop from GMarket has this mandatory freebie rule.

all from Sulwhasoo, well except for the pore strips

There's no way that I can afford a full size Sulwhasoo products so gorabels na me with samples.  From the Renewing Ginseng Line I got the face cream (3 pieces per order), the sleeping pack (3 pieces per order) and the eye cream (33 sachets) for 7500won each order (paid Bae Lu around P500 too per order) and got pore strips as mandatory freebies.  I also got the "basic" emulsion (6 pieces per order).

Unexpectedly, one of my Missha order was already included in the December shipment.  I got this Misa Essence when Missha was having a 50% off on certian products.  Originally it cost 13800won but got it for only P380 (which I think is already cheap for an essence).  GMarket link here.

Misa Essence, everything is in korean

Now for makeup.  I got the 3W Clinic Professional Natural Make-Up Powder (formerly known as Palgantong) in Transparent Pearl (number 10) for only P230, the cheapest I can find online (thanks Bae Lu for finally offering this in your online shop).

Palgantong

Last is from Clio which is my disappointment from this haul.  I guess, I didn't understand the promo and the translation is not correct so I got the wrong shade plus I didn't get what I expected.  I'm supposed to get two eyeliner: one black and one brown plus a lipnicure as a freebie instead I got one eyeliner in "Bloody Red" if I'm not mistaken and a pot of lip balm for P580...for me it's not worth it so, sorry Clio but I will not order from you unless it is super duper clearly indicated in your site the things that I will be getting.  Anyway, here's the link of their GMarket shop.

bloody wrong order

Oh my, Bae already knows that I'm a huge mask addict so it's not a surprise that she sent mask in sheet and in spreadable form as freebies and I'm very happy that I got the cream from the soybean line of Innisfree (I wanted to order the essence before but it's so darn expensive).  I wonder what kind of drink/tea though are those pack in pink?

love them!

Wow it took me two hours to edit everything.  Hope you enjoyed this haul.

Thanks for reading. Till then. Bye!

Just Sharing my Excitement!

I got excited when my seller friend Bae Lu sent me a message that my orders arrived last weekend and got stoked when I saw the pics of my order.  She even said she got happy while checking my orders.  Well, who will not get  happy with these stuff:

the mandatory freebies

No, the masks and hand creams are not my main orders but they are the mandatory freebies from the seller in GMarket.  It's "free" so why not?

fresh from the box with bubble wraps

From Laneige, I got the Water Bank and White Plus Renew Essence samples for me to try and a miniature/travel skincare set for an I don't know reason ahahaha...maybe I got overwhelmed with the shop in GMarket.

Laneige samples

Next is from Iope.  Not familiar with the brand?  Well if you are a subscriber of Michelle Phan's then you might have heard the Iope Air Cushion Sunblock Ex-Cover in her summer favorites video (you can watch the vid here).  I heard about the brand from Hope in a Blog but only learned from Michelle how to pronounce it :)

Iope is under Amore Pacific who is also behind Etude House and Innisfree.  You can check Amore Pacific's site here.

Next are from Sulwhasoo.

Sulwhasoo Samples

Sulwhasoo is a high end brand in Korea under Amore Pacific and there's no freakin way that I can afford their full sizes skincare products so I went for the samples.  By the time that I'm making my order, I have no emulsion that's why I ordered a lot but then I couldn't help but buy one when Etude House went on 20% sale so I guess I have two quarters supply of emulsion now?  Hehehe, I don't mind.

And as you can see there's a Missha bags in the photo.  I wish they are mine but they are for Bae Lu's other customer.  Dang, I should have ordered when there's a 1+1 event, now all I do is look at the photo (I hope the customer wouldn't mind ^^).

All photos are from Bae Lu's fb page from here https://www.facebook.com/bae.lu.fashion/media_set?set=a.682243881788928.1073741854.100000099676763&type=3.  You can like her facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/baeluBFCuisine to know what's the current promo from Korea.

I still don't have my orders as I asked her to wait for my Clio and maybe my 3W Clinic Natural Make-Up Powder before shipping all of these to me.  I'm excited for November, I smell Christmas!

Thanks for reading. Till then. Bye!
