Collective Haul: Gmarket, Adambeauty & Ebay

Wooops! Another haul(s)!! *Guilty*

I know, I know. I have been really bad recently. I don’t know, perhaps it’s just the job hunting stress or it’s just the ‘once you start, you can’t stop’ factor. After all, I haven’t been hauling that much since I came UK. Once I let loose the shopaholic side of me, I can’t be stopped!! Lol.

Okay, okay. Just kidding. I know myself. Hauling is always a seasonal thing for me. I can not haul for a lonnnngggg (maybe not that long =P), and then haul for some time and then stop again. You know what I mean? I’m just weird like that.

Okay, here are the stuff I got. Oh yeah, btw, my other Adambeauty package finally came in!! Phew…I was so relieved when I saw it the other day. Oh well, maybe I was just being paranoid. But it did take quite some time!




All the packages here. A collective haul from Gmarket, Adambeauty and Ebay. I know, another Gmarket haul within such a short period of time. But that place is just too addictive!! I was spending too much time browsing Gmarket and this is the outcome; a bigger haul than the first one. Anyway, I’ve stopped myself from browsing that site already. At least must stop for a while! =)

First up, the smaller packages.

From Adambeauty and Ebay

From left to right:

Adambeauty
Juju Aquamoist Collagen Moisture Milk - US$16.50
Kate Reflect Mirror Eyes Palette in PU-2 - US$13.00

Ebay (seller: alphabeautyuk)
My Beauty Diary Mask All-in-One 15pc Limited Edition Box Set - US$16.95

*All prices do not include shipping*

This is the first time I try Juju products. Have been using the moisturiser for a few days now. Will write a review when I’m ready. I ran out of sheet mask and I saw this limited edition box set from My Beauty Diary with 15 pieces of different masks and I grab it in no time! I’ve always preferred variety in my mask routine. I get bored if I stick to the same mask all the time! I just checked the seller’s Ebay site again, the box set is not available anymore. And I checked on Sasa.com as well, it is out of stock as well! Seems like this is selling like hot cakes! Sorry ladies, for not telling earlier.

Not that much right? Plus, the Adambeauty haul was a treat from the Boyfriend. Yay to bf who supports your love for beauty! =)




A close shot of the Kate palette. This palette is simply GORGEOUS!! Great for everyday neutral look. I’ve always love Kate palettes and this one doesn’t disappoint me at all. I’ve done a look using this once, will post it up soon. =)

Next up, the Gmarket haul. This time around, I picked up more Etude House stuff and some VOV/Castledew stuff. Mostly makeup with a couple of skincare products.

Inside the box of goodies!

Etude House LuciDarling Fantastic Rouge Lipstick in #4 (left) and #6 (right)

I was really disappointed with the freebies by Etude House this time. I bought so much more but the number of freebies shrunk so much more too!!  -_-

Let’s move on to VOV and Castledew stuff. I was so excited for these babies! =)

What I’ve got:

Castledew Diacut Eyes in M601 Platina Shinism – 10,380 Won (US$9.30)
Castledew Diacut Eyes in BE901 Planet Diamond – 10,380 Won (US$9.30)
Castledew Diacut Cheek in C901 Planet Love Dia – 10,780 Won (US$9.70)
Castledew Color Shot Eyes in GD240 Mystic Gold – 10,600 Won (US$9.50)
VOV Good-Bye Complex Dark Circle Concealer – 8.900 Won (US$8.20)
Be’Be’Co Coenzyme Q10 Toner sample – Freebie
Be’Be’Co Coenzyme Q10 Moisturiser sample – Freebie
2 sheets of PureTree mask – Freebie
VOV Goodbye Complex Mascara sample – Freebie

You see, the freebies from VOV and Castledew is tons better right? 5 freebies for 5 items I purchased. I’m curious though, if the mask is for men since the model on the cover is a man? Lol. I can’t read Korean and there’s no English description. But the pictorial direction at the back used a female face! Oh well, at most I’ll just use it on the Boyfriend! =)

I can’t help but to take the group photo with all the Castledew palettes closed. Isn’t the packaging is to die for? They are absolutely pretty!! Up-close shots of these babies below.

Castledew Diacut Cheek in C901 Planet Love Dia

Castledew Color Shot Eyes GD240 Mystic Gold

I’ve tried both the Etude House lipsticks and they are really creamy and pigmentation is great! Very similar to MAC’s cremesheen formula. I did my eye look today using the Castledew Platina Shinism palette and I so love it. We had a negotiation simulation in class today and the girl I was partnering with suddenly blurted out “I love your eye look today!” right in the middle of the negotiation. Lol!

Sorry for not providing any swatch in this post. They were so pretty when I was photographing that I didn’t have the heart to destroy their ‘perfection’. If any of you ladies want to see the swatches for any of the palette, do request okay? I’ll provide it then. Looks and reviews requests are welcome too. =)

That’s all for the long haul post.

Have a great day and thanks for reading!
