so I found that this set and it was just cheaper than buying individual.

I found this great bargain through Hope in a Blog, do check them out they are great. I have read great reviews about the Danahan RGII Premium EX cream and this seller had the cream plus loads of samples and two full sized products for just 98 000 WON, roughly $88.83 US.

Another product that I found through Hope in a Blog, is Chosungah Raw and so I went hunting for it on G-market and found this seller that had a special holiday gift set. 
Sorry this is now Out of Stock.

I found this Chosungah Raw Black Tonic, black ingredients were a big thing in Korea a 
few months ago. So I added this to my cart and I don't know how to use it. 
But I'm thinking based on the pictures that it's just like a toner??

Also from the same line I found that Chosungah had a make up line called Chosungah Luna
and I found this seller that had one of the full collections in one listing. 
When I was looking through the products I found that there were three extra items. I check the seller and that was actually listed there, I just didn't notice. !!

These aren't for me but I have the same powder that I brought off E-bay for a more expensive
price. Anyway there is a deal 3 for 10 000 WON.

G-market Haul #4: Part 1

Hello

A few days ago I received my order from G-market. This order is larger than my previous order because some of the items weren't for me. When I signed for the packages the postman told me that there was another box. 
 I was so surprised by how big the boxes were, but they were really light in weight. So I will be splitting the haul into two parts just because there are so many products to go through.
First up my order from The Saem, a few days before placing my order I noticed that The Saem had a massive sale and I really wanted to try out  their Chaga line out. But every time I clicked on the PayPal option in the checkout nothing would happen. So I e-mailed G-market and they replied saying that they have updated their site and they are trying to fix the problem. So in the end I missed out on the items I really wanted to try out and just some of the products were still on sale. This is what I got.

SELLER LINK: CLICK HERE
I actually got 2 sets, they were on sale for just about $9.00 US!!!
I got the Ardent Lady Powder, Ardent Lady Base and Tinted Foundation and the Ally's Ajell Jelly Lip Tint
    The Saem gave me that small box of cotton pads and a cute sized 2012 diary.

Next up Etude House had a 30% off their entire store for 3 days only so that was my chance to try out some new items from them.
SELLER LINK: CLICK HERE

Etude House are very stingy when it comes to giving out samples so I kinda knew they weren't going to give any samples with their sale. But I personally think that saving money is way better than getting a few samples.

 Next is The Skin House and they were/still having a massive sale. No samples giving out.
SELLER LINK: CLICK HERE
  Completely disappointed with the Snail Cream, I usually never open the box and check out the jar if I have a product I'm currently using, but i was so curious of the Snail Creams that I just had to and look at what I found.  

 See the seal in broken and some of the product was leaking out. plus there were finger prints all over it. I did try and contact the seller but I haven't received and e-mails from them. I'm really disappointed.
That's it for part 1.

G-market Haul #3

Hello, I'm so bad I haven't even got about to reviewing/using most of the items from my previous G-market hauls and I just keeping on buying more stuff. I blame G-market so been so addictive, I no longer can go to the site for "just" browsing I end up on the checkout page without even noticing my self anymore.

This what I look like when shopping online.
Now take a look at what I brought.
 Everything came in this HUGE box.
The inner boxes.
First up, MIZON, I have not heard/seen this brand before. I was mostly interested their BB cream. I did make a mistake I wand the Snail BB cream but actually order the snail eye cream. I'm not that mad because Snail cream are a huge hit in Korea right now.
MIZON
I brought the Watermax BB Cream, the snail repair eye cream and they had a special for the Sun Block SPF 50 PA+++, buy one get one free. They gave me 3 face sheet masks, a full sized eye cream and a small packet of various samples.

Holika Holika
Holika Holika had a great sale, and I managed to just settle with these items, the Daily Garden in green tea, acerora, aloe. The 3 seconds starter in the collagen and also the BB Roller cream. The rest were gifts.

                           
It's Skin the Prestige line     
The above two items were the most expensive items in my order, I have heard so much good reviews about these two, so fingers crossed. They gave me the mini gift set as a gift.
More It's Skin
I also got two of they Power 10 serums and the Prestige BB cream, another BB cream and they had a two for one sale on the sun screen.

And, last but not least Daal Story. I first heard about this brand on Hope in a Blog, and they said that Daal Story is a sister brand of Skinfood, which explains why it can in a Skinfood box.
Daal Story
I only brought one item, just to try out the brand and see if I like it. The serum was quite expensive, but when I got the item I noticed that it was a huge 100mL bottle, so YAY!!.

I love how fast everything arrived and plus this order I received about 5,000 Won back from my total shipping fee. But I don't know how to use it. 
Love

Naruko Rose & Snow Fungus Classic Hydrating Night Gelly and Night Eye Gelly

Hello

Yes!!! I'm on a roll I want to review all the whole Rose and Snow Fungus line. And today I will be reviewing two products the Rose and Snow Fungus Night Gelly and the Night Eye Gelly.
I will start with the Rose and Snow Fungus Night Gelly. Naruko describes this hydrating night gelly prevents the moisture loss and repairs the damages during the night time. The unique cocktail of essential oils and Phytoferulin complex comforts the dryness and helps promote a moisture barrier. 

It is recommended for all skin types, especially dry skin with fine lines and rough, enlarged pores.

I use this as the very last step of my daily night routine. The texture is slight milky in colour and is more softer than a normal gel type of product. This product is intended to be used as a sleeping mask, it is not meant to replace your moisturizer. 

I use about a cherry sized amount and spread it over my face and then rub my hands together until they are warm and press them into my face and just close my eyes and breath deeply. Since the products has a fairly strong natural rose scent, this producer kinda acts like a mini aromatherapy.      

This product dose take a few moments to fully absorb into the skin, but once it is absorbed it does not feel sticky whatsoever. 

Next up is the Rose and Snow Fungus Night Eye Gelly. Naruko describes this eye gelly is designed to nourish and hydrate the skin while smoothing away visible signs of aging. It reveals, clamed and moisturized skin.

This product is packed full of ingredients that help to repair the skin around the eye while you sleep. I also use this as the last step to my eye care routine. I use about a pea sized amount and use my ring finger to gently apply and massage the eye area. 

Both products shouldn't be used to replace your cream or eye cream. In the morning you wake up with super soft skin. I have noticed that when I don't use the night gelly my skin is not as soft and when I do use it. 

Both products to claim to help with fine lines but I haven't noticed any firming, but I do LOVE the soft well hydrated feeling I get from these products. 

Love

Naruko Rose & Botanic HA Aqua Cubic Hydrating Cream Review

Hello

I want to review the Naruko Rose & Botanic HA Aqua Cubic Hydrating Cream I have been using this cream for quite a good time now.
Naruko describes this cream as light, emollient moisturizer is specially formulated for normal to combination skin. It absorbs immediately into skin, restoring moisture for softer and more radiant skin.
  
I usually never get products that are recommended for normal skin because i tend to suffer for dry skin most of the year. But since the Naruko website is all in Taiwanese, I just blindly added this so that is completes my Rose and Snow Fungus set.

I have been using this as part of my morning routine, I use this as my second last step before applying sunscreen. 
 
It looks very thick and creamy, and kinda makes you think is this really good for oily/combination skin, but once you spread it out it instantly absorbs into your skin. I have been using this line during summer, in Australia, and so far this has been providing my skin with the perfect level of moisture. My face feels and looks baby soft and my sister has been using this product as part of her night routine and she just loved how it was giving her that soft touch in the morning without leaving her skin oily.  

It comes in a pump bottle, but its all white so it can;t really see how much product I have left in it.This also has the rose scent. I have another back up of this so I will try it during winter just to test how moisturizing it is for dry skin.

Naruko Rose and Snow Fungus Aqua Cubic Complex Review

Hello

Today my review will be about the Naruko Rose and Snow Fungus Aqua Cubic Complex. Naruko describes this essence/serum as the perfect solution for soft and healthy skin. the unique formula effectively moves through skin's surface for superb, deep hydration and further increases the skin's ability to retain moisture.

It's recommended for all skin types, especially for dry skin. 
Naruko Rose and Snow Fungus Aqua Cubic Complex
I use this serum after my Naurko Narcissus Total Defense Fundamental Serum, the lovely Fuzkitte told us that!!. The Naruko Rose and Snow Fungus Aqua Cubic Complex is slightly milky in colour and and as runny or liquidy  as most serum. I have been using it as part of my morning routine. I do think that does help with keeping my face well moisturized. However, I haven't noticed any of the other claims of helping with firming or anti-aging.

I must note that i hate the dropper application it comes in. Also if you are like me and love using the complete line of skin care, you should know that this comes in a 30ml bottle and so it finishes quite fast, actually you would need 2-3 bottles of this in order to use with the toner and lotion from the same line. This serum also as the same rose scent to it.

Other than that I do enjoy this line and the serum.

Love

Sakura
