It's Skin Color Play Sugar Gloss
Price : 3000won (I think)
Color : 08

What's with all the Korean Makeup Brands Having sugar lip glosses? Holika's Sugar syrub gloss,  Skinfood's honey gloss, and more.... It's odd.

Why I picked color 08, an orange pink, I don't know......
Maybe I was trying to find something that goes with my Canmake cream blush that is
really peachy.....

Regardless, the Color is completely different on!!!You can seen in the picture it doesn't look orange (or peach) at all!!!

I do have very pink lips, but still! It basically looks clear with a little bit of sparkle!

It has a lovely taste/scent, it's fruity and lasting.  It's reminds me of some sort of candy. Maybe that explains the name.... Honestly, I love a lipgloss that taste nice, I end up tasting it, it's good if you are getting friendly ;) , and it's just a nice change from lipstick!

It starts out thick, but melts a bit when on. So it applies thinly,  and doesn't last at all. It's also not very shiny. It becomes more matte very quickly.

All in all it's not a successful lip gloss. The color is too ambiguous and weak, the taste is nice, but it isn't shiny and doesn't last.

The Faceshop Apple Hand cream

The Faceshop Apple Hand cream

 Price : 4,400won ($4)

Size : 30ml

I may be addicted to hand creams…. My hands always end up so dry! I think It’s because I hand wash so many dishes.

A lot of Korean brands have been coming out with Fruit shaped Items, possibly ripping of the Japanese B&C which has been doing fruit shapes for ages.
So has Tony Moly. Now Bavi Phat is into, and the Face shop, and I am sure I have seen stuff at other shops!!

The Faceshop apple hand cream smell divine!  It smells like apple, still like perfume, but there is a freshness, and a realisticness to the scent that makes it enchanting.
The cream itself is really nice. It’s surprisingly white(Most moisturizers tend to be cream colored). It absorbs well, and has an almost gel-cream like texture. It does leave a bit of a greasy layer. I know some people hate that!
It’s really not bad though, it just leaves hands a bit slick. Just a bit.

All in all it’s a really nice hand cream, but other than the scent it isn’t anything special!

Help! What are these for??????

Hi! I need your help :D
I bought the Holika Holika Egg soaps without knowing how to use them!
....
I love Holika stuff that much!!!

So do you know what they are for??

The picture shows people rubbing them on their face.....

See? They are rolling them across their faces!!!

Am I supposed to use the like a facial soap? Lather and wash?
Or are they hand soaps???
Or are they supposed to be used dry????

And why are there 4 different kinds???
Are they meant for boys?????

I am guessing charcol is for serbrum removing....
But what about White egg(What does that mean?Is it made from eggs?), red clay and green tea???


Oh, and is that CN Blue in the picture?


Thank you for you ideas :D

Etude House - Bottle!

Etude House Pump bottle
Price 3000won
Contents : None!

So this is not a very exciting purchase, but I was super excited!!! Why? Because it is PERFECT for Konading (It's a verb because I say so :P )
So this little bottle is empty, which makes 3000 won a bit expensive...... I'm not so keen on the pink, especially since Holika sells a lovely purple one in stores(Actually all of the Korean in-store brands seem to sell their own version!), but not online! So I had to settle for Etude house pink.

But since the top flips up, and it has a push down release, it is just so easy to use!

It is such a pain to try and tip nail polish remover onto a little Q-tip, especially when your nails aren't perfectly dry! I always end up tipping some on to the floor..... It drives me nuts!


I bought 2 bottles, one for eye makeup remover, and the other for nail polish!

And I am happy!

More details on my g-market haul!!

So what I spent on G-market was $240 in Stuff, and $60 in shipping.

This is super reasonable in my opinion since I bought over 30 items (40 something in fact), including 5 glass bottles!!!

I sent a tiny box to Korea from Canada, it cost me $80 (express post!) I sent it the day before I ordered stuff on G-market, and the package I sent still hasn't arrived! All that was in it was baby clothes!

*sigh*

The Sellers,

In case you aren't familiar with G-market(or haven't bought anything from there yet!), all of this stuff was bought from different sellers.  So all the Etude house stuff came from the same mini shop, but all the Holika Holika came from another shop.

I've added links to all the mini shops I used for this order. I would recommend all of the EXCEPT Tears, the Foundation was all leaky and gross, everywhere on the inside of it's box.  
All the other sellers wrapped things beautifully.

Massive G-market haul!!!

 So I went a little crazy on G-market......  But I've been sorely missing Korea, and running out of beauty essentials, so I bough a  TON of stuff on G-market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my haul!

4 Cleansers
2 toners
2 moisturizers
1 sleeping pack
7 nail polishes (including 2 sets of 3)
4 egg soaps
1 foundation
1 BB cream
2 sunscreens
1 mascara
1 Konad plate rest
1 JUMBO eyeliner
3 lippies
1 highlighter
2 eye shadows
1 pair of arm sleeves
1 set of nail protectors
1 Giant Decal
1 Peel

...... I think that's it!!!

PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I arrived home from work, a long, exhausting day, to check my g-market. I place an order a couple of weeks ago(really a week and a half) and have been eagerly awaiting it's arrival.

So I log on to g-market only to see this......

..... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that the most devastating site ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luckily, my little brother found a delivery notice tacked to the door. It wasn't a failure, I can pick up the package tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The post office has it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
