Gmarket spree #ilostcount; Missha, Mizon and Etude House
08:46
I had this spree planned in June already
but something went wrong and in June I couldn’t have stuffed shippend from
Korea to China so I had to hope for Missha to have a sale in time for me to get
my order here in July. Luckily this was exactly what happened and my package
was here 8 days after I made the payment.
I wanted to use the final opportunity to
ship my order to China because a.) shipping is much cheaper and b.) because for some reason I never have
to pay the customs here.
This time I bought a bunch of stuff from
Missha (pretty much my favourite brand, even tho they can get pricy sometimes,
especially when you’re buying from abroad) and Mizon (I love their Snail
Recovery Gel so much).

I’ve been frequenting Gmarket at least once
a year, even twice if my financial situation allows for it for about 3 years
now. I usually go for Etude House, Missha and Mizon products both for the
prices and for the quality, even though Missha does use too many parabens for
my taste.
I adore the cute packaging Etude House
products have and also the fact the make good quality make up products,
especially their eye shadow primer, unbelievably good ( good as the one from
E.L.F. I highly recommend either of them). Could not do my make up without it,
because you know, extremely oily lids :/ One thing I always wanted to do in my
early high school years was eye make-up, but I could never make it stay even
for 2 hours so I never tried…but then again, it’s probably for the best, gave
me the 2 years I needed to improve my make-up skills in the privacy of my room
and not show my lack of experience to the rest of the world ;)
What I really like about Missha products is
how the product packaging looks. Let’s be honest, it’s the packaging that first
gets the attention (and then after you see the ingredients, well sometimes you
just put it back on the shelf). Anyway, Missha has the nice, sophisticated
looking products and lately that’s just the look I like going for. I first
heard about them I think 5 or even 6 years ago when the BB cream boom in Asia
was starting (has already started) and since then I’ve been using their Perfect
Cover BB Cream, recommending it to my friends and always coming back to it no
matter which other BB cream I tried.
For Mizon, I only heard about them about a
year and a half ago, Gmarket probably just started promoting them more and
after that I noticed their snail secretion (or whatever, this sounds really disgusting
haha :D) and bam, feel in love with their products as well :)
