The box was massive when it arrived and I thought to myself I didn't that much stuff how come the box is soo big. But when I opened the box it was mostly empty and there an around 4-5 smaller boxes within. All safety bubble wrapped which was really nice.
I really recommend shopping from Gmarket when you are buying Korean cosmetics especially if they are on sale period like right now there are a few brands like Banila Co, It's Skin and Missha are on sale which would be cheaper compared to buying on other shopping websites. I will purchase more from Gmarket if there are more sales for Etude house since their products are really cute and nicely package also the price is really good as well which is why I currently really like this brand.
I first started to browse Gmarket for the TN products which are advertised by Kim So Hyun starred in two very famous dramas such as Moon that embraces the sun and I miss you. But this brand was previously endorsed my Miss A Suzy. I saw only one place that sold this brand available for worldwide shipping since this is a unique brand that can't be found elsewhere and I found it on ibuybeauti.com. Firstly when I browsed their prices they seemed reasonable but when I searched it on Gmarket they were much cheaper and they sold some of their products in sets which were still cheap compared to ibuybeauti since they sold all their products individually.
Etude House has a 30-50% sale so I could not resist on both their cosmetics and skincare so I picked the best items that I really wanted to try out ^^. The total amount I purchased including shipping was £134.14 which is equivalent to 197.46 usd. May seem like a lot but if I did purchase the same the same items but from eBay and ibuybeauti the total amount would have been larger. But obviously the downside for Gmarket as always is the expensive shipping but of course, as an experience shopper I have calculated everything and found buying from Gmarket is the cheapest still.
The items I bought are the following (all prices used PayPal to convert):
TN AC set (Cleanser + Toner + Lotion) - £14.79 but if brought from ibuybeauti would have totalled to £33.95

(Sorry don't have a picture of this since I won't be opening and using this until I go to University)
I was actually expecting more samples from Etude House since I did spend quite an amount on their official Gmarket store. But they didn't give me any samples. I have read many Gmarket haul blogs and many people purchased from Etude house has received many samples but I didn't receive any at all. Which is quite disappointing. But I did receive a few samples where I brought my TN products. I will be reviewing most of the makeup products since I won't be using the skincare until I go to university which will be around September time.
Thanks for reading my post!

Hi there, yes, I am also a gmarket lover. Their price is way cheaper than other website if u r after korean skincare products. Would like to know how's tn AC and brightening set working out on your skin? Which one would u recommend? I have been using tn fresh set, live their scent,a simple range of skincare but worth for its price :)
ReplyDeleteHi, First thanks for reading my blog I really appreciate you for reading it and commenting. I will be using these products soon and need a few months to know if they have affect to my skin. But if you have acne skin right now I recommend you getting a pore brush this really helps to clear your skin as it cleans your skin better than hands. I am going to write a review on Etude House's wonder pore brush soon as well. Stay tune for that ^^
