Updated (23/6)

As promised, we have already placed orders for our gmarket haul #2 on 15th June and if everything goes well, our parcel will most probably reach us this Wednesday! Yippy.

Bought 15 items in total. However, two of the items (stationary) were canceled by the seller due to non-production of the products and OOS. A advice for everyone, if a seller had not post your product out within 3 days, as in there isn't any update of the status of the product (still "on request"), just post an inquiry to the seller. I just go to the item description page, scroll to the bottom, clicked the inquiry to seller, typed my inquiry on Google translate in English (use simple English), let it convert to korean for me, copy and paste it on the popped-up inquiry to the seller and not forgetting to write my order number. So that was how I know the two product was OOS and the seller canceled the order for me (so i dont lost any credit points!). =)

Anyway, will update once my order have reached. As promised. =)

Updated: 23/6

And so our parcel have arrived. Actually it arrived on Tuesday, the day when it reaches singapore, speedpost delivered it on the same day. However i was not at home to receive it (i wass late by 10mins and i saw the speedpost van drove away!), i rescheduled for it to come today before 1pm. =)

Our parcel!







And so here are the items tt we bought.

Lipstick: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=207131547









These are my favourite out of all the items i bought for this haul 2! bought 3 colours in total; no.2 for me, no.10 for my mum, no.20 for my sis. And i don't know whether the lipgloss is their free gift or it comes with each lippie that you buy. Anyway, for 15000won each, it's a great buy!

Diary: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=163289594




A cute and simple mermaid diary to fulfill all your needs and inspiration to write how you have spend the whole day..=)

Blouse: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=206597949







The material of this blouse is really soft. There's another beige version but i didn't choose it because it was too translucent. Took M size for this as the cutting is a bit large. So if you are buying any blouse from the link above, do take note of the measurement first before buying. Do not assume and jus take L size as it will really be too large. =)

Dress 1: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=205705808







Material is polyester. A very formal dress.

Dress 2: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=209022719







Material is.... cotton? silk? I'm not sure. However it's a very soft material and nice to touch. A bit elastic. A very pretty dress. Thinking of buying the pink version. =)

Dress 3: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=209022719







This dress looks nice on the seller's picture. However just as i had said earlier on the blouse's measurement (they are the same seller), cutting is on the large side. Although i took a L size, the cutting on the waist is too large for me. Although it comes with free belt (the ribbon), it is still very loose. So i think it will look nice on people who usually wear XL. Contemplating to sell this online. Do contact me if you are interested!

Dress 4: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=209022719







Similarly, the cutting is on the large side. The two tone colour makes this dress very unique.

Dress 5: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=209022719







Similarly, the cutting is on the large side. Same piece as the one shown above except that this is in pink colour. The two tone colour makes this dress very unique. However, for me it is quite loose and so i am contemplating to sell this. Do contact me if you are interested!

Dres6: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=192173793







Second time buying from this seller and i am always impressed with the quality of their dresses! Initially i wanted to buy two colour, pink and green of the same design. However, as it comes in free size, i was a bit skeptical and so decided to buy one piece first to try out the cutting and measurement. It fits! And so now i am itching to buy the green piece!

Shorts 1: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=161194510







Shorts here comes in size 88, which is XL. So for those large people who had always wanted to wear culottes, here is the place to shop! Material is on the rough side but is soft. Always great for a casual wear.

Shorts 2: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=205120375







Although this piece is also XL, the sizing in this shop is a bit small compared to the one above. However, after taking out shorts that i already have and comparing the measurement, i am sure this will fit me. Sure enough, it fits and is a bit loose too! Hurray! Another shorts shop for us large people!

And so here's what we have bought in our gmarket haul 2! Really please with the lippie. The design is so exquisite and pretty and femine. =)

I will be creating a post specially for selling those items that i can't fit in , with all the measurements and will be selling at a great price because i really wish those beautiful piece will find its rightful owner. =)

Stay tune for our next gmarket haul! i wonder when will that be...

UPDATED: 20/06/2011
(with own self-portrait pics)

And so after joining sprees and learning korean, we feel its time to venture out on our own.

So how did it all started?

I was contemplating on whether to join a particular spree and after calculating the total cost from joining the spree and the total cost if i were to buy directly from gmarket korea, the difference is only about $8! Furthermore, delivery by gmarket was via EMS! So I'm guaranteed to receive my items within 1 week.

And so, it was how the addiction started.

I placed my order on the 6th june 2011. Domestic delivery (delivery from the seller to the gmarket warehouse) was completed on the 9th june. Additional shipping paid (shipping was less than estimated) was deposited into my gmarket account. Parcel was then sent out from Korea via EMS and reached Singapore on the 11the june. However, since it's weekend, Speedpost was unable to receive the parcel. Item was received today (13th june)! Had it not been because of the weekend, I could have received my parcel earlier by two days! Efficient service by Speedpost as always!

So here's the thing tt we bought, 9 items in total, Price : 214,930 won, shipping :20,100 won.

*Beware* All are clothes!

How the parcel looks like:





Packages were filled to the brim!







6 packages meant 6 sellers!

Blouse1: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=201921185








Okay, so here's a peachy beige kind of colour and the material is silky and not transparent. Good material for the cheap price paid. On first sight when i saw the package, I thought oh no, why is it so shiny? I remembered on the seller's picture that it was a natural peachy beige without all those shiny stuff. But after wearing it, my fears were gone. It's beautiful! One point to note is that if you are almost the same size as me, do take notice of the hip area in the seller's picture. If the picture seems that the model fits nicely in the hip area, most prob you wont be able to fit in. I was lucky with this piece. =)

Blouse2: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=203742341







My first checkered blouse in my wardrobe! Thought it's a poly-fabric but no-no. It was made of soft cotton so its quite comfortable too. Colour is sweet and femine. They have it in another sky blue colour, where the pinkish part you see in the picture is in sky blue. That piece is more bubbly and bright. This blouse is quite big in the chest area although the shoulder part fits just nice.

Blouse3: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=203742341









Material is again soft cotton. Lace-y pattern on the back of the blouse. I just love the colour of the blouse! The purple colour is so pastel and sweet. One point to note, the front part of the blouse is a bit short to be able to tuck in. So if you want to achieve the style in the picture, forget about it. This blouse will suit Singapore weather and if you are going for casual look. =)

Dress4: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=205897679









This dress is awesome! Material is those cotton type which is not very elastic. So a word of advice, do check the measurements on the seller's picture and make sure ALL (especially shoulder and chest area) suits you! A navy flare dress is a classic that should be in every little girl's wardrobe. =)

Dress5: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=205897679









A very sweet and femine piece of dress! Material is polyester-type and so its very soft but is not so elastic. So, the advice above applies here too. Again another flare type kind of dress. So what does that means? It's a "flare" year! Grab it!

Dress6: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=192173793









Love @ first sight. The peachy beige colour with a elastic waist and a black skirt all in one piece, with small details such as the heart button, pls tell me how NOT to resist this one! Initially i have doubt in getting this one as one advantage of the elastic waist is no matter how big your tummy is you will fit in it. But another disadvantage that many of you will overlook is, it will make fat people fatter? This is because the elastic band is "stuck" at your tummy, which is the biggest part of your body. And so it will accentuate that part of the body. I dun have very big tummy but have a thick waist so it doesn't really look nice on me. And my arms are flabby so with the short sleeve...=( I'm thinking of ideas to make it into my prefect piece. I'm good at altering clothes that changes a shirt to a short or making a dress more tight fit. So i decided to perhaps take out the elastic band and wear the dress with a thick belt. =)

Jacket7: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=169880308







I went to the seller's webbie and couldn't find this jacket again. Sorry for not able to provide a original picture for this product.

Was a little disappointed with the colour and material of this product. Why? Because from the pictures provided by the seller, the colour was a darker brown, not in this lighter brown. Moreover, I had translated the type of materials/fabric used and it's mainly poly. So the jacket should be a little more soft and light weight. However, this jacket was more of a cotton material and when wore with a shirt or something else, it will be warm. Might not be suitable for everyday wear in Singapore. So i pray that when i have intention of wearing this the next day, the next day will rain LOL.

Jacket8: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=183042941









Decided to bought this long jacket because i guess i've seen too many korean drama where the actress will wear a shirt/blouse with shorts/shirts and match it with this kind of long jacket. So what's the effect? You won't look too casual and it's chic. You may think wow! Am i going to seems as if i've just done suana? Dont worry. The material of this jacket is polyester. Yes i love polyester because its soft and feels nice on your skin LOL.

Jacket9: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=183042941









Don't ask me why i get this colour. Isn't it difficult to match clothes? I don't know. I have not experiment with it yet. Oh wait. I will tell you why i decided to get it. Because i like blue. And i know it doesn't look blue here because it's mint-blue. =) I just like the bright colours and that you can rarely see ppl wear this kind of jacket colour in Singapore. Maybe i just want to be the minority. =)

And so that's all for our first Gmarket haul!

Tell you what, Our shopping cart in korea gmarket have already 7 items! And so i guess the next order wont be too far from here!! So what will we be buying in the second one? Dress dress and more dress. And stationaries. =)

So do keep a look out for our next gmarket haul!
