Gmarket .... steamer, Chanel Inspired, Wallets & Facebook!!!

Steamer

I've been debating if i should spend 500+ on a Panasonic Cold & Hot Nano Steamer. To be accurate, its $599. So expensive

Then I saw this......... looks COOL!

I thought its hot water but it stated as 'Face Cool'. I think this is to be placed inside fridge and just put on yr face to cool down yr face. Great after u extract those blackheads and dirts from yr pores!

and the price is cheap!!!!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the range of Chanel Inspired Makeup Pouches. Dont they look cute and at a cheap and affordable price? This is from my favourite seller @ Gmarket!

Coin Purse - LV Inspired

Ok. this is what I have bought from the same seller. I have bought 1 red leather bag (costed abt 79000Won) , the pink coin purse and the sheepskin wallet listed below.


The pink coin purse is really cute! Dont have to spend $200+ on a Louis Vuitton Venis Coin Purse. This is enough and has slight "bling" in the leather.

Sheepskin Wallet

I really love this wallet! Its very nice and the crystals *bling bling* is my favourite.

The quality of this wallet and brand is great. I have bought 2 earlier from the same seller and now I am buying this even though the others are still new.

Recently for my trip to Paris, I have bought 2 Chanel Bags. One of them is a lambskin. The quality is comparable!!! This sheepskin wallet leather is of very good material too. Soft and looks classy. I dont think I even need to buy a Chanel wallet. This is much more better.

Some girls whom have metallic Chanel handbags are complaining that the metallic part has been wear off after use. This wallet only have the edge wear off (metallic gold coating) but the wallet surface is still as new although I have keep it together with pens and keys.

So seriously, i think the quality of this wallet is really very high! :P

I am not sure if I should buy another one for 'standby' because I really like this wallet. I like it more than the other 2 I bought earlier.

Gmarket on Facebook!



Gmarket has been on facebook for quite some time. I didnt know about that and only join the group in Nov or Late Nov.

Although I've been a member of the Gmarket Facebook, i didnt read things up until recently.

If you can see from here....... someone asked abt Best Brand Ginseng etc.
Another Qn (not shown here) is about shampoo shipment to be shipped outside of Korea

The Gmarket officer is really extremely helpful!

With my orders of wallets and bag, I have also bought few bottles of masks. However, its powder masks and I received a Korean instructions. The seller is unable to provide English instructions and asked me to refer to that paper.

Now, I am going to scan that piece of paper and upload to facebook. Then I will ask Facebook Gmarket staff to help me with the translation! Its even easier than leaving them a msg on Gmarket site.

Of course if u have any disputes or qns regarding yr shipment, payment etc, going back to the gmarket korea website seem a wiser choice.

I really like Gmarket because its like a big family. I have tried Jshoppers etc but Gmarket is my favourite!

Too bad they dont ship Samsung robots out! Otherwise I will have a 'korea maid' LOL.

So what are you waiting for? Join Gmarket on Facebook!!!

Ohhhh whose coming?!?!

Woowoooow

I am going to throw away my mop soon! Yippe. Actually i dont use mop. I am using the 3M Cloth & Stick to 'mop' the floor.

Anyway my maid (aka Domestic helper!) is coming!!! Yippeeee!

The maid wont be provided via any maid agency (No agency fees)

The maid wont have holidays

The maid wont have to fly to n fro from here to her home country for holidays

No need to worry abt pregnant maid (then the security $ or whatever will be confiscated)

No need to pay for maid food expenses

ah............ Let me present a picture of the domestic helper .......

.. Domestic helper #1 will arrive in another few days time

Domestic helper #2 will arrive maybe by next wk.

Have a look at my maid flight. She's now up there among the clouds, wow happening ah

Back from Europe!

Hi Hi

Not sure if much people have been following this blog but I have just returned from my Europe trip. Its very fun meeting people from different countries around the world.

My tour mates are from Australia, Canada, USA, South Africa etc. We are the only 2 Asians in the group.

I like it that they have seat rotation on the coach bus and everyone will have chance to be in the front n back (which is cramp).

Tour director and driver are great. The trip is like 'merry go round' in Europe and its always eat, on bus, visit site, take pics, on bus, eat, sleep etc. Thus, I have gained 3kg on my trip.TSKTSK

I always like to try different and local cuisines while abroad. I must say that there will be NO pizza n pasta for me for the next 1yr and 6mths respectively.

ok......... i just saw part of my phone bill and its freaking me out

Just 6days and i only have 6 calls made = charged = 70+!!!

RIDICULOUS! There's a lot of calls being charged. I called Singtel, NOW they tell me that if someone called me and i didnt pick up the call, I may or may not be charged. WTF They never tell me this.

So its like someone called me hear the ringing tone and I might or might not be charged!?! (according to overseas provider). ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz might as well dont bring my phone overseas or keep it off. Damn it

Check Overseas Shipping Fees

This is what I do to check my International Fee Order (After Domestic Delivery has completed).



You will see "International Shipping Fee Completed"
Click any of the url (things you have bought)...





As I ordered plenty of things, this page is rather long. It will have the individual orders (split into 2 links if i have 2 orders combined together)... just scroll down the page until you see this


"Overseas Shipping Fee Infor"


In this case, Estimated shipping weight is 20.40kg, Actual is 2.54kg and I was charged 31,000Won for the shipping

Right now, Pending status. If u plan to use the balance for yr 2nd combine order, my suggestion is to buy more things from different sellers for the 1st order. So by the time the $ has been transfer to Cash Balance, u are still able to place 2nd order with the Cash Balance and combine shipping for both orders.

My Gmarket Loots! Love Gmarket!

EMS BOX

Whats inside the Grey Bag...

Excluding the one with stickers "Fragile" etc. Thats from another seller.

I thought this book looks big from the pic but well IRL, its rather small. Guess thats what Cash Book supposed to be! Walk around with it and jot down the expenditure hehehe

The quality is good and wordings in English

Cash Book II - Money Matters

Of course money matters! Thats why I didnt spend more than 8,000Won on a cash book hahahaha

Anyway, this is really cute! The wordings are in English and they have pics too. This is purchased from another seller as the one selling the 'Her Table" seller does not have this. I will say this is the better one and at lower price!

I bought so much things that I cannot really remember where I buy them from! But i still have to refer back to my Gmarket order so that I can give a proper, decent reviews on the items purchased......

OHHHHHHHH I remember now! The lipsticks and the mini handphone strap (anna sui inspired) are free gifts from the seller that take the LONGEST time to ship my items out. #$^%&@!%#!@)!

:P

While the rest of the items are already "Delivered", this seller still didnt send out my items until the 5th day of the order. Initially I am worried that the order didnt really go through because I have no money? hahaha

NEHHHHHH...... this is never the issue. Opps... Not that rich but no need to worry about this.

The reason is because I have placed 2 seperate order of 1 pc each for the luggage version2. I am worried that the seller might give me 1 instead of 2 if i ordered under the item. So i seperate them. Its safer.

Once bitten twice shy...... so ever since the earrings nightmare, I am worried about ordering same item for > 1 Qty

Oh yes, items from this seller is not in a box but come individually packed in the EMS box. I think they have shipped in a big box and Gmarket or the Korea PO guys helped me unpacked the box and just put the items into my EMS box. All of them are individually sealed by bubble wrap.

I have ordered 2x Version pack2 luggage organiser , 1 shoe plastic organiser and the 'Her Table' cash book. I think total is about 30,000Won because the version pack2 costed 9800Won *each*

Oh yes I also have one Luggage tag from this seller if I didnt rem wrongly. Its right at the end of this post. Lazy to bring up the pics.

Freebies: Handphone strap is a mirror! Lipstick is a pen! 귀여운!

Overall, I wont mind ordering from the seller again (although shipped out 5days later) if I dont find the items I want elsewhere... and also they have decent freebies too!!! :P

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Freebies II

I LOVEEEEEEEE freebies. hehe

This is another set from another seller. I think I spend >50,000Won from this seller?

Ibought a lot of things from this seller. I bought few polaroid albums, Camera Bag (20,000 or 21,000Won) etc from this seller.

These are the freebies............

a sticker, 3x5" "album" , a pen and a cookies!

The cookies is a mirror! 귀여운! 귀여운!........

Thanks to the order of pics I have taken in my camera, otherwise I cannot remember which freebies come with which items. There's so many things to check and I have to print out my order, translate them in English and tick the items as I go through them. Luckily I learnt basic korean. PHEW

Fav Seller!

This is one of my fav seller. I have spend about 20,000Won or so and the seller gave me 2 free gifts!

WHats more... the seller dont charge shipping at all! Ship the items promptly. A*** Seller. I have bought Bernice stickers, Travel Book and the Jewellery DIY stamp from this seller.

Polaroid Accessories!

Yippeeeeeee my items are here! These are the ones I'm most looking forward to. and also scare if the color isnt the same as shown on the site. Luckily, they look almost the same as on screen. PHEW!!!

I have ordered 3 different sets of Polaroid items from this seller. With different add on items.

Each order has 1 strap, 1 Disney Character Film, 1 normal Pack Film and 2 batteries... Another order has additional 10rolls of stickers added to it. The seller also packed 2 additional stickers for me. I think he missed out 1 more. Coz he packed one sticker with each seperate order.

The red strap is rather dull in real life. Wish its brighter red and Not this red.....

The hot pink strap is really HOT PINK!!! (Sheesh....blogspot dont have a decent pink font) Very pretty! Going to match that with my Polaroid camera. I will use the blue with my Lumix camera. The strap is pretty expensive at 7800Won or so. Handmade and made in Korea

Like I have mentioned, the exchange rate of Korean Won to USD and BACK to SGD is not that good compared to us paying Korean Won. We end up paying *more* SGD and the polaroid stuffs are not that value for $$$. HOWEVER, We dont have such pretty straps in SG (or because I didnt do my homework).

The expiry dates of the Disney character is 2010 or 2011. Cannot rem. I only remember the normal mini films is 2011 03 Expiry date.

2nd Polaroid Accessories Seller

The free gifts! But plsssss the hamburger case is NOT the free gift. I wish it is. Boohoo. The Instax coupon I have no idea what thats for.

I bought a 50Films pack from this seller at 32,000Won or so. Add another few dollars for 10 Pens, 3 Popcorn pens and 2 Instax Bags.

The expiry date of the Films is 2011 04

Original Instax Hardcover Bag, Pola Bag.

The bag is about this color (above pic) but just slighter darker... but still not as dark as the pic below. I wish its more glossy and like the color below. Workmanship of this Pola Bag is SO SO. Looks dry, as if going to break any time soon and the sewing at the corner.... the threads came out. Zzzz no wonder it gets pretty lousy rating at the 'standalone' selling post. However, this is already OOS so well, still ok lah dont be fussy. Still pretty bag.

The blue instax bag is really good and at 10,000 or 11,000Won only! SG i didnt see them selling this. Too small market for instax.

Polaroid Albums

These are from the seller I received the cookies freebies. Nice right. The 'Good morning' album is 4x6" whereas the others are polaroid mini albums. Cute cuteeeeeee!!! And u know, the girl is 'red riding hood'. and i HATE wolf so I didnt choose the albums that have wolf inside. hehehhe black wolf. Nehhhhhhhhh

cant imagine buying Japanese stuffs off Korea's site.

This album is good but the top left hand corner is like stained with glue. Dark color. Looks dirty. Wasted.

Luggage Tag

This is the writing pad. Free gift from the Fav seller I mentioned earlier.

Oh yea, no more 100,000Won from Gmarket. Its 50,000Won. think must say some mushy words right.......

I love Gmarket!!!

but Gmarket is bad for wallets. opps..........."blacklisted"
