My private spree site

Category: , By @nGeline
Hv been realli excited about Gmarket ever since I got to know this website. It's the Korean version of amazon, whr they consolidated all items I ordered together in 1 box, n re-weigh the content. In this way, shipping is damn damn cheap.. haha

I hv jus started my 6th private spree, see
here. All my gal friends n my sista r so supportive, n all bought a lot of things. Thanks gal, n let's continue our crazy n cheap gmarket-ing!

SHILLS Whitening mud mask

Category: , By @nGeline

Bought this med mask thru my fren, who organized a spree from this local supplier (from above pic, address thr). I heard about this mud mask from some blogs, saying tat the texture is good, n amazingly a number of good comments on the effects. I tink will try on wed.

Here's the description from the box:


 


My 1st experience as spree organizer

Category: , , , By @nGeline
My 1st spree organizing experience is really amazing. Very smooth and fast :) thanks to all my friends who participanted with me :)

My main aim is to get Dr. Jart and BRTC BB cream. Heard they r very good, but the available ones selling in forum n ebay r quite expensive. I got mine at about $8-12 cheaper. So so so happy.

To my surprise, I received quite a number of free gifts from the diff sellers. Both my fren n I bought BRTC BB 30mL, n we got one 50mL aqua gel and one 30mL aqua serum. Faint... As for Dr. Jart, I bought a whitening+anti winkle BB cream for mum, n a rejuvenating BB for myself. I received 4 sample tubes, 3 diff types and two bottles nail polish remover. As for the Coogi BB cream order by my sis n frens, I received 2 masks and 2 boxes of facial cottons. I tink they realli like giving free gifts.. hmmm...


Right now, I hv 4 types of BB cream on hand. From left to right: Coogi flowertox 3action, Missha M, Dr. Jart+ silver BB and BRTC recover balm. Hv been using Missha n Coogi for the past 5 months, realli like the texture n lightness of the cream. Tis morning, I tried Dr. Jart silver, n I can realli see the diff from the other 2 creams.. The texture n coverage is superb.. Though it 2-3x more exp than Missha and Coogi, I guess it's really worth it! No regret buying. Hope to try BRTC recover balm soon.. lol

I happened to see nice clutch bags too. Tot of getting one for Sharon as her birthday is coming. The 2 I choose turn out to be expected. Nice texture n good quality workmanship I tink. Bought it for less than $20 ea. Hee :)

Still deciding which one to give Sharon... Haiz. Both turned out so nice lor =X
 


My Korean Earrings

Category: , By @nGeline
Ordered 8 earrings from Gmarket, thru smoochiez, but 2 of them were oos.. total payable is $31.04.. Hee so cheap :)

I took particular care about the size tat r stated in the webby, as I had quite a bad experience previously regarding some of the studs I bought. Turned out to b quite big, which I find the proportion way out of expectation.

Here r the actual pics of the earrings shown at the seller's online store. Quite disappointed with the pearl ribbon studs, as the color turns out a bit dull, not pretty at all.. sigh...


M154 $2.66
B19 $4.17
C59 $4.71
D14 $5.78
D63 $5.78
G17 $7.94

Both studs r quite pretty, esp B19. The stones r not too big, so look pretty in good proportion.



All in all, only D63 did not meet my expectation, others look pretty. G17 and D14 r super good-buy. Haha.. Realli happy about this earring spree trial. Guess I can buy more :)

Here's my earring collection, from sprees and shops :)

Realli bad spree-ing experience

Category: , By @nGeline
Items spree-ed: Bigi Bags from Taiwan
Quantity :2

Actually, bought the bags around 3rd week of Jan, before CNY, n just collected the bags. Can u imagine how Zzzz I m? Well, tis is not the most irritating part. I oredi know that TW spree takes more than 1.5 mths, so these 10 weeks of waiting is predictable.


Wat's most frustrating is the 2nd payment for exchange rate top-up, shipping n handling.


B4 this spree was open, I actually bought 2 bags from a Korean bags spree, which I paid about $50 per bag. The quality is good, design is expected as per picture, and I m realli happy to pay tat amount.

This Bigi bags spree, said to have 20% discount realli "looked" attractive to me (at tat time!) and I bought these 2 bags, intending to give one to a friend of mine as birthday present, the other one for my own use. OKAY.. here r the frustrating part..:

- One of these 2 bags does not have discount, which was only known to be when the organizer receiced the parcel. I do not see why she does not have the courtesy to ask if I wish to buy the bag without discount! Frankly speaking, most spree organizers will send a msg to double-confirm if we still wish to place order for the non-discounted item.

- I was charged 50cents per bag for handling (but it was stated 50 cents for handling, not PER BAG lor!) This is the last min thing also.

- I was charged about $1 per bag for Shipping company cash registration fee, where I m not aware in the 1st place.

- THIS IS THE BEST PART:::::: The total shipping cost for my 2 bags is $24.01, whereby my bags only cost $8.50 and $10.80 respectively! SO FAINT RIGHT!? one of the buyers forwarded copies of the receipt, n found some discrepancies, like the parcel has 25 bags (which we only hv 22), and total weight of 9.03Kg (the organizer sent a spreadsheet, which states total weight of 11.24Kg!). I m very sure the weight is being marked up, and the 3 mysterious bags belong to themselves, where we other buyers hv to split the cost!

Some of the spree-ers whose bags r in the same shipment were sending mass emails within ourselves discussing about the overcharging thingy. We have concluded tat this spree organizer is out to squeeze every little money here n thr for her own profit.

Sigh.. i feel better after writing all these. Realli realli irritating tat I hv to top up tat much of shipping! I hv written a very negative feedback, hoping tat she will not b able to post in spreehouse, and anywhr in sinagpore spree communities.
 


My Eyeko cream parcel

Category: , By @nGeline
Eyeko cream - can be used as moisturizer, foundation base and eye cream.

I only got to know this cream through a spree about 2 months ago. The organizer actually repacked the cream from the 35g original container into 7 5g samples, costs $2.24 each after postage. I find it quite good with cosmetics, can feel the shimmer after applying my BB cream :)


As eyeko is having free international shipping promo with minimum purchase of 10 pounds, Ee Ling bought the original cream, and for me, I bought the tinted cream. Seems like a popular choice as advertised, guess I shud try it too :) Paid using paypal, and the exchange rate was super good, 1GBP=S$2.209, so one 35g cream costs $11.09 for me :) so cheap right!

The disappointing thing is tat the free gift promo was over, so they gave me 4 facial wipes.. haiz... tot I will get free lip balm..

My 12-days break has finally ended, and started work for 7hrs oredi...

Recently, very crazy abt online shopping, aka spree-ing. dunno why..

Actually my sis started spree-ing long b4, n I alway scold her, wat's so good abt online shopping??!! cannot "see" and feel the item, super faint.. but I tink I m a crazier spree-er than her... frankly speaking, I realli feel good after I paid the money (thru internet transfer). Though I felt insecure during my 1st spree, whr I bought tat korean shoes, hesitated to confirm my payment while making internet transfer.. n the worst was tat the shoes were ready for collection while I was in India... Hmmm... turned out the quality is good, design is what I saw from the pictures, very good spree indeed..

Looking back, I have bought a pair of shoes, 1 eye shadow color palette, 1 makeup brush set, a pair of slimming socks, a pair of slimming thigh shaper, 1 waist shaper, 1 fashion tape, 1 cute mouse (for christmas), 2 Palantong Christmas gift set (cosmetics), 8 pairs of earrings and 1 necklace. Also, I have yet to receive my 2 packets of Meiji collagen powder, 1 pack of Kose masks, 1 jacket (for work) and 2 leather bags (can't wait to get these bags:)! ).

Realli amazed by the number of things I bought over the past 4 months... haha..
 


My slimming items have arrived!

Category: , By @nGeline
Hiak hiak hiak... Finally, my long-awaited socks and thigh shaper are here.. Jus called sis, n she told me she has gotten the items jus now ^^

Saw this spreehouse post about a month ago regarding products from a taiwanese show called "女人我最大". The spree-owner has a lot of items on sale, and they r reasonably cheap. Hee... I got the slimming socks and thigh shaper which are known to burn off calories while wearing them. Jolin Tsai actually recommended one of these 2 products during the show, saying that they r pretty good.

Sista will b coming down to my hse tis friday... so no choice, can onli see my stuffs 2 days later... waiting patiently........... =p

My recent "hook"

Category: By @nGeline
Right now, I m quite addicted to internet shopping - Spreeing is another term they use.

It's realli fun to see so many things I can buy over the internet. Internet bank tfer will do the job. I hv some trustworthy sources from frens whom some of their frens actually bought things from them too.

Livejournal Spreehouse - many organizers in tis webby. I bought a pair of leather bootie at S$33.50 only. Waiting for my shoes to b shipped now =)


Magical Tannsu - trustworthy source recommended by Ee Ling. I bought a 88 color palette =)

Probably will update all these good spreeing webbies at my side bar in future. At the moment, I will wait for my purchases to be delivered b4 I start my 2nd spreeing =p
