Gmarket buys #5 and 6

Alrighty, I'm finally posting about the latest batch of orders!

I just got my computer fixed so I don't have the pics for gmarket order #4, but I do have pics/reviews for batch #5 and #6 so I'll combine them and do those first. (Also, sorry about the image quality, I still haven't gotten around to installing Photoshop, so bear with me for now~~)

February purchases:


Brother's Purchases:




(^ this was from batch #5, the other two from #6)


My brother is really happy with his purchases. The red shirt seen in the second pic only cost roughly $2 he was also really surprised/happy about the quality of the shirt as it was better than he thought it would be, especially for the price! In the same pic, the hoody with the red devil is another purchase he is really happy about. He bought a size XL and it fits comfortable (though in Australia, he wears Men's size S lol).

The third pic with the racoon hoody was too a little too small and short for him - he bought size L. So in the end he offered to give it to me (and it fits snugly lol!)

So all the guys ordering from Gmarket out there from western countries - b careful about sizing! Korean sizes tend to run smaller than western sizes! Remember to check the measurements!!!

Now for my purchases, which I will focus on with more deeper reviews...



I bought this jacket for the coming winter in Navy and size M. (Ignore the guy in the pic lol, these are actually unisex haha)

★★★★★ (Rating: 5 out of 5)
Wearing the product... I'm glad I bought size M instead of S because its a little bit baggy (the way I like these sort of jackets to be) and is very warm and comfortable. For the price, which is roughly AU$10, I think this is a bargain. The quality of the material isn't bad at all and it'll definitely keep me warm in late/colder autumn and winter for sure! It looks exactly like the advertised image~~

I also ordered a simple, though cute canvas backpack to be used for university~~

★★★★☆ (Rating: 4 out of 5)
The actual thing I got was the exact same as what was advertised (excuse the bad lighting in my photo!). It's really cute, but a little too childish for university I think >w< style="font-style: italic;">a little bit bigger, it would be even better! (Though it can fit A4, but just bearly!) Still, a worthwhile product for roughyl AU$10!

(^The skirt in the following colour:)



★★★★★ (Rating: 5 out of 5)
I give both products a rating of 5 out of 5 because both appeared the same to be the advertised products and the quality of it was decent-good, especially for the price. Both cost roughyly AU$5 each. I adore the skirt - it's so cute. Its a pity that most of the colours ran out, so I had to get this one >w< I got this sweater in the black colour because I thought white would get too dirty easily xD

★★★★☆ (Rating: 4 out of 5)
I have a habit of buying dirt cheap items on gmarket xD Haha, I'm such a cheapo, but thats what I love love love about gmarket - the prices! This was part of batch #5... Its a nice fit, but i wish it was longer. The material is decent but I was surprised the the text actually puffed out a bit... I didn't know that it was meant to do that, until I actually looked at the stock image at the seller's shop more closely...




★★★★★ (Rating: 5 out of 5)
I actually forgot to take a picture of this to review... I've already worn this out and I absolutely love this shirt!!! It's exactly as pictured and will go well with many outfit combinations i.e versatile. I also like the design of the shirt xD

I got the above 4 items from a seller named vividsoda and I recommend their gmarket store to everyone!! I will be looking towards my future purchases with them~~

Finally, I also ordered this skirt but then it was out of stock ): It's such a pity! I was really looking forward to it so I could use it in this cute outfit I saw in a Japanese magazine!

Well, thats all for now~ I'll try to post the two items I ordered in buys #4 later on!

Oh man, I gmarket!

A long disappearance!

Hey! I haven't blogged in a long long long time for who knows why!

I returned from China over a month ago and I'll be starting University next week. Between that, I haven't been doing much (as usual!). If I get a chance, I may dedicate a few blog posts recounting the trip, just for the sake of putting the memory down on paper (i.e in words) so that I'll have something to read back on it in the future. My purchases weren't spectacular and I didn't get many opportunities to go shopping (alas, going with relatives to visit relatives, was, in my case, just purely for a 'to visit' purpose, rather than to sightsee and shop!)

In other news, we've ordered off Gmarket 3 times in the past month-and-a-half!!!! Actually, the latest package just came, which I'll do a review off once I open it!

I'll review my first and second orders eventually as well~~

On another note, if there is anyone out there with any questions about gmarket and anything else OR suggestions, please do voice that as a comment to this post or in the tagbox. (Sorry if I haven't responded, as I haven't been very active lately.)
