Haul Post: Etude House End Year Promo

31st December '12

Every mall's last day of End Year Sale!

I'm paying attention oh so very close to Etude House Indonesia's facebook page for their promo every month. And if i think the promo is quite big or if they're giving 100% cash back, i literally dragged my mom to the car and went there when i have time.

This month promo, Etude House booth at Atrium Mall Taman Anggrek is giving 70% discount from Dec 10 - Jan 6. They also giving 100% cash back but it's at Pluit, which is so far from my house. >_> So, i dragged my mom to Etude House Mall Taman Anggrek instead, aiming for their 70% discount.

Review: Etude House Milk Talk Body Wash #1 Strawberry & #5 Chocolate

Hi again ladies! 

And here's another Etude House review. :3


Product Name
Etude House Milk Talk Body Wash


Product Name
Milk Talk Body Wash #1 Strawberry Milk


Product Name
Milk Talk Body Wash #5 Chocolate Milk

Packaging
Cuuuute!  I love the strawberry and the chocolate illustration in the middle. As for the color of the bottle, somehow i prefer the chocolate more. Maybe because Etude House is 'pink' that's why i was like "oh, pink, cute.." but the chocolate one remind me of Cadburry's chocolate milk or hot chocolate (..okay, now i want one.)

Size
200ml. Quite big..

Unfortunately, the chocolate is still sealed. :( So yeah, that's how the cap look like.

Texture
Has milky & watery texture.. Just like Etude House Silk Scarf Hair Treatment but with a different color. The strawberry one has soft pink color, and the chocolate one has light brown color. The fun starts once it's mix well with water, it'll turn bubbly and foamyThere are two ways to use them: 1) with their sponges, 2) with bare hands.

Scent
Smells like strawberry & chocolate. 

Likes
- cute bottle
- has great smell
- brighten & soften your skin

Dislike
- pricey for a body wash
- only has 5 choices

Mine last for a month for each bottle and i already finished two & still have one in stock. >:) This cute body wash is available at every Etude House branches for IDR 138000 with 5 different choice: Strawberry, Banana, Apple, Steamed Milk, Chocolate. I've also smelled (....?) all the other choices while i was visiting Etude House brances, here's my opinion: the banana smell oh so great & stronger than any other choices! It makes you literally wanna eat a banana! The apple smell exactly like when you eat and chew an apple. And the steamed milk one smell minty milk (?) somehow. You get it? :|

Overall, i would recommend you the strawberry, chocolate, and banana. But it's okay if you want to try the others. :] 

Anyway, pay attention to my Etude House Missing U Bee Happy Hand Cream #1 Queen Bee Story, especially at the end of the post. >:3

Good night and stay gorgeous ladies! 

Review: Etude House Missing U Bee Happy Hand Cream #1 Queen Bee Story

Hi lovelies!

First, Merry Christmas! (Gosh, i'm so late..) I don't celebrate Christmas but it wouldn't hurt just to greet you guys, rite? And now i'm going to make another review after coming back from grandma's place. And guess what? It's another product from Etude House! Xixixi.. >:3

Before, i have never ever ever wore or consider myself to buy a hand cream. I prefer cleaning my hands with water and soap, that's it. And if one of my friends brought a hand sanitizer, i ask her (mostly a she, never a he) to borrow some. And this time, i bought myself a hand cream. Not because of the ingredients in it or the smell or how cheap it cost or most of the girls bought it, no uh. This one, i bought it PURELY because of the uber cute yet attractive packaging. I just can't stand just looking at it! >.< Must.. have.. one.. Lol.



Product Name
Etude House Missing U Bee Happy Hand Cream #1 Queen Bee Story

What a mouthful for a hand cream, dontcha think? -.-

Packaging
So cute! In fact too cute! I love the antenas and the wings the most. It's dominated with pink and brown stripes at the bottom. The jar is made of plastic and it's 100% recyclable! Also, if you bought this your money will be donated to the endangered bees. I'm so touched. :{ I feel like i already saved them. *sniffs* lol.

Size
The size for me is too small but at the same time it doesn't take much space in your purse. Your fingers must be clean since you need to poke inside the jar, which is not hygenic. And also, it doesn't contain a lot of product inside. :<

Texture
Has THICK texture when you tried to poke inside.

Scent
Flo-we-ry

Here's how it look like on my hand

See how thick it is? O.O

Good thing it blends easily. Reminds me of toothpaste.

Aaand tadaa!

Once, my dad almost throw it away while we all cleaning the house. Good thing i noticed something was missing and searched for it right away. I told and showed my dad that it's not just an empty jar, it's a hand cream! >:( And oh, after  you used all of the product, you can save the jar for anything you like; a place where you save your earrings or something small or just for a decoration in your room. :] This is also a perfect gift for your friends and families! 

Likes
- Cute yet attractive packaging
- Eco-friendly
- Flowery scent
- Moisturizing

Dislikes
- Pricey
- Size too small
- Comes in a jar

Where To Get
Available at every Etude House branches. I don't know the exact price but it think it's around IDR 138000. I bought mine from Etude Clover through pre-order for IDR 70000.

Have you already purchased them? Which bee story did you get and what's your favorite? Do tell. :D

Btw, my birthday is coming soon, so, should i held my first giveaway? What do you think? What kind of product do you want? Eyeliner? Lipstick? Nail polish? Do tell. [:

Bye for now!

Review: Etude House Essential Foam Hyaluronic Acid

Hello lovelies!

So, last week i was supposed to update with a new review, but last Saturday i went to Mall Kelapa Gading and planned to update my blog after i went home, but i decided not to 'cause i suddenly vomit in the mall. :& I also got fever and my body's suddenly get warmer and warmer as time passes. My head hurts a lot, i can't even see where i'm going, i look extremely pale. Wearing 12cm wedges when you can't see what's in front of you, with a headache, plus the feeling after you threw up is not a good combination. -_-

Good thing i got much more better the next day, but still couldn't give you a review 'cause of my final semester exam which is held for five days. I'm back for now! After wednesday, 19th Dec' i'm officially on holiday! :D


Product Name
Etude House Happy Essential Foam Hyaluronic Acid


Description
Features a moisturizing cleansing foam that uses Hyaluronic Acid (Moisture Retention Care) and rich lather to remove oil and residues for smooth, soft sensation.




To tell you the truth, this is actually my first cleansing foam. I started using make up since June 2012 and before that i only use loose powder and lip balm and only clean it with soap. -.- The thickest make up i used before June 2012 was when my Junior High School Senior Prom and i only clean it with soap (foundation, lipstick, loose powder, mascara, eye shadow, blush on) can you imagine that.. -.-"

At that time, the ones who did my make up wasn't me or my mom, we had to go to the salon 6 am (getting dressed up, make up done, etc), preparing for graduation at 8 am, went to the hotel at 11 am, and waited for prom which is held at 7 pm. From 6 am until 7 pm i still use the same make up just like i mentioned above and didn't bother to re-apply and after prom i only clean it with soap... I'm not into make up at that time ladies.. -.-

Now you know what happens to me before i knew make up. ._.

(flips table)

Okay, back to topic. Introduce you to my first cleansing foam. When i went to Etude House Kota Kasablanka, i ignored all other products. My mind was set to buy this and Etude House mask sheet only. I was aiming Etude House Happy Teatime Cleansing Foam Vitamin C (idk the name, but it's the yellow one) but there was none and i was a bit disappointed until i saw this. I asked the BA which one suit best for dry skin, and she said the pink one (Collagen) and blue (Hyaluronic Acid). She also said the grey one (White Clay) suit best for oily skin, i automatically avoided that one and chose the blue one (Hyaluronic Acid)


I know, ew.. xD

Typical squeeze tube like any other tube. The texture is like a toothpaste but once mix with water, texture will turn foam-y. It's moisturizing and soften your skin too! It has no scent at all. You will only need a small amount of this product to cover your whole face. I accidentally poke my eye with my finger once while using this, nothing bad happen though, whew.. Need to be careful next time. ._.

I got mine at Etude House Kota Kasablanka for IDR 128000 for a 150ml tube! Great product, cheap price, great results! ♥

Likes
- Cheap
- Moisturized skin
- Contains a lot amount of product
- Doesn't feel itchy
- Long lasting

Dislike
NONE! 

I absolutely love this product and planning to re-stock again after the one in my bathroom runs out. Highly recommended cleansing foam since it's cheap and comes with a big size!

Have you already purchased them? What do you think? Do share with me! :)

Good night and stay gorgeous as always. <3

I am officially on my holiday. 

Review: Etude House Silk Scarf Hair Treatment

Hello dearest!

This time i'm going to review my first hair treatment and of course it's from Etude House! ♥ I will flood my blog with Etude House products, kekeke. >:)


Product Name
Etude House Silk Scarf Hair Treatment

I swear the pic is already rotated in my laptop.. :|

Okay, moving on..

Current Hair
Experiencing hair loss and sometimes tangled hair

I've been experiencing hair falls for a long time and ignoring it. -.- Why? I knew Etude House from June 2012 when they held and event called Pink Burlesque, and before that i didn't bother with my hair. I think using shampoo, conditioner, and hair treatment at salon was enough. After shampoo-ing, i blow dry my hair and use flat iron which cause more hair falls. =_=

And i've had more hair falls when i go to this salon, got myself a ginseng hair treatment. Results? My hair smells like ginseng mixed with Pantene scent (idk how to describe their smell) and Etude House Silk Scarf Hair Treatment (flower-y scent). It literally took me 2 weeks to get rid of the smell. Even my friends said my hair smells weird.

More and more hair falls 'cause the next day i used Etude House Bubble Hair Color #1 Deep Black. My hair was hard as rock and tangled hair everywhere, but their Silk Scarf Hair Solution (i think that's the name) makes my hair extremely soft and much more manageable, but still experiencing hair falls. -_-

So i bought myself Etude House Silk Scarf Hair Treatment at Etude House Summarecon Mall Serpong for IDR 78000. Available at all Etude House branches. :) But i still don't know why Etude House sells hair products, perfume, and accessories cheaper than online shops. 


The back side of the tube


Typical squeeze tube, but don't squeeze too hard or A LOT of product will come out, just squeeze it lightly. The texture is a watery with lilac color and it also smells like flower! The smell's not strong though, i really hope the smell last long on my hair, but it doesn't. ._. The packaging is uber cute! ♥ Dominated with pink and brown polkadots with fancy Silk Scarf logo in the middle.

This is my second tube actually. Already finished the first tube last month and planning to re-stock again. <3

How To Use:
1. Squeeze desire amount of product
2. Massage throughly just like shampoo-ing
3. Leave for 5 minutes
4. Use twice a week 

My hair become much more manageable with less hair falls, even after i blow dry my hair and use flat iron after that. <3

Likes
- Super cute packaging ♥
- Smells like flower
- Cheap
- Reduce hair falls
- Makes hair much more manageable

Dislikes
- The smell doesn't last long

Since you can't have all the time to go to the salon just for a hair treatment, why not do it at home instead with Etude House Silk Scarf Hair Treatment? Plus it only takes you 5 minutes ladies. :D

I'll be back with another review from my list.

Xoxo. ♥

[SOLD] For Sale

I'm back lovlies! <3

In this post, i'm selling two beauty products. It's from Etude House, my first and favorite Korean brand. As you know, i'm in love with their products. But as much as i love them, i don't need some of their products because they don't really suit me, my skin type, or my skin tone. What products am i gonna to sell? Let's see!

Product Name (top to bottom)
Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit SPF30 / PA++ Light Beige #N02
66 Big Eyeline Charm

i swear this pic is already rotated in my laptop. -_-

Left to right
Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit SPF30 / PA++ Light Beige #N02
66 Big Eyeline Charm

Let's take a closer look one by one!

Product Name 
Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit SPF30 / PA++ Light Beige #N02
[SOLD, Feb 27 '13]

This is Etude House best seller BB Cream! If you're wondering why Korean actresses or teenagers skin look so flawless and healthy, bb cream is the secret! BB Cream gives you smooth and matte look. It doesn't look cakey at all. It also has medium coverage. You don't need to apply powder after applying this, but it's okay if you want to. Not only that, this bb cream has whitening, anti-wrinkle, and anti-darkening function! :D

I already have one bb cream in Natural Beige and almost run out of it but manage to re-stock it in time. Results? My skin look flawless yet healthy at the same time. But make sure you clean it before bed.

The reason i'm selling this because it doesn't suit my skin tone. I got this one from a giveaway actually. And i don't know what to do with it, so i just sell it.

100% made in Korea
You don't need to worry, the product i'm selling is the same with Etude House branches, but with a cheaper price. No fake products here ladies! :)

i swear it's already rotated in my laptop. -_-


I haven't touch it or even use it. I always keep it inside the box ever since it came to my house.


Price
If you bought it directly from Etude House branches, it's pricey, trust me. Etude House products are pricey if you bought it outside Korea. My first BB Cream i bought it directly from their branches for IDR 328000. And i only sell it to you for IDR 170000. It's half the price from their branches. :D

Now, let's move on to the next product.

Product Name
66 Big Eyeline Charm
[SOLD, Feb 8 '13]

This product gives you a much bigger eyes! I personally think using eyelid tape won't last long because you need one tape for each eye. With this product, you'll only need to apply a small amount of glue from the bottle, apply on your eyelid like you're using eyeliner, and gently push your eyelid with the fork to gain double eyelids. This is also Korean teens secret to give themselves a much more bigger eyes.

The reason i'm selling this is because i already have natural double eyelids. So, again, i'm just gonna sell them.


As you can see, the fork is still attached to the bottle. :)

 100% Made in Korea
Again, the products i'm selling directly shipped from Korea. I don't sell fake products. :)

Price
I don't know how much this product cost in Etude House branches, i'm too busy looking at nail polish, masks, eyeliner and eyeshadows at their branches. xD So i'm gonna sell them for IDR 65000

Here's my offer:
- buy both before Dec 21st, free gift + samples
- buy one before Dec 21st, free samples

Open for Indonesian only. I don't know how to ship outside the country, pssh. >_> Of course, costumer will pay the shipping fee. :)

If you live around South Jakarta / Jakarta Selatan or in Jakarta and you wanna meet up to save money for the shipping fee, okay then.

No hit & run.

No booking.

Serious buyer only.

:)

No gift or samples if you buy them after Dec 21st, sorry. :( I'm having my report card on Dec 21st and gonna visit my grandparents house after that and also i'll be busy at the hospital for the sake of ma health + studying for Try Outs. D:

Interested? Email me at sonia.wardhani@hotmail.com

I'll update this post whenever one or both products is sold. Remember, i only have one stock for each product.

It's super cheap, affordable, and doesn't empty my wallet at all! Since Masami Shouko's brushes are imported from Japan, at first i thought it'll be as pricey as Dolly Wink's, but actually it's not! Then that means Masami Shouko's brushes in Japan are... CHEAP! O_O
