Review: Etude House XOXO Minnie Kissing Lips Minnie Red

Hello hello my dearest!

I'm back with another review from Etude House! I think this is my first purchase from Etude House in 2014. The old me in 2012 - 2013 was i could not resist Etude House adorable packaging plus at that time Sandara Park was the official ambassador for Etude House so i was like "must.. buy.." i even bought stuffs that Dara-related that i don't even need. The new me, i would think twice before buying something, and after thinking many many times i decided to pre-order Etude House limited edition Minnie Mouse lipstick.

Review: Etude House CC (Correct&Care) Cream #01 Silky

I'm back! 

I hope you're not bored with my Etude House review, cause my dressing table.. (counting) are dominated with Etude House products. Hmm, let's say about 95% of them are Etude House's, the remaining 5% are from PAC, Mustika Ratu, Maybelline, Tony Moly, Skinfood, It's Skin, Masami Shouko, Dolly Wink, The Face Shop, Innisfree, hmm what else am i missing...? Anywho, the remaining 5%, i only owned them 1 - 2 products, unlike Etude House. Hehe. ♥♥♥♥

This time i'm going to review a newly released product called CC Cream. There's been a lot of reviews of CC Cream lately, not only Etude House's CC Cream, but other famous brand as well, like Tony Moly. Etude House's CC Cream released early April, but it's not available yet in my country. So, like always, i bought them online. Plus buying online only took me half of the price in stores. I can't imagine the price of Etude House CC Cream once it's released in stores. Store price : 2 = online price. So, i bought my CC Cream around IDR 175000 or USD $18, imo Etude House CC Cream once they're released in store should be around IDR 450000 or USD $46. If you notice, CC Cream you bought online is more expensive than their BB Cream.

The price above is based on my opinion, idk the exact price because they're not released yet in my country.

Anyway, back to the review!

Review: Etude House Real Art Cleansing Oil Fresh

Hello dolls.

Forgive me for slacking every day. Ever since i'm on holiday i got really, and i do mean i get really lazy. Back when i was still in school, before bed, i always apply Skin Mal:geum. But since i'm on holiday? ..No. >.< And then i always do my best to blog because i was thinking "oh my God, i don't wanna abandon my blog for a whole month" but what about now? Now i was like "*snore snore*" sleeping like a pig, woke up in the afternoon, and got really angry if someone disturbs. I played Sengoku Basara (yes, i played ps3) with my boyfriend from 1pm until 5pm or 6pm, then watched Fairy Tail or Hunter X Hunter (i also love watching anime) on Animax, eat dinner, and go to bed. And on the weekends, i went on a date with my boyfriend or sometimes having quality time with family.

But now i'm going to fix all that, especially waking up in the afternoon. It's good, for me, actually, 'cause i finally can sleep after all the pressure. But i ended up sleeping in the middle of the night if i woke up late like that. Plus my dark circles are back again! >.<!

Oh, i wanna share this good news to all of you. Last friday, my heart wuz beating freakin' fast. My body temperature gets warmer and warmer as time passes. I cried a little too.

Review: Etude House Silk Scarf Hologram Hair Serum

I'm back again lovelies.

This time i'm going to review another product from Etude House, from Silk Scarf series. There are already a lot of reviews, but it wouldn't hurt adding one more, right? :) I've been eyeing this hair serum for weeks, and of course before buying, i tried to google and read some reviews. After reading from one blog to another blog i finally made up my mind and bought one for myself. I have a quite long yet dry and frizzy hair, so i needed this in my purse.

2013 News

Hi lovelies! ♥

How's your New Year? Did you celebrate it with fireworks like me or just stayed at home avoiding traffic while watching movies? (:

I'm still working on some reviews, and of course another Etude House product kekeke. >:3 But that's not why i'm here. I'm here now to tell you some 2013 news i got recently:

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 foamy. ♥ There 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. ♥

Review: Etude House Dear My Blooming Gift Set

A quick post, i still got exams tomorrow, psh. >.>

Today i am going to review Etude House Dear My Blooming Gift Set. A very perfect birthday gift to all of you guys out there who don't know what to give your loved ones, this is the one! I got mine for free actually. No, not sponsored. One of my trusted online shop held a giveaway and Etude House Dear My Blooming Gift Set was given as 1st prize. And i won, yay! xD

The first prize winner get Dear My Blooming Gift Set, Easy Brow Pencil, Precious Mineral BB Cream, 66 Big Eyeline Charm, Lash Perm 3 Step Volumecara. I finally get their newest mascara to achieve dolly look. I'll explain later in another post, okay? xD

 Description

Breathtaking beauty is in bloom with this gift set of lipstick, nail color, and fragrance.

Guys, this is the perfect gift for your loved ones! XD

The back right of the box. The back left of the box was written in Hangul. I only take pictures with English translation so you all can see and understand. :)

Dear My Blooming Gift Set contains:

Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk #PK004 Breathtaking Pink

Dear My Blooming Nails #3 Breathtaking Pink

Eau de Toilette: Fruity Floral Fragrance 

I love love love the packaging, really! It's so cute and princess-y. The packaging itself force you to buy them (this happen to me) (~` `)~ I love the ribbon attached to it, it is so cute! <3 And if you take a closer look on the lipstick, there's a heart-shape Cinderella carriage engraved on the lipstick! Love Etude House packaging! <3

Ladies, this is a great nail polish, trust me. You only need one coat on your nails. The bottle is made from glass so be careful, okay? I once saw a blogger who accidentally dropped this and it broke into pieces. The pretty color spread on her floor. I can't imagine if the same thing happen to me.. o.o Oh! And if you can't see the heart-shape Cinderella carriage on the lipstick, well, take a look here instead! <3

Eau de Toilette: Fruity Floral Fragrance

No, this is not a toilet perfume or whatsoever. This is a normal perfume, like your usual perfume. I really like the bottle perfume, it's the same bottle as the nail polish above and i'm planning to use the bottle for my perfume. xD The smell, i don't like. The name speaks for itself, it smells like lemon and i don't really like citrus perfume. Well, depends on your personal taste.

Packaging

I don't have to repeat myself, don't i? xD

Price

Pricey if you buy it from Etude House branches, i remembered and i think its around IDR 380000. Try your trusted online shop. ^^

Likes

Cute packaging. <3

Cute heart-shape Cinderella carriage

Dislike

Maybe the smell of the perfume..

Pricey if you buy it directly from Etude House branches

Overall: 4.5/5

Will I Repurchase?

Will i? The whole box? I think not. Maybe i'll buy this as a birthday give for a friend. And maybe i'll repurchase ONLY the nail polish (around IDR 68000 at every Etude House brances) xD

Good night and sweet dreams everyone. <3

Review: Etude House I Need You, Lemon! Mask Sheet

Finally, a review! >.<

Sorry to kept all of you waiting. This time I'm going to review one of Etude House mask sheet, it's called I Need You, Lemon! Mask Sheet. Pretty cute name, huh? I got this at Etude House Kota Kasablanka for IDR 28.000. You can get a much more cheaper price at online shops, but i hate waiting. And i've been dying to try this one.

23 ml (0.77 fl. oz.)

Description

Essence mask contains lemon extract that brighten and clarify skin tone. Tension fit design for improved facial adhesion and comfort.

Ingredients

Water, Glycerin, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Butylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Alcohol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethiconol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Triethanolamne, Disodium Edta, Fragrance, Squalane, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract, Citrus Auratium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Males (Apple) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract.

Directions

Apply mask sheet to cleansed face and leave on for 20-30 minutes. Remove mask and massage remaining solution into skin with hands. Recommended interval for mask application is every 2-3 days for maximum effeciancy.

Hold and apply sheet according to diagram. Pull tabs outwards against facial surface to incite tension fit.

I did exactly as it said. I leave mine for 30 minutes while watching Fox Crime. And it's a little bit itchy around my forehead and cheek, but don't worry it's nothing serious really. Once you remove your mask sheet, the itchiness will disappear. The holes and the mask fit perfectly on my head, but not on my chin because my face is oval. The mask also doesn't have a very strong citrus smell, which i think is good. ^^

Likes

Cheap (IDR 28000 at every Etude House branches)

Doesn't have a very strong smell

Holes fit perfectly

Dislikes

A little bit itchy once applied on face

Mask doesn't fit around chin area

Overall: 3.5/5

I picked this one because the function itself is for brightening. A few days after use this, i realized my face was a bit brighter than usual especially on my forehead. I recommend this mask sheet if you want to brighten your face. Ignore the itchiness. XD

Will I Repurchase?

Of course! XD

What are you waiting for? Go get yours at every Etude House branches or online store's (try google them) for a cheaper price. :)

Xoxo.
