Product Review: Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes in Cherry Blossom

     Prom season is just around the corner and I'm pretty sure that junior and senior high school students are so excited for the big day. From dance presentation rehearsals, to prom dress preparation, I'm sure that if you're in the shoes of these young ladies, you want to make everything perfect and have a night to remember. Aside from these, another thing that girls are so nervous and excited to wear is their evening makeup. Prolly some will hire a MUA (makeup artist) while some who have a tight or decent budget will do their makeup on their own or you may ask a friend who knows the basics of applying makeup especially if you only want a simple evening look. 

     For this to achieve, you should invest in cost effective makeup up products like primer, foundation, blush, eyebrow powder, eyeliner, lipstick, and eyeshadows. Speaking of eyeshadows, you need to look for pigmented ones since this will be the center of your face makeup. Simple yet dramatic eye makeup will do and can be achieved using colors from an eyeshadow palette. Since we are talking about eyeshadows here, I have an eyeshadow palette from Etude House and methinks a useful palette if your eye makeup peg needs pinks, neutrals, and shimmer eyeshadow shades. Sharing with you today the review and swatch of Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes in Cherry Blossom :)

Cherry Coke, Cherry March, Baby Peony, Hello Spring, Floral Walk and Warm Morning

   
     This palette from Etude House is flower themed because the other palette is also named after a flower-rose garden. I can say that it's inspired from the colors of blooming flowers, the reason why you'll see mostly pink shades. Here are the shades:

• Cherry Coke- darkest among the six shades, this is perfect for creating smokey eyes.
• Cherry March - a cool tone hot pink shade that it close to matte.
• Baby Peony- a light pink shade that can be used in the crease.
• Hello Spring - it has a thick texture and as you can see in the photo below, it's full of shimmers. Can also be used as a highlighter.
• Floral Walk - a copper color shade with gold specks. 
• Warm Morning - light brown shade for a day time smokey eye makeup.

What I like:

• The packaging is simple but pretty. It's slim and compact.
• The palette already has a mirror so it can be used immediately for touch-ups, no need to use a separate mirror.
• The eyeshadow palette is handy and travel-friendly. 
• The colors inside are wearable. It has pinks, neutrals, and a mix of matte and shimmers.
• It comes with a dual-ended applicator too.
• These eyeshadow colors are very pigmented.
• The packaging has batch, manufacture, expiry date printed at the bottom of the palette.
• Easily accessible.

What I don't like:

• The price- can be a little steep for those who have a tight budget.
• Some of the shades can be tricky to apply.

Will I repurchase? Not for now as this palette can go a long way since it is very pigmented. 

Recommendation

     I give this a 4/5 rating. To tell you honestly, I seldom use eyeshadows so no EOTD in this post. I tried using this palette on my cousin-in-law's eyelids last year when she needed to wear eye makeup for a birthday party and I find some of the shades easy to use. Just be sure not to go overboard in application since some shades like Cherry March can look messy because of fall outs during application. If you have spare money to buy an eyeshadow palette, I recommend this to you.

     Yes, I said that the price is steep for cheapskates and for those who have a limited budget for prom. But if you think that you'll be using it after prom and for everyday simple eye makeup look, then it's time to buy this palette. This is also perfect for day time makeup.

Have you seen or tried this eyeshadow palette from Etude House?

Good Times!~

Banila Co. Now in the Philippines

     Korean skin care and makeup still have a hug impact on Filipinas. They've invaded our pop culture by storm and I'm pretty sure that a portion of teenagers today go gaga over their glowing skin and pretty makeup line. I'm also a fan of Korean skin care and makeup as I find them majority of them cost effective. They're the ones who introduced the bb and cc creams. Of course I've tried a lot from other brands and a new player is going to make us fall in love with their oh so pretty products.

     Korea’s influence over our cosmetics industry has gained considerable momentum through the years — and it promises to grow even bigger. The first wave of the Korean cosmetics invasion brought to the Philippines a plethora of Korean cosmetics brands that focuses mainly on skincare and some makeup. The Philippines however, stands as the only country in South East Asia where makeup outsells skincare. Despite this, there hasn’t been a brand that can truly stand for Korean makeup until today. Banila Co. is now in the Philippines and they've introduced their best-selling products in a launch last month. More details below :)

Banila Co. Now in the Philippines

     Banila Co. Philippines launched the brand at the Marco Polo Hotel last November 23, 2015 as the “No. 1 base makeup brand” representing Asian beauty. The launch was graced by Banila Co. CEO Mr. Chang Soo Kim, Chief Makeup Artist Mr. Kangpil Kim, and Managing Directors Cathryn and Jon Lim of All That Blush Trading Inc. During the launch, Kangpil Kim demonstrated a makeup tutorial on how to achieve that Korean lit or glow. He used the best-selling products from Banila Co.

     Banila Co is the most multi awarded Korean cosmetics brand in the field of base makeup. Its products help women achieve the popular Korean “Lit from Within” look. Banila Co.’s products that are popular among Asian women are primers, foundations, gel eyeliners, CC creams, make up cleansers, and the like have been lauded by the most prestigious beauty arbiters in the industry for its prestige quality, creative packaging, and disruptive innovation. 

Banila Co. Now in the Philippines
Banila Co Clean It Zero, Banila Co Prime Primer Classic, Banila Co It Radiant CC Cream

• Its Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm for instance, so captivated Korean beauty enthusiasts that they snapped up the product at a staggering rate of 1 cleanser for every 4.8 seconds. 
• Banila Co.’s Prime Primer, with its silky smooth texture and its potent ability to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, was adjudged by Get It Beauty, a Korean cable program that reviews the best cosmetic products in the market, as the best primer in the industry. 
• The company also boasts as having the first and only water-based CC cream in the market. The It Radiant CC Cream has been the bestselling CC cream in Korea for 3 years running.

Three of Banila Co.'s best-selling products: Banila Co Clean It Zero, Banila Co Prime Primer Classic, Banila Co It Radiant CC Cream plus Banila Co. Mr. Skin Doctor Face Mask

     From its humble beginnings in 2005, Banila Co. has grown rapidly in Korea and now has become the second best-performing Korean cosmetics brand in China. It now focuses its attention to South East Asia, headlined by concurrent launches in the Philippines and Taiwan. Subsequent launches in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand are earmarked for 2016. Banila Co opened its first store in Glorietta 4 last November 14. It will soon open its doors in Robinson's Place Manila and other prime malls in Metro Manila and key provinces.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX

     Hi dearies! Merry Christmas! I've been a fan of Laneige ever since I've tried a sample of Snow BB Cushion. I'm still a lurker of different forums before and don't own a blog yet during the time I'm using the product. I presume that some of you have an idea of Laneige. It's a high-end brand of Korean cosmetics and Song Hye Ko is one of their ambassadors. After finishing a tube of Snow BB Cream, I said to myself that I'll save up and buy one of their best-selling skin care product- Laneige Water Sleeping Pack. I've searched for reviews online about Laneige Water Sleeping Pack four years ago and all the users gave this baby a positive feedback. Since I'm a cheapskate, I wasn't able to buy a tub because I have doubts if it will be worth every peso that I'll spend. 

     Fast forward today, I've learned that this product is being offered in O Shopping for a very reasonable price. I accidentally discovered O Shopping Philippines one night when my son can't sleep and decided to turn on the television. He was switching the channel and stop when he saw something Korean flashing on the screen. I heard the word Laneige and decided to watch too. To cut a long story short, my eyes were glued to the hosts of O Shopping introduced the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX and what's included in their offer. If you're lemming to try this skin care product from Laneige for a very long time now and having second thoughts because of the price, well you can purchase a set at O Shopping PH for an amazing price. Anyhoo, here's my review after using the product religiously for more than a month, twice or thrice a week especially when my skin feels so dehydrated.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX

• Wake up to a fresher feeling with the new and improved Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX ingredients and its features:

• Beta Glucan for skin regeneration;
• Ceramide SLN for moisture restoration;
• Hunza Apricot Extract for skin purification;
• Chestnut Extract to improve skin texture.

     As I've said above, I've been lemming this skin care product for a long time and when I got hold of this last October, I used it religiously- twice or thrice a week. Even if there were times that I'm too tired and lazy to wash my face after a long day attending events or running errand, I really make sure to apply one scoop around 2.5 cm in diameter using the spatula after washing my face.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX
One scoop is enough for my entire face

     
     The first application of Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX on my face was a bliss. I like the color of this moisturizer/face mask. It has a light bluish tint that turns almost clear once applied. It has a cooling and soothing effect on my tired face that's why I find it addicting to use! The scent is relaxing and after application, my face looks so hydrated that I described it as 'wet face' look.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX
Photo on left shows the color of this gel-type mask. It has a bluish light tint inside the tub. I put a lot of product on my hand so that you can see the color and texture. But I don't apply this much. One scoop is enough, okay? Right hand shows after blending the product. You can see that my hand has a 'wet look' appearance.

     
     This product from Laneige acts as moisturizer and a sleeping mask. It's a light-gel type product and melts like water once applied. It instantly makes the skin soft and smooth but not tight after application. Since I only need a pea-sized amount every night, a 80 ml tub will last me more than five months because I'll just use it three times max per week.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX
Here's my bare face after applying Laneige Water Sleeping Pack before going to sleep. Photo taken around 12 midnight. No filter. That's my skin- I have large pores, uneven skin tone and freckles on my cheeks

What I like:

• Reasonably priced at 2,495 at O Shopping Philippines since I get 2 80 ml tub plus the full-sized freebies like the Laneige Multi Cleanser, Laneige Snow Crystal Sheer Lip Gloss and additional 2 20 ml trial size of the sleeping pack.
• The packaging is simple. The jar is sturdy in my opinion because I've dropped it twice and I didn't see any dent or crack on the surface. Well-sealed upon purchase and comes with a spatula for hygienic purposes.
• A little amount of product goes a long way.
• It's a gel type product that's easy to apply.
• Absorbs quickly and gives a well-hydrated skin after application.
• It has a relaxing scent and I can feel the cooling sensation during and after application on my skin.
• It's non-greasy and not oily.
• Instantly brightens the face the next after I wake up. I can say that my face looks more hydrated and supple.
• No irritation, breakouts or whatsoever after using it for more than a month.
• Manufacturing is printed at the bottom of the tub.

What I don't like:

• It doesn't have anti-aging ingredients so I guess girls who are into anti-aging now will look for other alternatives that give same results.
• Does nothing on my blemishes and freckles which I understand because the product is not intended for that problem but I hope if they reformulate this in the future, they will add an ingredient that will somehow lighten those marks.

Will I repurchase? Yes, but not for as these tubs will go a long long way! 

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I highly recommend this moisturizer/sleeping mask to all girls who would like to give their skin the hydration needed for the cold ber months will really make your skin dry and flaky. This mask is easy to use and will be enjoyed by women who like to hit the sack immediately after application since they don't have to rinse it at all.

     You can get this set at O Shopping Philippines for a reasonable price. The freebies are awesome too so if you want to give something special this Christmas, this is something that you should now miss. Aside from this set, they also have the Laneige Snow BB Cushion which I really, really, really love! I've been using this bb cream for more than a year now. I get my back up at Laneige counters before but now I will purchase next at O Shopping PH when I ran out of this wonderful product. This also comes in a set and has lots of freebies too. If you want to check, just click here: Laneige Snow BB Cushion. Good thing I discovered awesome deals at O Shopping Philippines.

     I'm so excited to share with you my review on Tony Moly Make HD Argan Oil. The moment I received some of these products from Tony Moly, my heart skipped because these quick beauty fixes are what I really need right now.

     The crazy hot weather we are experiencing throughout the day prevents me from wearing bb creams and liquid foundation which I find heavy on skin so when I saw this new cc cream variant from Tony Moly, I've tried it immediately and so amazed on my first try. Another product that I fell in love with is the Tony Moly Make HD Argan Oil. I think I've found a close dupe to one of my favorite hair serums that's heavy on the pocket. Will muse about my experience on my next post.

Product Review: Etude House Sugar Tint Balm

     I will never get tired of trying a new lip product as long as the pigmentation is good and there's a lot of colors to choose from the brand! I'm happy to share with you my thoughts on Etude House Sugar Tint Lip Balm. I'm sure you've seen great reviews from beauty bloggers here and abroad and what they have to say about this product. I have a love-hate relationship with these lip balms but I think that it's only me who experienced it. By the way, thank you Etude House for sending these balms. 

     These lip balms are promising but I guess it's only me who can't tolerate a few types of scents and perfumes. To know more about the product scroll down and see photos, swatches, and what are the things I like about these babies :)

What I like:

• The packaging is cute. It comes with a screw off lid/cap that can prevent the lid/cap from unscrewing off accidentally while these lip balms are inside your makeup kit or bag.
• There are 8 pretty shades to choose from.
• The color comes off true. What you see if what you get.
• It is very pigmented. Looks like I'm wearing lipstick whenever I apply cranberry pie on my lips.
• It glides smoothly on my lips without tugging and pulling therefore it's easy peasy to apply.
• It has the right amount of gloss/shine on my lips. 
• Etude House Sugar Tint Balm lasted 5 hours on my lips.
• Does not fade after eating or sipping my drink.
• Contains beauty oils like Jojoba Oil, Organic Argan Oil, and Vitamin E.
• Easily accessible.

What I don't like: 

• The price can be a bit steep for budget conscious individuals.
• The scent- I find the fruity scent a bit off for my sensitive nose. I think it's just me because my sister likes the scent of these lip balms.
• Can emphasize flaky and chapped lips because the texture is creamy. 

Will I repurchase? Maybe yes and no. Yes because I want to try the remaining six shades. No because I think a bullet will last long. I'm the type who will empty the contents of a product first before trying or buying a new one if it becomes a fave or HG (holy grail). 

Recommendation:

     I give this product a 4/5 rating. I like that the packaging is cute and unique. It's very pigmented but buildable so it's like I'm already wearing a lipstick. If you have dry, flaky, and chapped lips, I advise you to exfoliate first as these lip balms may emphasize them. Other than that, you'll be surprised that you'll get the true color of these lip balms once applied. Some lipstick may look different on the tube and once applied. I have pigmented lips and I don't have a hard time making Grapefruit Tea show off it's true color in just two swipes.

Have you tried these pretty lip balms from Etude House? What's your favorite shade?

Good Times!~
