A Smile's Secret

Hi Guys!!

Semester break is here and I finally found the time to review two skincare products from my past Etude House hauls.. :)) So here goes...

The first product is:
Etude House Aqua Sherbet Lotion

The product:



Claims and other information:


Consistency:


Bottle Opening:



Review
Pros:
*non-sticky
*a little bit cooling
*a little bit refreshing
*has a mild minty scent
*nicely packaged
*affordable
*didn't cause breakouts

cons:
*not moisturizing enough
*has unhygienic bottle opening
*packaging is not convenient for traveling

All in all the product is not something that I can't rave about. It really is nothing special and I feel that there are a lot more moisturizers out there that can replace this in my vanity table. This product gives me just the right amt. of moisture I need in the morning, but during the night, the moisture just isn't enough. I think that I won't be repurchasing this again.

Rating: 3/5

Onto the next product...
Etude House Skin Drink Aqua Toner in Sea in a Bottle (or so I think it is.. LOL)

The product:


Product info:

I don't know Korean so I can't translate this for you guys.. sorry... :(

Here's a pic. that I've got from the net to give you guys more details about the product.


**My mom has been the one using this product, but I've also tried using it a lot of times.

Pros:
*refreshing
*non-sticky (unlike my The Body Shop toner)
*love the clean and fresh scent
*cleans dirt from face
*mild
*didn't cause break-outs
*nice packaging (as expected from Etude House Products)
*affordable
*gives the face a glossy finish
*non-drying

Cons:
*didn't give a dramatic effect

All in all the product worked fine but is again something that I wouldn't rave about. I'm not really a toner person so I don't use toners regularly. (I only use it when I feel like it.. LoL) It does its job(removing excess oil)well but again I feel that there are other toners out there that would be better. Besides, facial wash alone removes excess oil from my face already. Who needs toners?? (correct me if I'm wrong but this is a not-a-toner-fan point of view... *(^..~)* I don't think that I'd be repurchasing this again.

Rating: 3/5

Btw I've learned how to fish-tail braid!! (but its still messy) hahah

I went to SM Megamall last last week and this was what I got from Etude House. :)
So far this is the first time that I went to Etude House and just had a mini shopping spree.. :)) hahah (we were in a rush!!! hahha >.<)

My FIRST mini-haul from Etude House...:))

(T-B)Color Me Nude Lipstick, Happy Teatime face wash in Peach Tea (I love the scent of this cleanser!!!)

I purchased the face wash because I'm out of my Kiri Honey cleanser, and I wanted to try this cleanser out. I became interested in this cleanser because of its uniqueness and because of Echoli's(Youtube Beauty Guru) review on this cleanser.
Watch the review here.

That's it guys!!!

**Next post would be my FIRST Forever 21 haul.

PS: Sorry for the vertical pic.!!! It just came out like that after I uploaded it... <(@)_(@)>

I got mine in no.1 Strong Black. It comes with a free brush.

I wore it the whole day. (Ate lunch by the beach, then proceeded to SM Manila to watch a movie)
This is what it looks like when I reached home.



It proved itself non-moving, smudge-proof, and sweat resistant. I'm really loving it!!!

Rating 5/5 <-- a definite must-have!!! >.<

**Wearing Geo Angel Black**

That's it guys!!

Review:
I really love that its pigmented and has a nice color. It also has a light shimmer that can make your lips pop!! :) I think I'll also go for #1,#6 or #9 in my next visit to Etude House.

That's it for now!!

Much Love,

Weee...Another Haul!!
hahah I know, I know...its long over-due but as you can see from my last post..I was busy..:))

haha N-E ways, this was from the Etude House in SM Mega mall.(Located near Toy Kingdom)
We rarely go to SM Mega Mall because its really far from my home, but that day, the stars were backing me up! I just so happens that we were checked-in in the Discovery Suites Hotel neighboring The Podium, which was just a walk away from St. Francis Square, which was also located in front of SM Mega mall!!! hahah :)

Now without further ado,

my mini-haul:

(L-R)55 Kissful Tint Chou (#2), Drawing Eye Brow (#5), Top 10 lipgloss (#22), an Etude House pen freebie, Code B strong eyes cream liner (#1 Strong Black), and another Lee Min Ho folder freebie.

That's It!!!
Reviews and swatches coming up!!!

Lip and Eye Make-up Remover


Review:
Love it! It removes everything! It's also gentle so it doesn't irritate my eyes,lips and face. It even has a nice smell. <3 :3

Look!!


Dear Darling Tint (02)



Review:
It has a nice natural-reddish color so it doesn't look too strong. I just dab it on my lips 6 times(3 dabs on the upper lip and 3 dabs on the lower lips) and press my lips together while moving each lip left to right opposite each other to distribute evenly. Whala!! Natural-looking tinted lips.
Watch out! It's a bit drying on the lips. Best to use a clear lip balm over it.

Swatches:

on lips(before)
