Review : etude house fantastic color eyes pallete #rose garden

Today's review will be on my favourite pallete The fantastic color eyes pallete by etude house. If you have been following my blog, you would know that i have made a review also about this pallete but in the Cherry Blossom color. 

Why do i like this pallete so much? Well, i'm such a sucker for a limited edition terms since i missed the halloween special edition palette. He he

But, apparently besides from the limited term, i do love this pallete since it gives a light and warm shadow on my eyes and its very suitable for daily makeup. 

This pallete made of 6 colors. Unlike the cherry blossom, this pallete has no matte eyeshadow. The color consists of julliete, honey bouquet, antique touch, hand tied, vintage rose, and my girl.

The julliete color is actually a shimmering beige that contains a bit of pink. I use it for the base eyeshadow, to help tone down my skin. 

The honey bouquet is a sparkling gold brown. It is the most glittery shade here and the color looks like a liquid dancing honey, ha ha.. It looks like sequin clothes in the pallete. I use this to add more sparkle and glitter on my eyes. But this is not for daily makeup since it is too sparkling.

Next is the antique touch. One thing that i like from etude house is that they are very clever at giving names to their products. This one, do look like an antique touch. It is a vintage deep brown color that has a little shimmering. I use this for the outer part of eyes to give depth to my eyes. 

Handtied is the main attraction in this pallete. Frankly, i've never seen red eyeshadow before. at the first time, this color was my main reason i didn't purchase it. It simply too strong. But when i tried it, it looks so lovely. I didn't know a red eyeshadow could turn out to be so good. It doesn't look too bold on my eyes, but more like a sweet hint of red. And, it is also a perfect color for monolid. My sister has monolid and when i did her makeup yesterday, this eyeshadow highlight the inner part of her eyes so well. But, this color is definetely not for daily makeup unless you dare enough to use it. Ha ha

Next is vintage rose, which is a really beautiful shimmering brown old - rose color. It is one shade deeper than the my girl and definitely an eyeshadow for daily makeup

The last one is the my girl shade. It is a pinky brown color with less shimmering than vintage rose. It definitely pairs with vintage rose. 

All of the colors last pretty long and the price is not that expensive for a very good pallete. I definitely recommend this pallete for everyone. Go buy them quickly since it is a limited edition! Or you will regret it!

Thanks for reading my blog, see you in my next post. Below, i listed some pictures and the swatches.

Review : ETUDE HOUSE DREAMING SWAN COLLECTION

Review : Etude House dreaming swan #veiling powder pact

Hi all, few days ago, i promised a review about etude house brand new product which is the dreaming swan line. I purchased 2 items from this line which are the veiling powder pact and the lipstick in shade pk023. The line itself has 5 poducts which are : veiling pact, cheek and eye blusher, highlighter, lipstick and a cute tutu brush.

So, i'll begin with the packaging of the veiling pact powder. This line was created by etude house feat Kerrie Hess an Australian ilustrator who has worked for Chanel, Vogue and net - a - porter. She is also the author illustrator of stylebook shoe string and now she colaborated with etude house to make the dreaming swan line! So i surely bet the design will be great!

The packaging is indeed beautiful, with the sketch of a ballerina. Surely i will not throw away the packaging even after the product has emptied. Isn't that the reason we bought it at the first place? Ha ha

The box of the powder itself is quite big, i thought it will be smaller. The case is made of hard matte plastic which has soft surface and i'm afraid that it can slip out from my grip.

Fortunately, the picture on top of the lid is not a sticker. I saw a blogger giving a glimpse of this product before i have it and she stated that it is a kind of sticker but i found out that it wasn't. It's a printed embossed picture. 

The pact itself come with built in mirror, i'm so happy to see a product that comes with a mirror since it can be handy when traveling. One thing that i admire from this product is the separate lid between the powder and the puff just like in cushion types.

The powder itself has a picture of ballerina shoes carved on it. The color of the powder is not beige like usual but tend to be pinkish shade just like the package. 

 

It claims as a veiling pact that naturally covers dark area and keeps skin smooth and bright all day. It contains white shimmer powder of transparent particles reflects glow to vitalize skin and naturally covers dull skintone with peach color. It can instantly smoothen the skin since it has smoothing powder of tiny and silky texture that filled pores and skin layers. It also has the sebum control and hydrate the skin all day long. (I took this from etude website)

Based on my opinion, it does do what it says. I used this as a finisher powder and when i reapplied it, my face stays bright until night. It helps to tone down little greasiness on my face but in the end of the day when i checked on the mirror, i could  see that it transforms into a nice glowing finish. 

Overall, i love this product and despite for it's nice packaging it also has wonderful effect.  

Will i purchase purchase it again? Surely, but sadly yhis product is a limited edition so i can't buy it again hiks hiks.. 

Next, i'll be reviewing about the lippy product. It called dear my blooming lips talk. It's a quite long name for a product but who cares! Haha the packaging adopted the same concept as the old blooming lips talk but with a different bottle color and materials. It is made from matte soft platic rather than the usual pink glossy bottle. The ribbon is also in white color rather than metallic pink. 

Unfortunately, i failed to understand that this is a matte lipstick. I thought it was a glossy lipstick just as the old blooming line. I rarely use matte lipstick and frankly this is my first time purchasing matte lipstick. But, when i tried the color, it was just so pretty. PK023 is a mixture of ponk and orange.. More like salmon color if you understand what i mean. I really love it. It glides on my lips smoothly with satin powdery finish. 

And it's very long lasting too for a lipstick. It fades after 4 hours, leaving a nice pink tint on my lips. The smell is nice, not too overwhelming. But, i have to warn you. Since it is a matte type product, it can accentuate dry and chapped lips (like mine!). So, i suggest you to exfoliate and apply lip balm before it. But overall, i really like this lipstick and i'm gonna purchase another shade as well as the highlighter! Haha.. 

Thank you so much for reading my blog. Below, i listed some pictures of the product and the swatches. Hope you girls enjoy it. I appreciate every comment that you leaves and i will reply it ASAP. See you in my next post!

Review : The Face Shop my lip eats cherry #cherry juice

Hi all, i'm back with a new review. Actually i have written this topic but somehow i forgot to saved it in the draft and when i checked it again, it was missing. My bad.. So well, i need to write it again. 

Last week, i ordered peripera tint water in cherry juice, but the seller at LITTLE DOTS SHOP said it has sold out so she asked me to change my options to buy the face shop or tony moly lip tint in cherry shade. I opted for the face shop one. 

It came pretty fast and as usual i always happy when receiving packages of new cosmetics.

It came without a box, just a simple bottle with the plastic seal all over it. The ingredients and the manufacturing date are all printed on the plastic not on the bottle along with the information of the shade so once you tear the plastic, you can't know what shade it is. Ha ha (why am i laughing about this? Dunno) 

So, the bottle it self is made of trasparent plastic. Very strong and sturdy. Frankly, i do not really like transparent bottle because i don't like to see the amount left. It just ruins the whole concept of always having a full content things. But well, i saw many people complaining about having a non transparent bottle but i'm on the other side, am i?

The design looks mature, unlike the other lip products that i have, the black plastic cap feels a little bit cheap but i won't complain since the price itself is definitely cheap. It was only Rp 60.000 and the amount is quite much. 

One thing i like from this product is the applicator. It has a doe foot shape but slightly slanted at the end and it makes me easier to apply the tint along the cupid bow. It is soft and bend well, unlike the sturdy and non flexible applicator from peripera. 

The smell is just like cherry jam, its so sweet and makes me wanna lick my lip hehe. The tint itself is not very liquid. The name itself is aqua tint, but somehow it looks more like gel type than aqua. And one thing i forgot to mention, the bottle has a stopper on top of the lid. It helps to prevent liquid from coming out and it is very effective in case i drop the bottle and the content will spill out. Thanks face shop!

The color is not as red as the liquid inside the bottle, but it gives a nice cherry red color. The color itself turns glossy upon application but after 10 minutes it will set and stain the lip nicely. 

Another thing i like from this tint is the formula, maybe because its kind of gel type, it moisturize my lip well. It doesn't dry off like the other tint, but it leaves a sticky feeling but not as sticky as lip gloss. And the stickiness can last until 4 hours without re application! 

Unlike the peripera one, the color doesn't sink inside my lip and emphazises dry patches which makes me always lick my lip to keep it hydrate (pardon me..) 

So, overall i love this tint and i don't regret buying it. The only thing missed is the limited color options. It only has 2 color options, the cherry juice and the red juice. 

Okay, that's all for today's review. See you in my next post! Bye. Below i listed the pictures of the product and the swatches. 

Pros : 

Cheap price, good applicator, smells nice, vibrant color

Cons :

The not so good design and limited color options.

REVIEW : ETUDE HOUSE OH MY EYE LINE #black

I don't Know why do people rave about this eyeliner which is a major fail according to me. 

I bought this last year and it has been with me for such a long time so i can assure you about the content that i'm about to write.

First, i attracted to this product simply because its from etude and last year i was all about etude house. (I still do until now but in more sane degree) the price was considerably cheap. I bought it for Rp 65.000 but you can find it online for Rp 50.000-40.000. 

It's one of my early korean product and that time i was amazed by the shape. It has a long handle with a thin and sharp brush. Perfect for drawing thin line. And the eyeliner liquid was contained in a small curvy pot. The color is matte black.

When i first tested it (pardon me) it looked great. I could draw a thin line on my eyelash and everything seemed to be fine. The color was black enough for my liking. But day by day i started to doubt this eyeliner because it flaked. It was really bad. I used it for two hours and when i checked the mirror, most of the line has gone leaving a hard dotting untidy line along my eye lash line. Yes! The eyeliner was harden.

I still continued to use it because i thought maybe this was just how it worked and my eyelid tends to get oily since i'm using bb cream all over my face.

But, when i bought my nature republic and tried it, i was like oh my God what did i just miss all this time? Oh my eye line was a terrible mistake compare to the nature republic since my nature republic doesn't smear off and flakes away eventhough it is not a waterproof type. 

Next, i'm going to complain about the handle. It's just too long. I can't draw a perfect wing just because the handle block me from the mirror! And for a beginner, i really do not recommend you to try this product because it is just so hard to dry a wing eyeliner with such an inappropiate handle design. I stopped using this product a while ago but few days ago i tried it again because i wanted to make this review. And my hand started to shake (truly!) i'm not used to it anymore and that caused my hand to shake. 

And since then i never use it anymore. And this is not my opinion only. When i asked a makeup artist to do my makeup last year, i saw this product on her beauty case and i asked her wether it was good or not and she said it was terrible, (see! it's not my opinion only) she bought it out of curiosity and she never used it anymore. 

I love etude house but this product is a major fail. And actually, the price is not that cheap. I can find maybelline eyeliner for only Rp 17.000 and works great as well. 

Pro : 

1. relatively cheap price for korean product

2. Cute design

Con :

1. Flakes off

2. The handle is too long

3. Not long lasting

4. A big no no for makeup beginner 

Rating : 1/5

1/5 = this product should be burned to ash

2/5 = Cause Me some problems

3/5 = neither good not bad

4/5 = good product but not good enough to get full mark

4.5/5 = Very good product but can not get full mark due to Its price

5/5 = Super good and definitely worth to buy

Review ETude house dear my wish lips talk #pk003

It's been a while since my last post. Buat today i sound like to give a review about Etude house dear my wish lips talk featuring CHrystal from f(x) member. 

If i have to be honest, i interested in this product because of the advertisement campaign of her. She looks so lovely wearing this lipstick and the fact that this lipstick also appears in chrystal's movie makes Me so produk to have it. (Don't you?) 

So back to the product, it's my first experience with etude house lipstick. And the performance is just really great. 

It slides on my lips smoothly and the color is super pigmented. I Bogor the pk003 because i have a blazer with the same fuschia color and it just match with my outfit. 

It has creamy texture and sometimes it is hard to handle due to it's pigmented and creamy texture. But you can always swipe the excessive product with cotton bud right?

The price is considered cheap. I Bought it for Rp 120.000

So, Will i put purchase it again? Definetely yes!

 Pro : 

Very pigmented

Glides on smoothly

Relatively cheap price

Con :

Non (LOL)

Ratings: 5/5

1/5 = this product should be burned to ash

2/5 = Cause Me some problems

3/5 = neither good not bad

4/5 = good product but not good enough to get full mark

4.5/5 = Very good product but can not get full mark due to Its price

5/5 = Super good and definitely worth to buy

REVIEW : ETUDE HOUSE FANTASTIC COLOR EYES #CHERRY BLOSSOM

Hi all.. few days ago I have promised a post about the limited edition fantastic color eyes palette from etude house. So here it is!

Actually I have gotten this palette a week ago but I can only make a post on Saturday so yeahh..

I bought this palette from @etude recipe for Rp215.000. it came so fast. I ordered it on Monday and on Saturday, the palette already arrived. I really recommend you to shop in here because it has a very fast po and also free sample in every purchase.

So, get back to the palette. When I receive the palette first thing that came to my mine, oh my god the box is just so pretty. Even the carton box is decorated with sakura (cherry blossom) flower. It’s a new spring edition palette and everything is so springy. The box itself is made of hard plastic with built-in mirror and sponge application. I really like the built in mirror since I can use it for traveling either. The sponge application is very nice. Usually if I buy an eye shadow with the application inside, the application is usually made from rough sponge (if you ever purchased Maybelline eye shadow, you know what I mean) but this one came with white latex sponge and feels so soft on my eyes.

The colors are all nice. It has six colors in each palette. Mine are cherry coke, cherry march, baby peony, hello spring, floral walk and warm morning.

The cherry coke color is deep cappuccino brown with no shimmer at all. It’s the darkest color in the palette.

Cherry coke shade

The cherry march on the other hand is a bright fuchsia pink that looks very pretty.

cherry march shade

The baby peony shade is a pale Barbie pink that looks very nice for everyday use.

baby peony - the color is so light

The springy floral one is a white – pink glitter. I think this suppose to be wear under eye rather than on top.

springy floral shade

But if you see my swatches, I think this shade can also be applied in the centre of eye makeup to make a 3 dimensional eyes.

The floral walk is a brown with pink undertone. It has pink shimmers and it’s very pretty to be used for daily makeup

floral walk shade

While the last one, warm morning is a lighter brown also with pink undertone. It has less shimmer than floral walk.

warm morning shade

this is how my eyes looks like with cherry coke, cherry march and springy floral on the  lower lids

The color in this palette is indeed for spring but I’m sure you can use it in another season also. So, buy it while you still can! It’s really worth it! If you have anything to ask me, don’t forget to leave a comment. See you in my next post!

REVIEW  : NATURE REPUBLIC BY FLOWER BRUSH LINER

I never wear eyeliner for daily makeup because it doesn’t look natural enough since I only have black liquid eyeliner. I do have brown eyeliner but it is agel type from Maybelline and it tends to smudge away and some of my students keep complaining that my eye makeup looks horrific since it smudge everywhere so I never use eyeliner again sadly.

this is the front side

I remembered that etude house has a brown eyeliner from the wonder drawing line but it is quite expensive so I opt for the oh my line liners but from my previous experience of this eyeliner, I don’t really like it since it can clump and not so long lasting.

the back side

 So, in the morning I just lazily check what nature republic products that my seller sell. I interested in some product but because I’m on tight budget I just skipped it and skipped it until I found an eyeliner. It has 2 shades, brown and black. And guess what the price is quiet cheap! It’s only Rp 75.000. I decided to give it a try.

how the brush looks like

It came together with my peripera tint. So, first impression, the packaging is so simple. No box at all. The whole body is white with a little brown on the bottom. The design is very clean and shopisticated almost like the innisfree one. Actually I was so thankful because it’s a brush not a marker, I don’t really like markey type eyeliner since it has pointed end and my eyes feel ached everytime I used the marker type.

When I open the cap, I thought the brush looks celan and there was no button to press the ink out or yeahh you know.. and I thought how can the content came out, and I tried to draw a line on my hand. It doesn’t take even 2 seconds for it to completely dry. When I rub it, it doesn’t smudge or smear at all. It’s a good thing since I don’t like my eyeliner smudging all over my eyes.

The next day I tried to use it on my eyes. Because my eyes tends to get oily, since I use bb cream all over my face and I seldom apply any loose powder on it. It tends to get oily around the eyes, so I put a little bit of loose powder on my eyes to keep it from smudging. It glides on eyes very smoothly and it is very easy to use. Like drawing using a pen. And you can never go wrong with brown color.

swatch on my hand

I used it around 9 am and when I checked it on 9 pm. It was still there. There were no sign of smudging at all. But when you wash it with water, it will disappear because it is not a waterproof type. It’s very good. I give a thumb up for this product! I really love it and I wear it everyday simply because it’s very natural. I really recommend it!

Pro :

1.       Very cheap for a very good product

2.       Natural and pretty color

3.       Long lasting and non smudging

Con :

1.       Not waterproof

2.       Doesn’t come in many range of color

Rating : 5/5
