Etude House Sweet Recipe: Ice Cream Nail Polish | Quick Review and Swatches

ETUDE HOUSE'

SWEET RECIPE COLLECTION

Ice Cream Nail Polish

Where: Etude House Boutiques and Counters

Price: 

Hi there EH Lovers~ ^^ So here I am again for another but new Nail blog post! :)

I believe that lots of people is anticipating and waited forever for this collection to launch. Including me~! I am actually planning to get all the products in this collection, but we'll see XD

But anyway~ I'll skip the entire description of the collection since a lot of bloggers already did so I'll just jump right away with the main product of this post. the ICE CREAM NAIL POLISHES~

Let me show you some promotional ads for this product ^^

Here are the yummy name flavors for this nail polishes

#01 Candy Fondant Mint Choco Chip

#02 Energy Up Lemon Sherbet

#03 Sour & Sweet Apricot Candy

#04 Sparkling Strawberry Stars Candy

Actual Products

Before I write down my thoughts on this product, I want to show you swatches of each nail polish on my nails side by side.

First Coat

Second Coat

Third Coat with Top Coat

Products on the bottle and on nails comparison

Note: I apologize for my not-so-good fingers and nails. Please bare with me ^^

Personal Description:

• Product is a bit watery/runny which makes it easier to apply

• Generous amount of glitters each

• Quite sheer but buildable

• #03 has the most colorful glitters

• #04 looks a bit purplish in real life

What I like:

• Easy to apply, since it's watery/runny, not sticky

• Bright and cute colors, good doe summer especially if you want to have that cutesy look

• Cute packaging, yeah! it really looks like an icecream XD

• Nice brush, it spreads the product well

What I don't like:

• It is sheer... you have to apply 2-3 coats to get the desired color - for me, some sheer bright nail polishes that need work/lots of coats are a bit waste of the product.

• Since it's watery/runny, it takes a long time to dry

• The polishes of course contain glitters, and all glitter polishes are harder to remove with a regular nail polish remover

Overall thoughts:

It's a so-so nail polish with a cuter packaging. Personally, I'll use em when I feel like to have cute nails but of course there's always a lot of options. Im not a fan of glittered nail polishes since it is harder to remove >_< But it is fine. I still love em, for display XD LOL. Oh cmon! They're cute right?

That's my take for this product under their new collection. I love EH so I love their products. There are just some that I don't really feel like using but I like having them on my stash. Hihi. Collection? LOL. So, that's it! Let me know what you think about this nail polishes and which products of Sweet Recipe Collection that you love. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for my other reviews under this collection ^^ bye~

Review: Missing U Hand Cream #4 Eastern Grass Owl Story

Missing U Hand Cream #4 Eastern Grass Owl Story

Hey there! Happy New Year everyone~ Hihi. Well, I guess this will be my 1st entry for 2013. Hope you'll enjoy reading this XD

I'm not a fan of hand creams and lotions. I barely use them coz I feel icky with the sticky oily feeling I get from lotions I've used in the past. 

This! This just grrr~ it's just so cuuuuute so I was like "Noooo~ I'm not gonna use it~ why buy~" then the next thing I knew is that I'm in the counter paying for this cute little thing XD Among the 4 variants, the smell of this is the most appealing. I can't really determine what it smells, but it's the sweetest, well for my nostrils, it is the sweetest among the rest~ I think it's supposed to be peach XD :)) 

Uhh yeah I forgot, this hand cream comes in 4 variants

Missing U Hand Cream #1 Eagle Owl Story

I believe this is a strawberry variant... wah sorry i wasn't able to remember all their variants/scents name. ~_~

Missing U Hand Cream #2 Kakapo Story

I got this one too! It's an apple scent if I remember it right. This is the 2nd scent that appeals to my nose. It's smells sweet as well. But #4 is still my fave XD

Missing U Hand Cream #3 Cerulean Warbler Story

The smell of this appealed to my sister. According to her the scent/variant name of this is cotton candy. XD I dunno, the scent reminds me baby powder. It is a subtle smell compare to #4. It's more of a baby smell XD

Missing U Hand Cream #4 Eastern Grass Owl Story (Yellow)

Weee~ the last but def not the least. My fave among them all. The box is cute as well, it's just a normal square box and such. This made the product more appealing and cute. And according to the box, it's peach! lol I didn't noticed that earlier XD My apologies.

So, let me show more photos I took.

The expression looks like it is angry or something. I dunnoooooo~ but it is still cute XD

This made me giggle a bit XD "Why is my head next to my body? errr..." XD the expression fits the photo well. XD

and this is how it looks like, the cream, when you first open it.

My review, yes after all those rambling..

Packaging/Container: 3/5

• Cute and colorful

• A bit bulky so I don't really carry this around since it will take much space in my bag

• It's a "dip-it" type of packaging which I don't really mind, but I still prefer a squeeze it or pump bottle with lotions and creams coz I find it more hygienic.

• The box of the main product is cute as well, as I have mentioned, it's not just an ordinary square box. There's a "window" where you can easily the product itself. It looks more like a bird house XD

Scent: 5/5

• Sweet but not stingy to the nose. It's subtle and just right

• The smell doesn't last long when applied, well I guess it's not created to last that long so it's fine

Consistency: 5/5

• It's not greasy, sticky nor oily when applied and when it dries

• It's creamy but not too creamy that will leave you a greasy feeling

• It feels "soft" and very refreshing in the hands

Product itself: 5/5

• It leaves my hands soft and smooth

• If you have hands that works roughly than normal, like me, using this every day and night, it will make your hands more moisturized leaving it soft and smooth which I have now after using it for about a week or two

Overall: 5/5!

The only thing is the container =/ I would love to have this on my bag or pocket but I don't normally bring big bags, sometimes I really don't bring a bag at all. That's just it. So I just rest it in my computer table to I can just dip and apply when I'm feeling roughy and shit. XD

I hope this helps. Have you tried this? Let me know what hand creams you use and which ones are your faves. I would love to hear from you and I might try it too. :) 'til next post!~

Etude House Haul = Addiction~

Hey guys! So! As you can see in my title, I am soooo loving Etude House lately and yaah~ I bought a lot of stuff from October to December. Ugh~ I dunno! I just... erm love their products! :P Well except for one... I'll get into that in a little while...

Let me show you my "collection"... Among my makeup collection, I have more EH than TM (Tony Moly) and MM (MajolicaMajorca). To give you a quick knowledge, I tried TM products first before EH XD But! I love EH maaaaaaaaaaawrrrr~ LOL... So anyway, let's get it on.

                    

So yeah, that's my EH haul/collection for the month of October and November of 2012. XD

I soooooooo love this one! This was recommended to me by the sales lady at EH, Megamall. I really really want to make a review on this one. XD Coz it made wonders to my skin whenever I use it XD hihi... it comes with 3 "bottle" in one box. 1 bottle lasted for about a month or two on me.. coz i don't really regularly use it... XD heey~ it's just because I always forget... :P But if I wanted to redehydrate my skin for an upcoming event, this is a must! in my routine :P

naaaail poliesss~ i love the colors... the formulation is good. easy to apply. lasting power is uhm somewhat great. there are times that the product is easily peeled off on the tip part of my nails... but overall, they last long. :) cute colors too! <3

This powder is for my sister.. according to her, it's a good oil busting powder. ;) haven't tried it yet so i really can't say anything about it...

I use this for my inner tear ducts to have that cute eye look. ;) it works perfectly. But i don't use is as much. hehe~

This is a traveling kit that I got for freeeeeeee~! I love free items! XD well I purchased a total of 3,000Php for a single receipt that's why I got this box of goodies ^_^

This is perfect for a natural flush~ hihi it's the Lovely cookie blusher in #4 Carrot Cheesecake. I always use this! It's really cute and handy. Good for everyday look XD

My first eye primer ever~ it's a good primer.. well, it's the only one I have so I really can't compare. But it does its job pretty well :P

Silky Scarf Hair Treatment on the left, as we all know~ my hair is pretty... damaged coz of constant hair coloring, so to help my hair stay smooth and shiny, I apply this to my hair if I feel like my hair needs extra smoothness then wash it after a few minutes, and viola~ my hair is smooth and more manageable ^_^ and the Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit, well, I still prefer my Magic BB Cream because! just because this one leaves a white cast on my face. But! I must say, I don't have to reapply powder over and over again whenever I use this. Maybe I'll make a comparison post for my BB creams :)

I suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper love this eyebrow pencil. It's in gray coz I the brown one is always out of stock whenever I go to EH to buy new stuff. But this is just right for my eyebrows :) The 2 way system is really a wise thing to do. 2-in-1 is always better and handy, in my case.

hihi~ I only use this whenever I like to have that extra glow. It is the Dear My Blooming Cheek in OR201, and I tell you, the name says it all, it will make you look blooming and glowy ^_^ It's a good tool if you want to have that korean dewey look.

This! is a must have on my bag. Its jelly texture, orangie smell and taste (yuhhh~ it has a taste!) is just so perfect if you just want to have that natural lip tint. I guess jelly lip products won't make your lips dry, so this is a go go for me ^_^ hihi.. And I really love the color!

I already used it twice, and yeah. It helps my skin rejuvinate. I use this whenever I feel like my skin is all stressed out. Hihi... This leaves my skin smooth and refreshed.

I love love love this cleansing tissue! I always use this to remove my make up just before washing my face. It really removes my make up! and it smells good. It doesn't irritate my skin, in fact, it leaves my face moisturized and clean!

This one smells and tastes like peach! I really love peachy smells too. It gives my lips a subtle gloss while moisturizing it. This is always on my pocket and I just put a small amount on my lips and pucker it up whenever I feel my lips are getting dry.

My first ever set from EH. I really had this battle within me if I should buy it or not XD LOL. But I guess I shouldn't have ~_~ this cost around 1998Pho? Not sure... around that amount. Why am I regretting on getting it? It's not because the products are bad, but my skin won't just accept it ~_~ too bad... I've used 1 of the eye patch and I used the other items about 5 times only with small amounts since I'm afraid to take a big risk on my face. Hay~ It broke me out and my skin so sticky. Hay~ But nonetheless, they smell good and might work for people who doesn't have same skin type as mine. I'm oily to combination skin, acne prone and sensitive as well. So, yeah. I am planning on selling it at around 1500Php (negotiable) whoever wants to have it, or! I can trade it with anything you want to offer that will fit my skin type. Feel free to comment of message me ^_^ I still have the box and the products except for 1 eye patch/pack. The bottles are heavy and they're really glass bottles. So just pm me away if you want to have this. ^_^

Hmm... That's pretty much it! I might have missed some things, but if you're interested on knowing about the things I missed, feel free to ask me ^_^
