You? What are your first purchases this 2013? Let me know~ and Let me know which products you want me to review. Hihi~ More EH Prods this 2013 :)) XD <3 weeee~

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 ^_^

Things I got this week | Lioele, People are People, Artist Studio, Nature Republic, Revlon, Jieshini, and a couple of Lashes

Hey guys! Sooooooo~ I had mini shoppings this week and got few stuff. XD Nothing special though. But! I must say! FINALLY! I got that one thing that I want to try really really bad coz I've hear a lot of good reviews about it. Let me start with the highlight for this week!

Liole's Triple the Solution BB Cream! wah~ LOL I tell you! I had a hard time to get my hands on that! Wala masyadong Lioele store here in Manila... Tsk! The one that's in St. Francis Square eh wala na. :( So, I got this at Market! Market! gah! Effort pa ang hanapan neto! letse... But after I surrender looking for it, it suddenly appeared right before my eyes! A PINK STORE! XD Hahaha. I literally shout at my bf "Ayun!!!" haha He thought I saw our friend that we were waiting for. hahaha.. Anyway~ I already used it a couple of times... I'll make a separate review on this.. Stay tuned!

The next one is...

Jack Daniel's shirt that we got from People are People in Market! Market! ahahaha! We both love JD that's why we... well, I insited buying it immediately! I dunno, I think those are the last pieces left. Just right for us! small and medium <3 LOL Yeah~ that's our couple shirt ^_^ LOL

I was actually looking for a Nature Republic store or even just a stall. And guess what, I found one in The Landmark. XD I want to try a lot of things from them but~ I think I should look first for the right item I should buy before actually buying it. But since I really want to get an item from them, I decided to pick this up. Haha! and yeah! I immediately tried it as soon as I reached home. XD Maybe I'll get 2-3 more of this to see the actual benefits of this mask. The lady recommended this to me since I said I have sensitive acne prone skin. So, let see XD

Haha! I forgot to remove the sticker prices XD well I'm just lazy I guess. XD I found this brushes affordable with verrrryyyy good quality bristles. :D for a 50-100Php each? They are so smooth and soffffft~ They also have a big fluffy brush and a crease blending brush which I didn't get coz I don't think I need it yet. The only bad thing is that they only have a small range of type of brushes. =/ 

These are my first pairs for false lashes XD natural and full xD LOL I just wanna try em~ LOL XD :)) and a Lash glue... Hope its a good one though XD 

Yay~! New lipstick :P LOL ahaha Revlon's on sale for this holiday~ XD This is from their matte collection. That's #12 Pink Sky.. Lipsticks on sale are their Matte, Color Burst Lip Butter, Color Burst Lipgloss, and Color Burst Lipstick... I dunno if I missed something. But yeah those are the collections I remembered XD LOL Go grab em now~! If I just have a budget at that moment, I might have bought one shade per collection :)) LOL well too bad~ I didn't bring much money T_T My mom got this one for me. HAHA! Thanks mom! :*

So.... I guess that's pretty much it.. Hope you found something useful in this post. ahaha! though I'm not sure people will give a f*ck on my posts anyway. XD Anyway~ thanks for stopping by ^_^

Estée Lauder: Pure Color 25 Melon Lasting Shimmer | Pure Color 37 Magnetic Magenta | Pure Color FK Fireball

Ohhhh~! Hellow there guys! I just wanna show you my and my sister's lippies collection :D

it's a mix of highends and drugstore brands. but its mostly drugstore brands XD coz there are lots of affordable ones with good quality ;)

But for now i'll just be talking about the Estée Lauder's ones. My sis got it from the US. HAHA! Thanks sissy loves. Anyway~ going back. So, she got 3 shades.. No, 4... but she gave the other one to mom so we have no chance of using it~ too baaad. but its fiiiine~ we have lots to use anyway XD

So let me present you our babies from Estée Lauder...

| Photo taken with Canon 400D by Liz Carrido |

As I have researched, Fireball and Magnetic Magenta are from EL's Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipstick Collection while Melon is from their Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick. I'm not really sure though! Coz I didn't buy them and I am not familiar with EL collections. But if you wanna check it out you can visit their website.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipstick

Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick

I don't think they repeat the name of their lipstick's shades that's why I concluded where each lipstick belongs to. Anyway~

Packaging:

The cover is metal-ish in gold. But... I think it's just plastic... Hm... It looks like metal but it feels like plastic. Sorry~ I'm not quite good with materials. If not plastic, It's a very thing, very light metal. And the glass part, I think its a real glass that if it fall into something hard, it'll break. And the logo~ it helps secure the cap. Overall, it's fine. But sometimes I'm having a hard time placing them in the box coz of the logo :P hehe but nothing more. The weight is a bit heavier compared to the drugstore ones. The shade is place just below the glass part.

Color and Swatch:

Now, let me show you some swatches I made for each shade.

Here are some swatches I made in my hand. The top photo, I just swiped the lipstick once. It is not that pigmented when you put it in your lips. You have to do 2-3 more swipes to get the full color. The 2nd photo, I swiped the lipstick 2 more times each. It shows super vibrant colors. And if you can notice, they are shiny! Yes~! They have glitters on them. They look frosty and shiny when applied in lips. They're reaaaaaaaaaally gorgeous! They are great for formal events and night out parties. They reflect like pearls. 

How they look on my lips:

My natural lip color! sorry for the low quality photos.. effort much! XD and for my lips as well, cracked~! anyway~

(All photos are taken with Xperia camera phone)

So.... here's

Magnetic Magenta

Melon 

Fireball

as you can observe, it shines~ it reflects the light that hits my lips. You get what you see on the tube.

Texture and Smell

Hm... they're creamy. They easily glide on my lips and they don't get into the cracks that much, which is good. They smell a bit perfume-y but not strong but it is fine. 

Lasting Power

Hm... I really can't tell... Coz personally, I eat like a barbaric girl so after eating, the color/product is completely gone~ and I have to retouch again. Hehe... Nothing much to say about it. Sorry.

So, I guess that's all it. Hope this helps even just a tiny bit~ LOL. I'm not a fan of EL so I don't think I'm gonna purchase again. Hm but who knows? They might have a better collection that may capture my interest, right? 

You guys? What do you think? Have you tried other Estee Lauder lippies? Let me know which ones are good buys. :) Thanks!

Here's another preview of Melon but I topped it off with Tony Moly's Berry Tint in Cherry but just in the middle to create that ombre effect that most korean artists have. Hehe~! Off to the grocery to buy some ingredients for my mom's bday celeb ;) See you soon, babies~ <3
