Etude House Surprise Essence Concealer #1

Hi guys! How are you all doing? Today's post is about another Etude House product and this is the Essence Concealer in #1 which is a Light Beige shade. I really love this concealer because aside from it being inexpensive, it has a great coverage! It's has a thick and creamy consistency but very easy to blend with a brush or your finger (which I prefer). I didn't ask the lady if this is water proof or what but I think it is based on the feel of the product. There's no slip and my skin absorbs it right away. 

This concealer has medium to heavy coverage and I'm really impressed of how concentrated it is. I just need a dot on my under eye area, around my nose, and a teeny bit on my dark spots to conceal my imperfections. This bottle is small but will last you for months because a small amount goes a long way. I only need to dip the wand once and I'm all set. I've used this for more than a week now and I have not experienced any irritation nor stinging so it's a huge plus especially to those who have sensitive eyes. 

I have a fair skin with warm undertones and #1 blended nicely on me. It only comes in 2 shades, #1 and #2 which is unfortunate because I'm sure that many would like to try this too, just that it won't match with darker skin tones. The #2 shade will work NC35 just fine.  

Very opaque and concentrated

Blends nicely with my skin

To me this is also an eye brightener because it lightens the eye area making you look fresh and glowing! You may also apply this on the areas you want to highlight like on the bridge of your nose, the high points of your cheeks, your cupid's bow, and the brow bone because it doesn't melt nor cake even on my oily skin. it has a powdery scent that I actually like. I'm just not sure if other will like it too. I don't mind it really because it's not a terrible scent after all. 

My verdict: 5 STARS!!! You can get this from any Etude House stores for only P298. Surprised?! I was too because I expected it to be more. I will be buying this concealer again for sure. I highly recommend this to everyone who are crazy about concealers :). It's worth the try because you obviously get the value for your money and it works fantastic. 

I hope you like this review and if you have any questions, please let me know! :)

Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam

Hello everyone! I have another Etude House product review for you all and it's on the Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam. This is a 30ml sample tube that I got free last year when I purchased a few Etude House products. I think it's nice that they give you free stuff from time to time because if this weren't given to me for free, I wouldn't have known that this as a good face product :D. I'm picky with what I use on my face because I have oily yet sensitive skin so I normally stick to those I am confident with. I'm way past experimental stage which oftentimes cause me skin emergencies so I rarely try new skin care products. 

Here's what's in the back... 

Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam is formulated with baking powder to gently exfoliate skin and penetrate pores for a thorough cleanse. You only need a small amount on every wash as it lathers up pretty nicely. I like the small bits on the foam because it doesn't hurt the skin and it melts quickly. It's very mild and doesn't sting! It smells like a a baking soda, like a sweet lemon which I really enjoy. After rinsing, the skin feels soft, and stripped off of oil and dirt but totally not drying. My face feels really clean and refreshed. 

how the foam looks like... 

I have been using this cleanser for 5 days now and I've noticed that my pores visibly minimized. It seems less oily which is a great deal for me. I have not experienced any irritation, or breakout so far so I'm really happy about that. I am a sucker for pore minimizing products so I'm surely excited about this cleanser. I was a little hesitant to use this before so it took me a few months to actually try it, and I'm glad that I did! Should there be any negative effects, I will surely edit this post and let you all know.  

 My verdict: 5 STARS!!! 

Etude House Petite Darling Eyes Cream Eyeshadow

Hello everyone! Today I have another Etude House product review and this is on their single cream shadows. Since I got my ELF 32 piece eyeshadow, I have been using it more often and I want to use different kinds of base shadows to intensify the shades. The packaging is rather sturdy and I love the crystal clear top and clean look. 

The shades I got are the basic colors I know I'll need more and work with most shadows colors. The first on the left is #1 which is a pearly white shadow and the second one is a light yellow pearly shade. These are both glitter shadows which surprisingly has great quality for only P148 a piece.

If you check the swatches, you'll see that these shadows are really pigmented. I only swirled it a few times and got just enough product on my finger when I swatched it. The pearls and glitter and really pretty. You cannot layer this much though because it does crease without a primer. You can wear this alone if you just apply a thin layer, and suits fair to medium skin well. It gives the lid a light hint of pearly glittery color which is good for everyday use. I can imagine these shadows to be a hit on teens because they are really lovely and makes the eyes look more fresh and awake.

If you are looking for an affordable cream shadow to use as a base, this is a good one to try. They make glitter shadows show up more and is a good sticky base if you want to intensify and switch up your shadows. The shadow with the base image looks a lot better in person as it looks more pearly and very pretty!

I'm a fan of Etude House products because they have really good quality. I didn't except too much from this product but I'm surprised of how I really like it. I recommend anyone to try this cream shadow. For the price, you can't go wrong :). 

My verdict: 4.5 STARS!!!

Etude House Miss Tangerine Sweet Shower Lips #3

Hello everyone! Today's review is on the Etude House Miss Tangerine Sweet Shower Lips #3 Miss Sunny Tangerine. I've planned to post a review of this very gorgeous lipstick from Etude House but  I've been busy with the holidays. I've had this for months now and only decided to use it. It's just so pretty that I wanted to hold on to it for a long time LOL. 

I got this from the Etude House store for P378 with 2.2. grams of lipstick which I think is a good price considering the quality. The retractable tube packaging is really lovely! SO far the best packaging for lipstick I have seen because it's heavy and glass-like, clean, sleek, and has a cute design! It's one of the lipsticks you would love to have on your purse all the time. 

isn't the box very cute?!

#3 Miss Sunny Tangerine 

sleek and sturdy packaging

The shade is a very pretty tangerine! It's a sheer, very glossy, and moisturizing lipstick which is the best thing about it. The color pay off is fantastic and is highly buildable to your liking, although by doing so you load your lips with gloss and make it look very juicy :). On the other hand, the juiciness it gives on the lips looks natural and doesn't appear like you layered on too much product. Application is very easy because it just glides on the lips. It has a citrus scent and is taste-less which for me is a huge plus! 

Etude House Miss Tangerine Sweet Shower Lips #3 Swatch

I'm currently suffering from flu but effect of the lipstick made me look a little revitalized on this photo :D. The shade looks more vibrant in person believe me. It's not very long lasting as it transfers but I am okay with it. I don't consider it as a CON at all because this lip color has a lot more to offer. This product doesn't feel like lipstick but more like a very pigmented lip balm because it's so light on the lips. It's an amazing lip color for daily use and is also available in other shades if you're not into tangerine/orange lipsticks :).

I love Etude House products because they're good quality and reasonably priced. Tangerine lipstick shades are IN this year so it's the best time to use it :). I recommend this to any lipstick addict out there. I UBER like it and I will surely try other shades! 

My verdict: 5 STARS!!!

Etude House Dear Darling Tint 01

This product review is on Dear Darling Tint 01. It's a pink gel lip tint on their usual clear plastic packaging and metallic pink handle. I got this for only P198 from their store at SM City. 

I'm such a huge fan of Etude House products especially their lip tints because they are very pigmented, long staying, and inexpensive. I have another one of this in 03 which is a red orange shade. You may check my review on Etude House Dear Darling Lip Tint 03 for swatches and color reference. That one is also a hit and a good buy so do check it out :).

Dear Darling Tint 01

i only swatched this once :)

very pigmented and non-drying

The swatch at the back of my hand remained even after I washed it with water, that's how pigmented it is. This lip tint is no different than 03 which I also love. I actually like it a lot that I bought a different shade again. It's a gel tint so it's absorbed by the lips easily and stays on. It blends on the lips pretty nicely so it looks natural and it's non-drying. 01's color pay off is better than 03's  since I only had to swatch it twice to achieve this color on my lips (looks like I just had a popsicle). It should match on any skin tone but will look more pink if you have fair skin. You can certainly wear this alone or top it off with a lip gloss. It's a great lip product for students and teens who are starting up with makeup and it's not as heavy on the lips as a lipstick.
I still give this lip tint 5 STARS and I will surely repurchase in another shade. I recommend this to anyone who like lip tints and don't want to spend too much. For the price, this is so much worth it :D.

Review: Etude House Petite Darling Lips

My lipstick review for today is on the Etude House Petite Darling Lips in PK001. This lipstick is so cute and reminds me a lot of college when I was starting on my makeup collection :). It was on sale when I bought this for only P250 from the original price of P278. I think there's about 2 grams of product on this petite lipstick.

packaging is really cute and girly

very lovely hot pink shade

  

Etude House Petite Darling Lips Swatch

I really like the hot pink shade and is the main reason why I got it. This shade looks good on fair skin but should suit any skin tone too. I think it's more of a cool pink than a warm pink (what do you think?). You can go with less makeup without looking pale as it gives a warm flush of color to the face.

This is a satin creamy lipstick which can be worn alone. On the photos you'll see that it's very shiny even without the lip gloss. I swatched it 3 times to achieve this effect. It's super blendable because of its consistency so it's very easy to use. The pigmentation is fine and leaves a slight hint of tint on my lips after I remove it. However, it's a little sheer on the first swatch. You have to build it up if you want it to be more opaque. Staying power is decent and lasts for hours. It's taste-less and has a fruity scent. The quality is not as good as I hoped for but it's still above par. For the price, it's definitely a good buy.

Overall I am still happy with this lipstick. My verdict: 3.5 STARS!!!
