Huge Etude House haul

This is a somewhat huge Etude House haul but don't panic people, I didn't do this haul in one go. It took me from last year till June this year to accumulate these much of product.

I am more careful with my Etude House purchases this time around by getting products that I will use and try like base and lip product. If compared to my previous Etude House haul, I would consider this to be not as big because Etude House hasn't been launching collections or innovative products that catches my eye.

Among all items that I got from my haul that catches my eye the most is the Precious Mineral Magic Any Cushion.

Rosy tint lips.

I got this because Sulli looks stunning in the advertorial for this line. Not so smart consumer I am and it is a lame excuse to get these lip tints.

The shade I've chosen is Sweet Poison and After Blossom. After Blossom is the lip shade that Sulli wore in the advertorial. I thought it looks stunning on her, very fair, very snow white-like.

The box for these Rosy tint Lips are gorgeous with the rose design, it is just so elegant floral. The packaging for the actual product though, is such a disappointment. It is just so dull and plain.
I wish there were more design going on the tint Lips. Maybe like some rose engraved design.

In conjunction with Etude House 10th's anniversary, Etude House released two limited edition Fresh Cherry Tint shade. One is in the radiant orchid shade I've chosen and the other is a bright orange.

This Fresh Cherry Tint is going to be a substitute for the Benefit's Lollitint which I've meant to get but I just haven't gotten to getting it.
Radiant Orchid is a hot shade this season, so this Fresh Cherry Tint is going to provide lots of fun for my makeup this season.

The Color Lips-fit

The shade I got is PK001 and PK002

I am very intrigue with the formula for these lips-fit. They are those type of lip lacquer that goes on glossy but dries down to a matte finish. I haven't seen brands in Korea launching any products like this except for Clio's Lipnicure or maybe I have been missing out some releases in Korea.
They are very different than what the Korean is used to. These seem so pigmented.

I am excited to try this but I have been hearing not so nice things about these Lips-fit but we shall see, we shall see.

Etude House Skin-Fit Foundation 

The shade I got is N02. 

The bottle is really tiny and handy. You can just throw it into your makeup bag and bring it anywhere. 

I got intrigued by this foundation because of the 'fit' word. Approaching the summer months, I prefer makeup that fits and clings on nicely to the skin so it doesn't melt and go crazy in thus hot & humid weather in Malaysia. 

I have yet to try this foundation out but I will soon. 

Etude House Face Conditioning Cream

The Face Conditioning Cream is a makeup boosting cream that soften the complexion for an easy makeup application and also making the makeup to last longer. 

Sounds like a dream primer doesn't it ?

It comes with a normal version and a light version which I don't know the difference except the normal version comes in a light blue packaging and the light version comes in a pink packaging. 

I got the light version because the packaging is pink! 

I have used this cream for a few times and I would say it's an okay primer. I do not notice it softens my skin for an easier makeup application but somehow it does make my makeup last longer but not 12 hours or more.There's still slight foundation fading and melting away. 

So far in a complicated relation with this cream. 

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream in Blooming Fit

This is one of the new finishes of Precious Mineral BB Cream. I do not know what is the difference between this finish and the rest. There isn't any product explain in English that I could find on the web. 

Haven't tried this BB Cream but i comes in a generous amount of 60g. That can last me for a lifetime. 

The best for the last. 

Look at the packaging. Isn't it so cute? They look like macaroons!! 

They come in 3 shades - Pink, Mint and Beige

They are the cushion version of their Baby Choux Base so don't expect coverage from them. They make good colour correcting bases though. 

The sponge is in pink. Oh gosh. What a dream for a girly girl like me. 

Etude house haul : Sweet Recipe, Princess Etoinette

This two collections are the best collection Etude House ever released in a long time.

The packagings are to die for, it's so cute and sweet. 

It is the Etude House Princess Etoinette and Sweet Recipe line.

I am just so awed at how beautiful the packagings are. 

I got a total of six items from both lines.
There's face powders, eyeshadows, lipstick, base and multifunctional lip and check cream among the mix.

Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base.

I got them in Berry and Peach.

I got totally sold when I saw the cute CF of this product. The concept is just so cute.

The packaging reminds me of the bases from the Peach collection which are released in 2008.

The base are package in a glass tub. It's a little bulky but it adds a chic touch to the packaging.

Baby Choux Base in Peach

Baby Choux Base in Berry

These bases has a very nice fragrant in it, I really like the smell (might not be a good thing for those who is sensitive to scents).
They sure do look like whipped cream in a jar.

Sweet Recipe Chocolate Eyes

I totally fell for the cute packaging but it turned out the packaging wasn't all the great as I expected. It is on the flimsy side and the eyeshadow can just slide open because there's nothing to secure the eyeshadow so this palette can't be taken out for travelling, it would just slide away and break.

The eyeshadow slide open.
It looks like chocolate bar.

Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Colour in Strawberry Chiffon Cake.

The packaging and name is just too cute to resist. I wanted to get more of them. 

The Princess Etoinette line. The packaging is just so sweet, princessy and cute. 

The powder comes in a gorgeous pot container that is vanity deco worthy.

It comes with a really cute puff with lace and a pink ribbon.

It's every girl's dream puff. 

A close up of the design. 

The 'gold' plate of the word 'Etude' just glamed up the whole packaging.

The Lipstick. I ordered PK002.
The packaging is so cute and princessy, it is just to die for.

PK 002 is a bright rose pink. 

G-market haul #3

I placed orders to G-market through out when I was not at home, sometimes to get my mum's skincare and also my sister's Kpop CDs (that is also when I sneaked in to placed some orders of my items, well, well, to make the hefty shipping worth it)

I will be separating my G-market haul post according to batches. 

This haul is a birthday haul. It is fairly larger than most of my other Gmarket hauls. 

I got tons of skincare samples from high-end Korean brands, blushers, lip balms and primers.

First, I got two blushers from an unknown Korean brand to me, Tears.

It was on offer and I thought there's no harm to grab it and give it a go. 

The colours I got are PK01 and PK04. 

PK01 is a light baby pink.

PK04 doesn't look pink at all, I do not know why it has PK at its name. It is more of a brown tone orange. 

It opens side ways, took me awhile to realize that.

VOV Lipbalms. They are too cute to resist. 

Not to mention they are really affordable themselves.

Banila co. Primer Primer in Hydrating Shimmer

I heard many rave reviews on this primer so I just got one to try out. 

Actually, I wanted the hydrating version at first but it was out of stock, so I settled with the hydrating shimmer version. 

Chosungah Raw Dayshu Real Skin Fixer.

This is the most expensive item I got in this haul.

Chosungah is a skincare brand started by a Korean Makeup Artist - Cho Seong Ah.

This cream is like those of korean volumers and skinbase that provides the korean actress luminous face glow to the skin and It is a 'hit' in Korea. 

I read a review from Hope-in-a-blog, and from then, I just knew I had to get it. 

I am a fan of the luminous skin look because it 'cheats' flawless skin. When you face glows, it somehow takes away the attention from your skin imperfections.

If this is too expensive for you but you want to try something like this cream,there is some road-shop brand that have a dupe for this cream.

The one I know is Holika Holika Miracle Real Skin Finish. 

I got my cream from this seller. 

Next, I got skincare samples from Korean high-end brands like Sulwhasoo, History of Whoo and Su:m 37

Sulwhasoo Essential Firming Cream

Each sample has 5ml worth of product and they come in 22 pieces of samples. 

Su:m 37 Air Rising Dazzling Base. 

Each tube contains 17ml, there two tubes in each set of the sample, so that makes 34ml. That's close to a full size product at 40ml. 

History of Whoo Whitening Essence.

History of Whoo Secret Court Cream

There are two more items which I totally forgot to include in the 'group' haul picture.

Aritaum Mono Eyes. 

They are very soft so they crumbled during the transit. I need to go out to get rubbing alcohol to press them back. 

The colour I got is no 41. Swiss Veil and no. 43 Athens

Can't read Korean so I don't know the name.

The Aritaum eyeshadows are a big 'hit' in Korea due to their affordable price and great texture and pigmentation.

15th in Autumn

I shouldn't be hauling but finally the beauty shop restocked some items I have been eying.

It is better to grab them before they go off the rack again

Let's see what are the items I got.

Essence Colour & Shine eyeshadow, Maybelline Dream Fresh BB and Catrice Prime and Fine Primer.

Catrice Prime and Fine Primer. 

This goes off the shelves really fast! 

Last week it was all out of stock now after they restocked it, mine is the last one left.

So, have to grab it!

The product is pinkish with a semi balmy texture. From the texture you can sort of tell there's silicon going on in the product.

It is priced at 249RUB for 14g of product.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB.

This is one of the product I have my eyes on. I just wanna try it eventhough I know it won't surpass Korean BB creams. 

I am glad it came sealed. You don't know what people will do with the product when it is not sealed.
The texture is very liquidy I can predict the product is gonna create a mess at the cap.

I chose the lightest colour.
It is priced at 329RUB for 30ml. A little pricey for only 30ml worth of product.

Essence Colour & Shine eyeshadow in 02 Stage beauty. This is a steal.
I got it for only 49RUB on sale.

It is a beautiful bronze colour, suitable for an everyday look.
Plus point, the colour payoff is totally great for the price. My only grip is how hard it is to pop the lid open.
Other than that, so far, no complains!
