Etude House "Play Nail" - Fall Collection (Part 3) #383 Aurora Apricot, #384 Black Forest

Etude House "Play Nail" - Fall Collection (Part III)

#383 Aurora Apricot, #384 Black Forest

by Rosalie

 

Hello Lovelys,
today is like a third part of the review about the "Play Nail" collection from Etude House, wich is REALLLLLY BIG!!!!!

Here you can find the links to the first and secound parts: 

PLAY NAIL PART I, #21, #23, #26, #76





PLAY NAIL PART II, #112, #114





For nail polish lovers like me this range is like a dream come true. You can find like every color in it wich you are looking for. Some times Etude House make some special collections with the polishes, like they do with this fall collection.

I ordered two colours: #383 Aurora Apricot and #384 Black Forest.

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRODUCT NAME: PLAY NAIL

PRICE: $3.30

TYPE OF PRODUCT: NAIL POLISH


I ordered these products at the Etude House Global Store.
The colour has a little shiny element in it. #384 has a goldish shimmer and #383 has a orangie shimmer. I think it looks really pretty. The colors are so beautiful for fall season but they also match wioth other seasons or themes.








Applying the polish is very easy. beside this the color stays on my nails very long. Basically longer than the normal german nail polishes. Thats one point I love on this range. :3

Showing you some swatches was a bit difficoult, because I also wanted to show you the shimmery effect, but you cant see it in every light. (But I think you can see the gold shimmery very good on the picture.) yeiii <3




As I said before I really love this nail polish range. So I also recommend you the other colors from the range. But you have to compare how the color look on the website and how it looks like in real. I think for these two colors the color look alike. But especially in the PLAY NAIL PART 1 you can see some huge differences how the color really looks like.

But this nail polish is one of the best ones I used so far!!! :)

I hope this review was a bit helpfull for you. You can also follow us on facebook if you are interested in more reviews from us! ;)
Also if you have some questions about the product please feel free to ask! :3

Etude House "Dr. Ampoule Dual Mask Sheet"

Etude House "Dr. Ampoule Dual Mask Sheet"

by Violetta



I was really curious about this mask, because I already tryed the "I Need You Mask Sheet" from Etude House, which I love so much. This one is a bit more expensive and I wanted to know if this one is worthwile.

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRICE: $4.60

TYPE OF PRODUCT: FACE MASK


How Etude House describes the product on their global internet store:


"What it is


Step 1. First Dr. Ampoule: Synergy ampoule
- A synergy ampoule for mask to apply first before applying Dr. Ampoule Mask. It manages keratin of rough skin after cleansing, hydrates, provides nutrition into skin, and helps Dr. Ampouble Mask sheet's contents get absorbed better and faster.

Step 2. Dr. Ampouble Mask: Cellulose fiber mask sheet
- Low-stimulus, high density, high adhesion mask sheet made of Cellulose fiber
- Containing full of contents between fibers and essential ingredients absorbed into skin deeply.
- Highly flexible sheet to be applied on face compactly to deliver high-adhesion special care.


I actually bought these during an event on the official logbal page from Etude House, so it was a bit less expensive than it is now. And since there was that event, there weren´t as expensive as they´re on the global store. I payed about $2.00 for each.

I got the VITAL CARE one.

"Vital Care: Mugwort leave water, Ceramide, Yeast extract, Royal jelly extract, Argan oil, Phellinus linteus extract, Soybean fermentation extract, and Capillary wormwood extract contained to keep skin hydrated and vitalized."



The First thing I recognized about this is, that the shape of the mask sheet is a bit better formed for my face (It fits more exactly). Also the material itself looks a bit softer and more high quality than the "I Need You Masks". 






All in all they´rre really similar to the "I Need You Masks", but these has one more step to do. At first I didn´t know how to use it, because it is barelly described in english, so I did a view recherches and find out how to use it.

HOW TO USE:

1.)  After cleaning and towel drying the face, put on the FIRST STEP, wich is a liquidy cream (looking like a moisture cream). In this case it is white / milky and smells really good(a bit flowery and fruity, in any case really clean for the skin).



2.) Just right after applying the cream all over your face, put on the actual mask sheet, which is included in the packaging of the SECOND STEP. (STEP 1 shoud helpto absorb the increadients on STEP 2)



My sister crashed the picture. HAHA!




3.) Leave it on for 15~20 minutes and remove the sheet. Rub in the excess product on your skin (during that, you can give yourself a little face massage) (with clean hands!) till it´s all absorbed. If you don´t like the feeling of the excess product on your face, because you should ot wash your face right after that, you can also remove it with a cotton pad or (but in my opinion it´s more effective if you don´t do that) wash it of with water careful.


4.) I personally use such sort of masks once a week (only twice a week if I really really need it). I often hear people who use it every day, but I am not a big friend of this, because if you give your face every day such a mask, it becomes natural for your face and then your face will come to a certain standart, where such masks can´t help anymore. And If you don´t use them on one day, your face will feel very bad. That´s why I only do this once a week, so that my face don´t gets even more problems than it has already now. :3





CONCLUSION

I think that this mask is visable helping my skin, but I don´t see a better result as from the "I Need You Masks". So I have to say that instead of these, I´m going to buy the "I Need You Masks" again. But If you want to try them, I can only recommend them, because they really do work and are made from / with more special inccredients and materials (as I mentioned before).

Etude House "Moistfull Aloe Real Soothing Gel 92"

ETUDE HOUSE "MOISTFULL ALOE REAL SOOTHING GEL 92"

 

by Violetta

 

 Since it´s winter now, I wanted to write a review about one of my favourite moisturizer. This one is a really special one, because it is not only for the face, but for the whole body. In addition to that, it is cooling down your face, which is not only interesting in summer, but in winter as well. ;)

This product is one of the ALOE MOISTFULL-collection.







BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRICE: now $7.70 (I purchaised it within an event for $5.00)

VOLUME: 300 ml

TYPE OF PRODUCT: SOOTHING GEL / MOISTURIZER


Description from Etude House:

This is an all-over moisture soothing gel that delivers quick moisture and soothing relief to exhausted and heated skin. (Application on both face and body recommended)
-Containing real pure aloe and baobab tree extract, This aloe gel delivers long-lasting rich moisture that provides moist, radiant and healthy skin.

I´m in love with this product. The consistence is really glibbery itself, but when you apply in tho the skin, you realize how watery it also is. It really feels like the real aloe plant and I am really happy about this lifelike feeling.
It is the perfect moisturizer in the morning, because it dryes really fast (if you don´t take to much of the product) and isn´t sticky at all)

I know that there are many similar products from other korean make up brands (like from Tonymoly, Innisfree ...) but I haven´t tryed them out yet.

I often use this product when my leggs are itching because of dryness. It is perfect, because when I don´t have much time to wait till it dryed, this one is really fast and helpsme with my dry skin. :)



here you can see the colour and the consistency. This amount is not big, but in the next picture you can see ...

that this was already to much. :D

Here is my pro and con list:

ADVANTAGES
  1.  cooling down effect for skin
  2. not sticky
  3. moisturizes really well
  4. dryes really fast
  5. you get a really big amount of it (good if you like it, but bad if you don´t do so)
  6. not only for face, but also for the whole body
  7. great smell (like aloe)
  8. you need just a small amount to cover a big area
  9. good price for a good service 

DISADVANTAGES

  1. In winter I have the feeling that I need more than this product only for my skin care routine. 

CONCLUSION


This is the perfect moisturizer in summer, and a really good one for winter. Since I personally have only one disadvantage, I am definitely going to repurchise this product. 


Thank you for reading. If you like, please leafe a comment. I am really curious about which moisturizer are your favourites and if this review was helpfull for you. ;)

Etude House "Beauty Shot Face Blur"

Etude House "Beauty Shot Face Blur"

by Rosalie



Today is like a special post, because I will write about the famous Face Blur from Etude House and will ask myself if it is that good if the brand itself sais or isn't it a helpful product.

First of the brand take many advertisement clips for this product, below I show you one of my favs! ;)


 Its just like Kristal (f(x)) helps every girl wich needs her help! haha! <33

Ok, now to the product. 

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRICE: $18.00

VOLUME: 35g

TYPE OF PRODUCT: PRIMER

I ordered this product at the Etude House Global Store, but I get it within a set, so I payed not exactly $18.  










Firstly, the packaging is cute and useful. You only pump one time and then you get enough product for one use. The first thing I noticed was the smell. It is very strong firstly when the product came out, but after applying it gets lighter. It smells like parfum but its like always hard to describe. If you ever have used a Etude House product then you know this typical kind of smell wich the products have. The smell of Face Blur is just a bit more parfum like. I can imagine that some people really can hate this smell for a faceproduct, but I personally like it (and I am really sensitive with smells). So I think this depends on you.

Th eproduct came out in one colour, so at first I was a bit nervous if the tone will fit to my skin. But the cream is really light and easy to blend so I think this can fit to many skin tones.
I tried to make some swatches for you to see the result in using this product:

 I always have problems with the big pores around my nose area so I show you this area to may see the biggest difference between before and after. I think you can see that the pores look smaller so in that kind of way it workes. 

The product is supposed to: smooth, hide pores, tone up your skin. It also have sun protection in it. (SPF 33 PA++)
For the first two things I think it worked. But I am not really sure it it toned up my skin, because the cream is REALLY light.

Also I cant say that this pore hiding and smoothng effect is really a big effect. Its hard to really see the difference. I personally dont see a difference in just using BB Cream or using Face Blur beforehand.

So what I really think is that this product isnt necessary for doing my make up. Only BB Cream work the same.

The baddest fact is that the product is kind of really oily or something. If you use it and apply BB Cream over it you shine like a star in the dark! :D haha My skin was sooooooo shining and like oily. I used much powder to get rid of this oily look but then I look like I was falling in a powder bowl! haha

So applying it at first is easy but get rid of the oilyness in a nice way is difficoult.
In the end I dont really like the product. My favourite primer (Etude House Baby Choux Base - Mint) is muuuuuuuch nicer!!!

I dont know how I will use this product now in a nice way, so if you have good ideas please I would be so happy to know them! :P
