ETUDE HOUSE Happy New Year Collection 2017

ETUDE HOUSE Happy New Year Collection 2017

by Violetta

New Year New Luck!

Hey Loveliez,
I´m so happy to see you again in 2017. As you might now, 2017 is the chinese rooster year. To celebrate it, ETUDE HOUSE did a new year collection this year again. So this time they´re featuring ... well, I would call it more a chicken than a rooster, but you should know what I mean. :D

ETUDE HOUSE send us these products in cooperation with the Pink Bird membership.

For this, they redesigned and reinvented one of their most famous lip product, the "Color In Liquid Lips", and one of their most famous eye products, the "Look At My Eyes".

Here you can find some more informations about this NEW YEAR COLLECTION.

GIVE ME LUCK Color In Liquid Lips JUICY"

The design is so cute. I really like the color gradient, but I think it´s only printed on the bottle, because I can´t see anythink of the yellow inside. But anyways, it just looks super cute. ^^

First, let´s start with the lip product. Here we have a redesigned "Color In Liquid Lips" collection with 5 brand new shades. As you might know, beside the "normal" "Color in Liquid Lips", ETUDE HOUSE also came up with some redesigns and new colours for this collection like the "BERRY DELICIOUS Color In Liquid Lips". I´m personally really in love with all of them, but I really encourage you to check them out, too.

But to come back to these ones, here are some informations about the product:

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRICE: $ 12.40

VOLUME: 3,5 g

TYPE OF PRODUCT: liquid lipstick

here you can get it from the official global ETUDE HOUSE online store: http://www.etudehouse.com/index.php/color-in-liquid-lips-juicy-1701.html

In the picture above, you can see a swatch of the color #OR212. As the name of it says, it has a really fruity and grape like smell. I really like it. The pigmentation itselfe also remembers me of a grapey juice, because it is not so intense pigmented, more like a gloss, but not even a bit as sticky as one. It gives your lips a really natural color. And I really like the texture.


They should not only give your lips some color, but also moisturize them. I think they really do, but the moisturizing effect is not so much more comparred to the BERRY DELICIOUS ones.

The applicator looks really alike to the "BERRY DELICIOUS Color In Liquid Lips", but I personally preffered the "normal" one a bit more. Nevertheless, this applicator is also really great to apply the product, but to be honest, since this product isn´t the most pigmented one, it is really easy in general to apply it. ;-)


ALL IN ALL I really like all of the "Color In Liquid Lips" products in general, but I think the price from the online store is a bit high. These really remember me of the BERRY DELICIOUS ones, not only because of the applicator, but also because of the smell, the texture and the pigmenation. But I really like them. For me, it´s like they added some new colors to the BERRY DELICIOUS collection, but that should not be a big problem, since they´re so nice. So I can really encourage you to try them out if you can, because they´re so cute.

"GIVE ME LUCK Look At My Eyes"

Also, the design is really cute. But if you ask, I can´t tell why some of the containers are yellow and some are white. I just think that the color should simbolize the egg white and yellow, but why which color is yellow or white, I really don´t know. :)


Here are some informations:

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRICE: $ 5.20

VOLUME: 2 g

TYPE OF PRODUCT: eyeshadow

Here you can get them on the official ETUDE HOUSE global online store: http://www.etudehouse.com/index.php/look-at-my-eyes-1701.html

You can get these eyeshadows in 10 different shades. Some of them are more glittery/shimmery, some are mat, but the pigmentation is always really well.

ETUDE HOUSE send us 4 different colors, which match each other really well. But since all the colours from this collection are really warm toned and in brown/grey/plum/red/pink shades, they all match really well.

As you can see, the colors are really intense and highly pigmented. They´re really well blendable and all colours are so nice to combinate. But I also like to use them as single shadows, means only one color on my eyes.


If you are interested, click HERE to get to our review about the ETUDE HOUSE "Look At My Eyes" collections, to know more about this whole eyeshadow collection. ^^

So ALL IN ALL I really love these eyeshadows, each color the same and I can only recommend them. The price is ok, since the colors and the pigmentation is so great. So if you are interested, I really recommend them. :)




Thank you for reading. I hope you find this post interesting. Please leave a comment if you have any question about one of the products, or if you want to tell us your opinion. We always love to hear from you. :-)

Holika Holika "Jewel-Light Waterproof Eyeliner #5 brown amber, #10 chocolate citrine

Holika Holika "Jewel-Light Waterproof Eyeliner

#5 brown amber, #10 chocolate citrine

by Rosalie

Hi my lovelies,
today I will write about my latest favourite eyeliner.
I have watched some makeup tutorials, also from PONY, and I am in love with the eyelooks created by brown eyeliner. The eye's look so soft and dreamy! I only had black eyeliners but with the decision to buy a brown one I also decided to try out this eyeliner collection "jewell-light waterproof eyeliner" from the korean brand Holika Holika.

BRAND: HOLIKA HOLIKA

TYPE OF PRODUCT: EYELINER

WHERE TO BUY: JOLSE:COM

PRICE: $5.80

I ordered two brown colors: #5 (brown amber) and #10 (chocolate citrine). In total the collection has 12 different colors you can choose from. There are also some light colors you can use for your aegyosal or something different than only the eyeliner.

 

I wanted to have this eyeliner because I thought that there is the mechanism to turn the upper end and get more out of the pen. But I only have looked at the pictures (so it's my own mistake) so I didn't noticed that there isn't such a mechanism. What you see there is like the cup for the inside of the pen, where they closed it up. To get more of the eyeliner you have to sharpen the pen... yes, you have to sharpen the plastic!!!!!

I think if I have known this beforehand I wouldn't have buyed the product, cause I cant imagine to sharpen plastic.... NOT AT ALL!
But after trying it I think it's not so bad. It is really soft so no problem with the sharpening.

 

 

I think you cant see the glitter in #5 so well, but it's also hard to see it on the eye. (Yes, color #5 is with glitter...)
Plus I think both colors really look alike. Hm....
When I have freshly applied the product you can blend the color as you can see on the picture. But after waiting two minutes the color really stay and it also is waterproof.
The texture of the pen mine is soft so it's really nice to apply it on your eye.
I like the (one) color really much!


So after all of that I can say I really like thee product. You cant see the glitter but that's not such a big deal for me. I like the color and it goes nicely onto my eye. And for this quality the price is ok. So I can recommend this product to you if you are searching for a soft waterproof eyeliner. I personally love it. And now the pen is nearly empty and I think I will buy a nother one again! <33


I hope this review was helpfull for you.

I also would be really happy if you follow us on facebook and twitter to never leaf a new review out! <33 

hwarang - new episodes + "waiting and crying makes more fun together!"

hwarang - new episodes +

"waiting and crying makes more fun together!"

by Rosalie 

 

 +++spoiler alarm+++

 

Hi everyone,

a few weeks has passen away since my last post about the kdrama "hwarang - the beginning"
(LINK: http://twinblogg95.blogspot.de/2017/01/hwarang-beginning-k-dama-review.html )


and I hope you are still fired af waiting for new episodes from this drama! <33333

I think waiting is the hardest. Especially for the people who can't understand korean (me) but still wanna watch the new episode on the first day. I found myself watching episodes and episodes without subs, my laptop (old maschine...) cracking by the beautyfull men and yeah... just the dramatic ending of each episode.

Anyway, I wanna talk with you about the latest things that happened in the story and really want to hear your opinion!!

Things are goint to be really interesting for everyone. The hwarang member got closer but still there isn't pure friendship between them. Ji Dwi kissed Ah Ro, so he really tried to get closer to her. But still I think she isn't that much interested in him... I mean she thinks that he simply is a pervert.

Ji Dwi kissing Ah Ro

She is loving ("fake") Sun Woo, but is complicated about her feelings since she isn't allowed to love him cause they are siblings. But now she found out that he can't be her brother, they fought much but after Sun Woo having an accident by riding a horse she tells him her feelings and (surprise surprise...) he kissed her.

Sun Woo kissing Ah Ro

(I am feeling like I am only posting kissing pictures! lol)

Beside this crazy triangle love story there is Soo Ho's sister. She is beginning to be in love with Ban Ryu, the enemy of her brother.

Soo Ho talking with his sister about Ban Ryu, his enemy.

But Ban Ryu himself has problems within his family. His (adopt) father want him to sabotage hwarang and become the new king of silla, wich means he is the instrument for the people who are against the queen and the royal family. But at this point of the story I think Ban Ryu don't really wants to become the king and stuff...


Plus I think he really likes Soo Ho's sister but right now it's impossible for both to be together (because her family is pro royal family).


So now we become a bit closer to all that politic stuff the drama is about.

The king decided to be in hwarang (as we all may know) but he lost his bracelet to Sun Woo in a fight in episode 2. Sun Woo don't know the owner of the bracelet but he knows that the owner of the bracelet is who killed his friend, the real Sun Woo. So he decided to kill this person as a revenge. He is wearing the bracelet to always remind that.

The bracelet of the king, found by a stranger...

But suddenly he lost the bracelt, the symbol of the king. (Somehow everyone knows that this is the kings symbol except of Sun Woo...) and was found by a boy who works for the "contra queen" people.


Before that happened, Ah Ro got kidnapped by the queen because she found out that Ji Dwi is the king and now she wants to kill Ah Ro.


But Ji Dwi was able to save her and now he is sharring this secret with the girl he is in love with.


After a few days there was this big poster in the hwarang house, saying that the king is in hwarang house.

A scroll that was found in the hwarang house

So right now everyone is thinking how may be the king. Sun Woo found the symbol on this writing, wich is the same as on the bracelet. That's why he now knows that the killer of his friend must be the king.

Because Sun Woo came new into the capital and Ji Dwi came from the west, these both are the ony ones who may be the king, that's what everyone is thinking. But they came to the conclusion that Sun Woo must be the king and now everyone is thinking this.

Now everyone think that Sun Woo is the king

After a while the teacher found out that Ji Dwi must be the king and told him, but I personally think that he wouldn't tell anyone about it cause he knows what this will mean for him. There are so many killers out there who wants to kill the king and if the king will be death the queen never get away from the throne, or the people who are against her are getting the throne.

More and more people find out who really is the king.

Ji Dwi told Son Woo that he is his very first friend in his life but still he can't say that he is the king!!!
His only frind wants to kill him so he can't tell him his biggest secret.
But Sun Woo now is thinking that Ji Dwi is the king! OMG!!!
And the 12th episode ended with Sun Woo holding the sword on Ji Dwis neck... I might die here as well! How can they end the episode like this???

And there is so much time between now and the next episode, I hope everything will go well.
(All fangirls out there, we have to be strong... TOGETHER!!!)

Sun Woo asking Ji Dwi if he is the king (in a really kind way... :D )

This is it about the story that far. What do you think?? Should Sun Woo kill the king? Is he really the one who killed his friend?

Which parring are you shipping the most? Ah Ro with Ji Dwi or with Sun Woo?


I personally think that they should stay as siblings and Ji Dwi should become her boyfriend (or however I can call it in that time...), because I think he is more carrying about her. And he is in love with her for such a long time and he don't even has a family. She can be his family, the only family that is possible for him.

And what do you think about the relationship between Ban ryu and the sister of Soo Ho?

If you want to hype this drama as I do please feel free to do it! <3 haha!!!!

"Hwarang - The Beginning" K-Drama Review

"Hwarang - The Beginning"

K-Drama Review

by Rosalie

  
Hi my Lovelies,
today I want to write about a K-Drama I am watching currently.
I have the feeling like I simply HAVE TO write about this since it makes me crazy that this is an "ongoing" drama and I am already done with watching all episodes that were released so far! :D

I normally watch older dramas just because there are all episodes already released and if I am in the mood to watch the whole weekend just this drama I am able to harhar! But this time it's different.

I heared that Taehyung (V of BTS) has played in a drama, his first job as an actor. So I decided that I want to watch the drama anyway, but after seeing that Minho (from SHINee) playes in this drama as well I cant help but start to watch this right away! :D

The drama playes around 1000 years ago in Korea. (I love how all the people are dressed in this drama! <333 well done!) 


To make it simple about the story: There are 3 kingdoms and the story is about is the weakest kingdom of them. The king suddenly died and the queen with the young king was left all alone. Now the queen got the role of the head of the kingdom and the young king was gone to nowhere. Now he is back after many years and want to beat his mother. The queen doesn't want him to be the king right away and decided that he need's some kind of army or knights (to beat him up? or to let him stay save?`We don't know at this point...), they want to build the "hwarang"!

On the other side there is this young man Moo Myung (we don't really know much about his past) he comes with his friend to the city to search for the friends family. Due an accident his friend saw the kings face and a knight killed him because of this. Moo Myung found his friends father right after his friend died. They decided to tell everybody that Moo Myung is the lost son, but he want's to get revenge for his dead friend. So it happened what have to happened, he got caught by trying to get the revenge and now he needs to do whatever the queen tell him to keep the family of his friend save. So he ended up to be a hwarang.

The king doesn't let his mother do whatever she want's so he also managed to be a hwarang. And with that the story really can begin, because there is also this one sided lovestory from the king to the sister of the friend of Moo Myung... and all that K-Drama stuff! :D

(hm... I think it's really hard to descripe the story in short and easy words, sorry for that! :D)

The story really is good, right after watching one episode (one hour long) I wanted to continue!! :D <33

The release date of the drama is from decembre 19. 2016 to feburary 21. 2017.
New episodes will be aired on monday and tuesday 22:00 kst at KBS2. (For english subbed episodes of course we have to wait longer... 😑 )

The catching thing here is that all actors really are beautifull. OMG!!! I really can't stand this! :D

main actors

I am so impressed of how beautiful the King looks! I fell in love with his character sooooo much!  <3
I mean, how can a man look more beautiful with long hair than I do! :D They should always have this hair style! <333 

King spam #1 - I really mean HOW can a man look so perfect?! HOW???

King spam #2 - please your highness, sleep on my shoulder as well! 😍

King spam #3 (OMO He really knows how to catch my heart!<333)

Haha!! 💓💓💓 
(sry for that!!)
But he is so nice and has a pretty interesting background story. He is soooo arrogant but somehow handsome with beeing like this! *__*

 I definitely want to continue watching this drama, I hope that the story will go on as well as it started! <3
Because on one side you have this stiff but somehow adorable K-Drama humor but on the other side I think the drama is really bloody, too! :D
I mean there is a boy, slapped easily and then his face is all bloody! o.O
(I don't want my king to be hurt! I DONT WANT THAAAAAT!!!)
Right after watching 6 episodes I am a bit sad that Taehyung has a smaller role but anyway he is adorable! FIGHTING TAEHYUNG!!! <33

If you are searching for a nice new drama to watch, this is definitely one I can recommend, but it is troublesome if you hate ongoing dramas and waiting for the next episode as I do! :D

And beside that, Jin and V (BTS) joined in the OST for this drama, really cool if you ask me because after "WINGS" I am in love with Jin's voice. (I loved V's voice anyway!<3)

I hope you enjoyed this review. If you watch this drama, too, please let me know who is your favorite character?! Or do you have some nice other K-Dramas to recommend??

Innisfree "auto eyebrow pencil" #ash_brown, #gray, #espresso_brown

Innisfree "auto eyebrow pencil" #ash_brown, #gray, #espresso_brown

by Rosalie

Hi everyone,
today (finally) I want to write about one of my absolutely favourite products lately: it's the "auto eyebrow pencil" from the korean brand INNISFREE.

Before around 2 years I was of the opinion that doing the eyebrowns looks to bold and unnatural in your face. Just as you have something laying on your face that shouldn't be there! :D strange!!!

But after I watched the INNISFREE beauty dramas (reviews: 

Sweet 20's, beauty drama review

Beautoligy, beauty drama review

) I was kind of in the mood to try some of the product's I have seen in the dramas. So I decided to try out the eyebrow pencil. I loved how natural and beautyfull the girl's eyebrows looked. :3


Anyway, now let me tell you some details about the product:

BRAND: INNISFREE

TYPE OF PRODUCT: EYEBROW PENCIL

7 COLOURS AVAILABLE

PRICE: AROUND $5

I bought the product from Jolse (LINK: http://jolse.com/product/innisfree-auto-eyebrow-pencil-03g/) in 3 colors: #ash brown, #espresso brown, #gray 

Here you can see the full color system:

They really made many colour's, some cold and warm and also light ones. So even if you have light eyebrow's you may find a color that you like.

The product itself came with the pencil side and with the brush side, wich is quite handy, because with this it is really easy to manage your eyebrow hair! :D

To get this kind of pigmented color (in the swatch) I had to use some strength on the pencils. Normally they are more from the hard consistency, so if you apply it onto your eyebrows there isn't a big bold line of color. Also because of this oval shape it is really easy to apply the product and my browns look's still natural! <33

Here you can see the 3 color's on my eyebrows:

 I think that there isn't suuuuch a big difference between these 3 colors. (So it may wasn't necessary to make such a big color palette to choose from. This is sometimes really hard for me to choose a colour and in the end they all look alike :D)

But anyway, I like every colour and I love the product itself absolutely! It really gives me the posibillity to draw my brows (becausse they get much lighter after applying my base makeup, so drawing them is neccessary!!) and still have a natural look. 

I hope this review was helpfull for you and please leaf a comment if you have a question (or if you wanna tell us something!<3)!

We would be really happy if you'll follow us on facebook and twitter to never leaf out a new review! :3
