Etude House "SUNPRISE must daily SPF50+/PA+++"

Etude House "Sunprise Must Daily SPF 50+/PA+++"

by Violetta


This product is a face suncream, which should not be sticky and has a SPF factor 50, which is actually quite high. From my experiences I know, that is really difficult too find a suncream with SPF 50, which is not sticky, since this factor is really important for a facial cream.




BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRODUCT NAME: SUNPRISE MUST DAILY SPF50+/PA+++ 

PRICE: 11,10$

VOLUME: 50 g

 TYPE OF PRODUCT: FACIAL SUNCREAM

I bought this product on the Etude House online global store.

How Etude house describes the product on their global online store page:

"Protect skin from harmful UV: Surprisingly smart UV Cream, Sunprise!

1. Dwarf ground sedge extract & VitaDmax to protect skin.
2. Acai berry & Acerola to reinforce vitality of skin.
3. Aloe vera & Linden flower to hydrate skin."



The scent is a bit difficult to describe ...well it has something typical from the usual sun cream smell, but on the other side it is a bit different, more fresh and floral like. It smells a bit of perfume, but the smell is not to pushy and I personnal really like it.

The product is really nice to wear under other ines, like BB cream, powder and so on. It soeks in fast and I think it is not really sticky. I think it is more that your skin feels moisturized, but not really sticky. :) Your skin feels really soft after applying it. Your face is a bit more shiny than usual, but that depends in how many you apply. It goes really great with the Etude House "Zero Sebum Drying Powder" or with the Holika Holika "Sweet Cotton Pore Cover Powder" to prevent sebum and an oily skin. These are perfect if you want no shiny skin. (It doesn´t look to shiny, just very moisturized)




During the whole summer, I didn´t get a sunburn. I don´t know if it is only because of this product (because I use a view products with SPF), but I just wanted you to know.

All in all I have to say that product does what they promisse and I am really happy with it. My sister and me bought the product during an event, when you could get 2 of them for the price of one. And I think, since I have othe products with SPF, it is a bit expenssive If you get only one product for 11,10 $, but for two products it is a very very good price and if this product is included in an event next time, I will definitely repurchise it.

I hope you find this review usefull. Thank you for reading. f you like, please left a comment. Please follow us on facebook, too. We post every new review there! ;-)

We also have a new category we´re writing about. We call it "hairlekin". Please check this out. My sister tryes some hairstyles which are published by korean brands.

Etude House "Zero Sebum Drying Powder"

Etude House "Zero Sebum Drying Powder"

by Violetta

 


This was one of the new products I was the most curious about. It says that it provides skin without dryness or flakiness.It belongs to the series "Zero Sebum" which should remove sebum from skin or provides the skin of sebum. For those who didn´t know, sebum is the reason why blackheads arise. So these products should reduce the sebum so there couldn´t arise any blackheads. Etude House used cotton as an effective medium in their products, to serve the cause. ;-) 

I bought this product on www.etudehouse.com, which is the official global online store of Etude House.

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRODUCT NAME: ZERO SEBUM DRYING POWDER

PRICE: 8,50 $

VOLUME: 38 g

 TYPE OF PRODUCT: DRYING POWDER 




ADVANTAGES
  •  works really good for oily skin
  •  has a light smell of lemons, which gives you a clean feeling
  • the pad is really soft and takes on the powder really good
  • you don´t need much of the product and because of the interlayer with the holes, you don´t get to much on your pad
  • it also works for oily hair (stays for like 5 hours)
  • the skin feels very soft and smooth


DISADVANTAGES
  • for me it is really difficult to close the container, because the plastic is very stiff
  • I generally don´t like these sort of packaging, where the powder isn´t fixed, because there is an interlayer with little holes, where the powder comes out on the pad 
  • in seasons like summer, I had to renew it after 2 hours (in winter it works for about 5 hours)
  • in my case, the pad took on a bit of the bb cream I had on my face





CONCLUSSION

I have to say, that this product is really helpfull for my sebum-blackhead-problem. If you are on the road and you have sebum on your face, you can´t clean your face and remove the make up. This product is a good opportunity to protect the skin of sebum, when you are not at home. It doesn´t remove the sebum, but it dryes it, so that it could not produce new blackheads in the pores. I am really happy with the price and how it works. The biggest problem I have with it is that I can´t close the box as smoothly as I should, because the plastic is very stiff. They should at least include a mirror in the packaging and something to unclasp it, because if I am not in a bathroom, I can´t see how I applyed the product. Now I have to hold a mirror, the container itself AND put on the powder AT ONCE, which could be much easyer if the made an other packaging. ...  

All in all I have to say, that if I don´t find a better product, I am going to repurchise this one. But actually it is quite full, because I don´t use it in winter as often as in summer. It is really great to combinate it with the Etude House "Sunprise must daily SPF 50+", which is my personal tip for the summer. 

Soon I am going to upload a review about this product, too. ;)

Etude House "play 101 pencil" #1 #15 #27 part 1

Etude House "play 101 pencil"

 by Rosalie



Hello Lovelys,
today I wanted to write a review about the famous 101 pencils from Etude House. Seriously, the colour system is sooooooooo big. I think you can find each colour that you are looking for! It's amazing <33






For me it was difficoult to find the whole colour systeme but I think these pictures can give you a meaning of the colours :)


BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRICE: $7.80

TYPE OF PRODUCT: PENCIL TYPE EYELINER

  

I ordered one pencil (#1) at the EtudeHouse Globalstore and the other two (#15, #27) pencils are a gift from a friend from China.












My friend brought a box where the pencils were inside of. It's sooo amazingly cute! <33 



Each pencil has a different consistency. I think that's because you can use them for different parts in your make up, especially the black one as basical (#1) eyeliner, the orange (#15) one for cheaks and lips and the pink (#27) one for your eyes as eyeshadow. So I tried these different things out and I hope you can see how they work:




#27 is a glittery pink tone. the consistency is like a normal eye liner, as #1 from the play 101 pencil line. So it is really easy to apply it. I tend to blend it out after apply it to give it a softer look. An interesting thing is that if you have the #27 on you eye it is really easy to apply the #1. I don't know how to descripe it, its like a nice foundation for my eyeliner to smoothly get on my eye. It also worked with other pencil liner very well. The colour stays very long, really for the whole day.





Until now I used the #15 for my lips and for my cheeks. It is more moist as #27 and #1, so it is nice for your lipmakeup. As eyeshadow it is a bit to moist for me. It goes on very well but it doesn't stay for the whole day on my lips. So if I really wanted to use it as lipstick-like product for a whole day I have to bring it with me and reapply it. I don't think that this is a big problem because the pencils are small and not heavy, but I like to use lipstick ore a liptint more than using this "eyeliner" for this.


All in all I really like this product. It is nice that each pencil can have a different consistency, depends on for wich part of your make up the colour is maching. But it also is a disadvantage, because of this I don't really want to use the #15 as eyeshadow or the #27 for my lips.
Applying it is very easy and the colours came out well.


  Here is my part 2 (also about the etude house "snowy dessert play 101 pencil"), where you can find some other pencils, the #07, #50, #73 and #75.

So I hope my review was helpful for you. If you have any questions ore something you want to know please just ask.
We also would be very happy if you follow us on our facebook page!

We also have a new category: Hairlekin. I try to make different hair styles wich I found from korean brands ore wich I saw at the "Get It Beauty" shows! ;) If you are interested please read my blog! <3333 ;)

Tonymoly "Aquaporin Moisture Cream"

TONYMOLY "AQUAPORIN MOISTURE CREAM"

by Violetta

 

I bought this product as a 30 ml sample packaging, because the product is really expensive and I wanted to try it out. I don´t know where I bought it, but mine was for about 5 $ and the 40 ml one (which is the original one), was nearly 20 $, so I thought this is a good price for trying out this product.
Now you can buy it for over 60 $ on amazon, but I personaly think that is a bit to much, even if they´re not going to reproduce it anymore. I saw it on some korean cosmetic selling pages for around 15 - 17 $, but I haven´t tryed them out yet, so I can´t say if they´re shipping overseas or not.
 







This is a picture of the original packaging (including 40 ml)

































This is a photo of the example packaging which I got (including 30 ml)

ADVANTAGES:
  •  dryes really fast
  • is not even a bit sticky, but you can feel how your skin is more moisturized
  • has a very light smell of lemons, which gives you a very clean feeling (but I think if you don´t like lemons, this product is nothing for you)
  • you don´t need much of the product to moisturize the whole face


DISADVANTAGES
  • the price of the 40 ml version is very high


the product has a white texture, which is not too creamy, but more a bit liquid like (but it doesn´t runs off your finger)

here you can see thart the product (30 ml version) is actually not for sale ...


CONCLUSSION

I tryed this product for a long time now and I gave to say that it is really great. I have really oily skin and because it isn´t sticky and it dryes really fast, it is just perfect for my skin. I´m personally not going to repurchise it, because the original one (40 ml) for over 15 $ is just a bit to much for me as a poor student, but if you have the opportunity to get it for not to much money, or if you say 15 $ (if you find a place where they sell it that cheap) is not enough, because the product is actually really good, so it should have it´s price, then you actually should buy it. But I´m a person who always wants to try out new things (and in addition to that I can´t find it that cheap anymore), so I am not going to repurchise it.

Hairlekin: Braide Bun (Etude House)

Hairlekin: Braide Bun (Etude House)

by Rosalie

Hey everyone,
today I want to show you another hair tutorial wich I found at the Etude House website. 
It's called a braided bun and I was thinking that it looks really easy and nice on the picture, so I decided to try it on my own.
Let me say at the begin this is yust easy if you still have made this kind of braiding by yourself.
If not I think you have to learn how to do it at first, to really be able to make this hairstyle. ;) 


Ummm, yeah. Looks really easy!^^
So yust see how I was able to do it with my own hair! ;)

right side (originally step 2... sry for that!)

yeah, left side, originally step 1!^^






All in all I think my hair may be a bit short for this hairstyle. I wasn't able to really build up a bun with my hair, but I think this doesn't look so bad!^^
It's a new hairstyle and I like to wear it. I did it very often and never have problems!^^
So of you have shorter hair like me, don't be sad if you don't have such a nice bun like the model from Etude House! :D

I hope this review was helpfull for you. If you are interested in this "Hairlekin"-thing, please let me know. I still want to make some other hairstyles promoted by korean brands. I aslo think about to show you my own hair style ideas. If you like please let me know!^^

Innisfree Its Real Squeeze Mask (Kiwi)

Innisfree Its Real Squeeze Mask (Kiwi)

 by Rosalie


Hey everyone,
today I am gonna review to you my first product from the brand Innisfree.
I don't know if you have watched the Beauty Drama from Innisfree, but after this I was soooooo amazingly curious about Innisfree products! 


So I yust wanted to have one of these pretty products, too.
At that time I needed some new sheet masks, so I decided to order this it's real mask. Yust looking at the picture of the kiwi... AAAAWWWWWWWW, the pacaging is so adorable. I yust wanted to eat kiwi!!!!!!! :3

BRAND: INNISFREE

PRICE: $7.65 (7pcs)

TYPE OF PRODUCT: MASK SHEET


At this page you can order 3 pcs or 7 pcs (like I did).
They have some other types of mask sheets in this line, like rose, aloe, cucumber...)




Wearing the sheet on my face doesn't feel different from other mask sheets: it's cold, smells beautifull, but you couldn't move your face much. Nothing special about this! haha.
(If you look at my swatch picture you can see how awkward I look like with mask sheets on haha !! sorry for that!!! ahhahahahahahahahah!)^^




After taking the mask of my face has still much essence on, even after massage my face that my skin can absorb it bether, but the liquid stayes. So after a few hours waiting I yust have to wash my face with water, because with this oily feeling I cant sleep well, and I did the mask in the evening.
So I think this is a BIG fail of this product.
I'm so sorry Innisfree. I was ready to love your products, but I think they are simply not made for me.

So after using this mask I was always a bit scared about trying new Innisfree products. Until today I dont have buyed new Innisfree products, because I have read some other bad reviews about their  products. 

So in the end This doesn't worked for me. If you have tried it and you think it was nice please tell me. Or If you know some nice Innisfree products, please let me know! ;) 

I hope this review was helpfull for you. Please follow us on facebook, too. We post every new review there! ;)

We aslo have a new category we wanted to write about. We named it "hairlekin". Please check this out, too. I tryed some hairstyles wich are published by korean brands. I also think about showing you my own interesting hair styles. Yust wanted to know if you are interested! ;)

Skin Food "Premium Lettuce & Cucumber Watery Emulsion"

Skin Food "Premium Lettuce & Cucumber Watery Emulsion"

by Rosalie

 

Hi everybody,
today I want to review you my first product from the brand "Skin Food".
Seriously, I love the idea to have cosmetics wich are made with or from food, so yummy/funny! <33
The brand is a more expensive one but I always heard nice things about it so I was really curious about the brand and the products! ;)
At first I wanted to order a product with avocado (because lastly I am in love with avocado! hehehe) but because of my oily skin the avocado products wouldn't be good for me so I decided to order this Lettuce & Cucumber emulsion.



BRAND: SKIN FOOD
VOLUME: 140ml
PRICE: $18.45
TYPE OF PRODUCT: EMULSION
I ordered this product from cosmetic-love.com
(But seriously I think I don't payed $19. I think it was around $13...)
The bottle contains 140ml. At first before I ordered it I thought this is really much of product. But after getting this product (after a long time to wait for my order) I was shocked how small the bottle is. I am sorry if it's yust me but I thought that 140ml would be more...



Ok, you don't need much of the product so it isn't so bad that it isn't so much but I was shocked... really! :(
Anyway, I was a bit uneasy to get the product out of the bottle at first but after a short time it was easier.
After opening the bottle you can smell the sweet scent of the emulsion. I could'nt descripe this scent, I am really sorry, but I am in love with it. It is a bit fruity, but also like vegetables. A bit like parfum but not heavy or anything. Yust sweet and nice. the scent doesn't stay for long on your face so if you don't like products with such a smell it wouldn't be bad for you. 

The texture is very liquidy, so it is really nice for a face massage. 

You have to apply it at your face and then massage it in. It is really nice in the morning to wake up but as a soft moisturizer it did a nice job in the evening, too. But I think you shouldn't leave your moisturizer out only because of this product. In summer times it will be ok, but in winter it yust moisturize your skin softly and if you have dry skin in winter (or everytime) I think the moisturizing effect isn't enought. 
All in all I think this is a nice emulsion for people with oily skin because for an emulsion my face absorbs it very fast. After using it my face is incredibly soft <333333333
Really, this is a super nice product.
I am happy that I ordered it and I am in love with Skin Food until now! <3 hahaha
I hope this review was helpfull for you. If you have questions please feel free to ask! ;)
