Etude House Haul

Ok the day after I found out about Etude House in Festival Mall I went back there initially to get the shoes I bought changed since I got the wrong pair

I then went to Etude House and decided to buy some polishes. I had a mini budget of 500 php (around $10) so I could get the Pink Membership card there. I actually nearly went to 1,000 php (about $20) because the polishes looked so pretty and I got a couple of eyeshadows as well. Whats funny about that experience is that I had a list of things I wanted to buy before I even payed for the things I got.

Here are the pics of the haul

The really cute packaging

What was inside the bag.

L-R: Nail art pen in red, Frech manicure polishes in white and black (I use these for nail art instead but they do work nicely when you want a french tip), silver nail polis, mauve pink nail polish, top coat and base coat. Eyeshadows in orange and nude

I dont really have the names of the colors because they are in Korean and I cant read Korean yet

Here is the pink membership card but for some reason it turned orange on my cam. The shade of pink of this card is the same the the packaging of Etude House

The free Lee Min-Ho folder I got for my purchase and the info paper about the Pink Membership card which is also pink XD

Then after that I remembered that I wanted to buy some Sally Hansen base/top coat. I got there for a buy one take one promo. Kinda feel stupid though cause I about a base and top coat at Etude House before I got these. I forgot I was planning on buying these

This has nothing to do with the haul since I got this the day before this haul but I just remembered I got this card because of the Pink Membership card from Etude. I got this since this can get me points from the MAC stores here since Rustans is the distributor of MAC here.

I'm going to post some looks after this and a little nail art I did as well

Diversity

I suddenly had this thought after reading my friends blog here http://chenachen.blogspot.com/2010/03/kamotetv-shooting-ikemen-henshins-sm.html

I thought "Oooooh I wanna blog about things like that too" but when I made this blog for the first time I decided that I would just blog about things that I think are important or at least something that wont be considered as spamming but when I did that I could barely blog cause not everything in my life is exciting to others or I just plan forget.

After that when I got into make up I thought I why not make my blog a beauty blog but then that takes a lot of time and money to do that. I also wanted to blog about my life in general now because of what Chena said, that I can blog about anything even if they seem a bit out of the blue. So if I did that this blog would be a mix of all my interest making this place seem chaotic but then I thought "Why not, it just shows that I am intested in quite a few things".

So starting now I'll blog about make up, photography, cosplay, my friends, etc. Anything that would just interest me that I would like to share with everyone. Hence the title of this entry as well the my blog title in Livejournal. I will be only doing this here and in my Livejournal account.

I really had a lot more to say but somewhere while typing this it got lost. So thats it for now cause my head is starting to ache and I need some sleep

Till the next time (which will hopefully be soon)

Etude House YAY

Today we went to Festival to buy some foundation and shoes for our graduation. So we went to Robinsons since I had to find a nice pair of shoes that are cheap (altough I do have to return them since I got the wrong style -_-). After buying some shoes we decided to go home already since it was getting pretty late and a few steps out of Robinson I saw Etude House. I was surprised since I wasnt expecting it at all, I immediately ran over there. Really I did, the ones who were with me were surprised that I ran and they thought I just saw a cute guy XD LOL

I was so happy that we have an Etude House that is more accessible. I didnt really get anything since I didnt have much money anymore but I am planning on buying some of their nail art polishes that I played with while at the store. Now I must save up money to get those and a few more products. ^____________^

Its located at the 2nd floor of Festival mall near Robinsons

Swatches: NYX lipsticks and Elianto eyeshadows

Here are the swatches of the NYX lipsticks and Elianto eyeshadows I got from my last haul. Tea Rose was not from my last haul but I decided to put up a swatch of it anyway. Hope you guys enjoy

NYX round lipstick are really creamy and feels so nice on the lips. They definitely dont dry out your lips and I love that about these lipsticks

Bruised: A really deep burned purple brown


Chloe: Fushcia with blue sparkles


Fire: A really bright pink that looks like a bright red


Iris: Sheer nude with lots of gold spakles


Tea Rose: Pinkish mauve

I had to apply Iris quite a few times to have it show up on my skin since its really sheer

Plush red lipliner

Pinky lipliner

Sorry for the blurry picture

Elianto Eyeshadows are pretty good for the price but you have to pack them a bit to get the best results and you really have to use a base for these. These eyeshadows have a soft texture and they arent chalky at all. They have a lot of matte eyeshadows the first time I look and I am looking forward to trying more of them.

Olive green is not completely matte, it has a small amount of gold sparkes in it while Golden yellow is completely matte but it wasnt hard to blend.

My retail theraphy haul

Last week I came back from a 1 week trip in Mindoro where we had to live with the Mangyans. After a little rest I decided to go and give myself a retail theraphy ^___^

I will create a seperate post for the review and swatches so that it wont be a confusing post. Well for me at least XD

I got some stuff from Etude House, Elianto, NYX, MAC and LUSH

Here are seperate views of what I got from each brand
Etude House

L-R: Eye & Lip make up remover, Vivid false eyelashes, Oh my lash length and volume mascara, Collagen eye patch and Green tea face mask. I also got a Acne foam cleanser that I forgot to take a picture of -_-

The little tube in the pic is a sample size of thier Precious mineral BB cream that I got free for all my purchase.

Elianto (Korean cosmetic brand)

L-R: Golden yellow and Olive green

I have never actually heard of this brand before but I saw this while I was passing through the cosmetic department of SM megamall and decided to try them out since they had such nice colors. They are also pretty affordable for around 120 php for a 4g worth of product.

They do actually have a pallete that could hold up to four eyeshadows but it was too big. I think its about more of less half the size of the MAC pallete that hold 15 eyeshadows.

NYX

L-R: Lip liners in Plush red and Pinky. Lipsticks in Fire, Chloe, Iris and Bruised.

The one lipstick on top is called Medusa and I got it for my friend so I wont be able to post a swatch of that one, sorry.

MAC

Brush cleaner, Viva Glam V and Painterly paint pot

Yes I gave in and bought painterly, I wasnt really planning on getting this but I just had to buy it when I saw it.

LUSH

L-R: Demon in the dark, Herbalism and Figs & Leaves

I love the smell of their store. I cant wait to go back there to try out more of thier stuff

As you can see I spent quite a bit of money that I had saved up but it was worth it. It was just too bad that my friend couldnt come since she had something to do. Oh well maybe next time we can shop together.

On this trip to MAC I wanted to get matched for a foundation but sadly I couldnt cause I am currently darker than what I used to be and I didnt want to buy a MAC foundation that I wont use that much. So I decided that I will just go back there after I go back to my original color.

So time to save up some money again so I can buy more MAC and LUSH when I go back.

New to blogspot

Hi there everyone, well I made another blogging account after deciding that I will revive my livejournal one

Still figuring out how things work here, hopefully I can customize my site soon. It seems that its easier to customize the site here
