REVIEW: Etude House Proof 10 Liquid liner and Drawing Eyebrow

Here's another review after MIA for awhile. As promised, I'll be reviewing the stuffs I bought at Etude House SM Cebu branch a couple of months ago.

So I bought the Proof 10 Liquid Liner just to try my luck from it. I am a gel liner user for 2 years already and I thought I was satisfied with it. Not when I first tried the EH Proof 10 liquid liner. It was love at first try (if there's such saying!), seriously I felt instantly inlove on how the brush tip glides easily on my eyelids. I can make a winged - eye look easily because of it's fine tip. It's size is just perfect when using and bringing anywhere even in your small pouch. True to its claim, it is waterproof. It doesn't smudge easily nor crack. Once it's applied, it dries fast that you don't even have to wait that long to apply another coat or mascara. I, myself have oily lids so wearing this liquid liner was never a problem. This is now my favorite liquid liner so far.

On the other hand, Etude House' Drawing Eyebrow is another favorite. I can fill in sparse areas of my eyebrows without looking like an old - lady - with - a - tattoo-ed - eyebrow. Haha. Honestly, it's just the right shade of brown (I got #2) which looks natural when applied. This is easier to bring around your make-up kit because it's retractable and you don't need to bring all the time a sharpener unlike other eyebrow pencils. The other end actually has a spoolie brush which you can use to tame unwanted hairs before or after. What's great is that it cost only 178 pesos if I remember correctly and it's refillable as well.  I'm actually on my second refill now because I love it so much.

P.S. I am not a pro in applying eyeliner, this is the best I can do. Not as good as others maybe so forgive me. :)

On a lighter note, I've read good reviews of Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner and Majolica Majorca, I might try one of these soon.

How about you, what's your favorite eyeliner so far?

Etude House Review and Fashion Haul

I have been meaning to visit Etude House for the longest time now, so when I had the chance to visit the mall I stopped by there. At first, I wanted to purchase the EH Lucid Darling lipstick in #05 which is a Barbie pink in color. Unfortunately, it was out of stock. It must be the "it color" girls choose over other colors. I didn't want to settle for another lippy from there because I really wanted that certain color which I read from the web all the awesome reviews.And  I also wanted the Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Baby Pink so I just let go of my eagerness to buy a lipstick at Etude House. I just search the store for another stuffs that I might like. Luckily I found the perfect brow pencil in brown! It was love at first sight because I've been dreaming of a brow pencil in a perfect shade of brown and not to mention it was priced at less than 200php! I also got the Happy Tea time cleansing cold cream in Milk Tea. The saleslady suggested I get the other variant for oily face but I wanted milk for my skin so there I never listened and follow my heart! I've been using this for a week already and my skin loves it! I love the consistency, not to thick and easy to apply and rub on the face. I can see the make-up that is removed from the tissue. I love the smell too. Lastly, I got the Romantic Beauty Stand which is perfect for my new dresser that I ordered (will post pictures soon!). This is where I will probably place my comb, brushes, or my mascaras, brow pencil, etc. Not make-up brushes because they're just gonna collect dust from there. Not so hygienic :(

Happy Tea Time Cold cream's creamy texture contains milk protein to remove dirt and make-up while keeping skin moisturized with the pleasant fragrance of tea

I also visited the department store and got a few stuffs. I got a maxi dress perfect for this summer. A lace top and corset which I have yet to figure out how am gonna style it. A bandeau top and leopard print sunglasses. Then I got a striped top from F&H and laced sleeveless top from Bayo. (sorry seems like I was just enumerating everything!haha).

And yay for another pair of Levi's! And I'm a slight curve! Finally I'd be able to claim my Levi's loop metallic ID soon.

Off to French Baker to have lunch with Mama and brother. I love their Honey roast pork in a L' orange!

Review: Etude House and Lioele Korean Products

Hi guys! So sorry for MIA, I was literally very busy with my IELTS review that I never got to update my blog for awhile. The review is really taking much of my time even if it's just a 2-hour review. I'm actually reading and writing more now in preparation for the exam by the end of June. I hope I'll do well. I'm crossing my fingers. =)

Anyways, as promised, I'll be doing a review on my recent Etude House and Lioele products. So here it is.

Etude House Dual Fibre Cheek Brush


I got this brush from Ebay and it comes with this plastic packaging/protection something. I read a lot of good reviews about this so I tried it myself. I've actually used this for 3 weeks already since I purchased it, and I've washed it twice. I love using this when applying my foundation or BB cream, but I also tried using this for my blush. So the verdict, there wasn't a lot of shedding. I actually just noticed 1 or 2 hairs from the very first time I washed it. The hair is also very smooth that it doesn't poke your gentle skin. I also love how dense the hairs are. As you can see the pictures below in close up. It also gives you that airbrush effect after using this which I totally love.


I heard this is a good dupe for the expensive Mac 188, so I'm very happy that I discovered this brush.


I'm giving this 4.5/5 rating. The price is good. I bought this for 470php but you can purchase this directly from the Etude House boutique for a cheaper price.


Lioele Blooming Cushion Touch Blusher

I first heard about this Korean brand from Jen of frmheadtotoe . She gave it a positive review so I tried it myself. The packaging is really cute. It comes in this pink jar with cover. Inside you can see a cute puff that you will use to buff on your cheeks. This product comes in 2 colors only: pink and peach. At first, I had difficulty deciding which color to pick because in the first place, I have too many pinkish blushes already but I really want the pink packaging. So I finally chose this pink over the peachy one.


In the beginning, I had a hard time applying the color on my cheeks. The color was hard to build up. I had to buff it really well so the color would just show up. But when I got to use this more often, I finally learned how to use it well. I don't anymore find it hard to apply because as the the time passed by, the blush almost stayed on the puff so building your desired color was easier.

I'll probably give this product a 3.5 /5 since I'm still more comfortable in using a brush for my blush. And maybe I'll get to use this more often when I'm really in a hurray. In that way, I won't have to grab a brush but instead, I'll just buff this on my cheeks and I'm ready to go.


Fresh Cherry Tint


I find this a very refreshing lip tint. After application my lips really feel refresh. It also gives a little pinkish color. But after awhile, my lips feel dry. I'm probable giving this a 3/5 rating.

Lioele Princess-y Mirror

I got this cute pink mirror because it looks so adorable. It comes in 2 colors: fushsia pink and pink. I got the pink one.



I'm sharing to you in my next post my recent haul including some tops and jeans. =)

Etude House and Lioele mini haul

After 2 days my package finally arrive. I got few items from Etude House and Lioele in ebay. Since I learn about Etude House, it has become my favorite beauty store. The problem is that we don't have a store here in our place so I just rely online to browse and buy stuffs. I also heard from Jen's this other Korean brand that also sells cute beauty stuffs so I tried it. I hope to do a review about these stuffs in the future after I've tried and tested them.

Nicely packed

I also got a lot of freebies including this Lioele make-up remover pads!

So these are the ET and Lioele stuffs that I got.

Etude House Lovely Cookie blusher review

I ordered this cute pink blush from Etude House online and it arrived 2 days after. At first, I was really more into the packaging because it’s just irresistible. I’m a sucker for anything kawaii and pink. Goodthing I discovered this Korean brand of cosmetics. The cookie blusher actually comes in 5 different shades. 1. Pink 2. Rose 3. Orange 4. Sugar Pink and 5. Lovely Pink. I got the Pink shade since it looks not too light and yet not too dark in the picture online while I was browsing. It also comes with a cute blush puff with a cute bow on top of it. Reaally cute! When I tried it, I was a bit disappointed because it turned out too light. You need an ample amount to get that rosy pink glow on your cheeks. Compared to my other blushes which I only need 1-2 strokes on my cheeks, this one needs more application. But when you get the desired pink glow it actually turns out pretty cute. I prefer using this with my own blush brush so I can apply it well on my cheeks.

P.S. I tried doing a swatch on this but my camera failed me. Prolly I’ll try next time:D I’ll just update you. :0
