[ REVIEW ] & Rose Flowering Nails in #2 Velvet Rose by ETUDE HOUSE

This line, came soooo loooooooooong ago..
AND instead of trying to buy their lip product, I had no idea why I chose this tho', hahaha.. So, if you still remember and regularly read every post on my blog, last year on November, I went to Malaysia for my sister's graduation, only for 2 days, but I used all of money for buying a lot of drug store's skin products!
They had a pretty good deals everywhere that time, from drug store and also ETUDE HOUSE. I still remember that time that I wasted my money a lot on Watsons, and only RM50 left in my wallet when I went to ETUDE HOUSE, luckily, the deals were fantastic, like Buy 1 Get 1, 50% discount, 70% discount, and others.
This color is gorgeous that I can't resist or can't get away from it!





The box... How do I say.. It's really thick cardboard, it's like a high quality cardboard. I can feel it! Hahaha, and the box is pretty too, isn't it?
So, I think this came out on autumn two years ago? This product is indeed a bit old, but since so many girls love their lip tints, only lip tints stay in the market until today. I have to admit that their lip colors are all so adorable too! I'm planning to buy it, but still don't know yet when I'll buy it..
I'm planning to travel to Malaysia again next month, and it's Ramadhan season, and I guess, not only cosmetic shops but clothing shops too will throw out some sales!


Back to the nail polish story. I think they have 2 types of kit for this nail kit, and that time, only no. 2 left so I just grabbed it. It was only RM19.90 that time after discount, and for in store, this price is quite worth it, and actually in Indonesia, for some online shop, this price is quite normal, or in fact some online shops may be selling this for  more expensive price.
So, if you want to travel to a country or somewhere, where everything is cheap when SALES are everywhere.. coming to Malaysia is my recommendation. Indonesia? Not really... Hahaha *no offense




They have 2 types of stickers and honestly, I like the second one better than the first one.. It's more like artistic and crowded, so, this sticker will literally becomes the highlight of your nails!
And look at the different of size for each sticker.. You know.. Some sticker, I don't know where I saw it, but the difference between biggest and fattest finger until the thinnest finger is so big, and only 5 stickers provided.. So, it's like, "if it's not fit, then it's your problem, should... I.... care....? :P "
-_____-


No. 2: After Blossom. No. 1: Rose Garden
I love the red color (left) one! Don't you think it's so pretty? Hahaha.. Yeah right.. This is the red color that I personally love. I don't really like it if it's too bold. And however, the lavender or pale color is so cute too..
Just conclude that I love both of them.. Haha

Dear guys, you may not get this anymore because ETUDE HOUSE possibly has discontinued this product. Sad~ Just take it for your reference in future.
Since in 2014, I don't think they launch a product for autumn, so I guess this year they would..

This is my OWN hand!

This is my friend's hand. LOL. Yup! She admits that her nails are more ugly than mind. And I didn't have the skill to be a nail artist either.. Ckckck. It was not purposely done this way okay~
It's matte nail polish!! OMG! I guess this is my first time having a matte nail polish! And this is such a beautiful red, especially when you put it on!
The lavender color is also cute and adorable. I guess these 2 colors are so universe.. Suitable for tanned skin or fair skin, and to be honest I'm in the middle of fair and tanned, but seriously everything turns out better! I really really love it, especially the red one!


It's hard to paste the sticker, so we decided not to do it.. Sorry guys! Look from other blog, kay?! :D
This color is really recommended!!!

PROS:
1. The color is to-die-for to be honest. It's hard to find this gorgeous red, unless if you talk about O.P.I
2. Cheap? Not talking after discount, I believe before discount, the actual Korean price is still affordable
3. The stickers! Gotta praise the one who design it. Not only the art but also the size!!! Good job!! Love yaa!!! xD
4. Since this is matte, so it dries faster and doesn't even need a fan or cooler to dry your finger
5. Universal color. Suitable for any type of skin color!

 
CONS:
1. Not really cons, but this line has discontinued, so..... Hahaha. You should wait for next season..
DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE? 
No. No. No..
This will lasts for more than 2 years... Hahaha.. I'm a nail polish junkie, but to buy another nail kit, I gotta think twice, 'cause I have lots of it in my closet

RATE: 5/5 

[ REVIEW ] Gold Racoony Hydro Gel Eye & Spot Patch by Secret Key

Some people who are too hardworking, usually have panda eyes, or swollen and dark eye bag, but surprisingly and thank goodness for that, that I've never have such thing since I was born until today..
I'm not that hardworking type that I should do everything perfectly. Well, I want what I do to be always perfect, but due to laziness or whatever, sometimes I don't do until maximum.. Okay la.. Let's say like final project... Some people work for it until they mentally worn off and that panda eyes appear..
I can't really do that tho'. I still care about my health.. ***lame** hahaha.. Other than that, if I have to stay all night doing projects or homeworks, the next day I won't be able to concentrate on anything.. and yawn all the way........
That's my story.............

Racoony....? Hahaha


I still have no idea why I bought this, and moreover, this is also the first product from Secret Key that I bought. I thought that it's really worth it. Indeed it's really worth it! LOL
If I'm not mistaken, it was around IDR150,000 or IDR155,000. Around... Less than $14, and it has a lot of patches..
/// This contains 60 pieces eye patches, means 30 pairs, and 30 pieces spot patches for dark spot or acne marks. It is made of gel, and that's why the name is like that, and the color is gold. ///

Back then, I usually buy a pair when I feel like I wanna use it, and usually I bought it in ETUDE HOUSE, and even for 1 pair of eye patches, I gotta admit that it's quite expensive if I want to buy tons of it..
Let's check this further...


Roughly saying, the steps are basically like...
1. Cleanse your face with cleanser and toner (of course..)
2. Take out the patches using the spatula for hygienic purposes
3. Place the patches onto below your eyes
4. Wait for 20 - 30 minutes and take it off. Massage the area with remaining solution and let it absorbed onto your skin




Korean explanation all the way and all the side of the box. No English.
May be it's because Secret Key is not that well-known yet for foreigners, unlike other brands.
I guess, Secret Key should take an advantage of this. Korean products are now situated anywhere! Girls go for them because it's affordable, cute but still high quality. And if in actual (Korean) price they are this cheap, they should go for international market. Competition will be tough tho' but they should go for it.


The container is quite big as you can see.. And the container is only an ordinary white and made of plastic. And.... Spatula is provided! The spatula is quite big too.. Hahaha, and they have another lid too to cover the patches, and remember also not to throw away the lid...!!!



It's gold patches! And it's thinner that I thought...
Make sure to place back the lid after you take the patches. It has the solution underneath to keep it wet and moist.
(O) They look like this.. The circle one is the patch you use for curing blemishes, and smile-shape one is for under your eyes.

3 T's (Tiny, Thin, and Transparent) and Gold~ LOL
I purposely make my eyes tired, but not to the extent where it get swollen, for this demonstration. Hahaha.. But you don't have to do it of course.. Just use it like for weekly or monthly treatment, when you feel like your eyes are worn out after staring at the computer screen for so long. I guess is good too... 


After using, I can feel my eyes felt a little fresh and moist. And massage the left residue by simply pat pat with your fingers. And then, I recommend you all to apply an eye cream after that.. And the next morning, you can feel a slight different! :D Have fun trying this cutie!


PROS:
1. Affordable. Try to count it~ It's even more cheaper than ETUDE HOUSE

2. The smell is not too strong
3. You can feel the difference on the next day
4. Are 3 T's a complain? Not really.. Since it's so tiny, so it doesn't feel heavy on your eyes


CONS:
1. It's hard to find it, I know. Only 1 shop has this in Tokopedia, and even today, this shop doesn't have it anymore. 
2. However, even if it's so tiny, accidentally, you can torn it with your nails. Well, my nails were quite sharp that time when I picked this


DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE? 
Not really.... This will lasts for a very long time..

[ REVIEW ] Color in Liquid Lips in RD301 by ETUDE HOUSE

I recommend you to click this first, before reading the rest of my post.. Please~~~

Red color is so bold, and this is my first time buying the boldest red color for my lips. And for a second, I thought that I will look older than my age. Even without it, indeed I'm a bit look older because of my body size.
I really wanna have at least 1 red lipstick. Bold red! I usually borrow my Mom's one, but only for fun, so I didn't really have the guts to go out with red lips. Everyone would calls me "Madam.." which I hate the most.. In the middle of confusion, whether I should get 1 or not.. This line appears.. Hahahaha.. So, my desire has been staying in my mind for almost half a year!





I was planning to buy a lip tint, red lip tint. You guys, ETUDE HOUSE freaks should know which lip tint is so well-known and best seller. That small tube, and has vampire-red color. Okay, I was planning to buy that one because it's cheap and glossy too. I had a lip tint once back then, and I really liked it a lot!
But since this product was quite a hit after launch, well, is it really a hit? Hahaha.. But some girls really love it though..

Let's check it out!!

I don't need to re-write, do I?Finally I found a good spot in my house, with perfect light, to capture every angle! Haha

This packaging is really to-die-for! It's adorable, isn't it? Be honest guys~ Hahaha.
At first glance, you will think that it's just an ordinary lipstick in an transparent tube, and what you have to do is just pulling it out, and.. wallaaa.. Lipstick-shape appears! At first, I thought so too..
But...



It's just like a typical lip gloss with a brush to apply on. Hahaha.. But as you can see there, it's not really a pointed brush like we used to, but it has a hole, or whatever at the center of it. Just like what you read on the box. It looks like a water drop, which is a bit unusual for ETUDE HOUSE, as far as I know..
By the way, it smells great! Just like a candy, as usual.. And I love it! Compared to Color Lips-fit , this one smells even better.. So addictive, kinda.




I guess, Color in Liquid Lips only provide a bright colors, like for girly and fresh color. They even have purple man! Bright or neon purple I guess, which is for me, still hard to pull it off!
As for the color and consistency, it's so creamy but not really to the extent like lip cream. It's pretty pigmented and easy to blend.
It seems to fade a little after I spread it widely, but actually, the color is the same when you apply it on your lips. No joking..



I don't know how you call it guys, but it's actually not glossy, but... shining? 

My special suggestion, when you want to apply this, you would have to listen to f(x) _ Shadow to get that fun feeling! Hahaha.. Seriously!


PROS:
1.
Better buy this instead of lipstick man... Really
2. The hole on the brush makes it even easier for me to apply color. Really. I don't know why.. May be it's because the brush is wider than what we always use
3. Cheap? I guess.. It's still affordable, compared to buy an ordinary-container lipstick
4. CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!
5. Smells great!

CONS:  1. It's kinda personal actually. Since the brush is too big, so I can't really reach the lip line, otherwise I would mess up everything.. This thing, once it applied, it's a bit hard to erase it even with water only.. Just like for this review, I quite had a hard time to wash it off. Hahaha.. But so far, it's really good and I love it!

DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Not really. But that doesn't mean I dislike the product, but for ETUDE HOUSE, usually I always buy another new product when they launch something.
I don't really like to buy more than one of a same product, even though the colors are different, unlike some people (I'm sorry if it's kinda offensive) when ETUDE HOUSE launches a lip product line, then they will buy like 5 of them.. And then, end up throwing them away because they want to buy another new line.. -_- Gee... Don't be like that okay..

[ REVIEW ] Herb Day Cleansing Tissue by THE FACE SHOP

I always like cleansing tissue, don't you too?
It's so easy and less time consuming, especially when you are just lazy to wipe off all your make up and foundation. I guess some girls are like that.. They put tons of make up on their face, but so lazy when it's the time to wipe it off.. Well, wearing full make up for a whole day is not good for your skin, don't you know it? Pimples... Haunt you, and wrinkles too.. Yucks~
At least, you have to wipe it off and then re-apply some make up. After all, the make up we are applying are the most front shield of the whole face, that "protecting" the face from dust and dirt.


So, this tissue is sincerely my beloved cleansing wipes ever! By The Face Shop. I came across this one year ago and started to buy it, the small one. This one is the big one. I swear, after started using this tissue, I almost have no people for that period of time.. I was also lazy last year, so I just used this to wipe everything off from my face and then went to sleep.. The next morning, I took a bath properly and cleansing my face inside out..


It's clear enough, so I don't have to re-write it. Hahaha
 The big one contains 70 sheets, and the small one I think is 20 sheets. I guess it's cheaper if you buy the big one. Enough for 2 months isn't it? I guess more..
So, I was quite shocked when I unwrapped everything, and I checked one by one to make sure it's not fake. LOL. So, what I found is.. These tissue contains paraben :'( :'( And I was like... OMG~ I swore to myself not to purchase any product that contains paraben, but here I am buying it, and contains 70 sheets!!!

methylparaben?????!!!!!
I guess I should live with this for another 2 months -_- Try to be okay. Try to be okay.
I'm sorry guys, I may seem so paranoid with paraben , but I guess, indeed I do. I just want everyone to take care of their face.. Your face represents your health. The effect of paraben will show up in future, when you are entering 40's.
So, be caution~



The lid is made up... plastic -_- I don't know what kind of plastic, but it looks like it's just attached onto the packaging by glue.. You can pull if off easily, but I don't want to.
And under the lid, it still has a sticker, which you should always keep it sealed. I mean, don't tear it and throw it away.

BEFORE


AFTER
Some tissue, after you use it to cleanse your face, makes your face feels sticky at the end. So, you gotta wait for some time to get dry and then apply creams and whatsoever. While this one, it makes your face smoother, even though it doesn't show on the picture. Moist! That's the right word. Not oily or sticky but moist!

In the end, it seems that I keep talking about paraben, hahaha! But what I can suggest, make this like a long-term investment. Any product you pick will determines your future.

This size is almost the same like a dictionary

PROS:
1. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP~~~

2. Cleanse perfectly, but I guess that depends on how heavy your make up is.. LOL.
3. The smell is not too strong. Some cleansing tissue has that fragrance that makes you dizzy
4. The tissue itself is so soft. Doesn't feel greasy or whatever you call it when you wipe onto your face
5. Still exist! Grab it fast! LOL. If you need some trials, you can just buy the smaller pack


CONS: 
1. Paraben -_-


DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?

.......................... paraben???? Gonna think twice...........
Don't get me wrong. I really like this product, but I never ever realize that it has paraben -_-

[ REVIEW ] Silk Scarf Hair Treatment by ETUDE HOUSE

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNO1D2Cb8847w4c54LnQugx-rP4F24729I1OhtbzkFdpX9jtxEPkBUV5ZqhPyNwLi-AN2JqrikPo_mCF6tvcKj7-fXHrF8aVGsHwy-JQ0IDptMj4iJ443m2gpve68QR_V68R7efK_IgiQW/s1600/338706_439041442785162_1103278776_o.jpg 

Familiar with this line? If you are not, let me tell you from by this post that any one from this line is simply awesome! It's Silk Scarf line that works for your hair!
For your information, my hair is kinda wavy but not that curly.. So, from up to to end of my hair, there is a big wave which become my specialty, even though I'm a bit sick of it.. :'( Well, again, even though is not really badly wavy, but sometimes it gets entangled with each other, and it's hard to comb my hair whenever I want to, sometimes it stuck anywhere and my hair falls off.

So, from the picture above, I'm only going to write about one of them, which is the Hair Treatment (the tube on the right side). It has been my all-time favorite since one year ago, when I became diligently using it every week, like twice a week.. Well, although it only works for one day, I still love it no matter what...
But, by the way, I got the other product too, which is the hair mist and the hair serum. Basically the function is the same. The difference is only when this thing is supposed to be applied..



The color of the tube is like dusty pink? Or.. pale pink? Hmm.. I don't which pink is it.. LOL. You tell yourself, with a bit bright sticker pasted on it. But! You don't have to worry, the sticker will not flake off~ I guess the sticker is so that high quality~ Hahaha

 Last year, this was the first hair treatment product that I bought from ETUDE HOUSE. That time, in the offline store is quite cheap and I thought, wow, it's worth it.. So, I picked it up out of curiosity. And who know it will makes my hair better?



The picture didn't come out really well I guess. The sun was not out or may be it was nearly evening, so it's a bit dark.. I'm sorry for this. I hope my explanation will be clear and you can understand it even with dark picture, hehe. But however, I guess ETUDE HOUSE should no more write any explanation with white ink! Especially if the background color is so light, just like this pink, and.... I guess... There was something else similar last time, when I did review a product..
Remember ETUDE HOUSE, no white ink please!

--------------------------------------------------------------
ETUDE HOUSE
Silk Scarf Hair Treatment

Specially formulated with oil complex and flower scent, this highly concentrated treatment restores and reinforces brittle and damaged hair, preventing future breakage and leaving your hair extraordinarily strong, soft, silky and manageable.

(Directions) Use once or twice a week. Massage into hair and comb through evenly with fingers. Let treatment works for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly

------------------------------------------------------------



Just like an ordinary hair treatment / conditioner tube. The lid is a gold-like color.
Different from conditioner, which, in my case, I use it almost everyday.. I don't really know why we can't use this hair treatment everyday. May be it will cause the opposite if we use it too often, a damage... So, honestly I have never try it.
What's really good is, they even sealed the hole, so it won't spilled out. Because honestly, the lid is quite fragile, I mean the material..



Pink gel-like and it's cute! Smells indeed like a flower, but I don't know.. It just smells great!
The consistency is quite different with my Rejoice's conditioner. My conditioner has somewhat thicker and more concentrate and sometimes, honestly it's a bit hard to brush my hair when it's on my hair, like what I said. I don't know if you are like that or, may be just because my hair is always entangled with each other.. Geez...

Anyway, without conditioner or this hair treatment, my hair is always dry, especially the edge, and my hair would sometimes be tangled and hard to comb with my finger. That gives me stress :'(
I was thinking a lot about straighten my hair, or at least make it less wavy, but... Well, because of my eating habit, I'm a bit plump only on my body part and my head, when it is actually a bit small and unbalanced with my body, but my chubby cheeks makes everything balance.. So, I just couldn't imagine what if I straighten my hair, and what would I look like.. Hahahahahahahah Clown! No kidding... This is exactly what would it be..

 SHAMPOO ONLY

SHAMPOO and CONDITIONER

 SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER and HAIR TREATMENT

------------------------------
Due to lighting effect and different places when I took the picture, the pictures above may not show a big difference. But what I can tell is, when I only apply a shampoo... My hair would not stay still, especially when the wind blows, and it becomes .... whatever. Hard to brush my hair...
When I apply another conditioner, it becomes smooth and easy to comb, but that depends on what conditioner you are using. Each of them aims for different result. And when the wind blows, the result is still the same with only shampoo -_-
And then, when I apply the hair treatment, it's easier to comb my hair whenever I want.. Even when the wind blows it away.. Just a light brush and light press on my head, and it will be normal again..
-------------------------------

Conclusion:
To be honest, this product alone will be so effective, so I suggest you to buy another extra similar product like me. I bought the hair mist and hair serum, and now I'm planning to buy the hair essence too. LOL I have no idea what's the difference between hair essence and hair serum. The shampoo and the conditioner are not really necessary and in terms of price, it's quite expensive too, so it's not really worth it, unless you are so damn rich and want to look extremely pretty with smooth hair everyday, hahaha.. kidding..

So that's it about this hair treatment! This is so recommended if you have a dry hair and normal-type hair, and I assure you that it will works really well!

Ps: Sorry if this post is sooooooo long~


PROS:
1. Smells great and nice! :D Love it! Not too strong or too less

2. For a routine (weekly) hair treatment, this is affordable!
3. Smooth and silky hair are indeed the result! But only... for that day. Hahaha 24 hours only.
4. PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK ~~ Hahahaha


CONS: 
1. It only works on that day. And it doesn't make my hair better, to be honest, especially when I don't use this. Strong, silky, soft and manageable are only for THAT DAY you use this. LOL
2. Since the smell is not that strong, so it will gone for the next 2 or 3 hours, especially if you pass by smokers -_- Duuhh, right after that your hair will smell like smoke! But the effect will last for 1 day


DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Of course! Nothing can compare to this right now... Nobody offers the same price~
