[ SHARE ] My Haul! from Malaysia PART 1


Hey guys!!
It's almost a week isn't it?

Anyway, I just came back from Malaysia few days ago, and bought few things too, and you know what? Almost everything there is ON SALE until the end of the year!!
I didn't really buy clothes, man, but ended buying tons of masks!!
Malaysia is always like that. When we are talking about SALE, the gap sure is big! We really can feel the reduction, my sister said. Hahaha.
Anyway, since I was only staying for 2 days, I didn't have so much time to buy everything I want, lack of money $$$$ and time LOL (^◇^)and we only went to one shopping mall, which..... my favorite department store is..there... but OPENING SOON ( ̄□ ̄;)----> not yet. So FAIL! I decided to buy any beauty care products I bump into.



1. ETUDE HOUSE 
2. SaSa 
3. Watsons 
4. TONYMOLY 
5. guardian
6. DAISO Japan

*you can check the link for further information, and differentiate with the one in Indonesia (if you are Indonesian). This is to differentiate how they are doing promotion. Not for offensive purposes

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


THIS IS PART 1! I bought everything above on the first day I went out, but the last day to stay under the sky of Malaysia as well. LOL Pathetic enough (* ̄m ̄)


Alright, as you can see in the picture, I ended buying lot of face masks! Because they are so CHEAP! Every pieces I bought are under RM10 (Rp37.000).

The review of each product will be up in future, this post is just about what I'm thinking about the product and why I decided to purchase it.
 

So, no. 1 is ETUDE HOUSE.
ETUDE HOUSE..... Oh my.. Seriously has a lot of promotion! Especially if you combine every promotions together, you'll get a lot of products! Seriously!
What I love about ETUDE HOUSE Malaysia, or maybe anywhere else, that you think similar... is...
1. The workers are so friendly, well-mannered, and they really know about the product! The mask sheets I purchased above are all from the worker's recommendation! I just told her I have an oily skin, and she picked which one is suitable for me, if I want the product.

2. SALE means SALE! The gap between the actual price and the discount price!

3. The product is up-to-date! The shop I went to, Oh my... They don't even have alphabet mask anymore, and they also already have LOCK 'N SUMMER line, and based on the website, they also have Dear My Wish Lips Talk Lipstick. In Indonesia.. uh uh...  <`ヘ´> 

The sales girl DID a good job, she assisted me well. At first I simply picked whatever I saw, as long as I've never try it or I find it unique, or even ON SALE, I took it! But I was thinking too long, which mask I should purchase, and she helped me until I finished.

Here's my receipt.......




Currently, the promotions / discounts in ETUDE HOUSE are......
1. BUY 1 FREE 1 (for all the products!)

2. Some products has been deducted by 20% up to 50%. Like normal price is RM39.90, after discount can be RM9.90. It's random... Some become RM9.90, RM19.90, RM29.90 . For offline shop, it's cheap! Don't compare it with online!

3. Purchase above RM50 (Rp185,000), I will get free woven bag, which I did! The picture above shows it! It's quite big though.

4. Monthly promotion, like what the employee gave me..







Actually, what captivated me the most is Any Cushion Set! Even though after discount they are still expensive, compared to online shop, but, I just can't help it if I can get the macaron mini bag for FREE! But, however, I still have my cushion, and another new one from PeriPera (I'll do the review in future).
And also everything about if I purchase above this price, I'll get this, this, and this... OMG!!! I can imagine if I have RM200 (Rp740,000), I can really get a lot of things if I combine every promotions!

Last page..


This one.... Hmm.. Not really interested.. -_- I'm not so into body set, so, forget it..

Here's what I purchased from ETUDE HOUSE

Blending Sleeping Cream (Green Tea and Seaweed)
Price: RM9.90 / each
Buy 1 Free 1



& Rose Flowering Nails Set with Sticker #2 Violet Rose
Price: RM19.90 (after discount)


I Need You, Green Tea! Mask Sheet and I Need You, Mugwort! Mask Sheet
Price: RM6.90
Buy 1 Free 1


Oh! M' Eye Lash Slimcara (volume & curl)
Price: RM19.90 (after discount)


I'm so sorry guys, I didn't get to buy so much thing, when I did promise to myself that I should be doing so. At first, I didn't know ETUDE HOUSE is exist! In the shopping mall we went to. I asked my sister to help me find it out by Google. Only 1 hour before we left, I found it, such a small shop on 5th floor (I was in G wandering around and keep climbing) and the shop was crowded, and then only RM50 something left in my pocket. Going to ATM takes so much time, so I just bought whatever.





For your information, if you want to know which product or what kind of product is ON SALE (RM9.90, RM19.90, etc). So far, What I remember is...

RM9.90 (after discount)

RM19.90 (after discount)

RM19.90 (after discount)

But THESE ARE SEASONAL or may not be the same for every store! They may have change it by the time you go there, because no more stock to display, or whatever... Next month, there might be another promotion with another product.

[ REVIEW ] AC Clinic Intense Pink Powder Spot by ETUDE HOUSE

I try to write as many reviews as possible these days, 'cause maybe I can't make it next week because of mid-term exam (ToT)/~~~

Okay, this review is about pimples and ridiculous-acne treatment from ETUDE HOUSE, and around a month ago I bought this from online shop, just for precaution. Well, maybe red ridiculous pimples might grow out of nowhere, like what I have right now!



The one on my chin just grew like 2 or 3 days ago, and it's really annoying!! Why pimples popped out just a few days before my trip??!!! ( ゚ Д゚)While the one at the corner of cheek, I think also few days ago, and thank goodness I still can cover it with my hair, so not so big deal!



And thank God!! I already have the medicine!! Hahaha







I'M REALLY SORRY about my photos here (* ̄m ̄) I tried to make it focus several times, but really, cannot do that.
And what irritate me the most is the writing! Such a small and too fine writing! Grrrrrr....

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

Formulated with Salicyclic Acid and Hinoki Cypress, AC Clinic delivers trouble care. Pink Powder alleviates trouble swelling on contact to minimize damage. Comes with cotton swabs for application

(Direction) Do not shake bottle. After facial care, allow powder to settle at the bottom. Perpendicularly dip cotton swab into the bottle to draw powder from bottle. Use swab to dab trouble spots and acne with swab tip to coat with powder

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

It contains sulphur , which is sooo acidic, and usually used for ridiculous red pimples! My mom has it too but not ETUDE HOUSE, but the powder's color and the smell are the same.

(left to right) Pink Powder Spot, Pink Powder Water, Cotton Swab

(Pink Powder Spot) The bottle is made of thick glass. I think it's because of the strong sulphur inside, so, cannot use ordinary bottle like plastic.
The color of the powder is soft pink. Sulphur smell. LOL
This contains POWDER too. But white, not pink! And it doesn't smell as strong as sulphur.

There's nothing written about the Pink Powder Water on the box, so I couldn't tell what's the function, but I read somewhere that this one is almost the same with the other one (glass bottle). Pink Powder Spot is used at night before you go to bed, while Pink Powder Water is at day.
Since the color is white so it's not so visible. You can pat it lightly on the damaged area. Remember NOT TO SHAKE THE BOTTLE WHEN YOU WANT TO USE IT.

The texture is like a sand when you rub it wherever with your finger. Seriously, it's a powder, only rougher than baby powder.

PINK PINK PINK PINK!!!

So, I applied some after everything was done....


It dries quickly, after around 5 to 10 seconds, so it won't drop when you are doing whatever position.

It's done!
Overall, I like it, and I'm gonna see it for the next few days, to see any changes on the area, because a month ago when I also did have pimples and tried to apply my mom's pink powder, it did work within less than a week! So I hope this works too  (●^o^●)

If you are pimples-maniac ( I mean you always have red, ridiculous, disturbing pimples, once in two weeks or once a month), I suggest you to buy this product. Sulphur works fast man!  (●^o^●) So yeah, why not? It's cheap some more. And another suggestion is to buy other AC Clinic product like the mask or face mist, it helps you faster.

I think only ETUDE HOUSE has this kind of product, isn't it?



PROS:
1. Cheap ($11 - $12 = Rp120.000 - Rp140.000) if you buy online
2. Works faster to heal because it contains Sulphur, which is acidic
3. Comes with other product of acne treatment




CONS:
1. The writing on the box is too small!





DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Of course!!!! But let me finish this first. It may takes one year!!



RATE: 5/5

[ REVIEW ] Alphabet Mask "I Need You, Shea Butter!" Mask Sheet by ETUDE HOUSE

Alright, another review again at the same day!
I'm so in a hurry, 'cause I realize that for the next couple of days, I won't have time to review!

This is simple! 'Cause I also did a review about this mask a week ago, and I guess 2 reviews about this mask are already enough. C'mon, the function is almost the same and the way to do it is also the same, just the ingredient that makes it different.

 Here's the link!
"I Need You, Immortelle!" Mask Sheet

My face after cleansing and putting moisturizer... Before mask!





Shea Butter (Richly Nourishing)





I accidentally deleted the picture of the back side, sorry! So I took this from Google.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mask sheet contains natural Shea Butter (.......) with rich moisture and nutrition, providing radiant and healthy-looking skin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



So, here's my face when covered with mask sheet.......

BEFORE


Wet wet wet wet wet ~






The essence was completely absorb!
My suggestion is, you should do it at night, 1 or 2 hours before you sleep, and in order to make it dry quickly, get a fan or air-conditioner, facing your face, then exactly 30 minutes, it will be dry completely!



When it goes dry, you can feel that the mask sticks to your face, so, pull it out slowly~


No changes? Of course.... Changes are not shown here but you can feel your face refreshed after a hot and tiring day! And then you can put another moisturizer or night cream, and you can go to bed! :)
Pat or massage your face lightly so that the remaining (if there is) solution will be absorbed. The massage also will make your face more elastic and relax.

So, feel good huh?

I really love their mask especially this Alphabet mask! I really want to try each one of them, as every one has a different function. Dan kalau aku, personally sih, sukanya masker yang bisa brightening, rejuvenating, nourishing, etc, tapi lebih ke buat wajah yang lelah atau sering terkena debu dan sinar matahari, karena menurut aku itu penting banget buat mengembalikan keaslian kulit wajah kita.


 
PROS:
1. Cheap ($1 - $2 = Rp15.000 - Rp28.000)
2. Different ingredients, different function
3. Smells great but not too strong



CONS:
-



DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Of course!!!!

[ REVIEW ] e.l.f. Corrective Concealer





Let me begin this review with story...

At first, I didn't know what is concealer for, but before I find out, my sister gave her to me FREELY, just because she has no more time to do it. I seriously don't know what it is for, even back then I've never bought any concealer, 'cause I though it's just a useless thing, like.. What? If you just want to cover something, then just put more and more and more powder on it. But then, I found that powder was so easily fade away, so.. yeah...
Last time, I did put too much powder on my face, that sometimes I looked pale like a corps and not normal too, but then, sweats, dusts, dirt makes my powder fade and then I looked normal again, hahaha.

So, my sister gave me hers on last July without teaching me first what and how to do it.
She gave me together with the box, so at least I know what to do with it, even though the box is already... Umm.. torn here and there..  \(^o^)/





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conceals under-eye darkness, blemishes and other skin imperfections with customized coverage
o
Brightens under-eye circles and neutralizes redness
o
Convenient size for on-the-go travel
o
DIRECTIONS: Use the nude and beige shades (picture: 2 pieces on the left) to conceal problematic areas. Use the green shade to neutralize redness like that of acne and the lilac shade to brighten dull yellow tones.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I'm sorry the box is quite dusty (^_^)v

Mirror is provided

You wonder why there is no brush?
Right.... The brush is gone... Even before I get the chance to use it (~o~)
So means it was lost when my sister used it, don't know why, so I'm sorry I can't tell you how the brush looks like, 'cause I don't know..

Now, I'm using other brush my sister gave me, which is alright though, and it works!




By the way, out of this 4 choices, I use lilac more often because it covers my under-eye circle perfectly, and the color just matches my skin tone around the eyes.



Before applying the concealer under my eyes.

I applied it ONLY on my left eye (picture: right side) to show the difference

and... DONE.

While for the green one, I almost never use it since my acne doesn't show any red like those people, or maybe they have such a fair skin so if one pimple pops out, the redness is ridiculous, I just no... since my face is kind of oriental.
While for the nude color, umm.. how do I say it? I use it quite rare though, 'cause I don't have much problematic areas, and sometimes it doesn't show any changes too when I apply it. Problematic areas are like.. what? Pimples? Or? Because honestly, for small ridiculous disturbing pimples, I don't have it kekekeke (^▽^)


Look! Easy to carry right? And it's light too! ヽ(^。^)ノ
Anyway, about price, I don't really know how much and I forgot to ask my sister about that, and in Indonesia especially in the city I'm currently staying, there is no official e.l.f. counter, and some online shops don't sell it, so it's really hard to compare. e.l.f products are usually pretty cheap, even cheaper than ETUDE HOUSE and the quality is great too


PROS:
1. Simple packaging
2. Easy to carry and very light
3. 4 colors for 3 different functions (we need this the most)
4.  A bit soft but sticky texture


CONS:
-

DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
YES!! This is my favorite after all! Or... is it because it's my first concealer? Well maybe.. But I really love it!
