[ REVIEW ] Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Cream by ETUDE HOUSE

Hi ladies,
Today's review is about my ETUDE HOUSE's hand cream.
So, have you read my story about hand cream on my previous post? Well, if you haven't, click here first, 'cause first of all, you gotta know all stuff about hand cream.

So, this is my hand cream, which I really love! And it's always in my bag and I can reach it whenever I want to.


It's my second time using this. Actually there are 2 more different ingredient, but I don't know why I really love this.
Here's the line...

Alright, I can't find the picture I want, I mean, just the hand cream alone, but at the end, found this.. -_- Well, it not appropriate to steal somebody's picture, so better take this. Just assume it's official one.
Okay, so, the hand cream is on the left side. Yellow one is from collagen, light blue one is from certain vitamin, while mine is shea butter.
From this picture, I already tried the hand mask on the right. Behind the hand mask, is the foot mask!
This is what I was talking about. You can buy this for massage instead of going to massage or spa center, but of course you still need help ~ Hahaha
The cute things above are also hand cream, it has 5 different smell, but I've tried it before one only, because that time ETUDE HOUSE Malaysia threw a Big SALE on the store. I think I bought it for only RM9.90.

Okay, back to the point,
This hand cream has 5% Shea Butter, which needed to moisturize your dry hand, especially when you are always staying in a air-con room..


My phone can't really captured my hand when it's really dry. You can feel it right?
So, just like this.. if you can see the difference


So, let's start with the product...



Only a small parts written in English.
Oh yeah.. This one is 50ml guys, just a reminder, because there is another big size, I think 100ml.

ETUDE HOUSE
Hand Bouquet
Rich Butter Hand Cream

The rich essence of shea butter moisturizes and nourishes hands with an improved anti wrinkle formula for soft, smooth hands
Direction: Apply cream onto palm and rub hands together, messaging to all areas: palms, wrists and fingers. Also applicable to arms
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


No distinct feature.. Just a tube :'(
But at least I can carry it easily, without worrying the tube might crack or the content might spill when I simply put it in my bag, because the tube itself is quite strong.
When you press it down, you can feel it..


The texture is not really heavy, what I can tell you is, the feeling is absolutely different with body lotion like Vaselline. Seriously.
For this one, the smell is not really strong but I really love it!
The smell stays for a long time.


Apply some on your hand and spread it well..
You can use it for your arms as well..

And then, it's done..


May be on the picture above, you really can't see the difference, but for me...
After applying some on my hands, rubbing my hands and massage lightly, now I feel warmer (because I'm currently in an air-con room, and it's flipping cold!) and my hands are smooth and moist!



PROS:
1. Works perfectly in moisturizing hands and make my hands smooth
2. Pretty cheap (for a hand cream). Actually in reality, for small hand cream like this, we can purchase around 4 bottles of body lotion (100ml)
3. Simple design for those who doesn't love pinky things so much.. Suitable for a mother too. Well, a mother would not carry this kind  of hand cream, isn't it? Hahaha I'm talking for the women above 30.
4. Very light and handy
5. Smells good!
6. STILL EXIST!!




CONS:
-



DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Yes!! 'Cause it works perfectly and does not need so much space in my bag.

RATE: 5/5

[ REVIEW ] MAYBELLINE NEW YORK Pure Concealer Mineral Healthy Natural Concealer #1 Light Beige

If you see my haul from Malaysia two months ago, you probably noticed this product.
It's an essence concealer from Maybelline, and yeah, I just noticed that too when my sister bought this.
It's available in Malaysia guardian!
guardian in Indonesia really sucks man, honestly... There's only mascara, eyeliner, blush on, powder, but not concealer -_- it's really important, isn't it? Especially if the packaging is so handy like this that I'm going to show you.


Actually, my sister bought it first, and then she accidentally tried to use it in front of me. And then I asked her where she bought it, and in that time we were already in the airport, about to return to Indonesia, waiting to fly. Turns out she told me that she bought it in guardian nearby. That time, I had no time anymore to look around up and down, so she gave me hers and asked me to pay, while she was still waiting for 3 or 4 hours, so she can get another one..

What a tiring tour we had that time in KLIA 2. That's probably the most tiring one.

So, back to the concealer....




I've been using this quite often, and it's really nice. If we are not sweating so much, it won't fade.. And it's almost the same like lip gloss..
I personally adore the brush, but, as the picture above show you, actually you don't need so much amount to cover one blemishes or acne, you only need a little.

Talk about the size, I also have the similar product that has the same size. Well, people might get confused when they grab this from my pouch, they will thought this as a nude lip gloss or lip cream, hahahaha




Yup, similar with my NYX Xtreme lip cream, whom I loved the most! Hahaha.
Oh yeah, these days I put the concealer in my bag, in case may be I need it when I have no time to go home or when I travel somewhere.
These pair probably the best for you!

No box. No Explanation. Geez...
Just know this as a concealer and that's it!

Just like what I mentioned in the title, it's #1 Light shade. I usually always choose any product, mostly powder pact or concealer or BB cream in natural shade, but my sister told me that I have to use brighter color on my face..
Take this as a reminder.

So, check this out!


You can't help it. The brush probably will have this amount when you pull it out. This amount probably enough to cover a lot of blemishes on your face, including the area under your eye.

The texture is creamy, less heavy than my ETUDE HOUSE's BB cream. Almost... no smell.




What I did is, let say that the color of eye brow pencil I drew on my hand is the blemishes. I put some on my hand and then spread it. It will ends great if you spread it well, okay..


And.... It's done....!!

Next, I was trying it on my face...

Before

Just apply it like this. Three dots under your eyes are definitely enough. I've tried this before and it's really enough!
Look, my chin currently has quite numbers of blemishes because of acne's scars or whatever, so usually I take quite a lot of concealer to conceal that part.







And then... It's done!!

After

I purchased this for only RM19.90 or minus the 90 cents.
It's so cheap!!
And yeah, I've seen that ETUDE HOUSE, but some of bloggers said that they don't really like the brush. It's awful! LOL no kidding, I mean the brush is not like this, even from the picture, I know it, hahaha.



PROS:
1. Covers blemishes perfectly
2. Cheap
3. Last longer if you are not sweating!
4. I..... definitely love the brush!
5. Easy to carry. Doesn't take a lot of spaces. Suitable for traveling or touch-up


CONS:

1. The brush takes too much of it when I pull it out, like I mentioned above, but that's not really a problem for me I guess.

 


DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
 

Yes!!!!

[ REVIEW ] Drawing Eye Brow #01 Dark Brown by ETUDE HOUSE

Honestly, I'm not so into taking care my eye brow yet, but looking at every make up tutorial in Youtube or wherever, they all use eye brow pencil to draw on it and make it in an even shape. Essential thing, I guess.

I really cannot draw on my face nicely!! That goes to eyeliner too.
So anyway, this is my first time buying an eye brow pencil, and it's from ETUDE HOUSE, because they are very cheap.
It's Drawing Eye Brow...





The color of the pencil is the same with the shade in it. So it's dark brown. You can still differentiate it with the other color. Based on this picture, on the right side is the brush, while the left side is a pencil.
Note that it's still brand new and I just open it for doing this blog.

A little bit of story about eye brow, among the women in my family, I guess I'm the only who can't draw my own eye brow.. I'm almost 20 and I only began my experiment in make up around one year ago. My mom and my sister said it's so easy and that's why too.. their eye brows look more even than mine.
Oh yeah.. more than 10 years ago, when I was still a kid.. I banged into a sharp corner of a wall in my house. It was bleeding so much and... I cried a lot after that happened. It happened because I was playing hide-and-seek with my brother, and I had to hide somewhere. So, I covered myself with a blanket and crawled to nowhere, and I can't see what is in front of me... and then.. BANG! Almost torn my right eyebrow and left scars till now. And.. so, that's my story.
If you look at my photos in previous posts, you can see it, CLEARLY!

Moral of the story: Play hard, but not too "hard"







The moment I opened this and took a picture, it was probably the first time I'm holding an eye brow pencil to draw my own eye brow. So, I'm really sorry if doesn't look nice like you wish, LOL
Actually at first, I was only planning to draw it on my hand, but it didn't come really well like I expected, so I decided to draw on my left brow.



After convincing myself, okay, this is it, the first time to do this only with the phone as my mirror, because I'm currently in college library, because the lighting and brightness are perfect!! than my toilet.. LOL

Right, almost forgot, this pencil doesn't come out with box and without clear English explanation or direction.


Before
In progress......

After
I go to campus not for attending class but sitting on the library, doing my blog and assignment. LOL. This place is the most comfortable in my campus. That's why I'm completely bare-faced today, only applied BB cream and powder pact..

So, that's my story about eye brow.. Hahaha
Anyway, why I chose dark brown shade instead of black, because the black was not available.. Hahahahahahahahha
*lame




PROS:
Everything is great! Packaging, color, price, etc. May be it's because I'm still a beginner~


 

CONS:
 -


DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?

Yes! Why not? It's so cheap!

[ REVIEW ] Milk Calcium Nail Pack FACE it by The Face Shop

When it comes to Korean skincare, there is always something weird they offer, which you can never imagine, and think, "Why do I need that". That goes to this thing too. Back then, I was surprised to find that ETUDE HOUSE and may be most of the Korean brand have a mask, but not for face.. they have it for mouth, hand, nail, and even foot!
So, may be they indirectly tell you, "Hey, buy this thing instead of going to spa or massage service! Defitinely cheaper!"
And, yeah that's true. Last time I tried their foot mask and hand mask from ETUDE HOUSE, and that was really good, but you need to ask someone for a help.. massage.


This is... Nail mask, but anyway I've tried it before and I purchased another one. This one, doesn't require any help, because you can massage your fingers by yourself, well, can you?
Okay, this mask is from The Face Shop. It has 3 different main ingredient for different function.


 I've tried Lemon and Milk, but I wasn't really aware with what the function is, so, I just simply took it without knowing what it is for..
So, this time is Milk Calcium, for strength and prevent cracking.


Definitely what we always need. When our hands and nails are always dry, then dry cuticles can lead to cracking and exfoliate. That probably the most painful thing.






I purchased this in their store. Well, The Face Shop has a lot of offline store especially in Indonesia, a lot more than ETUDE HOUSE.
Actually I don't really like using The Face Shop product, but one time, I was unconsciously picking this just because they will give me a free face mask sheet for Rp100,000. Silly. For Indonesian, still too expensive, or they were just smart enough. Most of their product in an offline store mostly are above Rp50,000 or Rp70,000, even for a little stuff like cutie, little hand cream.
Almost no one sells this online.

So, let's check it out..
The direction and everything are written with Korean.
Only a sticker there, and written with Indonesian..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Face it 01 Milk Calcium Nail Pack
Function: Treatment concentrated on finger nails and cuticles, which contains calcium to strengthen nails.
How to use: Apply to the finger nails left and right hands that have been cleaned, massage gently for 10-15 minutes

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






You can do this treatment, may be.... once in two weeks or once a month. It's unnecessary to do it 3 times in a week just like a face mask.
After using this product, it's better for you to use hand cream right after. Your hand will experience the great thing.. unimaginable, hahaha.. I mean, moist and smooth.
And then, it's better to use this at night, may be when you are studying or after shower. It's really great! You can save up some pennies by using this instead of going to saloon or massage center.

So, end! This review is a little bit short, 'cause I have no more to talk! But, hey! If you got an experience of trying this, let's share together!



PROS:
1. English translation please....
2. Does a good job if you take it as a monthly routine.
 
CONS:
1. Expensive




DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE? 

No more from The Face Shop, 'cause it's so expensive in the store. I heard that ETUDE HOUSE has this too, but hardly find it online.
