[Review] Etude House CC Cream SPF 30
This is my first time trying a cc cream, it have been out for so long that
I think it's about time for me to try it out!
Etude House CC cream is one of the cc cream with the highest rating on the internet.
CC cream Vs BB cream
CC Cream is a improved version of BB cream, that are more moisturizing and maintain all skin care benefit from BB cream. I have a impression that most CC cream have less coverage to be compared to BB cream and looks more natural.
I have acne prone and sensitive skin, so I normally would prefer to use BB cream for a higher coverage. But I would prefer CC cream when I want a more natural look and put some BB cream on area that need extra coverage.
Brighten your skin
You can clearly see the part that I applied become slightly more bright and white.
Coverage
It helps to cover up the redness that are caused by my sensitive skin and toned down other problematic area too. But I would use BB cream on area that need extra coverage.
My Opinion
I love how light and natural it makes my skin looks like. But I have a really big problem with the shade... It become too bright for my skin color and make it look like I am sick. I do recommend to girls that have a paler skin tone than me.

[Review] Etude House Minnie Touch Blusher
Etude House Minnie Touch Blusher is a multi purpose blusher
that makes your face lovely like Minnie Mouse!
(I used daylight for all photos in this post, finally sunny enough for it!)
How To Use:
A: Peach Color, Shy baby face
B: Pink Color, Sweet and lovely chic
C: Purple Color, Covering blemishes
A + B + C = Lovely and attractive baby color!
Package
The outer package of this blusher is super cute and filled with
Minnie symbol and cute bows in a lovely pink color.
I would have wished that the inside ones were so cute and lovely too...
But it become slightly less childish when you bring it out with you.
It's simple and easy to open
Then there is a super cute Minnie inside!
But sadly after using it 4-5 times, my Minnie's face is already starting to disappear.
Later it will only look like the Minnie symbols without faces, which is still cute.
Scent?
A super light perfume smell, had to be 1 cm close to smell it.
Not noticeable while using it on faces.
Bright color!
Results
I think it gives a natural cute pink color, which I have been using in the past few days.
I tried adding more purple on blemish area, it won't cover your blemish up.
But it will help to tune it down and makes it looks better.
Because of the light shade, it will harder to get too much pigmentation on your cheek, which often happens with other blushes.
I have only used 4 blushes before this one, and this will be my favorite for now!

[Review] Etude House BB Magic Balm SPF30
This is my first Etude house foundation and my first time trying a foundation that are stored in a jar. They included a small foundation brush with the foundation.
They claim to provide natural looking coverage that nourishes, soothes and correct your skin tone. One of the main reason to why I picked this is because it's for sensitive skin and clear complexion.
Ingredients
I have sensitive, super dry and acne prone skin.
You can see it cover my redness well and makes the small holes less visible.
But the only problem is that it's still not nourishing enough for my dry skin, and the brush they included would easily leave some strokes. So I have tried with another foundation brush and it worked better than shown on the photo from above.
Lasting
It last for a good 6 hours for me.
Note: If you have read my previous posts, you will know I recently got a scar on my face.
I removed it with photo editor and lighten the photo up.
Shade
There is only one shade for this foundation and I personally think it's actually two shade too light for my skin tone. But somehow once a while I will think it looked right... I think it depends a little on the lighting too. Like the above photo, the main light source is more focused on my face, so it might get slightly darker on other area.
My thought
I love the coverage from this BB balm, it's one of the best one I have tried so far and it's not too drying to be compared to other I have tried. It should be fine for peoples that don't have super dry skin like me. If it were not 2 shades too light for my skin tone, it might become one of my favorite product! I also recommend to use your own foundation brush, you might want to give theirs a try before using your own.
Another problem is that because you will use the foundation brush on the BB balm, so it's better to wash the foundation brush after each use and make sure that your face is clean. Because it's easy to transfer dirt to the bb balm trough the foundation brush.
Recommend to girls...

[Review] Etude House Rosy Tint Lips (Tea Rose)
This is another Etude House lip tint series.
Colors
They have 8 different shade for this series.
I think many of their color is really lovely and they actually recommended number 1 and 8. I always had trouble to pick a color out of so many beautiful colors, but I picked this one because I recently wanted some more in natural colors.
The one I have picked is called "Tea Rose" number 7.
Photo taken from cosmetic-love
Gradient Look
The one I have picked is really close to my real lip color, so it was difficult to create a gradient look. But I think it would work wonderful with other colors as they have shown on the photos.
Package
Personally I do not like this package too much... I don't know if I should blame the package or because I am too weak? I had to use two hand to make the product come out. There application went smoothly, but I would have wished that I don't have to use so much strength to apply a lip tint.
Scent / Taste
I tried putting my nose really close to the product and I can't smell anything and I tried licking my lips with the lip tint on and it don't taste anything either. I am glad that it don't taste anything, so I can enjoy my food without any lip tint taste.
Lasting
The product last well until you start eating or try to rub it off. Same as most other lip products, it's recommended to re-apply once after eating something.
Yes... I got a band aid on my face...
Result
You can see that the shade is really close to my lip color, but if you take a closer look to the before and after photos. You will notice that applying this product gives a nice natural shade and cover up the imperfection of my lip. So I would recommend to any girls that want a natural look for their makeup.

[Review] Etude House Hello Kitty Tender Powder
Etude House don't have many fragrance products, and here is one of them.
They have 3 different of fragrance for this series.
I have been thinking for a long time and have a few review before picking the one I wanted. That I am not even sure if that's really the one I chooses in the end. But I was interested to know how all three smelled like anyway, so it doesn't matter too much for me.
Photo taken from cosmetic-love
Smell
The one I picked is called Sweet Floral Powdery and I can say that it smell exactly same as the name. It had a powdery and floral fragrance to it. To be honest I think it was a little too much of powdery smell for my taste. It will remind you a little of some baby products, which I know some peoples liked it a lot. If I will try another one, then I would have picked Floral Fruity Green.
Package
The package is super cute, which I am planning to use it for something else after I am done with this product. Maybe I will put some other product in there instead, like lip balm or maybe I would put a earring/ necklace in there when I need to bring it with me somewhere.
Why use this instead of traditional liquid perfume?
I think it's much more easier to bring it with you whenever you need to re-apply it, instead of a glass bottle with liquid in it. That if not careful enough might get broken or spilled out. The only problem is that you need to put you finger on it and so recommended to use after washing your hand. It's a great product for when travelling too!
How long do the fragrance last?
It last around 3-4 hours for me, so it's good to bring it with you!
How To Use
It's just the same as any other perfume, they have some suggestion on the back side.
The photo below is where I would apply it.
Recommend To Girls...
Want a cute package
Easy to bring
Fragrance last 4 hours
Good for travel
Package that won't break
Not in liquid form

[Review] (Etude House) Look At My Eyes Cafe and (Aritaum) Sugar Wannabe Cushion Tint
I have seen many Korean styled makeups with pink shade eye shadow, but this is my first time trying it. Pink can be really cute and sweet, but using it wrongly can cause puffy eyes and look like it's infected...
Before I have received many lip tint / sticks that are more in a red color, but I wanted to get something that looks more natural and so I have picked this Wannabe Cushion Tint with a shade called Sugar.
This lip tint include a cushion on the other end,
that you can use to smudge it to create a gradient look.
Gradient Look
Honestly, you can see on the photos that I really tried making it. But you can hardly see any gradient, but I think it have something to do with the color I picked is actually really light and close to skin color. If it a red color, then it should be much more obvious.
Taste
I have mentioned before that I don't like lipsticks that taste anything at all, because I cannot taste the food I am eating and feel like I am only eating the lipstick... and I have that problem with this lipstick. So I had to wipe it off a bit before eating to taste my food.
Blusher
I have seen some photos about using this as a blusher and I tried it, you can see it on my full face photos. I think it's not bad and love that you can have different use of one product!
Lasting
You can easily leave mark on something like a cup while drinking, but since it's a tint. The color will still stay well on your lips.
Colors
The one I used is called "Sugar", they have over 20 shades available!
Scent
It have a slight sweet fragrance, but I had to put my nose like 1 cm from the lip tint to smell it.
I liked the fragrance!
Where To Buy?
Color: PK001
A cute pink color!
There are many different way to use this eye shadow, but here is what I did!
What I did...
1. I used the pink eye shadow over my eyelid
2. Dark brown as a eyeliner close to over eyelashes
and 1/3 under.
3. White shimmer on the front part.
4. It was not shown on this photo,
I used a liquid eyeliner on over eyeliner.
Pigment
I don't think there is anything wrong with the pigment, but because this is really light shade. You have to use a lot to make it visible enough for a eye shadow. I have seen peoples using similar color as a shimmer too.
Natural Look
The website says this product is mainly to create natural looks, so this might be the reason to the light shade, so it's a good product if you want natural looks.
Application
It's easier to apply it with a eye shadow brush and the color appear more vibrant too. The powder is in good form and won't get messy when applying.
Colors
They have around 17 different colors for this product.

[Review] Etude House Play Color Eyes No.2
Etude House don't have many eye shadows palette, but here is a lovely one from them. As they have stated on the product name, play play play! They include many fun colors that you can do mix and match with and can have fun playing with it!
I have wanted to try this palette since I saw this on etude house facebook page and I luckily got sponsored by Alice from W2beauty. She is a really lovely girl that started her own online business to sell Korean cosmetics. She is really friendly, and talking with her is like talking with a friend.
COLORS
They have released two palette for this series and this ones color is more close to daily use. The main color is brown and pinks, there are some matte and some with glitter that can make your eyes beautifully. I have only used it a few times and still learning how to use all of these colors... But it's fun to do something new and create new looks !
I think the pigmentation is good enough for me.
Etude House promote photo
I am afraid that my photos were not clear enough,
so I included their promote photo and so you can compare them.
Example Of How To Play:
I know there still many different ways to use this palette!
My Thought
I have only played with this palette a few this, but I already loved it! It might not be the perfect eye shadow palette you can get out there, but I liked the colors and there is not anything that I really don't like about this palette.
If I have to say one thing negative about it, then it's the eye shadows can easily become powdery on the palette, so have to be careful while using or it can get a little messy.
Recommend to girls....
Daily Eye shadow Palette
Easy to use
Matte + glitter in one palette

The pump makes it easier to use!
Foam
This is first time I used a cleanser that are already in foam once you use the pump. I think it saves time if you wash your face in the morning, because you don't need to create the foam with your hand and less harsh on your skin. It also claim to clean deeper into our skin!
.png "Black Charcoal Konjac Cleansing Puff")
Missha Black Charcoal Konjac Cleansing Puff
is like a sponge that are used to cleans your face.
is like a sponge that are used to cleans your face.
It can be used by itself or with a cleanser.
Konjac cleansing puff have been really popular in both Japan and Korea.
What's good about it?
- Kills acne-causing bacteria.
- Soft and gentle.
- Deeply cleanses and refreshes.
- Gently exfoliates skin.
- Ideal for sensitive skins.
- Naturally pH balanced.
- 100% natural sponge.
- 100% colouring free.
The appearance is like a normal sponge that I told everyone in the family about I hanged it up in the washroom. Because I was afraid they would use it as a normal sponge to clean other stuffs and then I use it on my face again without knowing it.
My Thought
I combined both product on my face wash in the past 2 weeks.
Bubble Cleanser - I like how easy it's to use, especially when you are in hurry in the morning and it feels really clean after using it. Even though it's for acne, but I think this one is not too drying for my skin.
Konjac Puff - This konjac puff gets harden once it's dried, so you must soften it up with water before use. I loved how soft it's and can be used daily for a gentle exfoliate and add up with all the benefits that are mentioned above. I have heard some peoples saying if used with care, you can use it for about 3 months, just until you break it.
Result
I only used it for 2 weeks, so there are not any really big changes that can be seen yet. If you have been reading my blog, you will know that I have acne prone skin and many scars. But after I started using it, I have not got any new pimples yet. If that can keep up, then it might clear up my skin once all scars are healed.
If it really clear up my skin, I will make a post and share it with you.
