Product Review:Etude House: Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss #2 UPDATED

Hello again dollies! For my review today it's the Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss #2 from Etude House!
Back view (It's the #2 gloss)
Front view




For the first time I think I have found the perfect lip gloss for me. This lip gloss is not that sticky compared to other lip gloss and it gives me that perfect and natural shine on my lips. What I love more about this product is that it smells so good (like a strawberry candy yum! ) that I want to eat it from it's bottle haha 
This is how it looks on my lips when applied.
Before

After
See how it gives a natural shine on my lips? I'm really loving this product.

This is how it looks like when swatched in my hand.


As you can see there's a hint of pink in it but you can't barely see the pink on the lips. Well it's fine with me as long as it gives a natural shine to my lips. 

This is how the product looks like.
Sorry if it's a little blurry

The texture of the gloss is really fine (It's like water) not sticky which is actually good. With one swipe you can cover your lips perfectly. It comes with a round like sponge brush that is actually soft in the lips which is an another plus.*update* From the name itself which is Roll Roll Gloss, the brush tends to spin on which you can roll it to your lips for easy application and I just discovered it now. I have this product for a very long time and I just found out recently that the brush is spinning and I thought that the brush is broken but it's not! It is made to spin so boo me for finding it too late.* As usual to Etude House's products, the packaging is really cute and I really love it.  Overall this product is really good! 

THE PRODUCT: Etude House Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss #2
PRICE: Php 278
PLACE WHERE IT IS BOUGHT:  Etude House SM Megamall
WHEN: April 30, 2011

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT: 

  • Of course the cute packaging.
  • The sweet smell of it. (It's like strawberry)
  • The texture of it. (It's not that sticky)
  • It gives a natural shine on my lips and I think it's wearable for everyday.
  • It has a right price for a good product.
  • *UPDATE* The unique wand which is made to roll on your lips
WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:
I can't think of anything to hate this product haha I just love it! 

THE VERDICT:
I really love this product of Etude House from it's packaging to the product itself. Everything in it is perfect!

WILL I RECOMMEND IT/ BUY IT AGAIN?:
I will definitely recommend it to others especially to those who love lip gloss and I will definitely buy it again. There are a lot of colors in this gloss and will try all of it's shades. ^^,

As of this time this is what I really love in Etude House's products. I know they have lots of good products and will try all of them! ^^, So there you go another review from Etude House, till my next post dollies! Bye! 

Product Review:Etude House Petit Darling Nails High Beam BL502 part 2


Hello again dollies! As you can see I already have a review about this nail polish from Etude House. To refresh your mind this is the BL502 nail polish. If you want to see the review again CLICK HERE. So why do I have a part 2 of it? Well I like to update you on what I have experienced with this product and this one is the one I really like about the nail polish. I can't believe that this nail polish comes off really quick even though I am using an ordinary nail polish remover. This is the first time in my life that I enjoyed removing a nail polish. I guess this is the strong point of this product.

 WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
  • The cute packaging
  • The cute color
  • It comes off easily when you remove your nail polish
WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
  • It takes too long to dry
  • the lasting power is not that good
  • The smell (Well it's natural for nail polishes haha but I'm hoping that I can find a nail polish that has a good smell something that will not rip my nose off haha XD)
  • Too expensive for a nail polish that is not that good (Sorry I'm a kuripot and I want that If I buy something, it is really worth it. ^^,)
THE VERDICT
Out of 5 I will rate this product 3. The color is really cute but the lasting power failed me.

WILL I RECOMMEND IT
Maybe NO. I think there are more better nail polishes out there and I can say that my Caronia nail polishes are better and cheap compared to Etude House.

WILL I BUY IT AGAIN
Well maybe since that the colors of Etude House's nail polishes are cute. I guess I need to find a really good top coat to go with this. ^^,


So there you go a part 2 of my nail polish review. ^^, See you again in my next post!



Etude House Singapore

Hello again dollies! For my post today I want to share you the Etude House in Singapore! My BF went to Singapore for their family vacation and I told him that if you find Etude House in Singapore please do take a picture of it. Luckily he found it haha and here it is. 
I'm not quite sure on where exactly this is located. (I'll ask my BF first) anyway as expected to Etude House, anywhere in the world their store is really cute and PINK! I told him not to buy there though because I know that Etude House's products in Singapore are quite expensive. (I don't know why) anyways he also told me that Tony Moly (sister company of Etude House) is just right across the store haha (Waa I forgot to tell him to take a picture of it as well.)


So there you go the Etude House in Singapore! See you in my next post again!

First Nail Art: Strawberry Madness

Hello again guys! ^^, Like I said on my personal blog I am getting addicted to nail polish and of course I tried nail art as well. My first nail art was truly a disaster haha but on my second attempt it came out pretty good haha ^^, Thanks to Youtube for the tutorials.^^, So the very first nail art that I made is a very simple one and it's a strawberry which I find the cutest among the fruits haha So this is my first attempt and tried it on my feet haha ^^,
Sorry about my feet >.<






This design is actually easy to do ^^, You just need 3  colors of nail polishes which is pink,white and green. ^^,
STEPS
  1. File and buff your nails first for a good finish. ^^,
  2. Don't forget to apply base coat especially with a nail strengthener formula
  3. Paint your nails PINK! (my favorite color ^^,)
  4. On the part where the cuticle and nails meet paint a straight line in green color. (This will be the leaves)
  5. Using a toothpick put a white dot all over the nails. (This will serve as the seeds :3)
  6. Finally put a topcoat on it to make it last ^^,
Very simple isn't it! ^^, Try to do it yourself and if you want you can watch some tutorials on Youtube ^^,
I hope this little tutorial helps. ^^,
See you again guys! 




Pink Membership Card

Hello again guys! ^^, I got so excited on my first product review that I forgot to show you my Pink Card haha ^^, So here you go a picture of my Pink Card yay! ^^, I want to thank my love for giving me such a wonderful gift for my birthday. ^^, Now I can use this card and purchase more Etude House products haha ^^, I really hope that someday I can attend on one of their events ^^,

Hoping to see you again guys on my next review! ^^,

Product Review:Etude House Petit Darling Nails High Beam BL502

Hello again guys! As promise I will be writing a review about the first batch of products that I bought from Etude House. Hooray! The first product that I am reviewing is drum roll please ^^, *drum rolls* The Petit Darling Nails High Beam BL502! 
code of the product ^^,
It's a color sky blue nail polish and on what I experience in this product is that it somewhat changes it's color during night and day haha ^^, At night it tends to be darker. As usual the packaging is cute and princess like which I really love. The product is not that bad and I actually use two coats of it since that it looks too light in one coat. Here's the picture of my painted nails in two coats.  I don't know if it is me but on what I experience I can make my other polishes last longer for about a week but with this one it just day for about 3-4 days. Maybe I need the Etude House top coat for this haha ^^, I thought that this nail polish will have a good scent since that their nail polish remover on what I have read on other reviews smells nice but I kept my hopes too high haha. Overall this nail polish is not that bad. ^^,
Sorry about the ugly painting of my nails I am in a hurry haha XD


WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
  • The cute packaging
  • The cute color
WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
  • It takes too long to dry
  • the lasting power is not that good
  • The smell (Well it's natural for nail polishes haha but I'm hoping that I can find a nail polish that has a good smell something that will not rip my nose off haha XD)
  • Too expensive for a nail polish that is not that good (Sorry I'm a kuripot and I want that If I buy something, it is really worth it. ^^,)
THE VERDICT
Out of 5 I will rate this product 3. The color is really cute but the lasting power failed me.

WILL I RECOMMEND IT
Maybe NO. I think there are more better nail polishes out there and I can say that my Caronia nail polishes are better and cheap compared to Etude House.

So there you go my first review haha and I think a not so good review waa T_T but Etude House has lots of great products. I guess nail polishes are not their forte. ^^, See you again guys on my next review! ^^,

First visit at Etude House

Hello again guys! ^^, Finally I have my first visit at Etude House at SM Megamall last April 30, 2011. The day before my birthday haha It was an advance celebration of my birthday with my BF and my first wish is to visit Etude House. ^^, It was a really dream come true to me to finally visit Etude House and I must say that my first stay there is quite an experience. The atmosphere feels so good I feel that I am in a princess room. ^^, The staffs are very friendly as well. ^^, So I checked all of their products and roam at their store for about ten times haha. My BF decided to buy me some stuff from Etude House as a birthday gift for me. ^^, So I have the Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss #2, Petit Darling Nails high beam BL502, and Petit Darling eyes matte no 1. I also got my Pink Membership card and a tissue as a freebie. ^^, Here is a picture of them ^^,
I am so happy that I got my own Etude House products now and thanks to my BF for buying these to me as a present. ^^, Since that I am now starting to grow my own makeup collection, I might as well learn how to use these products properly haha and makeup techniques as well. I want to thank google for helping me out. ^^, As for the review of these products, I promise that I will do that in my next post. ^^,

See you again guys! ^^, *wave*

Etude House


Finally I'm done with my beauty blog haha and for the first post I want to introduce you to Etude House! ^^, The main reason why I made a beauty blog haha anyways what is Etude House?

Etude House is a Korean cosmetic brand that is popular for their affordable products and of course on their cute,pink and princess like products.Their store is like a cute princess room where it is pink and of course the atmosphere or ambiance is princess like as well which I really love and a big factor to attract customers. ^^, Now they opened their first shop in the Philippines and I think it was last 2009 or 2010.(Where am I all these years? haha) I pity myself for not hearing about Etude House before huhu T_T

I am not a fan of cosmetics before but a few months or weeks before I turn 20 on May 1 I became interested in girly stuffs haha ^^, I started in nail polish and also tried nail art. ^^, and now I got a bunch of nail polish in my beauty box. ^^, as for the make up I only have a pressed powder from Nichido (which my mom gave me haha), a blush on from Ever Bilena (Philippine Brand) and a Nivea lip balm and recently I bought a pink lip gloss from Shawill (I think it's a Philippine brand as well) because number one I want to give color to my nude lips and second it is affordable. (Maybe I'll do a review about these products too haha) These are my only makeup in my makeup kit haha because I only want my face to look refreshed especially during school days where I commute and partnered with a really hot weather and pollution.

So how did I heard about Etude House? It happened when I was looking for a really good lip gloss something that will give color and shine to my very nude lips. While browsing online I stumbled in a blog where she is reviewing about the top 10 lip gloss from Etude House. Hmm Etude House it does ring a bell. So I search Etude House on the net and when I saw their logo and their pink and princessy trademark  something went up to my mind thinking that I saw their store before here in the Philippines and I think that was in SM Megamall. As I browse in the net for more info I finally got an answer and my instincts where correct. It was in SM Megamall and I passed by their store for around a thousand times and pity myself now why I didn't knew about Etude House before? I am missing all the fun stuff from it and now that I knew about it, no one can stop me now in this new passion of mine. So after knowing about Etude House I just can't wait to visit their store for the first time. ^^,

In my next post I'll post about my first visit in Etude House and the products that I bought from there. ^^, See you guys!
