August 2012 Mini Haul

Hello hello again my dear dolls! 
I really miss blogging so much and it's so good to be back again even for just a while. I want to thank all my blog readers for still being there and also to my new followers who had time to follow my blog and also dropped some sweet comments. I don't want to make this post very long since I want to make more post to make-up with you my dear dolls. So this is it for my August haul.

Yeah I know I got a really few items for this month. It's just that I am now controlling myself in purchasing beauty stuffs and decided to buy what I need first. So I am planning on a PROJECT NO BUY in beauty stuffs after my last haul which is my Phil-Cosmetics Expo Haul (To be posted after this post) I decided to finish up all of my beauty stuffs first before buying another since that I already have decided some HG's on my makeup. This month and last month is also the worst month for my skin because of major breakouts that I had which is really ugly and decided to be more careful now on trying out new products. So here's what I got for this month.

• Etude House I Need You Lemon Mask Sheet
• Etude House Petit Darling Nails OR207
• NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp
• Skin 79 BB Cream Hot Pink
• Tony Moly Crystal Tear Glitter Eyeliner (So sorry I forgot to take a picture of it.) 

I will definitely make a review of these products since two of the items here in my haul is now part of my HG.

I hope you can wait for it patiently.

Take care and always stay pretty!

Lastly from Watson's Makati I got the Barbie Pink Glam Lip Frosting (This is on sale so I hurriedly got it), Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Pink Flame and 2 Beauty Buffet Facial Masks.

Product Review: Etude House Black Charcoal Chin Pack

Hello again my dear dolls!
It's been a really long time since I have updated my blog and I feel really ashamed of myself on not sticking with my promise of having a blog post even once a week.  I know I always say sorry but I do hope that you will understand. 

So let's go straight with the review

For today's review it will be the  Etude House Black Charcoal Chin Pack.

Product Description

Formulated with black charcoal additives to remove oil and pore sebum. Patch tightens pores and contains aloe vera to improve chin complexion.

From the product description itself, you will know what the product is for. I just bought this because of the really cute printed girl and for removing some whiteheads on my chin. That's the only thing and nothing else.

PRODUCT 

It is like the usual eye mask but for the chin part. It smells like real charcoal that's why I didn't had the chance to put it in my chin part for a very long time since I am bothered with the smell. What I like is the cooling part which I think is not really necessary for the chin.

HOW TO USE

1.) Wet chin with water

2.) Remove clear film from pack and fasten adhesive side to chin for 10-15 minutes.

3.) Remove strip when dry.

PACKAGING

It comes in the usual sachet for mask type products. What caught my eye is the cute little girl that is printed on the front part of the packaging.  What I can say is that this is more like an eye gel patch which comes in a clear film where the product sticks and you can just simply remove it like a sticker and stick to your chin. The upper part or should I say the front part comes in color black which I think is the charcoal. Just see the photos below for a better description.

VARIANTS

From this line, it came with different products for the eyes, nose and chin. For this certain product, this is the only variant that you can buy.

AVAILABILITY

This can be purchase at any Etude House Boutiques and SM Department store beauty section/Watson's. I can say that this is also a fast moving item because it's always out of stock.

THE PRODUCT: Etude House Black Charcoal Chin Pack

PRICE:  Around Php 58-98 (Sorry I can't really remember)

PLACE: Etude House SM MOA

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

• Cute Packaging
• Easy To use

WHAT I DON'T LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

• The smell is kind of bothering (at least for me)
• Didn't do anything
• Kind of expensive for a chin pack

WILL I RECOMMEND IT/ BUY IT AGAIN?:

I don't really recommend this product. It's pretty much a useless product for me. Maybe you'll buy this because of the cute packaging or simply out of curiosity.

RATING:  1/5

THE VERDICT:

If it weren't for the cute packaging and few whiteheads on my chin part, I will not buy this product. It is just a waste of money.

Have you tried this product? Can you recommend an effective chin pack? Please do let me know.

Till my next post my dear dollies.

Take care and always stay pretty!
