[Tried & Tested] Etude House Face Conditioning Cream

Hi Huneybees,

Etude House launched the Face Conditioning Cream just at the right time. I got it in a whim, knowing jolly well, I will be getting it cheaper it Korea, but what the heck, I still bought it and brought it along on my trip.

Right now, this is my favourite must-have! This little baby makes my skin soft, priming it for makeup, whilst keeping my skin moist. I always have this problem of getting dry skin when in cold weather, but this time was different, with the Face Conditioning Cream, I had no trouble at all!

The Packaging

Its white pearly box is exactly the same the colour of the cream. Whilst maintaining its girly feel, this white tube is made of a sturdier and shinier material like your toothpaste, so you won't mess it up with their brand of CC Cream.

The Fragrance

It smells a little like baby powder, delicate and soft, with hints of floral scent.

The Benefits

•  With Ingredients like Argan, Olive and Coconut oil to moisturise, nourish and control excessive oil
• Minimizes complex steps from skin care to makeup base to boost makeup condition lightly and simply.
• Anti-Wrinkle
• Whitening
• With added SPF 25 / PA++

 

The Texture

The texture of the product is very creamy, silky and smooth. It is lighter than your usual moisturiser creams and it get absorbed very fast, without leaving any sticky feeling. The skin is just nicely primed and slight whitened, though not as pale looking as CC Cream.

The Review

I only need 50c coin size of the cream for my whole face and after it's fully blended out, my skin is a little brighter and more even-toned with a glowy feel. I have it under my makeup and it adheres to it very well! I didn't need to do any touch ups throughout the day and my skin feels so soft and moisturised even after a day of being out!

So, if you are looking for the all-in-one primer and moisturiser for that glowy, dolly look like the Korean ladies, try the Etude House Face Conditioning Cream!

[Tried & Tested] Etude House Color Lips-fit Lipsticks (Spring 2014 Collection)

Hi Huneybees,

Etude House has been one Korean beauty brand I've been using since Day 1 they launched in Singapore, and everytime there's something new, I would be rushing to stores for them. A little bird told me of their new launch - Color Lips-fit Lipsticks and I knew I had to have them!

Endorsed by the pretty Sulli and Krystal from Korean girl band - f(x), they lipsticks were definitely something to have this Summer!

These Color Lips Fit lipsticks being soft and silky, with an airy texture that provides vivid colour pigmentation. With a range of seven lovely colours and one clear gloss, there's a shade for everyone to show off those lips!

• PK001 Magical Fit Pink
• PK002 Silhouette Fit Pink
• PK003 Fantasy Fit Pink (Sulli’s pick) *Already sold out by the way I arrived!*
• BE101 See Through Fit Beige
• OR201 Dream Fit Coral (Krystal’s pick)
• OR202 Wanna Fit Orange
• RD301 Perfect Fit Red
• H901 Petit & Top Coat

Here's a swatch of the lipsticks on my hand, basically what you see is what you get. The color on the top lid of the packaging is the color you get on the lips. 

I fell in love immediately on how vibrant the colours were and how easily the colours get picked up with just one swipe. But since I've been "collecting" quite a bit of lip colours, I only got the BE101 See Through Fit Beige.

Even the packaging is so bright and bubbly like the colours!

So, I had the lipstick on the moment I got it and I simply loved how *may I stress* easily it glides onto my lips. Once it's dried, there's this light powdery texture, you almost don't feel it at all. There's a matte texture to it and it can be a little drying (that is why the topcoat would be required). 

It didn't transfer at all, even after a few drinks, except that the colour faded off slightly. But the good thing is that the lipstick is buildable and you can layer on a bit more after that.

The only thing I didn't like was the smell. Though it is suppose to be fruity, it kinda reminded me of cough syrups, but luckily once applied, you don't really get the smell or the taste of it. 

The shade that I got - BE101 See Through Fit Beige had a tinge of orange in its nude shade, slightly different from the pinkish nude shade that I have. But I liked how I can match it with almost any colour eyeshadow, definitely a shade for olive skin-toned ladies like me.

If you buy Etude House Color Lips-Fit lipsticks at the store, they are giving out mini H901 top coats per lipstick. It gives the lipstick a slightly more glossy look, but I would prefer it matte, you can have a little lip balm on before applying the lipstick!

Do share your photos with me if you do get the lipsticks! I can't wait to see how the rest of the lipsticks look like on your lips!

[What's New] Getting Lost In SHINee's Performance @ Etude House Pink Party Season 4

Hi Huneybees,

I recently attended the Etude House Pink Play Party Season 4, which was held in Singapore's Marina Bay Sands, to catch a glimpse of Kevin 老师, the makeup maestro from Taiwan, Sulli from f(x), and  most importantly the brand ambassadors - SHINee!

Hosted by Rosalyn Lee, the whole party was indeed super duper pink and cute, the fans were screaming mad and well equipped. Not only did they have their full on LED light boards, they even brought their own stool, to elevate for better photo taking. Thinking that I have my zoom lens equipped, I was already hard core, only to realize that I was blocked most of the time.

Well, so here's the photos taken that night. The party started out with Kevin 老师, doing his thing, teaching us how to apply simple and korean inspired makeup; then to a lucky draw moment with Sulli, before ending with a blasting performance by the boys of SHINee.

The boys - Onew, Jonghyun, Key and Taemin (excluding Minho who didn't turn up due to filming)  performed their popular songs like Why So Serious? and Lucifer. Everyone were singing and dancing to their songs (including me)!

However, the party was short lived, just when everyone was getting high, the performers on stage waved goodbye to us.

Well, guess we can only hope they have the Season 5 party here in Singapore... >.<!!!

Ok. I shall leave you here spamming photos from that night. Enjoy!
