Etude House Season 2 Store @ Wisma Atria

On National Day - 09 Aug 2012, Etude House at Wisma Atria reopens after a major face lift. Called Season 2 store, not only doesit have the newest products, the prices are better and they even offer the latest Makeup trends. That day, goodies were given away as well as makeover sessions. The top giveaway would be the SHINee autographed CD and fans queued since 6am.

The store opened at 9am and there was already a huge crowd. Too bad, I wasn't the lucky few to get the CD, but a very nice fan let me take a photo of her "prize".

*Scream scream scream!!!!*

 

Minho was there for the opening too! :X

Wah pretty glass figurines dancing under the chandelier. So pretty...

I love the new store concept. It's so clean and tidy, even though there's lesser pink, I still feel a lot like a princess in there.

Psst, that's Yu Xi, I've been buying items from her at Etude House. Her service is great! Not only does she share tips, I will always ask her to contact me when there's new collection. :)

WAH! Nail polishes! I wan them all!

A bunch of pretty Korean ladies appeared in black and walked into the stores. For awhile, everyone in the queue were asking which Kpop band are they. Even Etude House's makeup artists look so good!

OMG! I wan this dressing table!





OK! Let's take a look at my purchases. Miminum spending already.  >.<|||

Left: Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream (With additional sponge applicator), 2 bottles of Mascara Remover, Pale Blue with Multi Coloured Glitter Nail Polish, Tear Eyeliner (#4 Sunny Teardrops), Sweet 7 Way Buffer for Nails, Proof 10 Liquid Liner ( OR201), Under Lash False Lashes.

The water bottle was a gift for spending over $60.

The eye-liner is a beautiful orange gold tinge that can brighten the eyelids or even add that little sparkle when you blink...

I use this for undereye lining, not as strong as a white liner, but can still widen eyes...

The BB Cream is very much like their Precious Mineral BB Cream, except this has a SPF 50+/PA+++ with Whitening, Anti-Wrinkle, Anti-Darkening formula. It's easy to blend and keeps me protected under the sun with its waterproof formula!

Being part of the first 89 customer giveaway, I received a Makeup Bag upon purchase! Inside, there was not only samples, there was also a travel set, just nice for my upcoming trip....

[Makeup Tutorial] New products at Etude House

So, I was in town recently and I bought quite a bit of things. Let me share the joy!

I look crazy right?

After pulling and tugging the mask snuggly onto my face, this is how it looks.

Why 3D is coz there is this line that fits right to the middle of your face, super easy to fit the mask on. and the best part is that there is a mask sheet that goes from the bottom of the chin to the ears. Ladies with double chin listen up! Tuck the 2 sides tighter to the ears if you wana decrease your double chins!

But one thing to note is to do the mask lying down, coz if you were to be doing the mask while using the computer or watching TV, the 2 chin mask sheets tend to come off, thus losing the effect. REMEMBER THIS!

This is the before and after photos after 1 use. You can see in the "After" picture, my face looks smaller and tighter. I bet after more uses, my face will be much slimmer. :P

NEXT UP, is the latest "Aloha" collection. They have lip colours, eyeshadow, eyeliners, blushers, bronzers and nail colours for this range but I only got the eyeshadow and eyeliner. They are very special and I love them lots. Check it out -->

Pretty packaging right?

The creamy eyeshadow.

Small and dainty, easy to apply.

The "Aloha Glittering Sherbet Eyes" is a creamy eyeshadow that brings the sensation from the sand grains twinkle shiny as if the numerous stars are moved to the beach. There are several ways to apply this to the eye area.

1. Take an appropriate amount and apply on the lids using the applicator and spread by dabbing your fingers lightly all over your eyes. DO NOT RUB! as you will be removing the eyeshadow and not applying.
2. Use the applicator and dab just a little on your inner corner of eyes to brighten up your eyes. Just a small dot would suffice.
3. Using as an eyeshadow base. After applying all over your lids, before drying up, apply a powder eyeshadow on top to set the colours and make the colours pop. *I would suggest using back a pink or a white shiny eyeshadow for the best effect.

I chose the shimmering pink one and this is how it looks.

The liquid eyeliner, Aloha Color Art Pen.

Love the tip! Allows me to draw the perfect eyeliner in one stroke!

Check out the purple!

Ok! I know alot of you out there stick to black or brown eyeliners. But I'm a gril who loves colour, let me tell you colour eyeliner not only enhance your eye makeup, but also gives others a fresher feel when they look at you. Imagine, seeing 1001 girls on the street in black and brown eyeliners, when you wear a coloured eyeliner out, wouldn't you get all the attention? LOL!

But one thing to note: DO NOT clash the colours of eyeliner and eyeshadow. Use colours that complement each other. See the pictures below and you will understand what I mean.

This is a look using purely the eyeshadow and eyeliner mentioned.

Love those eyes don't you? Eyelashes from Etude House too.

I had the pink eyeshadow on my eye lids and lined my eyes with the purple eyeliner.

Then I also lined the bottom half lid with the purple eyeliner.  Add on your false lashes and you are  all set to go!

 Ok, so with all these makeup, comes a product that removes eye makeup in seconds! It's called Mascara Remover. Writing can't express how wonderful it is, see my first "speaking" video!

*Please excuse my messy background and notice in the middle I said removed my eyes?! NO! I meant eye makeup... I was so nervous making the video. :P

I hope these reviews are helpful to you guys. Currently, these are my fav products. Do stay tuned for more and post some photos if you got the products after seeing this post k?
