Etude House Cosmetics Haul and New Endorsers

I miss blogging and it's really been a long time! 
I have a few stuffs from Etude House that I failed to post and review
 coz aside from being busy my freaking laptop's still not working.
 I'll be updating you guys with some of the lippies that I have, and more.

The last time that I blogged I was all over SHINee and Dara.
Even when I went to Singapore their faces were all over Orchard Malls and K-Street in Bugis.
 I even watched SHINee's concert, alone.


Now they have their latest endorsers, SM Entertainment's Fx members
Sulli and Krystal.


Sulli and Krystal shares the same company/agency with SHINee.
They're from a 5 member girl group.
They're called F(x).


I knew that Sulli will be the next in line coz Etude House Korea was the sponsor
2012's teeny South Korean drama "To The Beautiful You".
Most of the casts' toiletries were from Etude, including Kwanghee's lipbalm
that made me laugh coz it looks familiar.


He's using the SHINI Star Lipbalm in Cherry, the main character from the drama's shade
(Minho's a.k.a Park Tae Jun)

I have 5 of it!! Then when I couldn't even use all of them at the same time,
I gave some of it to my cousins. I've done reviews from the past too, 
just click the "Etude House" label at the right lower side of my blog.

One lippie's left for me, and it's the guava flavor.

Throwback!! This has been my favorite picture, and I did an inspired look last year.
Unfortunately when I watched the concert last December I wasn't able to do this.
I was too lazy and I went to Singapore Indoor Stadium early.

For the makeup tutorial and to see the products used, click this link:


Now let me share with you the sweet smelling, sweet tasting lip tints!

Sulli is using the Fresh Cherry Tint in PK001 pink


 I've bought 4 Fresh Cherry Tints from the past, and here's a collage
I made a month ago


I've got the 4 shades!!
In this pic, I'm wearing Fresh Cherry Tint in OR201 Peach

Still can't get over the Kiss Note Era of Dara and SHINee.
I've bought My Blooming Lips-Talk, one at a time.
in this crappy pic I'm using the lippie in OR204 Shy Coral.

So far, it's my favorite since it makes me look glowing,
and it complements my complexion and hair color well.
I used to like nude lippies but now i kinda hate them coz they made me look
ultra anemic. 

Now there's a new line of pink lippies endorsed by Fx's Krystal
called the Pink Talk Line.
I've got PK014 and I still want to get PK012.
I also got  RD306 and PK006

 

Pink play party was held at Marina Bay Sands last August.
Lucky Singaporean fans were able to catch a glimpse again
of the five boys together with Sulli.

I wonder where are my other nail polishes, lippies, lipbalms..
Last time I checked these are the ones left.. :(
I swear from now on I won't let my friends borrow
any of my makeups...
or my little cousins play with them..

I miss my shopping buddy, my bezzie.
She went back to Singapore last February.
Sooner or later I'll visit her there again, and I'll be bringing my baby and my husband. ^_^
Something to look forward to! It'll be next year.


In this pic we purchased lippies and nail polish, both pale pink and baby pink.
He're a few pics from her beautiful hands, and my thin bony hand.


**Trivia* Lippie Color Guide**

PK stands for Pink - PK006, PK009, PK014
OR stands for Orange - OR201, OR204, OR205
RD stands for Red - RD306, RD304
BE stands for Beige - BE101, BE1

So many colors.. new collections..
Here's Sulli's Orange lippie line,
and more.

 

Still, so many stuffs to look forward to!
What are your faves and latest hauls from Etude House? :)

Inspired Look: 2ne1's CL and Kat Von D

I did an inspired look of both icons that I love but not on myself. There are times that I want to apply makeup on my face but the camera and my face itself were not in the mood, and I couldn't do it well. Sigh..

I asked my two cousins if I can paint their face for a day. First look is inspired by 2ne1's baddest female and their Leader CL. The photo is from their photo shoot from the famous designer Jeremy Scott and the inspired look for my cousin Shane.

  

I couldn't remember some of the stuffs I used coz as far as I remember we did this point and
shoot thing around August or September of last year, but what I precisely remember is that there's supposed to be a lip tattoo very much similar to CL's, but when I applied it on Shane's lower lip it looked pretty bad, the horizontal lines didn't go well and looked too big, 
so I used a white eyeliner, white eyeshadow and black gel liner instead.

Products Used:

Face
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation
 mixed with
 Sugar Skull Cosmetics dark concealer
Origins pressed powder
Sugar Skull Cosmetics 15 concealer palette
Maybelline powder blush in Strawberry

Eyes
Sugar Skull Cosmetics 88 metal palette (silver eyeshadows)
Etude House Code B gel eyeliner in Strong Black
Elf black eyeshadow
Christian Dior pencil eyeliner in Noir
Avon Extralast Mascara in Black

Cheeks
Sugar Skull Cosmetics 10 blush palette (for contouring)

Lips
White eyeliner
White eyeshadow
Etude House Code B gel eyeliner in Strong Black


For Kim I tried to recreate and be inspired by what Kat Von D looked at 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. I've always been wanting to do a makeup look like hers but I failed to do so..Fortunately it looked good on my cousin, more importantly, her signature tattoo, the stars on her left temple.


Products Used:

Face
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation
 mixed with
 Sugar Skull Cosmetics medium concealer
Origins pressed powder

Etude House Code B gel eyeliner in Strong Black

Cheeks

Lips

I'll be posting more inspired looks soon from my favorite Kat Von D!!!
I love this Mi Vida Loca look and I'll be using 78 Color Block Palette.

Singapore ~ Malaysia Beauty Haven


I've been to Singapore and Malaysia late of last year, and found amazing cosmetics from different stores, both big and small. Singapore is such a beautiful country. Everything that I want and need in my life's in there. Convenience, clean and safe surroundings.. cosmetics stores that I love, insane fashion that I want, don't forget the crazy climate.


Whereas Malaysia and Philippines are so much alike when it comes to the climate and commercial places.


Though mostly Chinese, Malays and Indians reside in SG, they are so K-popped in everything. Most Korean cosmetics are admired by beautiful Singaporean women.
Everytime I ride the MRT I see busy gals from work, wearing their fashionable outfit and outrageous makeup look. Most Singaporean-Chinese gals have their hair dyed from medium to dark blonde, like a Himegyaru. Strong eyeliners and thick false eyelashes.. so falsies were everywhere. Eyes were glittery, some were smokey. Pale nude lips. Skirts, killer heels and a Louis Vuitton speedy bag, or Neverfull bag. For beautiful Indian women, they wear smokey eye makeups, contoured cheeks, darker lip shades.

The pretty Lioele Cosmetics Beauty Assistant testing the Lioele 3d powder and mosaic blush on my face.She couldn't speak English well so she talked to me in Chinese the whole time, but she nods to every question I ask her. She's really really pretty in person!! Unfortunately I didn't buy any from the store .


Most drugstores carry Korean cosmetics like Peripera, Lioele, Clio.There's Etude House, The Face Shop, Nature's Republic. For Japanese makeups there's Candy Doll and Dollywink.


Also there's Sally Girl, Canmake, Revlon, Za, SHeene, and so many brands I couldn't even remember! For luxurious ones there's Chanel, the beauty advisors were local, then Yves Saint Laurent where we met a Filipino beauty advisor who gave me a few tips and the contact number for L'Expertise where I can apply as a beauty advisor, like him.Unfortunately when Sephora gave me a call I'm already back in the Philippines.


Dewy look for foundations are in, they're even blessed with good skin, good genes and zero pores. Even Singaporean-Chinese men are so blessed.. and pretty..


My very realiable waterproof freezeproof shockproof dustproof digital camera blew off! now I coudn't do several FOTD's and makeup inspirations. If I have a chance I'm planning to do a look inspired by these sweet beautiful things I saw hanging when I went to Waterfront, Sentosa Island.


Here's a tip I discovered while I was in SG.. If you want to catch men's attention without doing anything. WEAR A BRIGHT RED LIPSTICK. I dunno, it works every freaking time!


I wonder where's Memeth and Louis, british-american guys we met in Sentosa
who offered us a few drinks but April felt scared we didn't entertain them.
They were nice though, and Louise reminds me of Brody Jenner, it's just his hair's curly.



How do you love Singapore lovelies? Any fashion and beauty finds in there?
Share it with me.
