Etude House has been my favorite cosmetic line of all time.
The products' quality are really good and the prices are budget friendly.
I've been dying to go to Korea before
just to get a glimpse and get my fingers
just to get a glimpse and get my fingers
on their products.
Now I'm too happy to see several malls in the Philippines
having Etude House stalls and boutiques.

The target market of this cosmetic company
are middle school
are middle school
and high school students,
so they only get innocent looking and
young Korean entertainers as models.

Etude (pronounced in korean as eh-tud-e) and according to my Korean friend
it means something light, peaceful, cute, bright, fancy and sweet.
I accidentally discovered them through the internet around early 2008,
I've seen a few promotional clips and it's too cute.
Cute things and I don't perfectly blend together,
but I really want to see those cute lipsticks and a doll house that sells
cosmetics, and every young customers are called "princess""
First product endorser that I saw was Song Hye Kyo for a double ended
mascara singing the three bear's song.
But then she was too old to endorse Etude and she moved to Laneige.
Then Go Ara & Jang Geun Suk with their Tectonic dance
Our infamous A.N.Jell's Go Minam (Park Shin Hye)
with Hwang Tae Kyung (Jang Geun Suk) is forever my OTP.
their VIP girl lippie CF o.o
then Boys Over Flowers Gu Jun Pyo (Lee Minho) replaced Jang Geun Suk
then there is 2ne1
who changed the definition of etude.. with edge
Dara made her way and becomes the solo endorser,
and the Miss Tangerine collection has been my favorite.
Then October 2011 Etude House announced that
they will be having SHINee as models til October 2012
for their "wanna be sweet?" campaign
Sweet looking cosmetics are meant for girls,
but honestly speaking it doesn't look good for men.
For example, Jang Geun Suk.

LOOOOL I love them but, why???? T~T
In my culture, men being too feminine are being criticized,
if you know what I mean, but I do understand that
Etude House is preserving their sweet image and promoting
innocence, it means pastel colored tops and pure looking face.
I can't wait for the Etude House Mall of Asia branch to open.
My bf and I are strolling around MOA when I saw 2 huge SHINee posters.
One of them is this.
But I want this.. >.<
but I saw nothing.
I haven't tried to hoard new products from Etude lately and also
I haven't made a review about the few products I got.
I only got three.
June of last year my best friend gave me a present and it's
from the Miss Tangerine collection.
It's Sweet Shower Lips and the shade's name is Miss Sunny Tangerine.
When applied on skin it seems
too sheer, more of like a tinted lipbalm.
But once you applied it on your lips
it looks tooooo orangeeeey!!
It's like you drank too much orange soda that it stained
your lips, teeth and tongue. xp
For my complexion it's not wearable.

Fortunately, this color is perfect for Spring ~Summer 2012 Color Trend.
A month ago I got Strong Eyes Code B Gel eyeliner
in strong black.
Very pigmented and smudge proof.
From the picture you can tell the difference by using
2 different brushes. First one is the free brush, second
is Fanny Serrano slanted brush.
I tried to rub it off but it won't come off.
It's really pigmented and glides on your eyelids
really well.
I also got a nail polish in PP04 shade.
A pale strawberry milk shade with a slight purple tone.
It flatters any skin tone and even short nails.
Etude House really got some of the best nail polishes.
It last long, doesn't chip off easily and it's smooth & glossy.
