Etude House Color my Brows

The other day, I accompanied my friend Sheena to the beauty section of the department store. She had asked me to help her in building her basic make up kit. The beauty junkie that I am, agreed without even blinking an eye. The thought of just shopping for make up excited me (even though it's not for me haha). So I asked Sheena what her total budget was and we worked around from there.

Aside from splurging for you base makeup (Foundation, Concealer and Powder Foundation - the most important of all) , another thing worth considering is/are products for your eyebrows. Now if you're a beginner, this can become very tricky and disastrous ( Yes one wrong move or a little too much become TOO MUCH hehe). So one important thing to consider was convenience, the product needed to do the job without the case of disaster from trial and error, it needed to be easy to use. And as I was going around the beauty section, I came upon this product from Etude House:

Etude House Color My Brows
in 1: Rich Brown
PRICE: PHP328!



Here's a swatch of this color:

If you are familiar with MAC's Browset, this product from Etude house is similar to that. It also comes in a little tube and you apply the product with a spooly wand just like mascara. Although it's size is smaller and almost half to the size of MAC's it's definitely worth it for it's cheap price and the amazing quality you will get.

Here's my eyebrow, bare, untamed, shaped but needs more grooming (do forgive, I wish my eye brows looked perfect 24/7 haha).

Now here's what it looks like with just Etude House Color my Brows brushed on, no other products used or tools, this is directly from the wand of the product.

Isn't that wow? I really think this product is amazing, instant color and taming of the brow hairs in a matter of seconds! So when I saw this, I immediately asked the SA to give me 2, one for Sheena and the other for me hehe.

I decided that this product is perfect for a beginner like Sheena since:

1. Very easy to use and can be done in a matter of seconds.
2. Saves you from the horror of intimidating brow products like pencils/powders.
3. Cheap!
4. Colors your brows and shapes it all in one.

Although here are a few things to remember when using a product like this:

1. Your eyebrows must be properly groomed before using it.
2. If you have an extra spooly, use that to pick up the product from the original wand so that first application isn't too thick.
3. If you don't have an extra spooly, scrape of some of the product from the original wand on the side of the opening of the product.

Remember your eyebrows shape and frame the face, properly groomed eyebrows give an instant polish to your overall look.

Overall, I am excited that I saw this product, I give this a total of 3 thumbs up!! :) :) Such an amazing find!


Toodles! :)

Etude House Fresh Cherry Blusher Duo

Hey girls, as you all may know, Etude House had its grand opening of their flagship store in Mega Mall last month. And with the help of Gem (since I got lost finding the store in mega mall) I dropped by, and I must say, the designer of the store did a great job because of its bright lights and inviting interiors, not to mention the cute uniforms of the SAs. So I looked around for a good 45 minutes and I fell in love with their cream blush duo.

They call it the Fresh Cherry Blusher Duo.

It comes in a small compact which has a mirror. The packaging is light weight and very convenient considering you are carrying around 2 different shades.

The blush names I cannot read since it is in Korean hehe but on the left is a Pinkish/Plum color while the one on the right is a more Peachy color.

Here is a poor attempt at the color swatch on my arm. Forgive me on the poor poor photo quality. :( As much as I wanted to try them on my cheeks, my face is in no condition to be photographed now. :(

But you can see even from the poor photo quality that each cream blush is really pigmented and the color you see on the pan is what you will get once applied on skin. :)

Tip: Use a clean brush for each color, apply on skin, then spread with fingers. Do not dip the brush again and/or use your fingers to dip for sanitary purposes. Using a spatula will be better but tends to pick up more color than needed (as you can see on picture above). hehe

What I like:
- Very light on skin, feels like nothing once applied
- Very Pigmented
- Good Staying Power
- Has a very light Cherry Scent hehe
- Compact packaging
- CHEAP! It's only PHP398!!

What I don't like:
- Hope they come up with more colors since this is the only cream duo available


Overall, I think this cream duo blush is a great buy! It is cheap, very light on skin and I have 2 blushes in 1! This is my first cream blush purchase and now I can see the ease of use with a cream blush.

It is also possible to mix the 2 cream blush colors to come up with a new color (but I haven't tried it yet hehe).

This product will merit a repurchase for me once I run out. I probably will be using this cream blush for days when I don't want to be heavy on make up like trips to the mall or the parks. :) I like to set this cream blush with Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil since it doesn't alter the color of the cream blush.

Yayy to my first cream blush from Etude House! :)


Toodles! :)
