ETUDE HOUSE 2016 HOLIDAY COLLECTION: MY LITTLE NUT

 ana05     November 20, 2016     christmas, cosme, cosmetics, etude house     No comments   


Try not to laugh at the series name.

Christmas time is almost around the corner, and some of the brands out there already have plans for your money. They have pushed out a variety of gift sets that are pretty good value in my opinion!

The rest of the collection is beautiful, just take a look!



The Etude House online store is currently (as of day this entry goes live) having a promotion, and some of the items are already out of stock, so I'll not leave individual links to the products. Just trying to protect you from a heart break, you know what I mean? ;)

MY LITTLE NUT PLAY 101 PENCIL | 6000 WON

I've seen reviews where bloggers praised their pink skull eyeshadow palette for the better quality eyeshadows, which is different from their usual single eyeshadows. I don't know if these take after the pink skull formula, or the usual. From the swatches they look alright - looks sheer but even.

Most of the time I find the eyeshadow look better in the palette than on actual skin. The selection of colours is beautiful! That I think everyone can agree on!

MY LITTLE NUT KISSFUL LIP CARE SET OF 3 | 12000 WON

PK009 is a pearl top coat that works best when paired with other lip colours. It seems to have the best effect when applied to darker lips (as seen from the swatches), giving it a metallic look. But my first thought is: wouldn't the lipstick rub off what's already on the lips when applying the top coat?

ENDING THOUGHTS:
Now, I'm not usually a fan of pearly lipsticks, but the pearly top coat did catch my eye after I saw it being paired with the darker shade BE103. 

What can I say, I have some Niffler (a Fantastic Beast reference) within me, being attracted to shiny things :P The shimmer of the pearl is amplified when contrasted against a darker shade.

Other than that, the liquid highlight interested me as well, seeing how it gave a highlighted the model's cheeks. It's also interesting to see them creating a slightly deeper shade for bronzing purpose, since bronzing isn't really a trend in the Korea beauty scene.

And yea, I wanna say it again - the eyeshadow colours look great in the palette, but not so much on the skin. The harmony between the different shades, especially the cool toned greyish blue, is awesome. I mean, I'd probably frame it up as art just to admire the colours, just not on my skin.

Lastly, if you didn't think "my little nut" is funny, good on you. Please preserve your innocence in this world fill with a plethora of dirty innuendoes. The world needs people like you!

2015 Christmas Gift Ideas (BATH AND BODY)

 ana05     December 10, 2015     christmas, crabtree and evelyn, gift guide, loccitane, the body shop     No comments   


Brace yourself, Christmas is coming.

christmas, the season of giving and festivity.
but who says these are only good for gifts for others?
i find christmas to be a good time to score good deals provided you've been wanting to try certain products for a while, especially if you've been wishing for smaller sizes.

your wish is granted.

here are a few gifts i personally wouldn't mind receiving because EVERYONE needs/can use a hand cream.
i assume if these are stuff i see utility in, others will too. (totally imposing my likes and dislikes on others haha!)
instead of getting them in full sizes, you can now get to sample (several of) them at one go at a fraction of the original price.

also, this is a really good time to grab a few travel sets so you can use them when you go on a weekend getaway. there's a limit on bottled liquids (you can only bring a maximum of 1L of liquid on board, each individual container must not be more than 100ml), so miniatures will be perfect!

thanks santa!

EDITOR'S THOUGHT

before you say that the selection is very limited, i'd like to reiterate that these brands are those i've been keeping a lookout for throughout the years, so that's why i'm featuring them since i just so happen to know this few brands. even though they all sell roughly the same things, there's still a difference between their price points (with l'occitane being the most expensive out of all).

after making necessary conversions, you get the most value of of your buck (for hand creams) if you get the CRABTREE & EVELYN Hand Therapy Musical Tin (Set of 12) (at $9.84 per 30ml). 

so, one tube of hand cream for every month?

Christmas 2014. FOTD

 ana05     December 24, 2014     2014, christmas, crveni, eyeliner, fotd, glitter, look, makeup, ruz     No comments   


Ho Ho Ho!

Ne mogu vjerovati da je sutra Božić...ne mogu vjerovati da je 2014. godina praktički završila. Vrijeme slow down please!

Imam jedan super jednostavan look za vas danas, look koji ja nosim i kojeg ću sutra također nositi, jednostavan, pomalo glamurozan look sa nezaobilaznim crvenim ružem i glitter eyelinerom. Što se tiče look-ova za Božić nema pravila naravno, možete se šminkati kako god želite i onako kako vi najviše volite.

Ja osobno imam samo jedno veliko NE kada su u pitanju look-ovi za Božić a to je Candy Yum Yum i CYY look alike ruževi. Ne znam zašto no jednostavno mi se te neonske pink nijanse nikako ne uklapaju u sav taj Božićni đir hehe.






POPIS PROIZVODA:

Lice:
REVLON Photoready Primer
REVLON Colorstay tekući puder (Buff)
KEVYN AUCOIN Sensual Skin Enhancer SX02 (ispod očiju) 
CATRICE Camouflage Cream 010 (na nepravilnosti)

Obrve:
SLEEK Brow Kit in Extra Dark (vosak)
ARTDECO sjenilo za obrve (nijansa 2)
CATROCE Eyebrow Kit (svijetlija nijansa za prednji dio obrva)

Oči:
DEBORAH 24 Ore Perfect Eye Primer
SLEEK Au Naturel paleta sjenila 
(Cappuccino u pregib, Bark u vanjski kut i donji kapak, Nougat preko kapka)
MAYBELLINE Gel Eyeliner 07 Black Chrome
L'OREAL Infaillible 001 sjenilo (unutarnji kut)
ARTDECO Glam Stars Liquid Eye Liner (preko MNY gel eyelinera)
RIMMEL Scandaleyes in Nude (waterline)
MAX FACTOR Masterpiece Transform maskara 

Obrazi:
SLEEK Face Contour Kit in Light (bronzer i highlighter)
SLEEK Blush by 3 Sugar paleta rumenila - nijansa Turbinado

Usne:
CATRICE C03 Bloody Red ruž (Revoltaire LE)

I to je to, ovo je look koji sam danas furala i kojeg ću sutra ponoviti. :)

Želim čestit Božić vama i vašim obiteljima! xx
