Here are some of the accessories I've bought from the store:





They're just about P100 each. I'll definitely visit the store again and look for more cutie stuff. I'm actually eyeing on the black turban and the floral headband I saw yesterday at SM Megamall.

Goodnight Darling

I’ve tried on my new lipstick before heading to bed haha,, it was also my outfit to work since I was not really in the mood for a smart casual outfit.




I’m currently using Etude House LUCIDarling Fantastic Rouge Lipstick in No. 6 shade, as reviewed on my previous post.

LUCIDARLING Fantastic Rouge Lipstick in No.06


This lipstick promotes LED (Light Emitting Diode) color, radiance and clarity to makeup expression. There are 11 shades available in the market, the 11th shade is actually released just recently for the Golden Ratio collection.  


 From all Etude House lipsticks, this is my most favorite. I chose the neutral shade, which is No. 06, since I don't like obvious lip color. It seems to be the most natural color for my skin tone and good for everyday wear. I love the creamy texture and good lip coverage. Here's how it looks on my lips:

 /forgive the not-so-perfect lips XD



I love the packaging. It's a little matured compared to the other items but still remains cute with the pink bow design at the bottom.

It costs only P478.00 each. That's a very suprising price isn't it? For a glossy, glittery, and juicy effect, try LUCIDarling Fantastic Rouge Lip Gloss.

Etude Time: Be my Valentine Event Day 1


Bookmark and Share
I was one of the event facilitators for Etude Time: Be my Valentine last Feb. 12, 2011 at SM North Edsa, The Block. It was fun giving out free balloons, cotton candies, and printed photos.




I was able to take a picture with the Lee Min Ho standee, though I'm not a fan. Haha. Here are some more photos from the event:


Event poster from the store.


camwhoring? XD



Full of pretty balloons at the back of the store.



The masters of Etude House makeup holding cotton candies. There were also Korean interpreters who helped the makeup artists explain the use of the products.



We gave a  free balloon and cotton candy for every purchase, plus a free makeover with korean makeup artists for every P1000 single purchase. The makeover started from 1pm to 8pm. I also took pictures of the customers who availed the free makeover.

Etude House: MINISIZE U Product Review


Bookmark and Share
I've always wanted tighter and smaller pores since large pores tends to make my skin looks oily and dirty. Oil forms makeup blots on my face which I find ugly. I am half Filipino and half Chinese but unfortunately, I didn't get the perfect Asian genes.

I tried many pore tightening products before but none of those gave good effects on my skin. Most of the time, I get breakouts! So I tried Mini Size U product line from Etude House. I got the trial set from their Grand Launch last year.

It includes Minisize U Massage Peeling Pack, Pore Smoother Serum, Pore Powder Toner, and Pore Control Emulsion. The product line contains fermented rice wine, which is proven to enhance the look of the skin (kojic acid).


The Massage Peeling Pack eliminates dead skin cells. It promotes skin renewal. In a circular motion, massage a small amount on your face and you'll see the residues forming after it.

Next is the Pore Powder Toner, which is my favorite. I even bought the big bottle last week for only P478.00


Shake the bottle before you damp on a cotton. It absorbs oil and leaves a powdery skin after use! Then I use Pore Control Emulsion for morning, which acts as a light moisturizer, and the Pore Smoother Serum at night. I noticed that my skin is now bright and smoother! There are no dramatic improvements with the pore size but at least my skin is now less oily. With consistent use, I'm expecting to have a flawless, perfect Asian skin!
