Etude House Lovely Freebies~

hi there!!!

If you have been following my blog posts, you sure have come across a lot of posts about my skin care products.

So every time I buy korean skin care and make up goods, I always
get freebies. Well, that is if you've spent at least 500 php, then you get a freebie.. same goes if you pay a thousand pesos and so on. The more amount you spend is equal to the worth of freebie you get.

It's different in Korea because there, you get a freebie everytime you purchase even one item. Or maybe it's just based on my experience... hehehe...

Oh well, I guarantee you that each freebie is worth a try. That actually gives me an idea if the product is good for me or how effective it is.

Here's a few of what I got for freebies.

These green tea nose strips from Etude House are one of my favorites. I used to purchase my nose strips though from another korean brand but I find these strips from Etude House also working perfectly fine for me.

The Super Collagen moistfull essence is a sample from the Super Collagen line. See, this gave me an idea to start with the Moistfull Collagen line because upon using this sample.. I knew it is great for my skin.

It gives a soft, dewy feel and it has collagen and baobab as part of the ingredients. I don't see any alcohol content ~ as what this collagen line claims. It has natural ingredients and non alcohol contents that makes it safe to use on sensitive skin.

As collagen is its main ingredient, it has anti-wrinkle properties and makes the skin healthy, younger and glowing.

The freebies depends on the month and whatever line Etude House is promoting. So, apart from the freebies, you get points if you're a member whenever you buy there, sign up now if you're not yet one, and be a princess. You deserve it! *smile*

Etude House Pearl Aura Brightening: Fall in Brightening Kit

annyeong!~

I've been blogging my lovely korean skin care lately. I just can't get enough of how cute stuffs Etude House can still give.

So this time... it's my Pearl Aura Brightening Kit. I mentioned from one of my previous blogs that I received a sample of a Pearl Aura Brightening Essence and it was effective.

I said so because I used the sample after a week of staying in the province down south of the country. It was totally hot and I got few sun burned spots even in my face.

The sunblock I was using may not be super effective and so when I came back in the city... I can't imagine getting a bit of a dark skin. It takes time to return to my real skin color.

So I tried the sample essence and only after two weeks, I saw the difference. Truly.. I have delicate skin but this really impressed me. My face color turned bright and glowing at the same time whitened the dark spots.

This made me buy the entire kit, as they have the trial kit for this skin care line ~ it has the following and all in the trial sizes: 50 ml bottle

1) Pearl Aura Peeling Softener
2) Pearl Aura Brightening Essence
3) Pearl Aura Brightening Essence Lotion

This kit costs 875 php. And trust me.. it is really worth the price. This kit is good for a month or two and is supposed to be a trial kit. They sell the individual products at a larger size than the ones included here.

all of them are sealed and takes 12 months to expire after opening them

As it says... this kit completes my night skin care routine. They all have the same light powdery scent.

First, the Pearl Aura Peeling Softener. Spread a small amount on dry face and softly rub in a circular motion. You'll feel the dirty layer of the skin peeled slowly.

~ peels away dead skin cells and gives skin a healthy, clean feeling
~ I dont use this every night.. it is enough to use at least two to three times a week
~ it has a very light feeling even if it is used for peeling
~ skin turns soft but clean after wash

this is how the peeling softener looks like once spread a bit

Afer the peeling softener, wash your face and pat dry.

Next step is the Pearl Aura Brightening Essence.

~ it has pearl particles that deeply moisturizes skin
~ very light and non sticky when applied on the face
~ just a small amount on my palms, and I tap it all over my face until it's absorbed

here's the brightening essence feel once it is spread on skin

Lastly, use the Pearl Aura Brightening Essence Lotion.

~ this is amazingly posh, gives you the glowy and dewy look at night
~ it has these pinkish, silvery particles that makes the skin shiny
~ non sticky and absorbs fast
~ it gives a healthy look on my face

here's the essence lotion, you can see the sparkly pinkish silver on the cream

once it's spread on the skin, it gives a shiny sparkling effect

I totally love everything in this kit and if there is another kit like this, I'd get the same again. I'm not sure if this is only introductory for this product line but I can say it is also affordable.

I used all three products before taking this selfie and there's no filter.. it just gives me that glow after using them

Though after using the kit.. I'm sure I wont regret buying each product separately. Among the three, I'd choose the Pearl Aura Brightening Essence because I'm totally a big fan of essences, face mist and cream.

After purchase, I got this freebie which was a great sample too. This is a new line - the age defense line and I got this essential emulsion. I now have the kit of this new line which I'll be blogging soon. I'll be using this new line as I'm about to finish the pearl aura kit this week. yay!!!

Visit Etude House now and look for this line. It's super worth it for princesses like us.

Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in Peach Parfait

Hi!!!~ 

I just blogged about my Etude House BB Cream last time and this time, I'll blog the product I bought together with that BB cream. It's my Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher. 

I have been using only the lip and cheek tints for my lips and sometimes on my cheeks ~ I'm not a fan of blush-ons and cheek make ups, actually. but when I saw these lovely colors and packaging from Etude house, I bought one right away. 

I got mine in #10 shade ~ Peach Parfait. Their bestseller shade though, the Grapefruit Jelly (#6) was sold out at that time. Since I'm a fan of orangey make-up and peach shades, as they say, it fits my skin tone, then I tried this one.

I've got a lip tint and lipstick in orange shades, so getting a peach shade of blusher is fine. This blusher is really lovely and has a natural shade that gives a natural yet slightly blushed look on me.

It comes with a cute puff which is replaceable. You can buy a new puff for this cookie blusher from Etude House if you think it needs replacement after months of using it.

my blusher with the old puff so I bought a new puff~

my cookie blusher with its new puff~ looks clean and new again

It is girly and it adds a bright pop of color to my cheeks.

There's a lot of shades to choose from so get one now. I'm sure every girl would want something cute like this in their beauty pouch.

Cookie blusher puff - 98 php

Cookie blusher - 348 php

Available in all Etude House stores.

freebie~~~ lip tint in cherry red

Etude House Precious Mineral Bright Fit BB Cream

So, it's been a while since I last posted anything. Good thing is I had the time to use these korean products I love before sharing my thoughts about them.

I've been waiting to share my thoughts about my favorite bb cream from Etude House ~ it's the Precious Mineral Bright Fit BB cream in N02 which is their lightest shade. I've always used the lightest shade because of my skin tone whenever I buy korean beauty products. This is the second tube of this bb cream I've used. 

I tried quite a few BB creams and the only best ones for me are from two different korean stores ~ The Face Shop and Etude House. Some BB creams I've tried, I may have used them after two weeks before giving them away as it may have affected my sensitive skin.

This BB cream has natural ingredients which won't harm the skin plus I get a lot of benefits. This tube goes a long way as I use a very minimal amount of cream, I started using this since March and I'm about to finish this tube now. I think this will last before this year ends. 

The tube has 12 months expiry once the product is opened. See the icon at the back to check how many months it can be used.

Etude house BB Cream has the following claims:
- SPF 30
- anti-wrinkle 
- whitening an anti-darkening

* It prevents skin from becoming oily / dull by controlling sebum balance
* Has natural anti-oxidant powder giving you vivid and clean skin tone
* Has pearl ingredient extracts for whitening and giving a brightening effect
* Has seaweed extract for moisturizing effects

The tube is hygienic as it has a pump so I can control the amount to use on my face and neck. Since I'm a fan of dewy effects and not a matte finish, I use moisturizer first before this bb cream and at intervals, I spray a face mist on my face. Some would prefer not too dewy finish, so it is manageable. 

I love the scent and especially the finish off look it gives me.

I would definitely purchase a third one and it is not too expensive which is also a plus to everyone who loves this product. It costs around 895php (it's not exact, I think but approximately). And it lives up to my expectations.
