Etude House Haul



Last week I was able to go to the newly-opened Etude House store in Mega Mall.  This is one of Korea's premiere brands for skincare and makeup and we in Manila are so lucky that they have opened a branch here.  Next branch is in Festival Mall in the south, I believe.

The best thing is their prices!  Unlike other Korean brands (Skin Food, ehem-ehem) Etude House has kept their prices affordable for all the kikays out there.  They are in fact cheaper than resellers or those who offer pre-orders at Multiply.  Hurray!!!




Here is my tiny haul on that fateful day I went to Mega Mall (I haven't set foot there in a year):




All of the above for around Php 1000 only (around $20).


Speedy Total Mineral Base (Php578)



Nail Sticker (Php78)



Sponge Nail Polish Remover (Php98)



Nail Polish Remover Refill (Php78)



Beauty Stand (Php198)



This is a Code B Eyelash Curler- FREEBIE if you reach P1K


Also for free are those 2 plastic folders with a Korean actor on the cover (I chose this over a box of cotton).  The Beauty Stand is really so cute! I put all my eye brushes in it:



I wanted to get the Beauty Box as well but it was out of stock.  So with their much raved about Dual Fiber Brush (P400+).  I hope they'll be available soon.

There are still so many items on my wishlist but I still need to research on them because they were mostly written in Korean.  Also, their SA's weren't much help because they are poorly trained-- didn't know anything at all about the products they are selling.  Much as I loved the store, the SA's are a complete turn-off.

On my list are their Cleansing Oil in Light, a Pact - still don't know which one) and maybe other skin care items.  Their blushes have very cute packaging too but when I swatched them most were very shimmery.  A trip back is definitely needed but I don't know when because the mall is far from where I live.

hi,sis!

the elena nail polish is P200 per bottle. It's just a small bottle pero sulit naman because u only need 1 coat!

you top it off with a base color & after a couple of seconds, it will start cracking!

voila!instant nail art!
