Etude House Sleeping Pack

About time for a review on the Etude House Sleeping Pack.  I got the Pore Tightening variant in the green tube.  There are other variants available (Pink- Moist & Firm, Lilac- Bright & Soft) for Php 428 per tube.

Random Hauls and More

A few stuff accumulated over the past 2 or 3 weeks.

From Drugstore.com I got my first Yes to Carrots items.  This is the Pink Power lip set which includes Lip Butter, Lip Gloss and Lip Tint in varying shades of Pink.  I saw Yes to Carrots being sold before in Watson's MOA last year but they didn't have cosmetics, only skin and hair care.  Not sure if they're still being sold locally.  Yes to Carrots is an organic or all natural line of products.

I haven't opened this box up to now since I still have a ton of lippies open.

Next is Etude House Dr. Oil Solution Shine Free Dual Primer.  Good thing their whole Dr. Oil Solution line is now available locally as I almost ordered it from pre-order groups.  It's also so much cheaper in local stores.  

Etude House Cleansing Dream Light Cleansing Oil

I am one of the users of oils to cleanse the face of make-up although those that I've used aren't the mainstream brands of cleansing oils like Shu Uemura or DHC.  The only other brand I've tried is the Fasio Cleansing Oil which they have since discontinued (why oh why?) and this:

BBW and Etude House Mini Haul

I am a body wash addict and Bath & Body Works is #1 in my short-list of bath product companies.  I love their Creamy Body Washes (which they have discontinued and changed to Triple Moisture Shower Cream).  Another of their body washes that I absolutely adore is their Temptations line which lately comes out only during the Christmas Season.

I ordered these 3 bottles last holiday season during their Semi-Annual Sale but only recently got hold of it coz of delayed shipment.  Unfortunately BBW does not ship to the Phils. and this line is not available locally.  We only have the shower gels (which I dislike because they are drying to my skin) and the rest of the line (hand sanitizers, hand soap, body splash and lotions).

These are 16oz. bottles each which last 3-4 months of daily use per bottle for me.  I got the scents I Love Licorice, Spiced Gingersnap and Twisted Peppermint.  They all smell heavenly!!!  And yes, I have lots of BBW still in my closet.  I now have 5 bottles of Temptations and 6 or 7 tubes of the Creamy Body Washes in different scents.  I still plan to hoard from some sellers once I have the moolah since they are d/c in the site.

Etude House Beauty Box

Thanks to the lovely Sol for getting me these:

Etude House BB Magic Pact

I've never used a Pact or any other foundation in compacts before.  The BB Magic Pact is the first time I used one.  I got this on my 2nd Etude House haul in a previous post.  It costs Php 678 and they come in 2 shades, #1 and #2.  I got #2 which is darker of the 2.

The box is pretty in a holographic sort of way.  Really eye-catching.  Too bad most of the info is written in Korean.

Etude House Haul #2

I was able to go back to Mega Mall yesterday (after pleading my case with hubby because he hates going to Mega Mall), wahoo!

Etude House still had a lot of items out of stock but I was able to get some of those on my list.  I literally had a list which the SA looked at to help me find them.    Good thing they were more attentive to their customers and they greeted me with "Hi, Princess!" when I went in the store, LOL!

This is my haul:

Etude House Speedy Total Mineral Base

One of the products I got from Etude House is their Speedy Total Mineral Base.  It costs Php 578 for the 50ml. tube.  This is a 3-in-1 product because it is a sunblock, a makeup base and a foundation.  It is NOT a BB Cream because it doesn't contain any skin improving properties.

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in Pink

One of Etude House's more popular products is their Fresh Cherry Tint.  They have 3 shades (Red, Pink and Peach/Orange).  I got mine from a co-GTer last December even before Etude House opened shop.  Price was inexpensive too but I don't remember exactly how much.

This is the Fresh Cherry Tint in Pink:

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!!!
