For oily skin, apply just after toner.

Here's some photo of the packaging. ☟

Has SPF 25. ✔

Since it's bought directly from Korea, there is no English directions! It was all written on Korean language! ╯.╰

It comes in a tube packaging. I should say the packaging is really classy. It's not that girly, but it is something 20+ and 30+ would also use. I like the concept of the packaging because its drawn with a classy mirror which feels like it really is an essential part before anything else for the face. ✔

Here's the back of the tube. The expiry indicator or best before indicator is at the bottom as you can see the opened container illustration at the bottom of the tube. It says 12M which means you have 12months to use the product once opened. That's very nice indicator especially if someone doesn't wear makeups all the time.

Let's test it!

Here's my bare face without flash and without conditioning cream, indoor lighting.

Here's the product applied on my bare face.

Here's a photo of when the product is applied.

✦ Final thoughts on Etude House Face Conditioning Cream...

The Price:

The product doesn't cost that much. I had a 20ml tube for only P100 at their Korean website. At their physical store it's only P648 for a 75ml tube, not bad and a little goes a long way!

Consistency&Scent:

I love its consistency, it's not very sticky and hard to apply. It glides very smoothly on your face and it doesn't leave the face a white cast even though I have a fair skin. It also have a nice scent, not too strong, I find it's scent somewhere between mint and flowers.Also, it is quickly absorbed by the skin.

I can't say that it is good for troubled skin, but it does suit an oily skin as said on its description. It is a primer to make the other covers such as foundation, bb cream to be more adhesive to the skin for longer wear.

You will also have this dewy, luminous glow on your face like of those Korean stars after application. It is also good for your skin for its SPF25 since summer is on its way, you have to protect that skin from regional discolorations of your face. ✌

Etude House Eye's Cream in Mint Review

Hello lovely readers! I would like to share this review about Etude House Eye's Cream in Mint. It also comes in Vanilla version. I can't remember how much this cream cost but I believe it's around 500? I am terribly sorry because I bought this some time ago and I don't look at the price when I shop, I just place what I need in their tiny baskets. ;)

I tried this item for 9 months and so just to be sure how it will work for this review. Look at the package!

Etude House never fails us to give the cutest packaging they could ever produce! I haven't seen any ugly or unappealing packaging and designs for Etude. 

So it says in the box that it's SPF30 which I believe is great for the skin. ;)

Here's when you open the box! Soooo cute! I could've resisted buying this last time but because I had serious dark circles under my eyes which is very irritating to look at everytime I face the mirror, I also liked its packaging. There are lots of Korean texts written all over the packaging and I am sorry, I don't know understand a bit of what it says lol!

Here's an instruction on how to apply the creamstick. First, wipe on the eyelids, then on the side then lastly swipe another from the inner to the outer undereye. ;D



MY THOUGHTS ABOUT ETUDE HOUSE EYE'S CREAM MINT

I have been using this stick for over nine months twice a day. I guess it isn't bad because I want to achieve the desired effect; in the morning and before I sleep. The stick has this cooling effect for just a few seconds. You may want to lightly glide the stick on your skin because too much of the stick will create a white cast on your eyes, but if that happens, you can just wipe it off or simply blend it to your skin by patting it gently. Rubbing or putting too much pressure in this area of your face will cause you more wrinkles and lines so be sure to pat it really gently. =)

As for the result, well, I am really sorry for not having a before photo to prove the efficacy of the product but here are some pictures taken a few months ago while using the creamstick.

And here's how it looks like now.

 A closer look.

I can say that after a few months of use, it helps lessen the darkness under my eye. But the wrinkles are still there as well as the lines and they feel like multiplying! lol I feel like I'm in my 50's with the lines and wrinkles and the crowfeet!!! =( But thanks to Etude House for reducing the darkness, I won't feel like I haven't slept for long or looked like a zombie in my pictures!

This is a highly recommended product for girls who want to lessen their dark circles. A stick is good for a year probably. ;D

NYC Metro Quartet Eyeshadow

Hello makeup enthusiasts! As promised, I'm back with a new review, this time its a western makeup. As you may know I am a huge fan of Asian cosmetics mostly korean. For a change, I tried this quad from NYC. It's NYC Metro Quartet Eyeshadow Fall Makeover. As you can see, it's all warm or nude. I like warm and nude colors something that is not awkward to look at and something for everyday wear only. Something that is light and useful in morning as well as to evening makeup. Let's see how the colors look like.

There are four colors that is specifically labeled on where to use it.

1. Peachy sheer color for the overall lid color, more like of a base.
2. Matte dark brown for contour
3. Pearl shimmer for highlight and
4. Shimmery chocolate brown for the crease

It also comes with a sponge applicator.

Here's the sample smudge of the quad eyeshadow over Etude House Sweet Recipe Choux Base in Berry on skin.

Colors in close shot.

My thoughts on NYC Metro Quartet Fall Makeover Eyeshadow...

This palette would be best for women who like nude colors, fall colors. With this type of colors you can alter your morning make up to night make up. I will show future tutorial and look with easy colors and makeups. The pearl shimmer and peachy color would go best on a morning makeup to make you bright looking. I believe nude colors suit any tone may it be olives warm or cool. ;)

It's also cheap around $3 on amazon.

****start ranting here****

Our Story

OUR STORY: We were classmates back in college. He was a transferee while I was a regular student when we were in 3rd yr. On his first months, a lot of people are already talking about him, he's like everyone's favorite, maybe because he's new and my classmates are tired of each other. haha I didn't noticed him during his 1-3 months on the class though he's a regular at my section too because I am busy that time, i don't know where im busy at until one of my friends talked about him that he smokes and the like. I smoke too at that time so from then I started to hangout with him too, give him packs of smokes after classes. At that time, I have a boyfriend, I remember introducing him to to my exbf now and when they try to shake hands, my bf now turned away. haha 
I only remember the first day we dated, he asked me or i don't know maybe he sent a group message to all girls on his phone asking to watch movie with him and since I don't want to go home that early and I don't have anything to do, I joined him to watch Resident Evil. I thought it was a friendly date but after the movie he wanted me all along. haha And then began this texting drama things that he told me who will I choose, over them; after some few days, I got an answer that I should pick him-my bf now. So I broke up with my bf at that time; the ex bf now. After that we started to watch movies every now and then, eat together at the mall like there's no tomorrow. My mom noticed that I ate too much. She said I learned how to get hungry in five minutes though I've eaten a bunch of unli rice through my bf haha! 
Then all goes smoothly until the she started talking with her previous girls. And, we girls, don't like it whether its just a chitchat or how things are going, it doesn't seem nice for me that time so I tried backing off a little got jealous and drank heavily! That's how I express how sad am I, instead of whining, I just drink all the negativity and sleep when i pass out. haha Everytime he do that, I drink with my friends till morning, go to school drank but i still got a hold of my self but not my gait and eyes. haha From that I got so immuned that I just drink my sober heart till I fall asleep with friends. 
We've gone through so many breakups haha, because its always wasnt my fault, sometimes somethings gotten into him that he gets jealous my friends (all of my friends are mostly boys, if there are girls proally you can count them on your fingers) that's our roller coaster relationship.
I can't remember but when we were talking about the first time we dated, we started talking and eating and laughing he told me that he liked me first. haha that was the time that I introduced him to my boyfriend (now the exbf) and he turned away. He told me that he was following me all along and making me notice him at whatever he is doing. haha attention whore! I didn't noticed that he wanted my attention because I was busy on something else and I really didn't mind about him, I just felt like he was just a friend before. It's crazy how we ended up on each other. I dont know but maybe he's the one? Because I remember when i was in elementary I have dreamed of a man that I should marry who's much older than like 7-10 years older, who has something in life, focusing on his career, proally a doctor with his car. And my bf now is similar to that he's much older like 4-5 years older, in the medical field with his car. ;) And I really felt the connection, whenever we broke up, there are still things that is holding us back. I mean, if he wasnt for me, if he's like the other exes, I could've forgotten about him. And until now, were still together, and maybe this is forever. 

****end ranting here****
