Reviews!! A few of you asked about the Etude House scrub, so I'm going to start this entry with it:
This is a light exfoliator. It has a cream like texture with tiny exfoliants (feels like fine sand mixed with cream) and an unusual but tolerable scent. It didn’t leave my skin feeling soft, smooth or moisturized afterwards.
In fact, I highly suspect that it doesn’t do a thing for me. Not recommended at all!
It did shed a bit when I washed it but every brush does that so I’m not too bothered by it. The bristles are made of out of a mix of goat hair and synthetic fibres.It’s soft and it works wonderfully with liquid foundation.
It’s really good and I’d totally recommend getting this brush =)
It is awfully prickly when I use it to stipple my liquid foundation and the worse part is it STILL bleeds dye when I wash it even after 3+ months. This is the most horrible brush ever! Thank goodness I got it for 40% off -.-
This super thick white creamy whitening and revitalizing wash off mask has a pleasant floral scent.
It starts to bubble at the one minute mark. I usually leave it on for 5 minutes instead of the recommended 2 -3 minutes ;D Using a brush to apply this mask would be your best option because you want an even layer.
I like the temporary whitening effect that it leaves me, but that is all to the mask. There isn't any long term improvements.
It works really nicely, even on my long wearing, waterproof gel liners :) I do follow up with my cleansing oil though.
It doesn’t leave my eye area oily, it has a pleasant scent and even its pink appearance is adorable. Idk if I would repurchase… I want to try removers from other cheapie Korean brands :)
PK007 is a creamy and opaque pale milky pink, with no shimmer. It smells delicious, just like peach candy!, and most importantly it feels comfortable to wear.
I’m getting OR205 when this range goes on another 50% sale puahaha~
I’m also reviewing a Givenchy lipstick that I bought a while ago ^^
The packaging is really fun and luxurious~
This lipstick is buttery soft and moisturizing with a gloss like shimmery finish.

Shimmery goodness~

Isn’t it glossy and juicy? And look at the light reflecting shine!
It has a sheer and natural beige tone. Unless your lips aren’t pigmented, I would use a lip concealer as it only gives your lips a hint of colour.
Do try out this range if you like using lipglosses but abhor the stickiness aspect =D

Hi Blair! what kind of brand is the makeup remover?? I'm in the market for a new waterproof mascara makeup remover but don't want to spend $$$ haha
The Givenchy lippie does look quite luxurious! The swatches look great and it looks like it's oozing moisture :)
I've been wanting to try some Etude House products.
I love the packaging on them.
And from what I've heard they're pretty decent in comparison to products in the states that I've tried.
I'd really like to try there lipsticks,
And that Mascara remover.
Do they have a website??
And if so do you know if they ship to the states??

Hi Blair!
Thanks for all the great reviews and product pictures. Thanks for the heads up about the EH Rice Peeling Pack, too bad it such a bad product. I love dual fiber/stippling brushes! Amy liked the O2 Whitening Mask as well.
All the lipsticks you bought are so pretty! Thanks for swatching. The Givenchy lipstick has such lux. packaging!
urgh, i hate it when that happens! Thanks for the heads up about tht etude scrub.
OMYGOD I WANT THAT DUO FIBRE brush. i can't bring myself to fork over £30 for the MAC one. and this one is...£8.
Lovely lip swatches too
ohh. i love the 2 lippies you bought! But what caught my attention was the vip darling liipie! you should post an fotd wearing the vip. :)
ha i've never tried etude house skincare. don't really trust korean brands that much but the lip stick looks so cute and of course givenchy looks great too
i really like how you set up your photos!! makes the product seems so elegant even though it's not a good product :p and the O2 mask definitely sounds like it's something I would like ^____^ thanks for the review!!
Mmmm.. The O2 White Mask sounds good!! Think I'll pick it up in my next Etude House purchase. ^-^

o2white mask done wonders on my skin, is really nice!
Nice EH reviews!! I just realised tt quite a bit of my daily skincare is not EH.. hahaha Cleanser, toner, serum and sleeping mask.. quite rare for me to be so loyal... I love the duo fibre brush too! Use it to apply all my BBs and LFs..
Oh btw.. Metro sale time!! This Sat evening only.. Let me know if you want anything.. lol.. they have givenchy on direct 20% discount =P
Ooh, thanks for all the reviews! I so want that Etude House brush - so cute!
I love the VIP girl lipstick, it's sooo cute. Haha, great review!
Thanks for the reviews! the VIP lipstick sounds nice and the Giveonchy lipstick is so pretty!!
Sure i'll do! I hope i can review it soon cause i want a quick result :D
this makes me want to try out some givenchy lipsticks! ( : love the shade you got!
The Etude House lipstick is gorgeous. I say we need to see a swatch on your lips... hehe~ Are you going to show it on your lips eh? :D
The Lancome Cell Defense is suppose to improve your skin but it did nothing to mine... lol~
Hey, thanks for the review....so want to try those lippies...
I really like Givenchy lipstick packaging too! :D The little "tail" at the end to pull the lipstick out with is just too cute. :P
awww blair seriously i want all ur haul!!
btw have u got my package?:)
The Givenchy lipstick is really pretty. Does the fragrance strong and would it looks very shiny on lips??
I'm loving the mascara remover. Cute packaging. I'm a sucker for cute packaging :D
I'd like to try the scrub but guess what, not sold in france :/
pretty! i really love the VIP Girl Dear Darling lipstick?? (woah, long name lol)
where do you purchase all these asian brand cosmetics/skincare?
*hands up for lipgloss look minus the stickiness* I might haven't tried enough korean brand to say this but I think for lip products I prefer japanese brand or the upscale western brand for the moisturizing effect. I'm sure korean brands have some with good moisture but what I tried so far (Clio,TFC,etude,misha) I'm not too fond of :p
Hey there, your blog is so pretty, i love all your cute things xoxNat~
Oooo the cheek brush looks really good! The packaging on Etude products are always really nice! I am going to sound like a broken record but I seriously wish I have access to Japanese and Korean cosmetic brands here in Melbourne. It's driving me nuts that I have to pay so much to get some asian cosmetics shipped over here! Grrr!
I love that your photos are always so nice! Like the pearls in them and such!
Loveeee the VIP lipstick colour and the Givenchy one!! Nice picks you got for the shades. :D I love Givenchy's perfumes too, they smell nice!!
Beautiful review! I was thinking about getting that exfoliator, but since it didn't do much for you, I guess I can steer away from it. I've been eyeing that 02 White Mask for quite some time. Thanks for reviewing that as well dear. That VIP lipstick looks uber pretty<3
Anais! Etude House has super cute packaging. Sucks me in everytime haha XD
i want everything. the VIP girl is so pretty.
xx,

Hi blair sweetie, i would love to try some of ur recommended Pdts like the lippies and cellnique serum u wrote abt once I get back into the groove of skincare :) miss u too!
hey I have the O2 whitening mask! I've only used it twice so far though. but now that you say it does brighten your complexion... hey I wonder if it will brighten my arm, my arms are always darker than the rest of my body!
hi blair! amazing reviews! i am loving the etude lipstick, the color is so pretty :)
Blair! I'm a little sad that I haven't been receiving your blog updates :( I've missed out on so much! I hope you're doing well.. glad to see you're still indulging yourself with pretty products =)
Wow thanks for the review, I'd be sure to run away if I see the scrub so that's out of my list. I'm really loving the Givenchy lippie, those are my kind of colors , peach brown looking color. ^_^
Aw no no there is nothing wrong with your blog- I've had the problem of several people telling me that my blog posts are not updated on their dashboard.. I'm pretty sure it's blogger's problem because later on a few of the girls tell me that it works again. I double checked my dashboard just now and your post is not in there :( maybe I'm checking at the wrong times?! It's okay though, I'll manually check hehe. And okay, I'll work on FOTDs soon! :)
cool i like...mascara removers/makeup removers i dont buy becuz oil is works just as well. :)
I've loved Givenchy lipsticks for years now, but they do tend to discontinue their colours quite often in HK, which is a pain.
