Glow by Lady E

This is also part of my Etude haul. My hair is dull and dry and I’m still having problems with split ends. I looked around Etude House and found this product. I checked out their hair care line because I was really impressed with the Bubble Hair Color. I apply this serum every night, after I take a bath. I divide my hair into two sections and apply 1-2 squeezes of the serum on each side. I’ve been using this for about 3 weeks now and I really did see results. There were less split ends and even less hair fall! I was only hoping to get rid of the split ends. Solving the hair fall problem was an added bonus. My hair is soft in the morning even after I just used shampoo the night before. My hair is even softer and silkier after I use a conditioner. It’s very easy to comb. Just the other night, I noticed that if I apply 2 squeezes, I end up with itchy spots on my neck and the sides of my face. I thought this was due to the Bench Shampoo for colored hair so I stopped using that. Turns...

I got this pencil with my first Etude House haul for 2012. I am used to powder eyeshadows to fix my brows. The thing is, it’s hard to use powder to fix my mom’s brows. She has very little hair that serves as her brows. They’re almost non-existent. I decided to look for a pencil to see if this will be better than the powder. I learned this trick from one of my mentors. I’ve read several blogs claiming that Etude House has great eyebrow pencils. I asked the SA for a recommendation and she handed me this. I asked for a shade that is similar to my hair color. She said that this is the one that she’s using. She has colored hair too. Pencil on one end, brush on the other Soft brush This is number one. This is the lightest shade. I’ve only used this a few times and it didn’t disappoint. I haven’t tried using this to draw mom’s eyebrows but I’m pretty sure it will give good results. The first time I used this was with the BB Cream that I got as a GWP. We went to UP Vet Med to bring ...

I bought this Hand Mask set from Etude House last year. (Yes, I know, I have a lot of products that need some love!) The instructions are fairly simple. You just wear the gloves! Since the instructions are Korean, I just freestyled. I initially wanted to let this sit for 30 minutes but on my 25th minute, my hands started to itch so I removed the gloves immediately. I didn’t wash my hands because that defeats the whole purpose. I just rubbed them together and made sure that the product is evenly distributed. The itchiness disappeared after a few minutes. This guide shows the different pressure points on your hand that you need to press in order to stimulate the different parts of the body. I actually did this. This product was okay for a few minutes. I felt my hands soften a little bit. But something came up and I needed to wash my hands so I guess I’ll never know the full results come morning. I’m sorry I can’t remember the price.  I have another set in pink and I pr...

Here is another EOTD that I made based on a photo that I was inspired with: Here’s the photo: Taken from the internet The colors that I used are: Deep End – UD 15th Anniversary Palette radium – UD Book of Shadows III Evidence – UD Book of Shadows III Blue and red in LA Abstract Palette The falsies that I used are the ones I bought from Saizen. I have another inspiration EOTD in my head. I just hope I can find the time to make it. Vacation’s over for me.

Here’s another NOTD that I did using the Wannabe Style Nails set from Etude House. Here are the stickers: They’re the same stickers from the other set. I just love that detail! I recently bought 2 nail art sets which I will show you in a different post. I never thought the day would come when I would get addicted to nail art. I guess that’s what vacations do to me.

I got this Precious Mineral BB Cream as part of a set that was a GWP from Etude House. I’m not a huge fan of BB Creams. The only BB Cream that I use is Bobbi Brown’s. I initially wanted to use this as a travel makeup but I was worried that my acidic skin might not like it. I was right. A few minutes after application, I noticed that my face started getting dark. I used this when we went to UP to bring my cat, Sapphire, to the vet. It does give me a bit of a glow but as the day progressed, I could really see that my face darkened. MB said it was fine. But as my mentor said, only makeup artists and people who have an eye for makeup will notice if a person has acidic skin. The people at Rustan’s immediately know if I’m using a new foundation because they can see the change in my skin. They know my shade too well. What’s great about this product is it didn’t give me any allergies. My face didn’t itch nor did it break out into zits. So that’s good. I feel fortunate to be able to ...
