ETUDE HOUSE EYESHADOWS(BE102,BR403,BE105,OR210,BR401,BR402)

What I strongly love about Korean makeup brands is that they do lots lots lots of sales! Usually every brand has a membership sale day every month and they also do random sale promotions depending on the season or the trends in between the monthly sales. For example, almost every brand is doing the "sunscreen 1+1" at the moment as the summer is coming up.
A few days ago, Etude House had this promotion where you could get one eyeshadow and get one more for free and I ended up getting 6!! Even though I don't like skin care products from Etude House(I prefer Innisfree), I LOVE eye shadows and lipsticks from them because first, the price is amazing, second,the quality is amazing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*BE102: This is a matte cream color. I realized I did not have any white or cream color that I can put on my eyes as a base and a highlighter. It actually doesn't show the color on your eyelids but it does the job of brightening and priming.

*BR403: This matte caramel shadow(and it's name is Caramel Latte haha) would be perfect as a transition color. Especially because I'm a monolid girl, it's always important to have matte brown eye shadows to make fake creases and build the "my eyes are deep like the ocean" effect.

*BE105: My favorite color! this is a shimmery beige color with a teeny tiny bit of pink tone in it. I think it's just a perfect everyday eyeshadow. You can wear it alone, which will give you a gorgeous and elegant depth and you can use it with darker colors for more dramatic looks. I just LOVE this color so much.

*OR210: Please let's take a moment and appreciate how beautiful this color is! I thought it was a burgandish pink color when I saw the picture of it on the website but it's actually more like orange(as you can tell from the shade number) but still definitely can see pink with gold shimmers. Ugh hard to describe this color. You just have to see this babe in person!

*BR401: This color is maybe not that special because it's a very common brown shimmer shadow that everyone's dogs and cats have in their makeup bag. It didn't amaze be to be honest but I bought it because it is one of the best sellers at Etude House and you know... it's like "oh... is it a best seller? then it must be amazing. I have to have it if everybody has it" haha. When I swatched it on the back of my hand at the store, I thought it would be one of the everyday go-to shadows that you can grab and apply without thinking too much and yes, it really is. But one thing you need to know is that when you put it on your eyelids, the color is more like gold rather than brown. It has a very strong yellow tone, so if you have a cool/pink toned skin, you wouldn't probably enjoy this color.

*BR402: It's a coppery dark brown color with gold shimmers. I like it but I realized I have to be very careful because it's a ted bit reddish and those reddish eyeshadows can make monolid eyes look even more smaller!

And here are the swatches! All of them are highly pigmented but you would want to use an eye primer for shimmery colors to prevent fall outs. It's not that bad you don't have to worry about it that much and let's be quite honest, they are like 3 bucks! A little bit of fall outs should be considered okay for 3 bucks.

Ugh I didn't know revewing beauty products would be this hard. Taking photos, editing, describing the colors and blah blah. I definitely need to learn more about photographs and Photoshop, and improve my poor English! Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed my review!

REVIEW| WET N WILD MEGALAST NAIL COLOR UNDERCOVER

I am a true manicure lover! I love and enjoy coloring my nails with the bestest concentration of my soul and staring at my hands all day long. I have never been to nail shops to get my nails done by professionals though since I personally think it's a waste of money. I want to try it at least once in my life but I just know I am going to be addicted and make the nail shop as my home away home...(I can already hear the sound of footsteps of my money leaving my wallet)

When I stayed in the States, I was truly pleased to see the price tags of Essie nail polishes. They were "only" 7~8 dollars while the exact same products are sold at 12 dollars in Korea. But I didn't really buy many  nail polishes back then because I wanted to save money as a poor exchange student. 

In summer of 2014, I decided to go on a short trip to the west coast. The first thing I did after the decision was making a shopping list! How girly am I. I made a really long drug store shopping list and Wet n Wild's Megalast nail polishes were confidently on it thanks to the recommendation from one of my favorite Youtubers; Leighannsays.

I picked the color Undercover. And yes, I bought only one nail polish surprisingly. I spent more money than I planned on other things like food or transportation as I was traveling(which happens every time I travel. Hopefully I'm not the only one) so I had to cut down my asset for shopping :( 

Anyways, I know some might call it granny color. But who cares!? I love me some toned-down brownish pink nail polishes. I think they are great for everyday whether it's summer or winter and they make your hands look a bit more mature and feminine. More importantly this color looks lovely on my skin tone, doesn't it??

The brush is wider than many other polishes, which makes it easier to paint your nails. I am pretty impressed by the quality as well. It lasts long enough without top coat! The best thing about this polish is definitely the price. I remember it was not even 2 dollars. Ugh why can't Korea have these amazing little babies??

I absolutely love this nail polish not only because it's great in every way but also because it makes me smile reminding me of all the memories I had in California :)
