♡ Korean Makeup Haul ♡

Hi guys! My mom just recently got back from Seoul and before she went there she asked me what i want and the first thing that came out of my mouth was: MAKE-UP. My favourite Korean make-up brand is Etude House and Seoul is just like the heaven of Etude House products and my mom even told me that every whee she turn it's always Etude House lol. And also, the price comparison between in Seoul and Jakarta is quite different, because of the tax and shipping fees and all, it's way much more expensive here and my mom even told me that the stuffs there were half the retail price they sell here! So my mom took advantage of her business trip there and bought me a lot of make-up and I was just super duper excited when i got it because all of the products that i've been wanting are finally in my hands now and i'm super thankful that my mother spared her time to but me the make-up that I wanted. So thank you Mom.

Oh and one last thing, I am so so so soooo sorry that i did not write down all the names of the products because the name of the products were mostly in Korean and i can read Korean but not at a point where I can understand every single sentence written on the box......But maybe i'll be doing a product review on the one's that i really like :) So stay tune and comment below on which one is your favourite or also comment on what's your favourite Etude House product!

DISCLAIMER: In no any point of way that i am bragging about the stuffs that I have just received from my mom. As written on the title, it's a haul so this is meant to showcase each individual products on the picture above and if you don't like these type of posts please do not read it and read my other posts instead :D but anyways, enjoy!

- Face Products -

Mint Eye Cream

To treat those panda eyes due to lack of sleeping. This eye cream is the perfect cure for those of you who have under eye circles! I usually use this at morning to freshen up my face and I like the cold minty sensation that kinda makes me more wide awake in the morning and the packaging of it is just super adorable!

Goodbye Pore Ever!

To minimise pores & acts as a really good make-up base. This product is literally the saviour to my pore problems! It minimises my pores and it makes my skin much more smoother around the pore areas.

Minnie Touch Highlighter & Blush

For a rosy cheek & to define those cheekbones, these two products are the perfect match! First, can we just have a moment of silence to admire the adorable packaging?? I haven't exactly tried these yet but i've tested a couple of swatches and it looked good! 

- Eye Products -

Drawing Eye Brow

I've been obsessed filling my brows and i've been on the hunt for finding a decent brow pencil that has a similar dark brown colour to my brows. And when i tried this out it looked really nice and i've been wearing this every single day since i got it, and at the end it has a spoolie brush to blend it.

Dr. Mascara Fixer

I really hate it when I have clumpy eyelashes due to me overusing my mascara. But since i've had this product, it works like a miracle! It separates and fixes clumped eyelashes and I usually use it when I feel like my mascara is ruining my eyelashes. 

Eye Shadow Cream & Eye Shadow

The light gold bronze eyeshadow is a cream eyeshadow. It's good for those days when i'm lazy but I want to look put together and it makes my eyes shine brighter. The purple eyeshadow is a gorgeous spring colour and it is super cute for the inner corners of the eyes.

Sweet Recipe Eye Shadow

This super adorable eye shadow duo is so pretty as i love the sparkly colour of it, t's perfect for those special nights that we want out eyes to stand out. I also love how Etude House is super innovative in packaging their products.

Big Eye Line Cream 

As I have mentioned before in my previous post, I have uneven eyelids, it's not really noticeable from afar but when people are talking to me closely, it definitely shows. So i think i'm gonna be trying this in the nearest future to see how it works and to even out my eyelids.

- Lip Products -

 Dear My Blooming Lips Talk Lipstick

It doesn't show the shade in this picture so sorry!). But it's this pretty dark raspberry colour that I absolutely love because it's not too overwhelming to wear it in the day and it's also perfect for at night. It's definitely a versatile product.

 Dear Girls Lip Balm & Lip Tint

OMG by far this is my favourite product ever! It's super functional as it has a lip balm at one side and a lip tint at the other side. It gives the lips a effortless red colour that makes our lips super kissable and the lip balm makes our lips stay dehydrated. 

 Color Lips-fit

I haven't tried out this product yet but i've tried it before and it is a very gorgeous shocking pink finish and it evens out our lips as it has a great coverage. I also love how gorgeous the packaging is and the colour is just simply fabulous.

Lip Balm

This lip balm has literally been my lip saviour as it moisturises my lips and idk why every time i apply it, my lips looks much more warmer and it gives a really delicate pinky effect to the lips, so it's super good for those days i'm not feeling of wearing a lipstick.

- Nail Polishes, Brush Spray & Hand Lotion -

 Puff & Brush Cleaner 

I was so thrilled when I got this because i use my brushes on  a daily bases and it has been so dirty i can't even look at it but this product saved my day! 

Nail Polishes & Nail Glitter 

Other than makeup, my mom also bought me some nail polishes and a nail glitter from the Minnie mouse collection! It is literally Etude House's forte when it comes to glitter nail polishes! It's absolutely amazing and it lasts a decent amount of time.

 Oh Happy Day Hand Lotion

This mini hand lotion smells like a bath filled with roses! It smells so wonderful and it makes my hands real soft and the size is absolutely perfect to put it in my backpack pocket.

Thankyou guys so much for reading my post and my biggest apology if there were a lot of product names i messed up and i'm sorry if the mini product review seemed too shallow for a in depth look for each product!

But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed it and have a good day :)

My Everyday Make-up Essentials

For today's post i'm gonna give you guys a in-depth look at what products i use on a daily faces! ranging from face products to lip products and many more! My daily make-up routine always change every now and then but this is the set of make-up that i find curling my hands on to every morning and i hope you guys will enjoy this post! Also leave comments if you would like to share your fave make-up in the comment section!

For the Skin

For my skin, i use the Precious Mineral BB Cream by Etude House to even out my skin and i also find this product as a good light concealer to cover redness and imperfections. I also tend to use a night eye cream from The Body Shop that i use both at day and night because i have terrible panda eyes! and then i pat my face with a powder from Bjouris to set my make-up and i also use concealer afterwards, the one on the pic is also from Bjouris and it is The Healthy Mix Concealer, but the concealer i often use is the one from Coverderm that i forgot to include this in the pic, deepest apology!

For the Eyes

As for the eyes, because most of the days of the week i'm at campus, i don't wanna wear heave eye make-up but there are days where i feel i want to add a little bit of colour to my eyes, especially highlighting the inner corner of my eyes to make them seem much more awake and brighter, i use my gorgeous eye palette from Boots and most of the colours in it are sparkly light colours so it is very wearable on a casual day and can also be used for dressier occasions and if i'm feeling extra lazy on that day i'll just apply a warm brown eyeshadow from Tonymoly that is perfect to cover your veins, but before i apply my eyeshadow, i make sure i apply my eye primer that i absolutely love from Etude House, which i'm also obsessed with the shape of the bottle, and then if i'm in the mood of wearing a mascara, i use the Covergirl mascara in the shade brown, which i often find myself using black mascara all the time but when i first tried this out it looked amazing!

For the Brows

To me, brows is one of the main key points of your face, which can either make or break your whole look, i mean, the way we shape our brows can transform our face! I'm a bog fan of straight brows as it really softens your look and i like wearing brow liner in a dark brown shade or a light brown as well when i feel like i want to complement my bold make-up on my face. I first use a brow liner from Etude House to shape my brows on how i want them to be, and then i start filling them with a brow palette from Etude House and it has two options, a light brown or a dark brown and i also like to highlight my brow bone with a highlighter that also comes along in this palette to highlight my brows, and then comb them with a spooley brush to even out the colour of the product with the original colours with my brow, and if i want to have a much more bolder look, i like to make the tip of my brows into a square shape at the ones that are in between my eyes and using either a brow pencil or from the eyeshadow palette with a pointed brush.

For the Lips

As for the lips, i love combining either a lip cream with a pencil liner or i also spice things up using a bold lipstick colour and soften the edges with a nude pencil liner, the one that i'm currently using is the Revlon's lip butter in the shade Plum which is this gorgeous rich warm purple colour that actually looks so good when you wear it and a nude lip liner from Etude House that i absolutely love and it is one of my must-have products whenever i step outside of my house.

So there you have it guys! Hope you enjoyed it! :)
