[ETUDE HOUSE] BeBe gentle cream

Actually, I wanted to write a review about the [Holika Holika] Egg Soap (white) I got over a year ago and which is very popular. But after I opened the container today I saw that the white egg became yellowish and feels oily somehow. I guess it's a bit too old already, therefore I don't think I will further use it.
Nevertheless, I used one of these eggs when I got them 2011 and I still remember that the white egg soap made my skin super sleek and pores became smaller after washing my face, but it also felt a bit dry. I was thinking about ordering the black (charcoal) egg soap or the ones from [TONYMOLY]  but since I own too many other cleansing foams I didn't do it till now.

Another product I got not long ago is the BeBe gentle cream from [ETUDE HOUSE] which I use always after taking shower. You can also get a foot mask and a elbow mask from this line!

Description: A gently body massage cream supplies moisturising, elasticity and soothing care with natural ingredients.
The gentle cream comes in a large, flat tube, contains 150ml and has a flip-top lid. The pastel green tube with the cute prints on it looks very nice! The description on the back is in Korean and English!
The active main ingredients are Microemulsion A, Salicylic Acid, Urea and Shea Butter. Some other ingredients are Oatmeal, Lily Extract and Cactus Flower Extract!
The consitency of the BeBe gentle cream is non-greasy and slightly thicker than a body lotion. It reminds me rather of a body milk or sunscreen milk. 
This cream might also be great for people who doesn't like strong perfumed products coz the scent is super soft.
Since the cream has a slight sticky texture you have to massage and pat it into your skin for better absorbtion. I apply it after taking shower, concentrating on dry body areas, and I love the smooth feeling afterwards.
I would like to try out the BeBe foot mask as well but I'll get a similar product from [TONYMOLY] first!
How to use: Apply cream to any part of body by massaging into skin. 

Price: around 13,- €/ US$16
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)     

What I love: 
The cute design, soft scent and smooth feeling it leaves on my skin! 

What I don’t like: 
Nothing yet! 

Will I buy this again? I don't think so! It's a bit pricey and I think I will get another body lotion instead. But would like to get the BeBe foot mask, though!

[ETUDE HOUSE] milk talk Body Wash *Banana, Choco & Steam Milk*

When I was reading another blog I saw a pic of a body wash from [ETUDE HOUSE]. It seemed to be new and I immedtiately felt in love with that. I'm talking about the new milk talk Body Wash! You can get it in 5 delicious flavours! I got my favorites Steam Milk, Banana and Choco. The others are Apple and Strawberry.
Of the shower sponges I purchased Banana and Choco since Steam Milk was always sold out.

Description: Moisturizing body wash supplies rich foam, texture and fragrant scent for soft, cleansed skin. Milk extract makes moist body and sweet scent makes feeling better.
First, I was a bit dissapointed when I got the body washes coz they are so small. Nevertheless, each bottle contains 200ml and now I find them kinda cute, too.
Each of the milk talk Body Wash comes in a round bottle which feels somehow like a rubber bottle but is probably made of soft plastic. The flip-top lid is white plastic.

Steam Milk:
The bottle of the Steam Milk Body Wash is white with a light blue print.
The consistency is not too thick, just like many shower creams/ gels are. It looks whitish and has the soft scent of milk and baby powder.

Choco Milk:
Choco Milk comes in a light brown bottle with a chocolate bar print. 
It has the same consistency as Steam Milk but the color is brownish, plus the scent of chocolate milk. So yummy!!

Banana Milk:
My 3rd favorite flavour got a yellow bottle with a banana print. Of course, it also has a great scent - the scent of a banana milk shake.
It has the same consistency as the other two again but a yellowish color.

The Choco shower sponge is still on the way to me, so I can show you just the Banana one:
Each sponge is individually packed in a plastic bag.
This shower sponge is yellow and got a small banana on top. The choco sponge is brown with a chocolate bar on top.
You can attach the sponges on top of the body wash bottles what is a cute idea.

How to use: Dispense product on wet bath sponge/puff and lather. Use sponge/puff to massage and lather body. Rinse with water. 
It can be used as bubble bath also (15ml).

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13 (Body Wash); around 4,- €/ US$5 (Shower Sponge)
Bought at: eBay (cosmetic.love & superoutlet-2009)  
 
What I love: 
Everything: the small design, the sponge and of course the flavours.
 
What I don’t like:  
There is nothing I dislike!!

Will I buy this again? I would! Still think about getting Strawberry Milk.

[ETUDE HOUSE] PETIT BIJOU Cotton Snow *SOFT BODY SET & EAU DE TOILETTE*

I always love to use a nice shower gel and so I came to PETIT BIJOU Cotton Snow from [ETUDE HOUSE]. It says "Smell like a Baby"! 
I was curious about that and that's why I purchased it. At first I got the TRAVEL KIT and then the SOFT BODY SET which contains the full size of the BODY WASH and BODY LOTION plus, a smaller size of the CARE CREAM.
In addition I purchased the 'Cotton Snow' Perfume!

The products are free of Sulfates, Paraben, Soap, Color and Alcohol (except the EAU DE TOILETTE).
 
The SOFT BODY SET comes in a big box which is white and light blue with a cute design.
Inside the box are the products:

SOFT BODY WASH:
Description: This delicate body cleanser is formulated with Milk Protein, Ivy extract and the Petit Bijou fragrance to soften and relieve stressed skin.

The Body Wash comes in a 300ml bottle and is white with a blue pump. 
It has the same design as the box!
It's a liquid soap which is a bit whitish and smells great!!

MOISTURE BODY LOTION:
Description: This delicate body lotion is formulated with milk protein, ivy extract and the Petit Bijou fragrance to soften and relieve stressed skin.

The Body Lotion comes in the same bottle as the Body Wash just with a white pump.
The Lotion is white and absorbs quite fast on my skin. It has the same fragrance as the other 'Cotton Snow' products: A soft baby powder!!

INTENSIVE CARE CREAM:
Description: This delicate body cream is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid Sodium, milk protein, chamomile and the Petit Bijou fragrance to soften and relieve stressed skin.

The INTENSIVE CARE CREAM comes in a small white tube and contains 50ml. 
The design is the same again.
The consistency is a little bit thicker than from the Body Lotion but absorbs fast as well. This cream is good for using on very dry parts like knees, elbows etc.

EAU DE TOILETTE:
The Perfume comes in a small box with the same design as the 'SOFT BODY SET'. 
The product itself is in a cute glass bottle with a silver pump. 30ml are inside!
The scent is called as 'Fresh Powdery' and is a bit stronger as from the Body Wash and Lotion. But I love it so much!
If you dislike those baby powder fragrances then you shouldn't get this one here, though.

Price: around 27,- €/ US$35 (SOFT BODY SET), around 18,- €/ US$22 (EAU DE TOILETTE)
Bought at: eBay (nature-republic, zinopark)  

What I love: 
Definitely the scent!! 

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I don't like.

Will I buy this again? I would!!! Not sure about all products but at least one of them.

[ETUDE HOUSE] recently released their newest Winter Collection, the Wannabe line. Btw, some of the products are Limited Editions. The illustrations feature Sandara Park (2NE1) as the Emma character by Annika Wester from Sweden.
This product line is divided in the following 3 themes:

PLAY

POP

I grapped 2 of the products and thinking about getting some more. I got the Style Making Kit and one of the Last Touch Lip Glosses which I will both review now.

Wannabe Style Making Kit:
Description: Multi-makeup palette supplies diverse colors and pearl infused looks for mixing & matching. Create individualized styles without hassle. This palette contains 8 eye shadows. 
2 lip & cheek creams, highlighter crea, 2 eyeliners, 2 concealers, and 4 applicators, so you can easily complete beautiful eye, lip, and cheek, makeup. 
The make-up palette was a spontaneous purchase coz I own already two big eyeshadow palettes which I seldom use. I bought it because it's a Limited Edition and I missed the 'Aloha - Tropical Eyes' palette already!
This palette comes in a nice packaging which looks pink on the front and black on the back. The complete collection comes with those cute illustrations. When you fold off the packaging in the front and you will get another illustration in dark pink. To get the palette out of the packaging you have to open the side, though.
The Style Making Kit is in a matt black plastic case with the same cute prints again.
The case has the size 11,5x6cm what is not very big. So you can carry it in your bag as well.
This palette consists of 2 levels and a mirror inside the lid.
At the first (upper) level you have 2 lip & cheek creams and 8 eyeshadows:
Cream Lip & Cheek: Orange-Red
Cream Lip & Cheek: Pink
Pearl Eyeshadow: Light Pink
Pearl Eyeshadow: Violet
Pearl Eyeshadow: Gold-Brown
Pearl Eyeshadow: Silver-White
Satin Eyeshadow: Grey-Brown
Satin Eyeshadow: Brown
Satin Eyeshadow: Grey
Satin Eyeshadow: Pink
On the 2nd level you get 1 highlighter, 2 concealer, 2 eyeliner and 4 sponge/ brush applicator.
Cream Highlighter: Pearl Gold
Melty Concealer: Beige
Melty Concealer: Violet
Cream Liner: Brown
Cream Liner: Black
From left to right: 
Satin Eyeshadows (Grey, Pink, Grey-Brown, Brown)

Pearl Eyeshadows (Light Pink, Violet, Silver-White, Gold-Brown)
From left to right:
Cream Liner (Black, Brown)
Melty Concealer (Violet, Beige)
Cream Highlighter (Pearl Gold)
Cream Lip & Cheek (Orange-Red, Pink) 

Price: around 23,- €/ US$30 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)  

What I love: 
The design and the eyeshadows.

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I don't like on this product. 

Will I buy this again? No! One time is enough I guess.

Wannabe Last Touch Lip Gloss & Freshener:
Description: Dual Gloss & Freshener supply sparkling color and romantic fragrance for enticing lips.

The Lip Gloss is available in 3 colors: Wanna Touch (Cream Beige), Wanna Love (Baby Pink) and Wanna Kiss (Coral). I decided this time to get the gloss in #2 Baby Pink.
The packaging is kept in white and pink colors with the same cute illustration as the 'Style Making Kit'. The Lip Gloss contains 5g and the Freshener 6ml. It's a 2-in-1 product!
The Lip Gloss #2 Wanna Love comes in a translucent bottle with some rose & bird prints on it. The color is a shimmering pink which doesn't have a strong coverage. I can barely see the color on my lips but it's shimmering. I like it coz it gives my lips that Nude-Look. 
The consistency is not sticky, too.
Like the 'Woo~ Baby Lip Plumper' this one here has a silicone tip/ applicator which is easy to use. The scent of it is ok - not too fruity or chemical-like.

On the other side you have the Freshener which comes in a translucent bottle as well. It has some butterfly prints on it and got a metal rollerball applicator. The product itself looks pinkish and the fragrance is called 'Floral Musk'. It smells kinda strong at the beginning but after a while it gets better. It's a nice floral scent!

How to use: Roll-on to back of neck, temples, wrists, chest or any other desired area.
DO NOT APPLY FRESHENER TO YOUR LIPS!!!

Price: around 13,- €/ US$16 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark) 

What I love:  
The color and the idea of making a 2-in-1 product. 

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I don't like even though I wished the freshener would be rather a mouth freshener than a perfume. 

Will I buy this again? Thinking about getting #1 Wanna Kiss (Coral).
