[ETUDE HOUSE] Princess Etoinette Winter Collection *Eau de Toilette & Crystal Shine Lips*

After [ETUDE HOUSE]'s very popular Princess Etoinette make-up line they released some new products as Winter 2013 Collection a few months ago. To be honest, I got nothing from the first release even though I found the Heart Blushers very cute... But this time I made sure to grab one of the lipsticks and the fragrance.

The new line consists of the following products:
- Eau de Toilette
- Lipsticks 
- Perfumed Hair Mist
- Hand Creams
- All-Over Powder
- Mirror

Description: All your romantic princess dreams will come true. Girls, be the Princess!

Eau de Toilette:

Description: In Versailles Garden, one peony blossomed at the end of a 60cm long stem just once a year, and Princess Etoinette was fond of this precious flower for its especially elegant scent.

The packages of the new Princess Etoinette Winter 2013 Collection are kept in white, light pink and silver what I really like. You can find the Korean and English description on it.

The fragrance itself comes inside a white and silver bottle with a cute pump and white lace on top. The design was the main reason why I got this Eau de Toilette!

 The scent is hard to describe and I was worried at first that I wouldn't like it because I had no idea how a peony smells like. I was always thinking about a rose and I'm not the biggest rose-scent lover. Anyway, the official site says it has Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Raspberry, Peony, Rose, Jasmine, Sandal Wood and Musk in it.

Surprisingly I like this fragrance a lot!! The floral scent dominates but it's not too overpowering. I use two pumps and that last for many hours.

Crystal Shine Lips:

Description: This perfumed smooth lipstick delivers a surge of moisture and a soft shimmering flush, giving your lips a gorgous look.
The new lipsticks have a white & silver case and comes in three (3) different colors. I got PBE102 (Moon flower under the stars) because I don't really like bold pink or red colors.

Each Crystal Shine Lipstick contains Murmur Butter and Royal Jelly Extracts from France. They are rose-scented and have an imprint.

PBE102 (Moon flower under the stars) is a pinky beige with shimmering pink purple pearls. I often wear this color for work!

Price: Between 10,- € and 16,- €/ US$12-20

Bought at: eBay (f2plus1) 

What I love: 

The design and the scents! I don't really like rose-scents but these are nice.... 

What I don’t like: 

Nothing atm! 

Will I buy this again? No, but I'm still thinking about getting the Heart Blusher from the first release.

[Holika Holika] Holi Holi Magic Drop *Make me Pure*

I belong to those womans who never owns tons of different fragrances. I use perfume when I leave the house and I usually just have 2~4 flacons at home. 
Currently I use MARIAH CAREY's Lollipop Bling 'Mine Again', Gwen Stefani's HARAJUKU LOVERS 'G', EXPAND's Magic to Love 'Sakuraberry' and ETUDE HOUSE's PETIT BIJOU 'Cotton Snow'.
I love sweet scents from coconut, vanilla, musk, raspberry etc. I've never been a fan of strong floral fragrances!  

Since I started with Korean cosmetic I also got some products which come with a baby powder scent and I immediately felt in love with this kind of fragrance.
It's always hard to order perfume online when you never had the chance to smell it before. Nevertheless, when I saw at eBay that [Holika Holika] released a perfume line, named Holi Holi Magic Drop, which consists of three (3) different kinds of fragrance I had to get the Eau de toilette Make me Pure.
The other two (2) available fragrances are Make me Sweet (Fruity) and Make me Lovely (Floral).

Each Eau de toilette comes in a different color. The 'Make me Pure' one is violet while the outer packaging is metallic violet. The description is in Korean and English on the box. 

Inside is the glass flacon which contains 50ml.

The spray flacon looks very cute with its shape and mix of violet, gold and clear colors. The glass flacon changes more to matte milky glass at the bottom.

Description: Elegance sandlewood, vanilla fragrance wafts through the air with a delicate mild white musk fragrance.
This pure white woody musk fragrance changes you into the innocent girl like a baby.

As the description already says, 'Make me Pure' is a mix of sandlewood, vanilla and white musk. It's a very nice scent and I just love it. The vanilla scent isn't very intense, though, and you also won't have that strong baby powder fragrance you might have experienced from some [ETUDE HOUSE] products like hand creams, shower gels or the All-over Spray.
The dominating fragrances are definitely sandlewood and white musk.

If you also don't like floral or fruity scentes which are too intense you could give this one a try.

How to use: Spray a little bit on your neck, behind ears, chest, insides of wrist or the edge of clothes.

 
Price: around 14,- €/ US$18 
Bought at: eBay (f2plus1)  

What I love: 

The nice flacon design and the lovely scent.

What I don’t like:
Nothing yet! 

Will I buy this again? I would if I could get it here. Not sure if it's still available online when I finished it and I don't buy back-ups on perfumes.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Silky Perfumed Conditioner

I got long and thick hair! When I wash my hair I always need to use a conditioner otherwise it's super hard to comb. A while ago I reviewed the Silk Scarf CONDITIONER and now I'm gonna review another conditioner from [ETUDE HOUSE]: the Silky Perfumed Conditioner.

The product is not very new and I know that I'm not the first who's reviewing it... Anyway, a Shampoo and Treatment is available as well but I didn't try them!

Description: Formulated with camelia, macadamia nut and sunflower seed oils to promote healthy, shiny hair.

The conditioner comes in a 280ml violet bottle with a pump on top. I like those pumps on shower gels or shampoos coz it's easy to use under the shower.

The creamy, white texture makes it easy to massage it inside my hair. [ETUDE HOUSE] calls the scent fruity and floral and I like it more than the scent of the Silk Scarf Conditioner - that one was a bit too sweet for me.

After I rinsed the product out of my hair the scent was almost gone again but it makes my hair soft and easy to comb. That's what I need it for!

How to use: Wet hair and dispense conditioner onto hands. Work conditioner through hair and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Repeat if necessary!

Price: around 10,- €/ US$12.50

Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)  

What I love: 
The scent and it makes my hair easy to comb. 

What I don’t like: 

The scent doesn't last for a long time. 

Will I buy this again? No, I just wanted to try it out. Too pricey for using it always!

[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.
