[ETUDE HOUSE] Wannabe Style Making Kit & Wannabe Last Touch Lip Gloss

[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
- Wannabe Style Making Kit

LOVE
- Wannabe Last Touch Lip Gloss & Freshener (3 colors)
- Wannabe Sparkling Tear DropLiner
- Wannabe Perfumed Syrup Nails
- Wannabe Lumi-Ball Highlighter
- Wannabe Eye Lashes (2 designs)

POP
- Wannabe Shine Finishing Pact & Highlighter Duo (2 colors)
- Wannabe Color Lips (3 colors)
- Wannabe Moisture Fix Mist
- Wannabe Style Nails (2 colors)

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)
From left to right: 
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).

[ETUDE HOUSE] PINK WATER PLAYFUL Perfumed Body Spray

Another Perfume I got yesterday is the PINK WATER PLAYFUL Perfumed Body Spray from [ETUDE HOUSE]. This Body Spray is available in 3 different kinds of fragrances:
- PINK WATER SWEET (Sweet Fruity Floral)
- PINK WATER TRENDY (Citrus Green Floral)
- PINK WATER PLAYFUL (Fruity Floral Powdery)

I chose PLAYFUL coz I usually like those fruity and powdery scents.
When I got this Body Spray I was really surprised about the size. It's a quite big translucent bottle (around 20cm for sure) and contains 160ml. The bottle becomes more yellowish at the bottom. The packaging is just a simple trasparent box with the description in white/ pink on it.
It has a pink colored pump and lid.
I am a bit disappointed by the fragrance. It smells like a really strong perfume and I get headache when I smell too much of it. It smells better and less strong after I sprayed it to my body, though. The fragrance is a bit difficult to describe: It's called Fruity Floral Powdery. Unfortunately, I don't smell too much of the fruity and powdery scent. The floral scent seems to dominate.
I hoped it would smell more like the 'Baby Bubble Allover-Spray' coz of the powdery scent... 

Price: around 13,- €/ US$17 
Bought at: eBay (libra038)  

What I love: 
There is nothing I love on this product.

What I don’t like:  
The scent is not what I hoped to get. It's too strong and not fruity enough for my taste! 
Maybe the 'PINK WATER SWEET' would be better for me... 

Will I buy this again? No! Better get other Perfumes or Body Sprays etc.

[SKINFOOD] Foodtherapy Stick Perfume *Steam Milk*

Since the last two days my skin is so bad again: dry, red and burns when I apply something on it. So I didn't use make-up, just my 'Pure Joy Sensitive Cream'.
Because of that I review today something you don't use on your face. It's the new [SKINFOOD] Foodtherapy Stick Perfume. This product line is quite new and I had to grab one of these. I got No.5 Steam Milk which also contains Lavender.

There are 4 other fragrances available:
- No.1 Refreshing Lemon
- No.2 Energy Berry
- No.3 Happy Vanilla
- No.4 Resting Green Tea

Description: Discover the new perfume made with everyday food.
Our Food Therapy Stick Perfume series uplifts your mind and brightens your mood with the scent of fruit and vegetables. Each scent provides different aromatherapeutic benefits for different moods.
[No. 5 Steam Milk]
Have a warm glass of milk before bed. The scent of milk and lavender relaxes your mind, promoting a good night's sleep. 
The packaging is kept in violet and yellowish-white colors with a cute cup of milk & cow print on it. The product itself has the same design as the packaging and contains 8g.
The stick has the same size as the 'Vanilla Moist Eyes Cream' which I reviewed already.
You can fold out the packaging in the front. In this way you get the stick out.
You have to pull off the lid and the cover which protects the product.
The stick is violet and colorless on the skin. No.5 Steam Milk smells like Lavender and just slightly like Milk. Usually I dislike the scent of Lavender but I wanted this stick for using before I go to sleep. I can't use too much of it or I will get headache, though.

How to use: Dab on the wrist, behind the ears, and below the neck where the pulse points are.

Price: around 11,- €/ US$13  
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)  

What I love: 
The packaging!

What I don’t like: 
Actually the scent of Lavender but this one here is still acceptable.

Will I buy this again? Not this one but 'Happy Vanilla' seems interesting, too.

[ETUDE HOUSE] MISSING U! Hand Cream *SPECIAL SET*

I already reviewed the new 'Bee Happy! Hand Creams' from the MISSING U! product line by [ETUDE HOUSE]. Now I wanna review the first serie of these hand creams.

I got the 'SPECIAL SET' which contains all 4 types:
- Fairy Penguin (Baby Powder)
- Panda (Peach)
- Pink Dolphin (Fiona Flower)
- Harp Seal (Green Tea)

This hand creams are free of Paraben, Sulphate, Ethanol and Color.

Description: Missing U Hand Cream is formulated with natural mixture of herbs, Shea Butter and Olives to moisturize, heal and soothe hands.
The SPECIAL SET comes in a whitish 'egg box' with a paper sheet around it. Everything was printed with soy ink. The creams itself come in cute plastic container which look like different endangered animals. Each container contains 30ml!
Compared to the 'Bee Happy! Hand Creams' this ones here have a more lotion-like consistency and are not thick like a balm. This makes it easier to take out, you just have to dip your fingers in.
Fairy Penguin (left): The Baby Powder Fragrance is my favorite of all 'MISSING U! Hand Creams'. I just love that soft powder scent.
Panda (right): It has a nice fruity Peach scent which is not too strong.
Harp Seal (left): The Green Tea Fragrance was really weird for me at the beginning but after using it a few times I started to like it. The fragrance is very strong for me!
Pink Dolphin (right): I'm not a fan of those Rose, Lavender or whatever scents but this Fiona one is quite nice. It smells a bit like rose but not too strong. I like it, too!
I like all of this creams and I got a single one of the Fairy Penguin as well. When you get just one cream they come in a small paper box.

Price (Set): around 20,- €/ US$30
Bought at: eBay (reallyhappyidea) 

What I love: 
The design and the Baby Powder fragrance. 

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

Will I buy this again? I would buy the 'Fairy Penguin' a 3rd time. It's my favorite one!

[ETUDE HOUSE] so lovely Allover Spray

Since I tried out Body Washes from [ETUDE HOUSE] I'm kinda addicted to this brands fragrances. That's why I also had to try out those All-over Sprays they offer. Today I review the so lovely Allover Spray.

This spray you can use as body fragrance, air freshener and odor remover!! Spray it on your Body, Room & Fabrics or Shoes & Bags.

Description: Cute and Sexy, she is so lovely.
The product comes in a translucent pinkish bottle and contains 150ml. It has a cute heart print!
It comes with a black pump which is a bit unpractical when you wanna spray it on your body like a perfume. But good for spraying on your fabrics etc.!
The pump has a small black 'stopper' as well. 
This so lovely ones fragrance is described as Sparkling Watery Fruity Floral. And yeah, it smells really nice and fruity. But it's not my favorite... I prefer the Baby Bubble one which I will review later, too.
If you don't like the scent of peaches or baby powder, the so lovely one could be something for you. 

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13.50 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark) 

What I love:     
The fragrance and that I can spray it at almost everything. 

What I don’t like:  
The big pump is not made for using as a perfume (unhandy). 

Will I buy this again? I would but I didn't try out the 'Peach Touch' yet. I think I would buy this first.

[ETUDE HOUSE] MISSING U Bee Happy! Hand Creams

I got some new Hand Creams with my last orders: the MISSING U Bee Happy! Hand Cream.
I loved already the first 'MISSING U' product line, therefore I had to get the new one as well.

As always you can get the new products as Lip Balms, too. A Wash Off Pack and Sleeping Pack is also available.
I reviewed the Wash Off Pack a few days ago!

Description: Our endangered animal friends are rapidly becoming extinct from the planet... 
I really want to see you... I miss you!
Formulated with natural mixture of herbs, Honey and floral fragrance to moisturize, heal and soothe hands. *This product was not tested on animals*
The new products are different 'bees/ bugs'. I got 3 of them! 
There is also a Queen Bee available but I don't really like the scent of rose.
The Hand Creams come in 100% recycled paper and everything was printed with soy ink.
Now to the different creams:  

#4 Baby Bee (Citrus Baby Powder Fragrance)
Hi~ I am Baby Bee
I can't fly yet so I just hang out in the hive eating honey.

The cream comes in a cute container that looks like a baby bee/ larva. It's green and contains 30ml. It has a thick and creamy consistency, like a balm. It smells like Citrus but not too strong.

#2 Honey Bee (Acacia Fragrance)
Hi~ I am Honey Bee
I work hard to serve the Queen and make honey for the hive.

This container is yellow and brown. It looks like a bee! The cream has the same consistency like the other one but the fragrance is different. It has the scent of Acacia (Honey)
It's my favorite Hand Cream from this product line!

#3 Ladybug (Chestnut Blossom Fragrance)
Hi~ I am Ladybug
I can fly like my friends the bees and I protect crops from insect pests.

The Ladybug cream comes in a brown and red-colored container. The cream itself has the same consistence as the other two. The fragrance is a bit weird... It smells like flowers but still different. Maybe it's the Chestnut scent.
You have to take out the cream with your fingers. It's not so easy coz the cream is rather like a balm and not lotion-like as the first 'MISSING U!' Hand Creams.
The cream is easy to massage into the hands and absorbs fast. 

Price (each): around 9,- €/ US$12  
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76 & zinopark)

What I love:
The cute design and the fragrance of the 'Honey Bee'.

What I don’t like:
The consistency is thicker than the first 'MISSING U!' line. It's harder to get the cream out.

Will I buy this again? If I do then probably just the 'Honey Bee (Acacia)' one.
