[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] 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] 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.
