[ETUDE HOUSE] Apricot Stick *Blueberry & Banana*

I noticed that the most make-up items I own are lip sticks/ glosses. I got a bunch of lippies already and don't know how I will finish all of them before they expire...

In addition I got 3 new ones today: two of them are from the Apricot Stick line by [ETUDE HOUSE].

I'm not sure if this product line is new or got a new design only because I found at google some pics where the Sticks look different (white container).

Anyway, I decided to get #2 Blueberry and #5 Banana. You can choose from 8 colors:

- #1 Grape

- #2 Blueberry

- #3 Apple

- #4 Apricot

- #5 Banana

- #6 Bubblegum

- #7 Raspberry

- #8 Cherry

Description: Lip Moisture with Ceramide. Kiss & Melt Complex.  

Moist & Pure Lips with Fruits flavor. 

Each Apricot Stick contains 2g and comes in a plastic twist-up container with a lid. 

The Sticks aren't very big, just 10cm long. The containers are kept in the same colors as the lip glosses itself.

#2 Blueberry:

The Blueberry one seems to be the brightes pink shade in this product line. The Gloss looks rather like a lipstick but the color is not that strong. It just gives my lips a hint of pink color. It also looks glossy and smells like blueberries. The scent isn't too strong, though.

#5 Banana:

The Stick in #5 Banana seems to be a mix of red, orange and beige. Kinda hard to describe but I like the color. It also gives just a hint of color to my lips. It's glossy as well and smells a bit like bananas. I like it!! 

Some pics of both colors:

  

How to use: Twist the dispenser of stick and apply it on the lips smoothly. 

Price (each): around 6,- €/ US$8 

Bought at: eBay (zinopark) 

What I love:

The scents and the glossy finish. 

What I don’t like:  

There is nothing I dislike!  

Will I buy this again? Maybe another color!

[SKINFOOD] Rice Mask Wash off

Today I received 6 new color contact lenses from EOS and the Dolly Eye. I got some blue, green, brown, pink and dark grey ones. All Made in Korea!

I will take pics when I wear them. Probably together with the Fake Lash Reviews.

Now I review another face mask from [SKINFOOD]: the Rice Mask Wash off.

I think this mask is quite popular and I wanted to try it out as well. It's a moisturizing and brightening mask!

Description: A wash-off mask containing rice extract that moisturizes skin and brightens tone. With its texture of ground rice, it leaves skin bright, soft and lustrous. 

Like most of the [SKINFOOD] face masks this one comes in a round plastic container. These are good to stack up, what I like. It has a white lid with a simple light brown sticker on it. 

The container contains 100g!

To protect the product there is another white cover underneath the lid.

The mask itself is creamy white and contains some granules which are from the rice. 

So, this Rice Mask works slightly as a Peeling, too.
The scent is soft and a bit sweet. It reminds me always of a dessert I can get in Germany. It is called "Grießbrei" (semolina porridge) and made of rice as well. You can eat it warm or cold, with cherries or strawberries etc.

The peeling effect isn't very strong but after using the mask my skin feels smoother.
But that's all already! I don't see that it does anything else to my skin yet.

How to use: After washing, apply desired amount onto face, focusing on nose area while avoiding eye and mouth areas. Wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then wash off with warm water.

Price: around 10,- €/ US$12 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark) 

What I love: 
The scent (of sweet rice)!! 

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I dislike!  

Will I buy this again? I don't think so!

[ETUDE HOUSE] Sleeping Pack *Pore & Oil Control*

A few days ago I wrote that I ordered a 'SIRIUS Skinsonic System' but I canceled the order because it was temporarily 'out of stock' and I waited for 2 weeks. I found the clarisonic Mia for $95 instead and purchased it together with 5 replacement brush heads (2x Sensitive, 2x Deep Pore Cleansing, 1x Acne Cleansing). I got 20% discount on each order, so I paied approx. $200 (incl. shipping costs) and the 6 brush heads will last for more than 1 year. 
Can't wait to receive it and try it out!!

Today I will review a face mask you use over night: the Sleeping Pack Pore Tightening from [ETUDE HOUSE].

This 'Sleeping Pack' is available in 3 types:

- Pore & Oil Control (green)

- Moist & Firm (pink)

- Soft & Brightening (blue)

Description: Complexion Rest with 12 Hour Energized Sleep Efficacy.

Facial Pack promotes pore tightening & non-oily complexion overnight with 10 hour energized sleep efficacy.

The Pore Tightening Sleeping Pack comes in a light green tube and contains 120ml.

It has a flip-top lid so you have to squeeze the product out of the tube. I use a Pack Brush to apply it to my face.

The consistency is neither too thick nor too watery and is whitish. I love the scent but I can't describe it. It smells soft and maybe a bit like soap?!

I apply a thin layer to my face before I go to sleep and wait for around 5-10 minutes until it doesn't feel too sticky anymore. When it's dry I can sleep without problems.

In the morning my skin feels smooth and less oily. Unfortunately the effect is gone after I washed my face.

I think you can use this Sleeping Pack almost every night but I use it seldom. I just got too many other things!

Price: around 11,- €/ US$14
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76) 

What I love: 
The scent and that my face feels smooth and less oily in the morning. 

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I dislike! 

Will I buy this again? I would but it will last for a long time.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss *Guava Sherbet & Chai Tea Latte*

Last week I received two new Lip Gloss: the [ETUDE HOUSE] Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss.

I reviewed No.15 Roll Roll Pink Soda already and got now No.4 Guava Sherbet and No.11 Chai Tea Latte as well.

Description: Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss gives a natural and shiny look to your lips, and it comes with 15 colors.

#4 Guava Sherbet:

The lip glosses come in translucent bottles with a gold-colored lid. Each gloss contains 5g.

The sponge applicator is rotating, so you can 'roll' the gloss to your lips.

Guava Sherbet is a nice pink - not too bright and not too dark. It's a shimmering gloss and gives my lips just a hint of pink color.

#11 Chai Tea Latte:

Chai Tea Latte looks like a shimmering nude beige. It gives my lips a natural and shiny look. The color is on my lips not as strong as it looks in the bottle, though. 

It is not too sticky and has the same fruity scent as the other glosses - yummy!

Some pics of the colors inclusive the Roll Roll Pink Soda one:

Price (each): around 7,- €/ US$9 

Bought at: eBay (zinopark)  

What I love: 
The scent and the way to apply the gloss to my lips. 

What I don’t like: 
The colors could be more 'visible'.

Will I buy this again? Thinking about getting a purple one ('Blueberry Latte' or 'Purple Candy Sherbet').

[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.
