Etude House - Tear Drop Liner

Packaging: Clear plastic base with a shimmery peach stem/applicator.

Information: This product is an eyeliner, it is meant to highlight the eye area.  I would not wear if you are having under eye circles that day as it draw attention to them.

Appearance/Smell/Texture: This product looks very silvery white in the bottle and it is on but what you can kind of see from the picture below is a hint of the very small fine glitter. The glitter is silver, red and green.  It makes for a beautiful combination.  It has no smell (thankfully) and is has a very cool and refreshing texture when applied.

Instructions: Pick one eye to start. Apply as closely to the eyelashes as possible starting from the inner eye all the way to the outer eye.  You can either do it in one or several applications, then let dry.  I do the other eye while one dries.  If desired layer another layer or extend the existing layer.  You can also apply to the lower lid.

Rating:  This product can be difficult to use a first, but I really like it when I am going out.  4.8/5

Etude House - Lipstick

Packaging: Light pink lid with a darker pink base.

Information: Color is Pink 04.

Appearance/Smell/Texture: A light rose pink with small pink glitter.  It has a light pleasant scent. It has a smooth and light texture.

Cost: Once again not sure, bought it in the store.

Rating: Love this color it looks really good with my complexion and is a nice lipstick that has good staying power. 5/5

Etude House - Happy Teatime - Lemon Tea

Etude House has a variety of cleansing options and I don't own that many of them, but I am a sucker for a sale. And now that I'm over my aversion to cleansing cream I'm shopping around for more. This comes in a cute big yellow and light yellow jar, the top lid has an adorable little teapot on it. You get 180ml per jar, which is very decent. They do have two other scents milk tea and green tea.

Package description and instructions:
Cleansing Cream's creamy texture contains lemon extract to remove dirt and makeup while keeping skin moisturized with the pleasant fragrance of tea.
(Directions) Apply cream to all areas of face. Massage thoroughly and wipe clean with cleansing tissues or rinse with warm water to remove excess.
(Caution) For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use if signs of irritation and/or rash appear.

Well I can certainly smell the lemon in the cream but I don't really detect a strong tea smell if any. But I love lemon so it's fine with me that it is the stronger scent. The cream is nice and thick, very rich and cleansing. It doesn't leave a residue which makes me happy, and the scent is not over bearing.

The cost is 4,000 won each but I paid 3,600 for it with my discount. Or about 3/2.80 in U.S. dollars. I give it a 5/5. Great product.

Etude House - Magic Crystal Pack Peeling

I love face cleaning products and I love peeling products. Why? Because it helps you get rid of all that dead skin that is clogging up your pores and leading to ugly skin.

I use about 6 products in a rotation because I like the different effects that each have. Also I like to tell people I use all the stuff I buy.

Now first off I do not have sensitive skin. At all so I have to offer a nice warning to ladies who do. I love to read other blogs about Korean makeup and my favorite is Lotus Palace she also blogs about Japanese makeup too. Here is her post on her use of Magic Crystal Pack Peeling: http://lotuspalace.blogspot.com/2008/09/etude-house-magic-crystal-pack.html


As you can see it is very creamy and you can see some of the particles in this picture. Also it has a perfumed scent I still can't remember what it reminds me of but I find it pleasant. So how do you use this product. Well I put on about a quarter sized drop and then I massaged it in for a few seconds. Then you leave it on until it dries and then rinse it off with water. I use a wash cloth to remove it just because I like to be extra clean. It does have a drying effect so you might want to follow up with a moisturizer. It cost 11,000 won but I have a discount at 9,900 won or about (8.60/7.75) in U.S. dollars. I rate it a 4.8/5.

Etude House - Sweet Appleade Collection

I just adore Etude House the girls who work there are always so nice and even when we can't always talk they somehow help me out.


So I noticed they had a new collection for summer I had to have it. I really like this product the scent is sweet like a granny smith apple. Really refreshing and nice not over powering and I have yet to detect a hidden scent. You know how sometimes you wear a lotion or perfume and at the end of the night it smells weird. With this product I have not encountered that problem.


Slim Body Gel (Sorry it's blurry)
Supposed to help slim the body and provide a cooling effect. Also with some slimming gels it has a gross slimy feel this one absorbs completely. Also I feel really fresh afterwards I don't know if it's actually slimming or not but I like it anyways. It costs 7,000 won so I got it for 6,300 won or about 5.40/4.90 U.S.


Body Wash
Same great scent great washing power. It creates great bubbles and a little goes a long way. I really like it for my summer body wash. It costs 6,000 but I paid 5,400 or about 4.70/4.20 U.S.

Body Lotion
A very nice body lotion not too thick, not too thin. It was just right in my opionion and it helped with my dry heels. It costs 6,000 but I paid 5,400 or about 4.70/4.20 U.S.

Body Scrub
This is a great body scrub it has thick grandules in it to help scrub off all that dead skin. You should use your hands and scrub until grandules disolve. It costs 7,000 won so I got it for 6,300 won or about 5.40/4.90 U.S.


Foot Spray
Used to deodorizer and freshen feet all day long. I use other products for this but I thought it would be nice to try out the whole collection. It was very cooling and I didn't have any odor at the end of the day. I wear sandals mostly so I don't really have odor that way. I will have to try it out with the really old sneakers and see how well it fares. It costs 4,500 but I paid 4,050 or about 3.50/3.00 U.S.


So I love the whole collection I give it a 5/5.
