have it your way, then


Peach Beam Blusher #3 (Peach Beam), Touch Touch! Shadow Liner, Etude House Sharpener

First of all, I'm really sorry for the picture quality. I have been moving into a new room for this attachment programme that I'm having and I was just too tired to set up a space or little location to take pictures of the stuffs that I got. I even didn't put my usual darling MJ's Calender in place. Work has been getting the best of me, and I am enjoying every second of it that I'd rather be busy with the trial and cases and learning on procedural matters in court that I couldn't care less on organising my stuffs. I also couldn't find where my camera cable have gone, and wouldn't want to waste my time searching through the bags. So phone camera quality will do at the moment, eh?


Anyway, back to the point.

I did sneak out a bit during lunch hour or so to check out new products in stores that I love. And mind you, I haven't been into Etude House for a really long time now. I'm glad that when I did, they're having their 30% and 50% off prices on nearly every makeup items and some of the skincare items. They even have a new line that came out and is sort of Tangerine inspired. I didn't check on that much because I find that the products are really true orange based rather than peachy as I thought in first instance.


But do you know that kind of feeling where you're not happy with what you get and just feeling all ehhh inside? That is how I'm feeling now with my purchases this time. I could say that I'm glad I didn't get that many or else I'll fell worse. I'm really surprised that Etude House uses plastic bags now? I mean, one of the reasons why I like this store (apart from it being my most favourite Asian beauty brand) is because I really like their paper bags that they had once ago. The paper bags were sort of what they are known for because, correct me if I'm wrong, other beauty stores didn't carry. But oh well to that.

I initially ONLY need the sharpener, which was RM2.90 reduced to 30% off. I got the Touch Touch! Shadow Liner because I really like the color. It would be perfect for all over the eye or as an eye base. However it does have a rather thick consistency, that of the gel liner type that I don't reckon will work quite well for an eyeshadow. After a few swatches at the store, the color does go on quite thick and when rubbed gently, half of it is gone completely. I may be could use this as a gel eyeliner, which would defeat the purpose of having one if its going to come off very light instead of black on the lids. I shall think of what to do with it, if I cannot use my brush, I will just have to use my ring finger and lightly dab it onto my eyelids to control the thickness of it's consistency.

As for the blusher, I really am not in favour of its plastic packaging. Not that I mind though, but other Etude House range of blushers have cuter packaging, I feel like I'm paying more. The color is pretty though. It's a baked consistency with one side is a peachy color (slightly gold) while the other is a medium pink tone. But holly molly, the blusher has shimmers like no tomorrow. I'm a fan of matte blusher, as I like to have my glow through a highlight instead of a shimmer blusher because its easier to control. I don't think you can see clearly from the picture but it definitely has shimmers. I'm quite dissapointed with this blusher, but I don't want to say anything further. I will give it a try to see if I like it or else, my sister can have it.


I hope none of you have any post-purchase regrets lately, sigh. Have a great day anyone.
