| Play Etude! |
hi folks!
so this is my current obsession: makeups. or Korean makeups, specifically. or let's just say I'm a pathetic girl who crave every Etude House products...
wondering why? don't worry I've prepared some arguments! (k this started to sound like a debate or something lol)
* WHY I LOVE ETUDE HOUSE *
- the makeups are light and natural, perfect for young girls (like me! *winks*). they had changed my judgement towards makeup-- I used to hate makeup very much bc it's uncomfortable and heavy (like my face is being smothered with cement) and gives me that drama-queen look. now I can use makeup and still look like a normal 17 yo girl, just prettier.
- they also combined various skin treatment formulas (such as moisturizer, whitening, sunscreen and even anti-wrinkle etc.) in most of their products, which is a big plus side and makes it great for daily use.
- cute packaging! who can resist ice-cream-shaped nail polish or cookie-like pact? Etude House surely knows how to get girls' heart ;)
- the products are free from 'scandalous' chemicals such as paraben. I actually had discussed about this with a friend of mine who happens to be a doctor and he said that the usage of paraben is still a controversy but for now it's still considered as 'safe'. anyway, I simply believe that the less chemical it contains, the better, so I'll just happily go with it :)
tempted to purchase some already? but wait, I haven't done yet! like they said: nothing's perfect, there are some things that disappoint me as well...
* WHAT I DON'T REALLY LIKE *
- the price will literally make holes on your wallet *sobs* but I've got one simple tips for this: online shopping! purchasing online is waaay cheaper than shopping directly on Etude House outlets. people said it's bc there's no tax charged (well, idk if it's black market or not, but as long as it's cheaper why not? lol) and they don't need to rent a place since all they need is a website. but beware of fake products girls! make sure to buy on a trusted online shop.
- since Korean are famous for their bright, flawless skin, the makeups somehow don't really suit those with dark and blemished skin (which is totally me!) I found their BB creams come in a very limited shades to choose (only 4 shades at most) and the color tone of their lipstick, eye shadow, etc. are mainly only suits those with bright skin. plus, in order to suit the 'natural' look, those with blemishes have to conceal it first, which is a pain in the ass for me. well, it's all goes back on each person's personal taste tho. I'm just saying. and Etude House also got some concealer variants. I haven't tried them, but I'm looking forward to :)
I'm not a makeup expert or something alike, just a mere girl who started to fall in love with beauty products. and this post is only my humble opinions, I don't associate with any people/company, thus I never mean to promote/badmouth certain party.
enough for today, ciao!
