[Review] Skinfood Vietnam !

Continuing with my makeup haul from Vietnam...The Skin Food store where I went to purchase these items were at Now Zone Mall in HCM. The customer service there was really good. In my previous post I had mentioned that the Sales Associates would follow you around the store, Skin Food was exactly the same. However, what I liked about the sales associates here was that they would just observe what you are looking at and tell you which of the items are a best seller in the store. What I also liked about the service there is that once you walk in they would tell you right away about a promotion that they are having in the store.  So here is what I bought!

While looking at the Pomegranate lipstick the sales associate informed me that this particular shade has been their number 1 seller and that the colour payoff was really good. I figured I might as well give it a try because I don't particularly lean towards such a pink lipstick but I'd have to say that I did actually like it. For those who are into the gradient lip effect this would be a nice colour to try out.  

Pomegranate Chic Lipstick in #PK03

The actual colour of this lipstick is actually a bit brighter than the picture. The lipstick does have a scent to it and to me it does smell like pomegranates; its nothing too strong that you won't be able to handle. 

Lip and Cheek in #Grapefruit

This Lip and Cheek product makes it an awesome 2 in 1 product. I was surprised to see how easily it is to blend when applied to the cheeks as a blush and how the colour looks with my skin tone. This is the first coral product that I own and absolutely love it; the colour payoff is amazing as well! As for applying it on the lips it did not make my lips feel dry whatsoever. 

I absolutely love this Mask! It leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth. The texture of this mask is very rough because of the sugar but once you massage it onto your face with wet hands it slowly dissolves.

That's all from my Vietnam Makeup Haul! See you in my next post :)

[Review] Etude House Vietnam!

While in Vietnam I decided to check out Etude House. There were many locations to choose from but I decided to go to the one that was closest to my hotel which was in district Tan Binh. The store that I went to was in district 3. Here's the address for those who are travelling to Vietnam and are close to the area 209 Hai Bà Trưng,P.6,Q.3,TP.HCM. 
When I first arrived at the store it was exactly what I had imagined it to be; A pretty little shop that's pink and girly. The interior of the store was also pink and girly. There were two sales associates that were working but as per usual they would follow you around the store even if you'd tell them that you'll ask them  for help if you need it. Besides that these are a few items that I had picked out! 

From Second to the left: Etude House Color Pop Collection in #CGR705,
Etude House Ice Cream in #GR701 and #OR202,
 Etude House Help My Finger: Art Gel Coat

2 coats each

Dear My Milky Gloss in #MPP501

My thoughts on this lipgloss is that I absolutely love this colour! However, what  I did not like about this is how it felt on the lips; it felt very thick and sticky. 

Drawing Show Liquid Liner in # BR401

I absolutely love this liquid liner! With its thin felt tip it allows you to control your liner however thin or think you want your eyeliner to be. It is also pigmented which I love! 

My overall thoughts is that besides the lipgloss, I would repurchase everything again. I found that the nail polishes were very pigmented and true to its colour, you do not need to apply more than 2 coats and it is not streaky whatsoever. With only 6 items purchased I had spent $50 CAD in total. I would say that it is okay considering I did not have to pay tax but if I were to purchase it online it probably would cost the same because of shipping costs.

If you are visiting Vietnam and would like to visit an Etude House store there visit Etude House Vietnam for a list of store locations.

[Haul] Vietnam Makeup !

Hi Everyone! It's been awhile since I've written a blog post. So I've recently just came back from my summer vacation in Vietnam! While I was there I did a little bit of makeup shopping; not much because many of the items are a lot more expensive in stores than buying it online. Here's a preview of what I bought !

Maybelline Baby Lips in Vietnam only cost $2.50 compared to $3.99-5.29
in Canada! I got this from Lotte Mart in HCM.

Full review and swatches coming up in the next post! 

Recent Beauty Haul!

Hey guys! I just wanted to share with you some of my recent purchases from Sephora, Drug stores and some online purchases. I did not purchase these all at once. I finally gave in in purchasing the Clarisonic Mia 2 and it is probably one of the best investments I've made! I've heard a lot of things about the Real Technique brushes and have finally found them at Walmart! The brushes are so soft and are comparable to Sigma brushes! Anyways, see you in my next post!

Tooooodles!

Review: Etude House CC Cream

Many of you have probably heard of CC Creams and have been wondering what it does and if it is similar to BB Creams. Since BB creams have been such a huge hit, the current new trend now is CC cream. It is also said that CC cream is the upgraded version of BB cream as well. What CC Cream stands for is Colour Control, Complete Care or Colour Change. CC cream does not have much coverage as compared to bb creams because it focuses more on protecting the skin where as BB cream does have coverage. But when the two are mixed together you get the best of both worlds because CC cream can also be used as a makeup base. So, lets get on to the review. 

I have decided to try out a few CC creams and the first one I chose was Etude House CC cream in Silky. They also had another one in Glow but I prefer the silky one. What this CC cream says it does is that it is an 8 in 1 multi-function cream that contains SPF 30, anti-aging, stress relief, hydration, whitening, sun protection, tone-up, smooth texture and luminosity. When you pump out the CC cream from the tube the cream comes out white but once you start to blend it out it adjusts to your skin colour. 

CC Cream once blended. Look how smooth it looks!

Now I have been testing this out for a couple of days now and am loving the texture once applied. It goes on very smooth and sets very fast. What I  like about this is that it comes with a pump and is easy to control the amount you want and it is also hygienic! There is a slight scent to the cream but it is tolerable. I will continue to test it out and update you on what I think of it then. Stay tuned! Let me know if you have tried any other CC creams and if you like it or not ( :

I will also be reviewing a couple more cc creams and compare them to one another so look out for that ! ( :
