This is my first ever Etude House Haul, so I'm really looking forward to trying out these products. I've bought a couple of items from Etude House before, but it was just tools that I needed. Like nail art stickers, mask brush, sponges and that was it. So when I saw that they're having a 20% off grand sale, I knew I had to go.
Etude House Haul
Nail Polish
I tested out the matte nail polish but I didn't like it so I just bought the regular one. I've been looking for this specific shade anyway so it's still awesome that I found it. They already have a crackle nail polish but I didn't buy it, now I'm thinking of going back for it. LOL
Oh My Eyelash Double Up Volume
I love the brush applicator of this variant.
Lip & Eye Makeup Remover
I picked this up because it has more product compared to Maybelline's Eye & Lip makeup remover.
Fresh Nailwash Safe Nail Color Remover
I was just curious how this would be different to other nail polish removers I've been using. So I just bought.
Etude House Cotton Puff
I intended to buy my favorite cotton pads at Watsons but they were not available. I'm just glad I found this as a replacement. I got it for only Php 38.00 pesos! and oh these are sterilized cotton pads.
I finally have an Etude House Pink Membership card!
You can avail this for a minimum single receipt purchase of Php 500.00
This is it for now.
Cheerios!

I've been using the Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss ever since I got last month and I just love it. Here's my quick review on this lip gloss.
* sleek packaging
* has so much product, this is the biggest lipgloss tube I've ever had
* the doe foot applicator is unique, it's so soft and it bends!
* it has micro crystals, I'm not a fan of glitter gloss because of the gritty feeling but this one is awesome, I didn't even notice that is has a little shimmer to it until I saw my lip swatch photo.
* no sticky feeling at all
* doesn't dry out my lips
* has enough pigmentation
* super mild scent with a hint of vanilla which goes away after you apply it.
My rating: 5 / 5
I still gave it a perfect five star rating simply because of the fact that lip glosses really don't last long on your lips. This is the best Revlon lip gloss I've tried so far.
Will I recommend? Definitely Yes!
This is it for now.

hey girlfies, just wanted to show this mini haul which I bought over the weekend. It's really just random stuff I picked here and there while hubby and I went mall hopping. LOL!
These are the stuff I got from Watson's
L'oreal Smooth Intense Caring Conditioner
Kleenex Cotton Roll
(they ran out of my favorite cotton pads)
Lecit-E Capsules
BBW lotion version in Black Raspberry Vanilla
(got it from a boutique at Ayala Center Cebu)
Stuff from HBC SM Cebu Branch
Allue Blush Gel in Cherry Bloom
San-San Nail Polish in Amethyst
San-San False Eyelashes (natural)
Art Materials I bought from National Bookstore
Since I'm a newbie on nail art, I though that these would be an inexpensive way to do it. I've been thinking of buying nail art kits but I changed my mind and want to try out the primitive way. LOL! I used tried using these yesterday for my first nail art attempt and it seems to have worked, I think. The really small and pointy brushes really helped, I just treated like I was doing a painting.
Here's how it came out!
is it a PASS or FAIL?
No need to fret, I do think this is a fail, oh well there's always next time.
This is it for now.

Hi guys, sorry if I've been MIA for the past couple of days. Been very busy with work and stuff. Here's a mini haul I bought from ebay that I wanted to show you. I'm not sure though if I'll be able to use all these shades because I'm pretty bad with nail art. LOL
I just bought these on a whim while I was browsing through ebay. I just had to buy them because they're so pretty. It's from the Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color line. By the way, the first bottle which is in "Red Red" it's the prettiest red shade I ever found so far.
Here are the names of these polishes: (from left to right)

Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color in Sparkled
Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color in Sunny Side Up
Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color in Bar-B

I've already emptied two bottles of the Human Nature Citronella Bug Spray and I just have to share this with everyone.
I've been using the OFF Mosquito Repellent lotion for Kids on my son for a long time and I noticed it doesn't seem to work, because he still gets mosquito bites. After repurchasing the OFF lotion bottle after bottle, I just had to search for an alternative and that's when I found Human ♥ Nature. When it said DEET Free and 100% no harmful chemicals I quickly searched for the nearest Human ♥ Nature branch here in Cebu and bought the Citronella Bug Spray without thinking twice.

Product Info from Human Nature
100% natural bug spray effectively protects you from disease-causing mosquitoes and pesky bugs without the nasty effects of toxic chemicals. Includes organic virgin coconut oil (VCO), known for its skin-healing, moisturizing and anti-microbial benefits. It also contains organic citronella oil, a well known insect repellent, organic lemongrass, essential oil together with rosemary and lavender essential oils give off a pleasant smell that’s good for you but bad for the mozzies and bugs! Suitable for very young children!
Retail Price: Php 129.75 100ml
also available in 50ml
What I like about it...
* inexpensive, especially if you've been buying the OFF mosquito repellent you will really appreciate how much this stuff saves a lot of money
* very effective, I apply this on my son after his morning bath and he doesn't have any bug bites for the whole day, he sleeps so soundly in the afternoon without having to worry about those pesky mosquitoes.
* a little goes a long way, since this is oil based, it's very easy to apply this on both arms and legs
* Deet free and & 100% no harmful chemicals, it made me stop worrying about using this everyday like I did with the OFF lotion
What I don't like...
* the fragrance is overwhelming, especially on your first try. It smells like Manzanilla. But we all got used to scent after a few days of using it.
My rating: 5 / 5
Thumbs Up to this product! It's what every mother could ask for, inexpensive, effective and totally safe. I highly recommend this to you all especially if you're also living in a tropical country like we do. Rainy season is also starting here in Philippines so this would be perfect for "Dengue" prevention.
