December Haul: Mamonde, Clio, Aritaum and more

I still have enough stocks that will last me until next year but still, I get tempted to buy some for myself...

Until I notice I have bought too many for this month. Hahah! It's Christmas, and sale is everywhere! :)

I got some Mamonde Sheet Mask, my first Clio item which is a brow Mascara, Maybelline lippies I bought at Watsons, Etude House and the Faceshop items I bought during my trip at Cebu, Aritaum, Iope and ACH cream I got from my pre-ordered items.

On this haul, my favorite is the Aritaum Pudding tint 'coz it taste so sweet on my lips. I hope I can find time to review all of these next year.

May we all have a Happy Holidays 2015 and a more beautiful skin in 2016!

April Haul: Missha Sheet Masks and More

Oh, I missed this! It's been quite a while since the last time I wrote something on my blog. I have tons of drafts sitting on the back-end, waiting for me start but all I can think of is just the titles. I can't remember when the last Monday I wrote something for my blog was. BF was around for the past weeks so that's explain it.

I was actually dumb not to include a sunblock on this Korean Skin haul. Now I run out of sunblock and quite rely on free samples I receive as a gift. I am not sure when it will arrive and summer is almost over. Such a bummer!

I first received this batch earlier this month. I'm surprised there is no Missha in here. Haha.

What I got here are:

> Mizon Snail Recovery Gel
> Etude House AC Clinic Intense Pink Powder Spot Patch
> Etude House My Beauty Tool Eyeliner Brush
> Etude House My Beauty Tool Soft Cream Puff
> ElishaCoy 24K Gold Luxury Sheet Mask (freebie)

I use Mizon Snail Recovery Gel as my daytime moisturizer coz it's so light. I still have enough left on rack but since it was on sale, so I bought another tube for reserve. (Sale! Go Away! You're killing my pocket.)

Until now, I still do not understand why I bought it. It's so hard to resist when sale is there. Hahahah.

Another Missha Sheet Mask Overload

And just this morning, another batch was delivered so early. SHEET MASK OVERLOAD! It was on sale so I had to grab them. I got a dozen on each flavor and still have 2 dozen left from my previous order. Panic buying for the zombie apocalypse! :D

For the love of Missha, I got here some
> Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Lemon
> Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Green Tea
> Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Tea Tree (My Secret Weapon! :D)
> Missha Super Aqua Relief Eye Cream
> Missha Super Aqua Cleansing Milk

I feel like I must be awarded by Missha. Seems like I am buying too much from them lately! But, yeah, I am happy I got them earlier than expected.

My Korean skin care routine is now complete with my eye cream. I hope my buying habits will lay low on the next months, I getting broke every payday. Hahahhaha. What I can do? I feel very happy buying and using seeing them saying hello every time I start my regimen.

Where did you spent your summer girls? Am actually stuck here in my room until summer ends. I am such a loser this summer. :D Hope yours was a blast! Stay pretty.

Etude House Don't Worry Happy Change Lip Balm #01 Review

March is here, I already feel the summer scents around me. How about in your place?

So right now, I will be sharing my thoughts on Etude House Don't Worry Happy Change Lip Balm #01. I bought this last December at Etude House Ayala Cebu for P 278.00/3.5g. I am still trying to find out how much it would cost me if I buy direct from S. Korea, I'm pretty sure it not that expensive. I was actually looking for a lip balm in a plain white color to use day and night and the sales lady recommended this. Actually, this was the last stock on the shelf and I was feeling lucky to get it.

Etude House Don't Worry Happy Change Lip Balm #01

The description is written both Korean and English and written in a very small prints.

"This clear lip balm softens and moisturizes chapped lips with a heartwarming message.

Apply to dry lips."

The design on the packaging is kind of confusing because the image looks like and a male emo kid to me? Do you picture the same as I do? And it looks sad instead of being happy, I quite don't understand what it is trying to say though.

The cylinder is made of plastic and is about 3 inch tall which has blue bottom and white cap. The wax is in white color and has a consistency like a petroleum jelly. Smell is not bad nor good either. I can't say its unscented coz I can smell something on it but not too strong though. Application is easy as it glides easily, however, application can sometimes be messy because the wax especially on the used part becomes soft and break during application. Though it's easy to clean that but can be annoying when you are in hurry. Maybe I should try keeping it inside the fridge to prevent it from becoming soft. It feels warm during application.

It was later last year that I started to get serious on my Korean Skin Care and lips as one of my concerns > chapped. I don't regularly use a lip balm ever since. I only use it only when I feel I need it especially when going to vacations. I started using Etude House Don't Worry Happy Change Lip Balm regularly since December 2014 and I can say it has been really great help since then. I use it day and night and apply more at night if I have an appointment the next day. My lips don't chap and feels smooth and soft when I wake up. Dry skins are not notable and can be easily removed too. In the morning, I use it before any lip colors I use, it makes application for lip color easier too. I actually like using it because I can feel it is effective on keeping my lips moisturize and preventing it from drying out. Overall, it does its job pretty and simple.

What I like

- lips feel soft

- moisturizes

- prevent dry lips

What I don't like

- price is expensive for a lip balm

- products softens that can make application messy.

- weird emo kid on the packaging :)

I am buying again only if it is on sale. Hahaha. But I like Etude House Don't Worry Happy Change Lip Balm honestly. And that's it, I hope my review has been helpful to you.

Have a great summer ahead! :)
