Etude House Hair Tools Bang Cut Kit






About 8 months ago I got some straight bangs and found that it requires alot of maintenance, I basically need to trim my bangs every 2 and a half week, and since I don't have that kind of time and money, I've decided to do it myself.
 
After going thru a bunch of youtube videos, I've decided to get this kit and started to trim my own bangs. First off, the scissors sucks, it's so blunt that it takes forever to trim my bangs, so I got rid of it, and gotten a pair of decent scissors.
 
My first attempt took me nearly half an hour to trim 1/2 inch, because after watching so many videos I've learnt that I shouldn't just cut my bangs straight across, but to nip it vertically. However, after a few cuts, I found this technique to be time consuming and I did what I should not, I've cut it straight across, and was left with blunt bangs.
 
Honestly, I kind of liked the final results and have been cutting it straight across every 3 weeks. I think I'll keep on cutting my hair until I'm tired of bangs and want to grow it out.

Etude House Petit Bijou Baby Bubble Allover Spray


Contents: 150ml
Price: HK$70.00

According to the package:
 
All over spray with soap scent like you just took a shower
All over baby bubble can be applied on body, cloths, bags, shoes, blanket and everywhere.
All over baby bubble is enriched with moisture, vitamin and mineral.
It helps body and fabric to be fresh with lemon extracts
Feeling good soap scent with bubbles
Water Based Type Spray has minimum stimulus
 
Top notes: Fresh fruity - sweet orange and basil scent
Mid Notes: Soft floral - lovely lilac and white rose scent
Base Notes: Musky Woody - baby powder and musk scent

My Opinion:

This is a very lightly scented body splash, it smells like baby powder and it reminds me of Bvlgari Petits et Mamans, but is not as strong.

This is my bedtime scent, because I like to spray this after shower and right before I go to bed. Since I had this, I went back and got the perfume and shower gel as well, so reviews are coming up soon.

Etude House Milk Talk Body Wash


Contents: 200ml/6.76 fl oz
Scent: Banana
Price: HK$50.00
Local of Purchase: Moms & Moms

My Opinion:

This smells exactly like banana milk shake and I love it, I just wish that the scent would last longer, because the scent was gone by the time I've towel dry myself.
 
This product mosturizes my skin better than my usual bath and body works or body shop shower gel, I think I'm going to get the other scents as well.

Etude House Blush









Contents: 8g
Shade: 22

My Opinion:
 
I've got this blush ages ago, and I think it has already been discontinued, at least etude house blushes does not comes in this packaging anymore.
 
Honestly, this blush was very coarse and powdery, but somehow I've been loving the shade and have been using it alot this summer.

Etude House MiniMe Ms Hot Perfumed Stick





Scent: Tropical Fruity
Contents: 6g (0.2oz)
Price: ₩11,000

Ingredients: DI-C 12-15 Alkyl Maleate, Polyethytlene, Perfume, Ozokerite, Phenyl Trimethicone, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer, Dimethicone, Dextrin Palmitate, Erythrityl, Triethylhexanoate, Triethylhexanoin, Synthetic Wax, Bees Wax, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triclyceride, Silica, Phytosteryl Isostearyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Allyl Methacrylates CrossPolymer, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Dimethi-Cone, D&C Yellow #10 (CI 47005) Al-Lake, Polyglyceryl-2 Trisostearate, Methicone, Ferric Ferrocynide, D&C Red #6(CI 15850) NA-Lake, Carmine.

My Opinion:
I've already written a review for Etude House MiniMe Ms Hot Perfumed Mist (Body & Hair) , which smells exactly the same as this solid perfume (i.e. grape fruit). The reason why I got this as well, was because the mist did not last, and by wearing these 2 items together it seems to last slightly longer (but it still fades within an hour...)

香味:西柚
容量: 6g (0.2oz)
價錢:韓圓11,000

我的意見:
早前已寫過一編關於Etude House MiniMe Ms Hot Perfumed Mist (Body & Hair) 的文章,而這支香膏和之前所說過的香水其實是一樣味道的(即西柚味),但由於支香水的香味散得太快,所以就再買了一樣味道的香膏來一起使用,希望兩件產品一起使用後,香味能維持更久。雖然已兩件產品一起使用,可惜香味也只能維持到約一小時...

Etude House MiniMe Ms Hot Perfumed Mist (Body & Hair)

Contents: 100ml
Price: HK$199
Ingredients: Water, Alcohol, Fragrance, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Octyldodeceth-16, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl, Methoxycinnamate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil
According to espoir.com:
Top Notes:
  • Starfruit
  • Grapefruit
  • Lichi
  • Rambutan

Mid Notes:

  • Muguet
  • Rose
  • Geranium

Base Notes:

  • Sandalwood
  • Cedarwood
  • Musk
My Opinion:
The box describes this scent as "Body and hair mist with a tropical fruit fragrance", and in my opinion this smells exactly like pink grape fruit (love it). This is a very light fragrance that fades within 15 minutes and since one of the main ingredients is alcohol, I'd definetly won't spray it on my hair.

Etude House Happy Teatime Lemon Tea Cleansing Cream

Contents: 180ml

Price: Sorry, I don't remember how much I got this for


According to Etude House's Webpage:

Description:


Washable makeup removal cream has light texture with low oil content for women in their 20’s-31’s


My Opinion:


I think it is kind of weird to label a product (especially a cleanser) for a determined age group??? but anyway, when I got this product, I wasn't aware of it (everything in the packaging was written in Korean), and if I knew earlier I wouldn't have bought it (I'm not within the recommended age group...)


Back to the review, I was sucked in again because of the scent, and it did actually smell like lemon, although I did not detect any scent of tea, it did smell like a lemon scented toilet freshener...., and apart from this issue, it didn't remove my makeup well, there was still residue of makeup after using this.
