[REVIEW] Etude House Color Lips-Fit #PK002


Hello sweeties, I'll be reviewing this new Color Lips-Fit from Etude House which is recently launched in Korea :) I wanted to read others opinion for this lipstick before buying but since I did not found any so I decided to order this in Feb in color #PK002 Silhouette Fit Pink. The one that Sulli and Krystal wear is another color and I also purchased Sulli's color in PK003 last week so I'm excited to see how the turns out!
Product Info ;
Name : Color Lips-Fit #PK002 Silhouette Fit Pink
Brand : Etude House
Production : Made in Korea
Date of Production : 27/01/2014
Net weight : 10g / 0.35 oz.
Purchased from : Testerkorea
The packaging of Etude never fails in terms of its cuteness :)











The packaging is of course at the top. Etude House never fails in terms of making cutesy and princessy packaging :D

There are 6 in total of colors for this product and 1 top coat. I guess they're trying to imitate Clio lipnicure though..haha.. Most colors range from bright pink, subtle pink, coral to orange. I think that's the theme for Spring this year. I personally choose PK002 because based from swatches that I seen on youtube, the color is pretty and not too overboard.

It turns out that the color is very neon, you could see from above swatches. I don't think it would suit everyday wear because it was too bright. My first test is before I going to a wedding party and panicked when I saw the color is too bright. 

The lipstick dries matte. I actually expected this when I saw their launching ads but somehow the swatches on youtube is way different. It looks moist (?) TT.. I was tricked into buying so there you go, lip cracks and chapped lips starting to appear after a while and it looks so horrible ;(

Many suggest that to scrub your lips before wearing them and yes you can do that to remove chapped lips but it won't change the fact that it will turn nasty later.  I'm not sure how it turns after applying the top coat tho.

I can't really say that it is waterproof. The first time I put the swatches under the water, the color did not budge at all but when I touched it, I can see that it transfer the color to my finger. It smells like a strawberry candy and I think the smell is strong even after I put them on my lips.

Last but not least, I don't recommend anyone with dry lips like mine coz the lipsfit formula is just too horrible. It'll dry and cause uneven color and clumpy on the lips.


You'll like it ;
1- If you're a sucker of matte lips
2 - Love neon color

You'll hate it :
1 - If you have dry and chapped lips like me
2 - Dislike matte lipsticks

Thank you for reading :)

Testerkorea Small Haul

Hey there guys!
I know this post seems appropriate coz I wanted to share my happiness with you but at the same time, the missing of airplane MH370, still breaks my heart. Though non of my family are involved, but I'm still sad. Hopefully, the search team will be able to find them soon. I also want to thanks to the fellow countries that also help with the search. #PrayforMH370
 In case you haven't heard about the case, it's everywhere on the Google.

Anyway, today I'll be sharing the small haul I did in February at testerkorea. I  wanted to spend more on makeup but buying skincare product broke me so much!haha (It still hasn't arrived TT)

I'm still new at unboxing pictures..lol

Some of the products from Etude House, 3CE, and TheFaceShop. 


These are the 3CE Gel Eye Liner in Black and 3CE Super Slim Pen Liner in Brown.

The new products from Etude House that are Etude House Skin-Fit Foundation in W13 and Etude House Color Lips-fit in PK002.

My current favorite brow auto pencil! I tried one before and getting hooked with it after the Etude House's version.

I originally wanted to spend all on Etude's products but though, my mind changes like so many times until I forgot to included the products that I really wanted to try --> Etude's Face Conditioning Cream.haha
but no worries, last week, Etude Korea had sales going on so I spend a lot buying their products that I don't get to try yet..hehe
For the Skin-Fit Foundation, I don't know why I add this product into the cart..?Not sure, maybe I was excited to see all these new products added and bought it without realizing..haha
If you asking for the Color Lips-Fit, to be honest, the color is super neon!gahh..I was really shocked when I tried it on lips o.o 

For Stylenanda 3CE products, I really wanted to try this brand for so long but never got chance considering the high price. Well, I finally did and was super excited to see them! It turns that products are so freaking small! QAQ

Overall, I actually have try all of these products!Some impressed me so much and some are maybe not.
I'll be writing the review soon, probably in this week because I'm in my mid sem break so I got nothing to do at home..haha

Thank you for reading!

[REVIEW] HiShop Fairy Beauty - Fairy Whitez


Hey there guys!
I'm really sorry that I only have time to blog on weekend ;(
(this post is excluded because I already done it for sometime!haha)
I will work hard to spend more time on blog!Wish me luck :)

Today, I'll be reviewing this supplements from Fairy Beauty which is sent to me by HiShop.my :D

Before that, I would like to apologize for the unseemly looking box. There are a few bottles broke during the delivery to my box and I was sent with three boxes to try and I could say that every box is damaged and the total bottles that broke are 8 and that means almost a box. I did contact their representative but oh well, I didn't heard anything until today :( . It's okay though, at least I got to try them :D

I took 2 bottles a day on the first two weeks and a single bottle on week 3.It doesn't matter on how much bottles you took a day but for me, the reason I took 2 bottles per day because I want to see the results immediately :)

Product Info ;


Name : Fairy Whitez
Type : Beauty Drink
Production : Made in Malaysia
Halal Certificate : Yes



Some nice listed benefits!

This is a beauty drink so don't get confused..hehe

The box is properly cleaned by me :D






I really wanted to try this Fairy Whitez for sometime and I'm really glad that HiShop sent me three boxes to try them out! Much excited when the parcel arrives but blame the delivery that caused a few bottles to broke and I can't continue to consume them in the fourth week :(

I tried the Fairy Blossom previously and I could tell that they tasted almost the same. Probably because both contain the same berry ingredient :) The texture is thick and the 22ml bottle can easily gone in a few seconds..haha

Flavour is okay, I don't particularly have problem with that coz it tasted like smashed berries..:D

For the results, I actually did not see much improvements in the first week but I did saw that my face looks brighter in the second week!I used to have dull skin and even whitening products alone can't easily improve them for a long term.

My favourite part would be the effect of the supplement on my pimples and acne! My face can easily breaking out(that's for sure) and I think by taking this supplement, I hardly get any noticeable pimples or acne and the scars also ligthten especially on my cheeks. I don't have a proof picture to show but it really works for me!

As per improving wrinkles, I actually don't have much noticeable wrinkles on my face yet but there are fine lines especially on my under eye and forehead. I could tell that it does nothing on my forehead but since my face looks like it contains enough water, the under eye fine lines did improve slightly along with the dark circles. The reason why it can't improve so much is maybe because I don't have a proper sleeping time and a lot of time are spent in front of my laptop screen so that also can be one of the factor.
Sorry for different lighting. I just want to show how my under eyes looks like before using this Fairy Whitez and after using it for three weeks. 
Note : I put on serum for the after picture so it might affect the result a little bit.

A little precaution for you :)

Thank you for reading!

[REVIEW] Etude House Play Color Eyes #SoChic Palette


Hi there guys!
How have you been?Hopefully all of you are fine.

It's a middle of the night and I just got a message saying that my wifi limit reached 0.0
Just about I'm going to post this but never mind that, I could purchase a new one tomorrow.

So today, I'm going to review this limited edition palette from Etude House. I actually did not plan to buy this at all but earlier this year, Etude House Korea did an amazing sales which this palette got 30% off from the total price and it made the  price went down so much that I couldn't resist..haha

Another reason probably because I read a review for the palette before and the colors looks so much prettier than the promo pictures. I was pleased with the previous &Rose palette that I reviewed here and I believe that this palette won't disappoint me either.

Product Info :
Name : Etude House Play Color Eyes (So Chic)
Production : Made in Korea
Price : RM48+/- (sales price)






Every colors has its own name :D




The swatches turns out so nice except for the No.9(Sparkling Wine). It actually looks different than the one in the palette. I could say that it almost looks purple to me when applied on eyes but still have a hint of pink.


As you can see, No.2,3,7,8,9 are glittery eyeshadows. It causes fall outs so I really recommend you to apply eyeshadows first because applying your bb cream or foundation. No.1 and 6 are not matte in color, they're not sparkly either but you can see a bit of shine there and as for No.4,5 and 10, they're totally matte in colors.

I could say that most of the colors are very pigmented and buttery in texture. It makes the application so much easier. Just like &Rose palette, this one also had the sheer-matte colors as well. It is the No.4(French Kiss) and No.5(Misty Rose) and these colors are also much similar with the previous palette including No.6(Diva).It took me a few swatches to achieve the No.4&5 because the colors didn't show up well.

No.10 looks black in the picture, and I'm so sorry for that. It is actually a very dark brown in color and very pigmented. It is one of the color that I like in the palette because I don't have to keep re-apply to get the desired intensity.

For No.7(Glam Forest), there's something unique about this color. Because of the flash, the color on palette above shows that it really looks a bit greener than silver but in real (natural light), you can't actually see the green color. As for applying on the eyes, it does came out in a bit green in color.

Based on the swatches picture, except for No.9(Sparkling Wine) and No.10(Leopard Brown), all the colors totally looks the same when applied on the eyes. As I said about the lighting mistake that the No.10 turns a bit darker than it should be but No.9(Sparkling Wine) is really different when I swatch it. It looks like it's not really dark in color but it is actually looks a bit purple with a hint of pink when applied. A bit disappointed because it doesn't looks as in the palette but I'm quite like the color when it comes to burgundy-romantic make up. I did one below but the colors didn't show up well because of the lighting problem. Sorry for that ;(

Overall, this palette is really gorgeous. I still have to figure out on how to suit the No.8(Midnight Star) with other colors though..haha

(sorry for the bad quality, these are taken from my phone)



Update : Some have been asking of what I used for my makeup. I'm not good really, but I'll share anyway :)

Eyes ; 
French Kiss (as the base)
Misty Rose (along my 1/2 eyelid)
Leopard Brown (on the crease)
Diva (Mix with the Leopard Brown on the crease)
Sparkling Wine (on the center on my eyelid filling up until the inner corner)
Coco Brown(on my under eye near to the end of the eye corner)
Pop champagne (at the lower lash line)
Brown pencil liner from EH &Rose to line up my eye.
EH Shocking mascara

Face :
KATE foundation
Brown eyeshadows (to contour my nose and cheekbone)

Lips :
EH Rosy Tint in Tea Rose.
(Note : the tea rose colour is mix up with the after blossom so it shows a bit of red on lips)
