[Review] Etude House - Any Cushion Foundation

Hi girls, 
I haven't been blogging for a while because I finally have my holiday, where it's the time I can do all my cosplay related activities. So I have been abandoning my blog for a month! There suppose to be a few review lining up in a very tight schedule but my laptop and internet decided to abandon me as well when I was about to launch this article ;w; /cryface!!So I am going to review a new product from my favorite Korea Brand!! Etude House!!


Etude House is famous for it's cute packaging skin care and makeup products. They always surprise me with new products such as my favorite series, Sweet Recipe! All the makeup products are packaged to look like real treats!


Shortly after C.C cream is launched, Etude House decided to launch another new foundation series , Any Cushion Foundation! And it's PINK!!


Etude House is very kind to provide a complimentary set for review.


With cute toiletries bag, CDs and Any Cushion Foundation.


Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion Foundation

This particular foundation is design with the concept of achieving long lasting and soft looking makeup for the entire day, anytime anywhere! As long as you have this foundation in hand!


A comparison of close up! 
This foundation is a sponge base filled with liquid foundation, no hands are need for the application!
Hence no dirty hands~ 


6 in 1 Benefits

As usual, all this all-in-one have lots of benefits for your skin.
  • UV protection of SPF50/PA+++ , great deal for Asian skin. We need this!
  • Moisturizing 
  • Whitening
  • Sebum Control
  • Color Correction




Air Puff

This puff is specially design so it's lightweight and able to achieve smooth result during application.
The puff is made of Rubycell+ Polyurethane.
The material hardly absorb any water, thus the makeup will remain on the puff surface instead of being absorbed all the way inside.It's super cooling as well!
This puff is also design to last for a very long time, unlike the normal puff that would get dirty and worn easily.



Easy Application

With the help of Air puff and sponge design base, the foundation can be easily apply with dabbing or stamping motion. No rubbing need, thus reduce friction on face :)
The formula for this foundation is quite watery, it sticks on my finger after tapping gentle on the base.
The Air Puff also make sure you don't pick up too much foundation as well. It creates a very soft looking base for your face.




Left : No foundation
Right : Foundation

Perfect Coverage

By using the finger filled with foundation, I slide gently on my face.
The coverage is good! As expected from Etude House Precious Mineral Series, their coverage is probably the best + dewy effect.
Normal makeup that leaves you with dewy skin doesn't have much coverage because of the moist content in the foundation have to be high to achieve dewy skin. But Etude House can maintain both!


 

Dewy Soft Skin

One of Korean's specialties are dewy and glowing skin! Most of the foundation have a very matte and dull look after application.
This foundation gives you the utmost shine that you need for you skin.
It contains not only mineral , and also pearl mineral powder with niacin amide, which is water soluble vitamin for healthier skin :)


 

Refillable

It is stated a PUSH under the casing.
Gently push it out, and you're able to replace the finish base with new ones!
I bet it's going to be cheaper too! Thought the price for refill have yet to be announce.




This foundation is just brilliant, I don't need to bring my brush , sponge or big bottle of foundation with me during my outings anymore!
Just very good for lazy girls like me :P

Coverage is just so good, I lost my words.
The formula is very liquid and it's able to cover all my pores as , with the sebum control function I don't need to worry about getting my pores block anymore.

The foundation might be a bit thin and too shine for some users. My suggestion is to apply a layer of powder to minimize the shine and increase coverage as well.



I recommend Etude House Precious Mineral BB Pact Bright Fit which I previously reviewed last year.

 Any Cushion Foundation (RP: RM109.90)
*update confirmed selling price RM99.90

For any new product launch or promotion, please follow MY ETUDE HOUSE ( Malaysia)

Overall : 4/5

p/s: it's a bit over price for a student like me :) so it's a good go for people who is actually working.

Koji - Dolly Wink Brown Lash Limited Edition + Vassen Berry Lens Review


Those who are followers of J-pop style makeup are sure getting excited about the new brown lash that Koji Announced a few months back.
They are arriving Malaysia NEXT WEEK!!

Presenting to you!!!
KOJI DOLLY WINK - BROWN LASH
LIMITED EDITION~


 You can of course read my submission/review before you buy~ but I am definitely going for the bottom lashes :P



Why so excited about chocolate lashes?
If you have blonde hair, or light color hair, sometimes apply black lashes looks very harsh on the entire look.
Brown Lashes works just fine on Light colored hair! super natural looking~ gives a bit of European look as well (European have brown or lighter lashes~)
Black lashes + Black eyeliner definitely kills off the European feel :'(


Especially Light Colored Hair makes you look
- PALE
-SICK
-TIRED

Overall it make you look shit! So a bit of Lashes is necessary.

In this review, I am given a bunch of Koji Stuff as well, I will be using
Line Beat Liner ( super good)
Koji New Glue (Super Sticky)
Eyebrow Kit (not shown)
The review will be up after 18th.(sorry I am having a lot of technical problem for blog review lately, especially I am lack of lightning, so my photos doesn't look like the old soft and sharp photos.)

101 - Feminine Chocolate

 

101 is very similar to Pure Sweet 11 but it's brown




Short but natural.
*thumbsup*



101 - Pure Chocolate 




It's a half lash. Another similar pattern to Pure Girl 15 but in brown.


For Half Lash, if you have very long eyes, it's crucial to apply mascara to pump up the look 1st.
For people who have natural big and short eyes, the half lash is long enough to cover the 2/3 of your eyelids.





It's so natural, I can barely see it after blending with my mascara.
Half Lash doesn't suit me because of my long eyes, I have a friend wore it just nice! because she have shorter eyes than me. And it's pretty.
Or you can mix it up with other lashes to use, such as 101 Feminine Brown



101 - Pure Chocolate 




This lash is a complete new design from Dolly Wink.
Resembles Real Nude 5 but add on much more strands and crisscross to volume up the lash look. 



The bottom lashes deserve a lots of love for me.
I am a cosplayer so I often do characters that are based on European look. 
This lashes really helped me a lot!

You can even use it for normal dark hair look~



The Brown Lash Series will be available next week!
If you would like get your hands on one pair, remember to like and follow their Facebook Page.


Give them a PM if you want to order any Koji Product Online!

~Happy  Dolly Wink~

Vanity Trove April - May Box , NEW CUSTOMIZABLE VANITY!! 2013

Hello everyone!

It's been long since I actually posted something, everything has went over the due date due to my classes are really packed with loads and loads of assignment, especially when a school have 60% marks on assignments ( no complains here, its way better than going to a school with 60% examination points ._. #truestorybro


Vanity Trove has been so kind ,providing me with 3 months complimentary gift box to try out their service and feedbacks.
So I'll will be posting 2 month in one go~
(I have not opened the packaging at all, omg the busy-ness)

April Edition

 As usual Vanity Trove's packaging is neat,fragrance, and pretty. Nothing was broke during the shipping process. I've always like their box design , like drawers. My mum love them a lot and forbid me to throw any box away.

CLARINS Intensive Brightening Serum
  RP : RM 295 (30ml)

I am not a very big fan of beauty products ( because I am quite lazy sometimes XD)
So I gave it to my mum, since she is a huge fan of whitening.
I kept 1 for myself . It's good, hydrating and not very thick, so it's easy for absorption.
It's hard to judge from 5 days of usage but CLARINS is a highly recommended skin product by almost every beauty blogger, so it's worth a try.


ISSEY MIYAKE Florale Perfume
RP : RM 350 (100ml)

I am using Moschino at the moment. Compared to Moschino it smell less sweet and fruity but it smell more flora and refreshing instead.


KILADOLL Sakura Mask

I am not sure how much is the retails price but I can't wait to try this out.
Sakura is a very good mask for oily skin, it really helps to moisture ur skin and helps reduce oil secretes for the whole day.


KATE Eyeshadow DB
RP : RM 49 (1.6g each)

I can't be happier for this product , makeup fanatic here.
Plus it's natural brown shade too! I saw some got silver blue , purple shades, I was hoping for something with color since I have loads of makeup with brown shade already . But I am still very happy.
Kate eyeshadow is super awesome for it's intensity and long lasting feature.


ORKIS Gemstone Nano Platinium Aqua Watery Cream
RP : RM 389 (50g)

First though, Ampule. I thought it was for hair but then it's for skin.
This product its not very "watery" as stated, a little greasy on the skin as well. I am living with a super oily skin already so this goes to my mum who had super dry skin :) she loves it.


PERKINS Nail Wrap
RP : RM 39.90 

If you are too lazy to apply nail polish, Perkins is your choice. It comes with various different design, I got mine in vivid aqua with diamonds( not my style ) , some got flora or beads.



May Edition - Mothers Day
Mother's Day is just around the corner when I receive the parcel, and of course my mum thought I would pass the box to her , so it's opened when she signed it for me. (she is more excited than I am , constantly asking whether my reviews are done so she can have the anti aging and whitening products that she liked)

This month's series " Awesome Wholesome"
Yes definitely awesome because it have so many products that I have not seen it before.
Worth a shot~


Not a voucher or brochure person~ YOLO

Skinlab TILLEY Goat Milk Soap
RP : RM12 Each

SkinLab Pure South Fresh Goat's Milk Body Lotion
RP : RM55 (255ml)

Why is goat milk good for our skin? 
- Natural Cleanser used at ancient times.
-rejuvenating effects on skin cells
-Anti - aging
-Contains vitamin A, and several B vitamins including riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12.
The Lotion is very hydrating and it's soften my skin instantly .
Good for people who is sitting in an air conditioned room everyday.


Heaven on Earth Pure Essential Oil Lavender 
RP : RM50 (5ml)

Lavender is known for it's special ability to calm people into dreams.
It can also be used to treat acne and sooth insects bite.
A drop on palms, rub to create heat and apply on your desired area. 
I apply on my face before bed time to make it easier for me to sleep.


 SCHWARZOPF Essensity Natural Shine Serum - Sesame
RP : RM56 (50ml)

Another full sized product. I love any hair product with natural oil from seeds.
Serum is best used when hair is still moist/wet for super good absorption.
It's feather light, less greasy than the salon product I bought during my visit for hair perming.
It's good for people who have dry and frizzy hair like mine.


 Lastly it's Hi-Shop Shopping voucher!! 
RM25! good I can now buy any makeup product that I like.
