Hi everyone!

I will be sharing my second purchase experience in Etude House, Festival Mall, Alabang. Just a brief background about this brand/store, Etude House Philippines (part of AGC family) is a global beauty brand through its commitment to beauty, youth and innovation. Their products are Korean inspired. 

I've been wanting to re-purchase from them for quite some time now but I am waiting for their SALE. Then after I received their email stating that they will have Private SALE, I made up my mind that I want to go see their products again. :) Yey!

The email I received state the details of the SALE.  :)

Etude House Philippines will be having a 20% OFF SALE in ALL Etude House stores on ALL ITEMS this September 17, 18 & 19, 2013.

The sale for Pink Members only was last Sept 16 then for non -members was last Sept. 17 - 19.  I am a Pink card holder which makes me a Pink Member. haha :) You can avail a Pink Membership Card if you purchase at least Php 500 single receipt. You can earn points using that. :) 

By the way, this is what the pink membership card looks like. It's kinda cute though :) 

Their packaging is a cute pink paper bag. With a doll house theme. :)

Moving on to the products that I bought. 
I picked up some products for my eyebrows. 
I just want to share to you why I really really like this products. 

First item is my all time favorite Etude Color my brows in #2 light brown 

The front part of the packaging indicates the name of the product and the shade. Other things about the products are written in Korean language so I obviously do not understand that. haha

When you look at the back, you can find the instructions on how to use it and infos about the product. It says that it is a brow mascara that moisten and add color to your eyebrow hair. 

You will see the tube when you open it. The color of the cover and the tube is what the color of the product or make up itself. That makes it easy to know. You don't have to bother look for a tester or open it to swatch. I think there is another shade which is in Dark Brown, but I prefer to use this one :) because I already have a dark eyebrow hairs so I want it to be more lighter. 

I love the cute brown tube, which is very handy. The wand looks like a mascara but instead of a black more intense color, you can see a light brown color. There's a bit shimmer in it but it doesn't bother me. I find this also so easy to use. 

Left: Blended ; Right: Unblended

Here's the swatch :) You can noticeably see all the shimmers when it is swatched on the skin.  When it sits on the hairs and dries up the shimmer will be unnoticeable. And the light brown color turns into light-orangey hues when it touch the skin.  For the first few weeks, the consistency is gel-like and intact, but it suddenly turns into water-like appearance which makes it messy to apply.It dries up in less that 2 minutes. I also observed that it is hard to remove when it touches the skin. I mean it stains the skin pretty tough hehe so I really advise you that as much as possible apply this product to the eyebrow hairs only. Another thing that I do is minimize the product on the wand so I can lessen the possibility that the product will touch the skin, I just built up the color so I get the desired shade. The smell is like the smell of mascara. It's fine with me because it's not that overpowering (unless you put your product really close to your nose) :) The price is so affordable, I got this one for only Php 278.40 (regular price: Phpo 348). 

Next item that I got was Etude Easy Brow Pencil in #2 Brown, I previously got the pencil in #1 Black Brown but I think it makes my eyebrows more darker. So I switch on using #2 instead :) The other shades are #3 Black  and #4 Dark Grey. I also used Drawing Eyebrow before. I will have 
I just used this pencil to outline the shape of my eyebrows. I fill my brows with an eyebrow cake/powder. You can use any dark brown or brown shade whatever you prefer. For me, I really love this one. :)

The packaging is in light pink pencil shape hard plastic tube.All their products are so cute, hehe very pretty and girlie hehe. 

Ofcourse, it's just the cover so when you open it you can see the pencil itself and a brow brush on the other end. What I love about this product is how I use this with ease. We all know that there are other eyebrow pencil products like this that we can choose from but I really prefer using this one. :) When you open the long part you will see the pencil and on the other end is the brush. I use the brush after I apply the Color my Brows eyebrow gel. 

Here's the swatch. :) 

Why did I say that I use this with ease? Because I can apply it within seconds without even worrying that it might not be perfect. It's light brown color is so good for outlining, you just need to pull the color to the gaps of your eyebrows, blend it and fill in the brows. You can't even notice that I outlined it before filling in :) I heard that this product is smudge-proof which I find not true for me. I have oily skin so it will definitely smudge if you rub it. But it will stay put for 8 hrs with the help of eyebrow powder :) The price is good for only Php 128 but I got this one for only Php 102.40 sale price. 

By the way, I use NYX Eyebrow Cake/Powder in Taupe/Ash to fill in my brows aside from this pencil.

I also got a 2 pc-sponge, hehe, I already used 1 of the sponges :)

I will definitely repurchase this products <3 

You can visit their website here http://www.etudehouse.ph/home.aspx. You can see all their products there.

Hopefully I can do a step by step photos on how I do my brows or more probably a video. :) 

Thanks! 

Genevieve Gozum Accesories in Festivall Mall, Alabang

After almost a year of not blogging, I've recently decided to blog only if I have time (because of my work schedule ^,^). Anyway, my first blog this 2013 is about Genevieve Gozum in Festivall Mall, Alabang. I purposely went there to buy belt and accessories. I really love the accessories of Genevieve because of the styles and for me, they are wearable in most of the occassions that I am attending and for casual days also.
I am not really sure if this is the Genevieve store in Festivall Mall, but most of their stores usually looks like this.

I think the stores are kinda cute that's why I always enter their store and check if there is something I like or if there are SALE items.

Let's go back on me buying belt and accessories. Some of the belts are on SALE and that's good but most of them are with 0.5 width only, I prefer using belts with 1 inch width so unfortunately for me I did not buy any belts. Hehe. Then I checked the accessories section then I saw 2 cute pairs of earrings and a black/silver bracelet with cross shape and logo of Genevieve in it.

First earring that I got is a silver cat with clear gems in it. Then the second is a pair of cute nerdy girl. I love the sunglasses that's why I bought it Haha. Then lastly is the bracelet, I like this so much that I want to buy the other colors as well. It is like a rosary bracelet and I admire the clear gems embedded in the cross shape. I think it is so cool. :) I usually wear this almost everyday. I think I will go get the other colors. Other than the black, I like the silver and red one. The prices are so affordable, I got the cat earring for Php 60 - 75 only (I already forgot the exact price), the nerdy girl for Php 60 also and the bracelet for Php 100. For me it is worth spending for these cute accessories. :) I never tried buying clothes there because I think the sizes are really small for me.

Whenever I go to Festivall Mall, I usually go to Genevieve first before going anywhere else hehehe I really love the stuffs there.

Hope you can check out their stores too and appreciate their products.

Thanks for reading!
