Etude House Silk Scarf Double Care Hair Mask review

Etude House Silk Scarf Double Care Hair Mask

You know a product is good if you want to repurchase it the moment you finish using it. This happens to be one of those products.

Thankfully there are instructions in English

For those who are new to this blog, you know how much I care about the health of my hair. If you type of "hair" in the search --> you are bound to find loads of posts relating to hair.

the mask

pros:

• smells nice
• works and easy to use
• made hair so silky, soft and smooth!
• cheaper (compared to professional salons)

cons:

• too many steps + very time consuming (wash and dry and apply and wash and dry...)
• the cap part was slightly troublesome (how can I tell all the essence was properly rubbed in?)
• expensive (compared to other home hair masks -  $5 USD)
• only lasted for 5 days

the shower cap also had its own ingredients to help with making your hair feel silky smooth

I will definitely be purchasing this hair mask again! I loved my hair! It made my hair so silky smooth and smelled so good!! But because of the hefty price tag (and you can only use it once), I might save my future purchases for special occasions.

Etude House Tear Eye Liner #WH901 review

Hey Everyone, I sincerely apologize for the lack of reviews... I have been stressing over a lot of things lately (personal, work, etc). So I wasn't able to focus on writing reviews (I have a lot of drafts sitting in my drafts folder waiting to be written...). But at last... I finally completely a review! :D

product

The other day, I was shopping at Lumine in Shinjuku, and I came across Etude House (I love Korean Cosmetics). I decided to walk in and see what new products they have. I saw their Tear Eye Liner and was curious... the description said it was an eye liner for your tear and under eye water line. Because this product was so intriguing, I bought it.

Since the best selling one seemed to be #WH901, I bought it! We have all been waiting for a product like this, some times, we try to put some light shimmery eye shadow at the bottom of our eyes to brighten them... BUT... the shimmery does not last so long. This is the perfect solution, it literally stays on as long as eye liner.

applicator

The applicator was very fine, it made it easy to apply! (in fact, much easier than regular eye liner). The applicator made precise strokes.

with product

You can instantly see results... I don't have to say much... :P It really brightens up the eyes and makes you look so much more awake. You can also see how my dark circles are less obvious.

without product

Before discovering this product, I would always use eye shadows to brighten up my eyes, but after using this product, I realized how the effect is so much better than a regular eye shadow. I highly recommend it!

how product looks...

All you need is one stroke.

impressions:

• very easy to apply
• makes eyes look so bright!
• love this product
• easy to remove with eye make up remover (even with the sparkles :D)

This is a special product and a very innovative one. Who knew that one thin stroke can make such a huge difference on our overall finished look! It was very easy to apply but I also found it annoying to get rid of the sparkles... but all that can e fixed with using an eye make up remover!

Etude House Eye Mascara Remover review

Etude House Mascara Remover

I went online and found Etude House's Mascara Remover so I decided to give it a try... since the most annoying part of removing make up is waterproof Mascara (cringes).

tagline: one shot clean
amount: 80ml


ingredients:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Water, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Dipropylene Glycol, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Rosa Centifolia Flower Water, Sodium Chloride, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Allantoin, Betaine, Benzophenone-4, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance(Parfum), Red 4 (CI 14700), Blue 1 (CI 42090)

how it looks after I shake it

To use it, you need to shake it, that is to blend the water and oil elements together to make them work together to remove your eye make up/mascara.

before and after on eyes

I tried this Mascara Remover and wow... I was shocked at the results... it seemed that most of the eye make up products from my eyes were gone! :) There was a slight stinging feeling (but nothing compared to the stinging feeling I got from Clinique's Make up remover).

But of course, to really see how effective it was... I had to do a test on my hand just to see how amazing it really is

products used correspond to the products on my hand

These are the products I decided to use for this test, and they correspond to the lines on my hand:

1. Kate eye shadow palette
2. Kate Super Sharp eye liner
3. Maybelline's Falsie waterproof mascara
4. Maybelline's Express Turbo Boost mascara

results

As you can see, the waterproof eye mascara and the normal eye mascara were literally wiped off (I only wiped it off once). The Eye Liner is still slightly showing and the eye shadow literally disappeared... I am extremely impressed.

Impressions:

• really removes make up off completely
• slight stinging sensation to sensitive eye area skin
• very mild "creamy" smell
• easy to clean eye after this is applied

I was really impressed with the results shown on my eye and my hand... this remover did a perfect job removing most of the products out and stinging was very minimal... the price is extremely reasonable... and if I do need to purchase it again, I will!
