Etude House: OMG! Dry Shampoo Review

 Just something quick. A dry shampoo.

I am quite new to the dry shampoo scene after buy my first can of dry shampoo three months ago after starting to travel around and having to be up early with not enough time to wash my hair as often as I'd like so, my hair started its natural process of gathering oil. However, after finishing up my can I was on the hunt for another and found this while on a Etude House haul and it seemed like a perfect match.
Beautiful pop art style packaging!

As for the actual product it's fine. Not the best, I'm a huge fan of Batiste as their range is extensive for hair types, colours and for dry shampoo scents and sadly Etude House's dry shampoo doesn't live up to it. It does the job, no doubt, but the scent is of cheap shampoo and conditioner which is not a favourite of mine.

So if you're looking for something cute and that does the job of absorbing oils this is wonderful but beware of the scent!

Etude House Etoinette Lovely Perfume Candle Set

I'm not much of a candle person but have recently splurged on a few scent candles from different companies and saw these for day ( $23) and couldn't pass on these so treated myself.
They come packed in a cute, pale pink box and the candles themselves are matching. They smell so strongly of roses it's unreal. I removed them from the box a few days ago and started using the box to store dice in and now the box and my dice smell strongly of roses!

I love these candles, don't get me wrong. They are lovely and perfect for the Etoinette range, which is just beautiful however there are air bubbles around the plastic covering of the glass. Which is annoying. I tried removing them and thought I succeeded but they somehow returned? It doesn't ruin them too much thankfully though.


As for burning they seem to burn quite quickly and after the initial slow start, as with all new candles, burn brightly and smell lovely throughout.

Review - Tonymoly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar

left to right- Juicy Strawberry, Neon Red, Neon Orange and Juicy Cherry.

I decided to buy Tonymoly's much talked about product - Bunny Gloss Bars. The cute and vibrant design had me hooked instantly and with a good price ( ranging from $6 to $12) I decided to dive in and buy.

After wearing all these colours for a good few weeks or so I decided I really dislike them. It's a long nagging list of reasons too and I feel terrible for it as they look so cute - how could I hurt their feelings?!
However, the colours themselves didn't exactly show. I expected them to be sheer and pale but after 2-3 hours the colours would be gone anyway and you would have to keep reapplying throughout the day.
I didn't exactly find them moisturising, they were fine but again, that wore off after 30 minutes maybe? Anyway, onto the arm swatch. I applied every colour twice. first would be one coat and then the next would be two.

I would usually have to wear 2-3 coats of Juicy Strawberry - I found Juicy Strawberry was perfect at keeping my lips subtle as I tried to fill in my eyebrows, and keep them dark!
Neon Red was really close to my natural pigment so all that really did was add shine!
Neon Orange was a shockingly nice colour, I bought it to see how an orange would look and it was lovely, subtle so that my natural colour showed through it but I wouldn't know how to wear it just yet.
Juicy Cherry was very red and if worn by itself with my naturally sparse eyebrows then would look nice!
 All in all, I feel like I bought too many, two would be fine, one light one dark.

                               

                               

Juicy Strawberry, Neon Red, Neon Orange (which didn't show up in the photo) and Juicy Cherry.

Another down side is, after awhile, you can't twist down the gloss any more. So that is a bit of a problem, you have to actually push it down with your finger.

Tomorrow is Tonymoly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar - swatches and review.

Review: Etude House - My Lash Serum.

Hello, and today is a review on Etude House's My Lash Serum which I've been using for a week total now!

What this serum claims to do is prevent lash fall out and promote healthy, longer lashes.

When I initially received the serum it was clear but with everyday use turns cloudy. It has a typical mascara wand applicator and has a subtle scent.
On the first two days I applied it during the afternoon which was a big mistake, I think; it feels wet, and takes around 10 minutes to dry once on your eyes - you can feel it on before the 10 minutes and can't really do much when waiting for it to dry. Due to it being so watery it felt as if it had gone in my eye, and I don't usually have sensitive eyes but this seemed to irritate them slightly for a good 20 minutes. I wouldn't recommend using this as a primer as I've heard some doing. I would however recommend using this just before going to bed and the second you wake up like I did after the second day.

Picture first thing this morning - I haven't curled them, this is just them naturally.

I have straight, short lashes that tend to fall out because they're quite dry but since using this for the past week my lash fall out has reduced a lot! And I feel like my lashes can hold a curl better when using an eyelash curler, which they never could before.

For the price, ranging from $6.99 to $10, I honestly believe this is a great product but you will probably go through a tube in about 5-7 weeks however I will definitely be repurchasing.
I'll be doing an update in three weeks to see if there are any further results.
