Etude House: Sweet Eye Cupcake REVIEW

#3 Peach & Honey
Review and swatches
에뛰드하우스 스위트아이컵케익 (Menu 3.달콜한꿀복숭아)

I recently ordered this eye shadow duo by Etude House from a seller on eBay.  I was really satisfied with the time of shipping (seriously, only a week and a few days all the way from South Korea? That's fast shipping!), the price of the product, quality of the product, and the friendliness of the seller.  I actually added this to my order of Shini Star lip balms to get a few extra samples shameless.

Most recent hauls: Target & Korean cosmetics

I hauled some really good items recently that I would like to share with you all.  The first haul comes from Target, and the second is from a local Korean cosmetics shop in my town.  Follow the jump to see what goodies I got!


LOTD (4/30/12): Tribute to the Hero of Time

Hey everyone!  I think it's kind of odd that every time I haven't posted in a while I come back with a look of the day (LOTD)...  But this one is good, I promise!  The reason this look came about was because I was swatching all of the green eyeshadows I own from Shiro Cosmetics, and I just wanted a dark smoldering green eye.  And then I realized I was using shadows all from the Legends collection...so I had to dedicate this look to the one and only Hero of Time: Link!  I am a huge fan of classic video games (a lot of this new stuff is just meh), and Legend of Zelda is no exception.  Link is my all-time favorite hero.  Earlier in January I beat Ocarina of Time 3D (first time I had ever played through the game; I never made it through the Deku Tree in the N64 version! too scary!) and I'm currently still playing through Master Quest.

Okay, enough about that.  Let's get to the look!


It's not too smokey but it's not all bright and pastel and sparkling, either.  It's very balanced and works very well with the image Link gives.  Jump behind the break and see what I used!  And this LOTD is different from my other ones.  I took pictures as I did my makeup, so there's a step-by-step guide on how I achieved the look.  Enjoy!
