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.

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!

Coming soon: Posts!

Hey everyone,

I am finishing up the end of the semester and I'll be able to blog very soon!  Just one more week to go!  I will, however, promise a post for this coming Wednesday featuring the BB creams I purchased recently.  It is a post I am really looking forward to, and I made sure to take swatches while I was at home with my camera.  Also, I signed up for Beauty Army so look for that post in the next few weeks (and Eco-Emi!  I still have to put up March's....!! I'm behind, sorry!)

So there are a lot of exciting posts that I cannot wait to do.  Please look forward to them!  I apologize for not being able to update but I can at least do teasers ;]  Have a lovely evening!

LOTD 3/27/12 & Updates?

Woah, hey. Long time no post.  I have been buried in papers, studying, and life in general.  I really want to post much more!  But for now I can only come at you guys with a look of the day (LOTD).  I have been obsessed with neutral looks lately (which I never saw the appeal of neutral looks...until I got lazy coordinating my eyeshadow with my outfit for the day).  And I love pairing a neutral eye with a bright lip color.  Hence, my look today!

Products used: 

The Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals cream foundation (105 rose ivory)

MAC Mineralized Skin Finish (Medium Plus)

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Maybelline Color Tattoo (Tough as Taupe)

Shiro eye shadow (S.S. Anne, Boomerang, Perfect World)

Wet 'n Wild Mega Liner (black)

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush (40 pink plum)

The Body Shop Honey Bronzer (02 fair matte)

Revlon lip butter (080 Strawberry Shortcake)

I wanted to get a quick post up before I wander off to my Japanese class.  UPDATE!  I ordered a few BB creams from eBay and Missha, so I will be posting about those very soon after I get them!  Plus the March Eco-Emi is out for delivery sometime this week, and there will be a post about that too.  (I also need to make a post about the Love VoxBox from Influenster....should get around to that sometime, huh? haha).  Indeed, I am very behind on posts, but once I'm done with my final term papers, I will have much more time to post for you guys :)

Alright, I am off to my class!  Have a lovely day! xoxo
