Happy birthday to me! ─=≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つ

This came in the mail while I was away at school, but I've been wearing this a lot recently!
This is the Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in #6 Grapefruit Jelly.



The packaging is plastic, but I don't mind very much. It's in the shape of a bubble and fits nicely in my hand. I also love the puff it comes with. It's not the best applicator out there but it's cute and handy if you're on the go. It's super girly which is pretty cute too. I love Korean packaging ♥


These Lovely Cookie Blushers come in a good amount of shades, ranging from sugary pink to orange. Overall I'd say these suit fairer skin types. The pigmentation is pretty sheer, but the texture is incredibly smooth and light. It doesn't have much of a smell. This shade in particular seems well suited for spring!


For the novelty of the packaging and my love for Etude House, it might be worth it for you to check these cuties out. ✧*。

There's shea butter in the middle.


You're supposed to crumple the product in your hand under running water for it to start dissolving and creating bubbles. It was kinda sad to break it I admit..


Just half of it makes so much bubbles! And the water turns into a milky green colour which I thought was cool. You can also faintly smell the scent. After the bath I noticed that my skin felt a lot smoother, but it wasn't anything too drastic. I'm excited to use the rest of GREEN and the other bubble bar I got!

If you want to try something new, then a bubble bar is a fun way to go. I'm definitely gonna try out more!

The first of many reviews to come from my recent haul!
This is the lipstick I ended up purchasing after that MAC fiasco. It's also my first Lancôme product. I feel like Lancôme is one of those brands that you see your mom buying from when you're younger.. I feel so grown up haha.

I wanted something rather natural looking that enhanced the look of my lips, rather than masking or changing the colour completely.

So.... I splurged ;A; A lot of my makeup is running out/expiring so I went to MAC and Sephora before going home this week. We don't have a MAC store in my hometown so I was excited to try them out. (I usually buy my makeup from Shoppers Drug Mart orz. I was overwhelmed by the department store feeling lol)
If you follow my Twitter then you probably know that I'm not too happy with MAC right now lmao.

A quick snapshot of only some of the things that I got (I'll explain why later)

I got so many samples form Sephora for signing up with their beauty insider thing... I love samples ♥. Especially that Prada eau de toilette.. that's a pretty large sample! :O

The MAC lipstick I originally purchased though got switched out... misplaced... whatever.... with another shade somehow. Instead of a light, nude-ish shade they gave me this:


As you can see, the above colour is nothing what I described lmao ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ

But honestly what the hell? How do you mess up which shade of lipstick you bring to the counter when they all have names? XD What happened was this lady was helping me pick out a shade and then when I decided she went and pulled out on of the boxes from the drawer, brought it up to the counter herself and then asked me to wait in queue to be checked out. Forgetting the name of the product I chose, it was silly of me to just trust someone to pick out the right shade.

Effectively I had to go back to the mall the next day and return it, which put me in a sour mood and left a sour impression on MAC for me. The representative was also a bit sarcastic as well, which didn't make it any better. I used the money from returning it to spend at Sephora. So there. D:

Because I had to go back to the mall to return that lipstick, I then decided to check out Sephora once more to get a different lipstick. (I ended up with a Lancome one which I love)

I also decided to get a couple of the cheaper bubble bars from LUSH, which I can use when I go back home. (LUSH is another store we don't have there huhu)

Expect many reviews in the future ヾ(。◣∀◢。)ノ
