Etude House: Silk Scarf Hair Shampoo Review

Tags: Beauty, Etude House, Hair, Hair Care, Shampoo, Korean, Review, Silk Scarf hair Shampoo, Skin Care, 

There was a time early this year that I began realizing that I am purchasing so much make-up that I don't even use (still got tons of untouched make-up stored away in my box). Likewise with skin care! So I started rationalizing my purchases. So I began buying hair care products. Given the limitation that Etude House here in my country, I was only able to get this.

Tony Moly: Latte Art Cappuccino Cream-In Scrub Review

One of the most interesting products of Tony Moly that I kept on touching while I was in their store was the Latte Art Cappuccino Cream-In Scrub. Why? See for yourself.

Isn't it such a curious little thing?

Etude House: Silk Scarf - Hologram Hair Serum Review

Don't you just hate it when your hair is all frizzy and has this off scent when it's already noon? I had that in mind when I got Etude House's Silk Scarf Hologram Hair Serum.

Or was I just putting out reason to buy this? 

Beauty Credit: Lovely Powder Pact Matt in #23 Natural Beige Review

When I was back in Subic, I was able to drop by this Beauty Credit store (perhaps the only accredited Beauty Credit reseller here in my country). One of the items I picked is this really, really cute pact.

Meet my Lovely Powder Pact Matt in #23 Natural Beige.

Haru's Product Haul: March - June (Etude House, Missha, Nature Republic, The Body Shop, Benefit)

I know, I know. I've been so absent lately. So long hiatus in posting here! It's not that I'm lazy. I'm so swamped with work for since April til June, with my long-awaited promotion is in jeopardy. It's a make-or-break, so I had to allocate time.

But since I'm in somewhat calm waters right now (or burned out to do anything), I've decided to finally post. When I wasn't posting, it doesn't mean I'm not trying out stuff. I did try a lot of stuff (which adds more backlog than I already have). And I hauled. A LOT. Last haul I posted was last January, which makes such a good time to show my hauls since March til June.

Haru's Random Thoughts: Missed Posting!

Hey Everyone!

It's been crazily busy with the sudden turn of events. So busy that I cannot even construct a decent review. And I am very well aware of my backlogs. Which is tons! 

Work had been really crazy since the start of this year, and for the past month, I've been working on 10-12 hours a day. Boo, no overtime pay. 

Then again, I'm also preoccupied with tons of non-work related stuff, which I can easily summarize in the following photos (all thanks to my iPhone. I don't have to bring that heavy camera around):

Nature Republic: Fresh Farm Apple Foam Cleanser Review

Hi everyone. I know I've been very quiet in my blog lately. So sorry bout that. Been busy with work and Guild Wars 2 so much that I barely had time for writing a review. But I assure you I've been trying a lot of stuff lately. Plus a handful of backlogs of products!

I decided to post this today, because I recently had a mini-heart attack. I know I took photos of this post's product review, but I can't find it! I thought I accidentally deleted it. My recent most catalogue of product swatches are in my work computer, but the newer shots are in my house laptop. I tend to overwrite my house laptop after I update my work computer. But in this case, I seemed to have overwritten it. Luckily, I had a back-up. Phew! This has been a long introduction, so on with the review!

On my first haul in Nature Republic, when the store was only days old in Megamall, I was able to accumulate enough to earn myself their membership card. With this came a wonderful freebie!

Do all good things come in as freebies?

The Face Shop: Lovely ME:EX Milky Tint in 01 Baby Pink Review

There was a phase in my make-up life that I simply loved milky tints. I loved them so much that I bought colors from various brands such as Peripera, Etude House and The Face Shop. It didn't matter if I had duplicate colors across the brands (example: peach from Peripera, The Face Shop and Etude House). I absolutely love them.

Since I've reviewed on my Peripera Milky Tint, let's move to The Face Shop.Do note that this is one of the 2 colors I bought from them. Meet The Face Shop's Lovely ME:EX Milky Tint in 01 Baby Pink.

Haru's Product Haul February - March 5, 2013 (Missha, Nature Republic, Etude House and Skinfood)

I know I haven't been posting lately - work, personal life, and health issues. Been sick for the past few days, and such a horrible timing too!

Since I'm sick, I don't normally try new items. Most of my skin care is currently at HG items (except for facial wash, hehe!). Likewise to some make-up.

However, what I was busy to for the past few days was hauling items. Yes, hauling. And almost every week, I would get something off the store.

See what are my recent hauls!

Etude House: Follow Me Tint SPF 13 in #1 Vary Pink Review

Good sunny day to everyone! It's a good Saturday noon that there seems nothing for me to do. Which is so odd. I would like to go out and frolic somewhere - like eat in a good Japanese resto I'm eyeing at. Sadly, I'm stuck at home. So I decided to put in a review. Afterall, when was my last review?

In love, no matter how much you like the person but it seems that you aren't a good match. And what's left of you to do is to let go. And this is EXACTLY how I felt with Etude House's Follow Me Tint SPF 13 #1 Vary Pink.

Nature Republic: Blemish Lab Clear Spot Solution Review

Sorry for being absent lately! Work's been crazy. A lot has happened, and I'd do my best to make it up to you by posting 2 unique products. Well, at least for my blog that is. 

Lately, acne had been a terrible problem for me. So terrible that I had to try new items so as I can prevent them from growing. It's been stressful for the last few months and in it will again still be in the coming months.

I got this from my first Nature Republic haul. And I have to be honest with you on the fact that I have no background research when I bought this.

Will it help alleviate my acne woes?

Tony Moly: Shiny Foot Peeling Liquid Review

Because of my slippers weekend habit, and slippers all day in Boracay, my feet became dry and rough. It also gave me cracked heels. I thought of scrubbing it, but scrubbing just make it hurt. So the thought of using peeling liquid crossed my mind. Then again, anything peeling-related scares me. I have skin allergies and was diagnosed with skin asthma when I was a child. Now, it occurs only on specific occasions but not as horrible as when I was younger.

My mom actually was the one who introduced the concept of peeling liquid. And as of this writing, she had tried it twice. She saw it in some show few months back, and inquired to me about it. So I got her the one (from Tony Moly also), with the disclaimer, "I haven't tried it myself so I'm not entirely sure if this brand is effective or what." I guess she was happy with the results that's why she asked me to buy her another set. And that's when I had the courage to buy one for myself.

Will this work? I'm pretty anxious to find out.

***WARNING: This is going to be a long post/review. Brace yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you. Oh, and from the disgusting peeling foot photo.

Haru's Product Haul: January 17, 2013 (Nature Republic)

During my stressful moments last week, I purchased quite a number of items - both makeup and non-makeup related. I wasn't suppose to pass by Nature Republic, but I just had this feeling I should.

And it turned out they have a 50% off sale on selected items. As usual, I can't resist!

Luckily, only a few items were left. Good thing for my pocket. Check out my modest haul after the jump.

Tony Moly: Perfect Micro Scrub Foam Review

Hi everyone! Sorry for being out for so long. Work has been its unusual hectic self so I barely had the time to post something. It's been all about OTYs and my boss being all weird, so we had no choice but to stand up for ourselves. It was so busy that sleep had been subsidized. But hey, it's again the calm before the storm, so better make the most of out it.

This review is a long delayed one. It should have followed right after the Floria Flower Energy Foam Cleanser Review, but hey, my current job puts pays my bills so it triumphed over my hobby. 

I was on a scout for a good facial scrub that will match my skin. And before, Latte Art Cappuccino Cream-In Scrub was too darn expensive for a trial in Tony Moly's skin care line. So the SA gave me this since it was the next scrub available. And it was positioned beside the Floria Foam Cleanser. Why not take it? Afterall, this is just an experiment... On my face. 

Please be nice to me!

Haru's Product Haul: January 4, 2013 (Tony Moly)

Last Friday, I was given an opportunity to go to the mall and pick up some items. My mom asked me to buy her something from Tony Moly, so I went there.

And of course I cannot just go there without anything for me. 

Did you notice the new design of Tony Moly's paperbag? Cute, isn't it?

Tony Moly: Floria Flower Energy Foam Cleanser Review

Before the week ends, I shall make a review. It's been quite busy again since I started to go to work (when I should have been on leave). I will be moving my offsets to another date. Hehehe. And I've got plenty of them. My boss is being very biased with me and my plotting of my leaves. She tends to favor my other colleagues more over me. She's very irrational and forgetful when it comes to my leave schedule. So unfair of her. And I don't even know what I did to her to be treated this way. So good luck with me plotting my leaves.

Enough with my work-related woes, on to the review!

I did mention last October that I bought Floria Flower Energy Foam Cleanser because I was in search of a good cleanser. So I've been using this since November, along with Perfect Mirco Scrub Foam. And I bet it's about time I share with you my thoughts about this. 

Tony Moly: Mineral Skin-Fit Snow Blusher in #03 Rose Pink Review

Sorry for not posting as consistent as before. When the holidays are over, I will try my best to post more. :) I have A LOT of leaves set for next year, thanks to my extreme overtime since October. 

And my pile of unused make-up is getting bigger. Must use them!

One of the items I did show you few posts back was the Mineral Skin-Fit Blusher I bought out of whim. And I've been using this for a few months already.

Will this become a staple in my make-up pouch?

Product Review: Wide Nails PP401

Wide Nails. Face it with one of my Rei Ayanami figures. 

During my last trip to the Face Shop I decided to break my P100.00/polish rule and I purchased the Wide Nails variation of the nail polishes. This nail polish is for P295.00. So how was it different from the other P100.00 polishes? Well the brush is actually more flat than the ordinary polish. This actually made the application of the polish easier. 

Product Review: Etude House Princess 3D Mask

Princess 3D Mask with my Japanese wax doll :) (Japan and Korea right there) 

This is already a late product review. Actually I haven't been able to do much product reviews as of late. As you can see we've been pretty busy (and I mean really busy) these past few weeks, actually this weekend is the first weekend that I've had to myself for a long time. Although I did have to write 17 articles for a client- so I wouldn't really call it a 'weekend to myself'. 

So even with the deadline of 17 articles over the weekend I still wanted to insert this product review :) 

I actually have products to review already. They are all lined up and I've been using most of them already so I guess that's a good thing since I would have more to write about ;) 

The Face Shop: Clean Face Oil Free Sun Cream Review

So you thought I'd end the week without a post. You're wrong.

One thing about holidays is that my projects seem to kill me when holidays are about to come, so I'd be too busy doing work. Too busy not to buy or do something holiday-related. Yes, I am part of the group who did a mad Christmas rush in bazaars and malls just because I haven't got anyone anything 2 weeks before Christmas.

Enough with the holiday talk, let's get to the review!

One of the things I brought with me on my 4-day birthday vacation was 3 items that protect me from the sun. One of them was The Face Shop's Clean Face Oil Free Sun Cream.

Does this look familiar to you? This seems closely resembles their discontinued Quick & Clean Oil Free Sun Cream. They even carry the same SPF and PA category.

Will this be a good replacement to its elder sister?
