⚪️🔵 ETUDE HOUSE HAUL

Before this, it was quite hard to get my hands on Etude House products "physically" because all of the stores are quite far from where I live. A couple of month ago, a new one opened up and I just have to try their products and see their magic in helping us with our skincaring 🤗

USAGE

It is just like any sunblock. The tube design is easy to put in your hands and just lather it on your face

EXPERIENCE

The super long name itself literally means a sunblock😎. Yes, the one that we use whenever we are exposed to Ultraviolet Radiation (UV) is not good for our skin. Sunblocks are used as a shield to protect our skin from such bad exposure. Buttt, you do need sunlight (Vitamin D) that it has but not too much as you don't want to burn your skin. So, using a sunblock helps and protects your skin. One thing that I don't really like about sunblocks is the grey residue that some might have due to its white consistency. When you put it on your face, it doesn't blend well. But not this one. This is dope 😎

PROS

- Absorb easily

- Smells nice

- Doesn’t oil up my face

CON

• Alcohol acts as a solvent but it tends to dry some skin types

• Fragrance is not suitable for sensitive skin

I probably recommend this for people who wants to try out an ampoule. Other than propolis, they also have real centella and hyaluronic acid ampoules.

⚪️SoonJung Lip Balm (Natural Red)

CLAIMS

“Daily lip balm formulated without fragrance ingredients keeps the lips moisturized.”

HIGHLIGHTS

- Moisture the lips

- Help with dry lips

COLORS

A light red color

WHO CAN USE

Dry lips peeps!

TEXTURE

Moist and glossy

SCENT

Like any typical lipbalm (no fragrance)

PACKAGING

The use of white color overall give the impression of minimalist yet attractive

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

RM 36.00 and available at any stores

USAGE

It is convenient just like any normal lipstick products. Just open up the cap and apply it on your lips as much as you like

EXPERIENCE

My history with lip balm is quite short. I used some from Nivea, Burt's bee and the Laneige lip mask. Trying out this new one is a good deal because I like the natural red color. It looked natural on my lips and of course, like any lip balms, you need to reapply after you eat😅. It gives the right kind of moisture and I think that it is good they don't put any fragrances.

PROS

- Moisture

- Subtle color

- Help with dry lips

CON

- Have to reapply after eating which is obvious right? Haha

INGREDIENTS

#NATURAL RED: HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL, POLYGLYCERYL-2 TRIISOSTEARATE, PHYTOSTERYL/ISOSTEARYL/CETYL/STEARYL/BEHENYL DIMER DILINOLEATE, OCTYLDODECANOL, HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED WAX, RICINUS COMMUNIS (CASTOR) SEED OIL, HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL DIMER DILINOLEATE, EUPHORBIA CERIFERA (CANDELILLA) WAX / CANDELILLA CERA HYDROCARBONS / CIRE DE CANDELILLA, CARMINE (CI 75470), TRIBEHENIN, PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS (SWEET ALMOND) OIL, PERSEA GRATISSIMA (AVOCADO) OIL, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, SORBITAN OLIVATE, TRIHYDROXYSTEARIN, MALTODEXTRIN, TOCOPHEROL, PANTHENOL, WATER / AQUA / EAU, MADECASSOSIDE

VERDICT

If you like the color, try it out! Other than it helps to moisture your lips, you will look fresh as well. Personally, I use lip balms before applying any lip matte that would dry out my skin. But this one, you can just apply it as it is and still look alive.

(っ◔◡◔)っ Beauty Reminder ~

Before anyone gets confused with this (definitely me but its okay, I googled😂 ) ampoule is more concentrated than serums and they usually have active ingredients targeting to fix/enhance what you think your skin needs. For example, the one that I got focuses on moisturisation using real propolis (from 🐝) and it claims to give the boost of health and nutrition to your skin. Any bees related products that I have tried which is obviously honey, never fail me. Sometimes, I made DIY honey mask mix with some brown sugar and I get an instant glow rightaway!
