Etude House Cherry Lip Gel Patch Review

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.

The other day I went to Etude House to see if I could find any new interesting products to test out. They currently have a 50 % off on many of their products so I had to grab the chance to buy myself some new cosmetics.  

The most interesting product I could find at Etude House was Cherry Lip Gel Patch, which is like a mask for your lip?. It looked hilarious so I had to buy it, even if it's something I don't really need or should spend money on. But with the 50 % off then why not just try for fun.

The same day I also had some soar lips. It's turning to spring here, so the change from warm at daytime to cold at night make my lips so soar, dry and painful. So I guess the lip patch could really come in handy afterall.

I tried it out the same day, hoping it would help my lips becoming alittle less painful. First of all. I did search the internet and I saw some korean celebrities looking cute with this lip patch on. But I think I look more than a scary clown than looking cute. It is actually kinda freaky. 

But does it work?

Yes it does! I had mine on for about a half hour and when I took it off my lips felt alot softer and less soar. It still had some liquid left on it, so I re-used it the day after also and my lips felt like new again.  I really like this product and I would buy it again. But even if it helps the lips I must admit it is somewhat hard to keep it on the lips. It was sliding alot the whole time, so I could not move my head or look down. Best to use when laying down, but I can't lay on my back for a half hour without feeling bored. Also it does not taste like cherry, maybe smell alittle like cherry? Don't know if cherry gel is the right name for this product. Maybe something like sweet gel etc would be better. So don't get sad all the cherry lovers out there when you find out it does not taste like cherry. I'm one of those cherry lovers. But all in all, it did make my lips more kissable. So I guess both me and my boyfriend are happy with this product.

 

This was everything I bought at Etude House. I have so many BB Creams, eyeshadows etc so I only bought a few things on sale. Two nail polish. One mascara base to make longer eyelashes (think it's some kinda fiber), yellow lipstick, top coat and some drops to make nail polish dry faster. I will make review on some of these laster. 

But one of the best things about shopping cosmetics from korean stores are free stuff! It's one of the things I miss whenever I go back home. When you buy comestics from Etude House, even on sale they give you free things depending on the total amount you spend. This time I spent aroud 10,000 won and I got free cotton pads, facial mask and a kit full of samples of their moistfull collagen series. 

If I had more money I would go back to Etude House everyday to shop more!

Myungdong + Etude House Lash Perm 3 Step Volumecara Mascara review

 

Hello again!

 

 

 

Went to Myungdong today with my friend Ingrid to do some shopping. Really need a new pair of jeans before school start because I only got one pair, kinda embarresing using same jeans every time right???

So I decided to buy a new pair. I first checked out my favorite store in Seoul, Forever 21. Which I guess most of you know allready. I think I tried around 20 pairs of jeans, all was right size, but didn't look so good on. So I ended up buying a pink cute cardigan there instead. I seriously can't go to Forever 21 without buying anything, because they got so many awesome things there. So ended up with a cardigan even if I had no plan to buy one. ( will show clothes buys etc in another update)

 

After Forever 21 me and Ingrid went to this well known place in Myungdong to eat out lunch together. So all times I've been there its always a big line, alot of people waiting to go inside to eat.

 

 

This is what we ate. A noodle soup with Mandu,meat and vegetables. Very yummy! But made me sooo full,omg.

 

 

So after eating we went to Zara, where I found my jeans! Zara is some expensive compared to many other brands in Korea, but for finding "the perfect" jeans its not too expensive. I bought navy blue pair of jeans which was the best one I tried on. But I only paid 69,000 won ( 350 NOK) for my jeans which is much here, but not much compared to what I use on jeans back in Norway.

 

But after Ingrid left I wanted to try finding some new underwear to buy, but ended up piercing my ears instead, weird thinking right? So now I got 3 new ear piercings.

 

 

But most importantly I went to Etude House which I quite love. I mean...Their stores are so cute, and their makeup are cheap.

 

 

This is what Etude House's store in Myungdong looks like by the way, cute right? all their stores got same kinda look. Pink and white.

 

So I've been seeing this mascara alot on commercials here in Korea. Its a new one from Etude House and it looks so interesting, so I've been wanting to try it out. Take a look at the commercial:

 

 

Kinda interesting right??

So I had to check it out. And it was cheap so I bought it to compare it to my Chanel mascara which is kinda expensive. Paid 13,000 Won (66 NOK), very cheap for a cute mascara!!

 

So let me first show you how my "naked" eye look like, free from all cosmetics

 

 

Very pale eyelashes, so without any mascara my eyelashes don't show at all.

 

But before showing you Etude House Lash Perm 3 Step Volumecara Mascara, this is how my eyes look with my expensive Chanel mascara:

 

 

 

 

 

I must admit I love my Chanel mascara. But now that I'm a student in Korea I can't spend money on buying a new one when the one I use now its too old or empty. So thats why I need to find something cheaper I can use, that fit my poor student budget. My Chanel mascara I bought for around 400 NOK if I'm not wrong(78 000 won, more than my new jeans HA!). What I like most about this mascara, is that it gives me quite must volume without looking like I got spiderlegs for eyelashes,which many cheap mascara's give. Lets compare it to Etude House Lash Perm 3 Step Volumecara Mascara.

 

 

 

To be honest....This cheap 13,000 won mascara from Etude House actually gives me more volume than my expensive one from Chanel, quite amazing right?? Only problem about this mascara is that it can more easilly give you those spiderlegs eyelashes if you are not careful when applying your mascara on your lashes. But for the price of this mascara I would totally recommand it to whoever who looks for an cheap mascara that gives volume and want that dolly look. It does give you what it promise when buying it, doll eyes!

 

Can also buy this mascara from pages like ebay etc. So if you think this review looks good, then hurry and buy!! Buy,buy,buuuuuuuuy!

 

 

Any other korean makeup products etc you want me to review, just give me a comment!
