Etude House Haul + Meg's "The Big Korean Beauty Issue"

My fondness for Etude House just goes on and on. I've talked about the Sweet Recipe launch and collection, and now here's a haul as I replenished some of my essentials. (Truth to be told, I purchased these products just because I wanted to get the GWP! Am I the only one who does this? Please tell me I'm not alone. Haha!)

Etude House Haul

Etude House Lash Perm Proof Mascara (Washable) (P578.00)

I use a non-waterproof mascara everyday. I actually prefer non-waterproof mascaras because I'm too lazy for those hard-to-remove mascaras at the end of the day. One catch though, I want my non-waterproof mascara to wash off as solid fibers and not melt off on my face. This one from Etude House is washable yet smudge-proof, and is super easy to clean.

Etude House Happy Essential Foam (Collagen) (P228.00)

The Happy Essential Foam range replaced my favorite Happy Teatime Cleansing Foam range. Even if I have oily skin, I didn't choose the variants that are meant for oily skin (like Witch Hazel and White Clay). I opted for Collagen, which gives the skin a more youthful appearance. I hope I made the right choice. Will let you know of course, once I have started using this.

Etude House Happy Teatime Lemon Tea Cleansing Cream (P198.00)

I bought a backup tub of my all-time favorite makeup remover just because I didn't want to risk it going out of stock just in case I finally needed it.
 
Nymph Aura Set (GWP)

And this is the reason behind my haul. For every P1,000.00 purchase in Etude House kiosks in department stores, you'd get this cute and functional Nymph Aura Set. (Will do a separate post on this!) And if you're thinking of buying in stores just because you want that pink Etude House paper bag, the department store kiosk has them, too! All you have to do is ask. :D


The last item is obviously not from Etude House, but since I'm currently on a Korean-beauty product phase, this issue of Meg came just in time. For March 2013, it's the big Korean beauty issue featuring Jessy Mendiola on the cover. (So pretty!)

Hope you like this Korean-inspired haul! Any recent hauls you'd like to share with me? :)

Love,
Helen

    1. I wished the same thing! Mas di yata mabenta sa dept. store kaya dapat mas enticing yung GWP. Pati ako napabili! :D

  5. Where do you get your Korean cosmetics from? Do you have someone buy them for you in Korea? Because I've been hearing a lot of excellent reviews about Korean make up and I want to give it a shot :) Love this post! So interesting!

    1. I get my Korean cosmetics from malls. They're all over the place now. I haven't tried buying online, but I think some sellers sell Korean cosmetics online at lower prices.

    1. She's more beautiful with simple makeup, right? But I still think she's pretty there, though it doesn't look much like her on TV.

    1. That's what I did too when I saw their GWP announcement online! Hahaha! Buy from the dept store this month if you can. The only downside to that is that they have limited stocks. :P
