[REVIEW] Etude House Drawing Show Creamy Liner BK802






Happy Sunday! I'm actually quite late with this. I have no excuse; this is procrastination at its best.
Anyway, Today I'd like to present the CUTEST cream liner from the CUTEST brand.
Here we have Etude House Drawing Show Creamy Liner in shade #BK802, a quick-drying, creamy formula liner that comes with a handy dandy brush. There's 3 other shades, but I've only seen BK801 (brown) being sold.

I'm pretty sure this actually makes three Etude House product reviews we've done in a row. I think our bias is showing a little, oops.

[REVIEW] Etude House Eyeshadows - Look At My Eyes: Bling Me Prism, Cafe, and Monkey Wish Eyes





Hello! Today's review is on 7 eyeshadows I purchased from the various Etude House eyeshadow lines! I ordered from the Look At My Eyes Summer & Fall collections as well as the Cafe, Bling Me Prism, and Monkey Wish sets!

From the summer colors, I bought RD301 Jungle Red; the fall, RD303 Strawberry Buffet and PP505 Purple Brown; the cafe line, PP501 Sweet Potato Latte and PK004 Deep Berry Soda; the prism line, OR213 Suede Tassel; and the monkey wish line, PP508 Class is Cancelled-mong! (The mong part of its name comes from the sound monkeys make.)

[REVIEW] Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder



Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder packaging review


I struggle with a lot of sebum production on my T-Zone. A lot. My forehead is an oil slick. Most drug-store setting powders in the past have broken me out and done nothing for keeping the oil at bay or my makeup on my face.  Because of that, I started searching for a setting powder specifically for oily faces.

Today we have Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder. This powder claims to be a mineral powder that dries up sebum without being greasy, dry, or flaky. I was torn between this and innisfree's No Sebum Mineral Powder.
They had equally good reviews, but what won me over on Zero Sebum Drying Powder was simple.
