Etude House: A-Z and ♥ Heart: 27 Alphabet Face Masks

We all have our different share of concerns regarding our skin. May it be dullness, dryness or what-not, finding the best product for our face is a must. I've tried a lot of Korean facial masks and there are really a lot of kinds to choose from, but lo and behold, Etude House releases not one, not two, but 27 new face masks! That's even more than the English Alphabet! When I saw these masks at Etude House's website, I was like, "Are they serious? That's quite a lot!" I then hurriedly checked the names of the masks, to see if they were really able to name them all decently; I was amused. ^^ With this vast array of face masks to choose from, I'm sure you'd be able to address your skin's concern!

These masks retails for 950 won in Korea and that's pretty cheap, roughly these would retail for about 50-60php here in the Philippines. ♥ So here they are:

A (Aloe) ~ Soothing Relief

B (Bulgarian Rose) ~ Brightening

C (Collagen) ~ Firming

D (Dandelion) ~ Revitilizing

E (Elder Flower) ~ Soothing & Moisturizing

F (Fig) ~ Purifying

G (Green Tea) ~ Moisture & Relief

H (Hyaluronic Acid) ~ Richly Moisturizing

I (Immortelle) ~ Energizing & Nourishing

J (Job's Tears) ~ Revitilizing & Smoothing

K (Korean Ginseng) ~ Revitilizing & Nourishing

L (Lemon) ~ Tone Clarifying

M (Mango) ~ Nourishing & Firming

N (Noni) ~ Revitilizing

O (Olive) ~ Deep Moisture

P (Pomegranate) ~ Smooth Elasticity

Q (Q10) ~ Tightening & Firming

R (Royal Jelly) ~ Smooth Hydration

S (Shea Butter) ~ Richly Nourishing

T (Tea Tree) ~ Trouble Care

U (Unpolished Rice) ~ Firming & Nourishing

V (Vitamin Complex) ~ Radiating Skin

W (White Pearl) ~ Bright Complexion

X (Xylitol Forest) ~ Clean Moisture

Y (Yogurt: Strawberry) ~ Soft & Moist

Z (Zucchini) ~ Nourishing & Moisturizing

Heart: 5 Berry Complex ~ Antioxidant

Did you find a mask for your skin's needs? I hope these come out really soon at Etude House stores here in Manila, but I can always preorder them from Korea~~ kkk ♥

Well, that's all for now~

This or That Tag!~

  Happy New Year Everyone!  I hope you all had a blast! ~ I wasn't that much into the new year countdown as I was watching Rooftop Prince and waiting for SNSD's comeback. ke ke ke~ Anyway, I received a tag from Erika of http://erikajjang.tumblr.com ^^ She's one of the most amicable persons I've known through the blogging network. If you know her, you'd agree right away! hihi!  So now onto the tag! ~~ Blusher or Bronzer I personally prefer blushers especially the tint ones since they last longer ^^ I rarely use bronzers just because I find them a bit unnatural at certain angles. >__< I like how blushers give that subtle flush of color that instantly livens the face ^^ My favorite tint blush is the one from Tony Moly and the lovely cookie blusher from Etude House ^___^
Lip Gloss or Lip Stick I'd go for Lip Stick! Simply because lip glosses tend to be sticky, my hair keeps on sticking to my lips XD Nonetheless, I still do use lip glosses especially ones from Etude House ^^
Lip Balm or Lip Butter
Lip balm! ^__^ Somehow lip butters feel heavier on the lips so I'd choose lip balms more ^_^
Matte or Sparkle Eye shadows\ Hmmm, if you say "Sparkle" does that mean the shimmer ones? XD I've seen different kinds of sparkly eyeshadows and I'd say I love the ones with a hint of subtle shimmer to it as it gives a subtle glow to the eyes. ^_^ Matte eyeshadows are more for office looks, you know, professional thingy which kinda makes me look a bit older than my age. But if you say matte pastel colors! Oh that's a different story! Hahaha!
Foundation or Concealer Actually, I don't use both much. Hihi! I use BB Creams more since they're all in one ~ medium coverage, dewy glow, sun protection, anti-aging effects, etc. Love love love bb creams!! But if I were to choose between the two, I'd choose concealer over foundation ^___^
Gel, Liquid, Cream or Pencil Liner I've had my share of experience with different kinds of liner, most of which are embarrassing! Talk about having panda eyes at the end of the day! Eeek! I love liquid liners, they last long ~ just as long as you don't rub too hard else they'll disappear! Hahaha! Happened to me a couple of times so bring you eye liners just in case they fade away!! ^^

Loose Powders of Pressed Powders I prefer pressed powders as they're more convenient to carry around. I can either use a sponge or a brush in the application anyway. I think you can also achieve the effect of using a loose powder through pressed powders given that you control the lightness of your application ^^
Powder, Cream or Liquid Highlighters Powder for sure! I dunno, with cream or liquid ones, I feel like they don't show up that much O.o
Brushes, Sponges or Fingers Hihi, I usually use my fingers 'cause it's soooo much more convenient especially when I'm in a rush going to work, which is like, always?! XD But I can do with either of the three ^^
Waterproof or Non-waterproof No doubt, waterproof! They last so much longer that non-waterproof makeup but I just hate removing them since I need to use makeup removers and stuff instead of just washing my face with water and facial wash. Aigoo, it's really burdensome whenever I arrive home dead tired and yet I still have to remove my makeup esp. the mascara. :/
Can’t Live Without Product
Makeup-wise~~BB CREAM!!!!!!! Even Erika answered the same thing! BB creams, as I've mentioned earlier, are so multi-functional so hands down, it's BB Cream that I can't live without. We all know that when it comes to skin care, moisturizer is your best friend. ^_^ I hope you enjoyed reading through my post ^_^ Tagging some of my friends who first came into mind!! ^^ Genz of www.genzelkisses.com/ Celline of www.cellinereyes.com/ Maggie of morbidfrank.blogspot.com/ Amz of amz88.blogspot.com/ Cominica of www.cominica.net/ Lina Kim (Hyerin) of sparkleapple.blogspot.com/ Dawn of peachypinksisters.blogspot.com/ MicMic of http://michellemagramo.blogspot.com/
