Anna Sui x Minnie Mouse Nail Color Holiday Collection Swatches

It's been long time since my last post :p
So excited with this collection. At first I only got 2 of it (I asked my sis to buy it for me when she went to Korea). I think Korea got this collection before Taiwan. This collection available in Korea at the end of October, while in Taiwan, I have to wait till 15th November. (Korea ROCKS!!! Really wanna visit there someday). Anyway.... here's the collection after I completed all.

From left to right

001 Stardust Silver, 002 Snow White, 200 Midnight Purple 

300 Neon Pink, 400 Passion Red 

I really love the bottle, even the packaging box. 

The Minnie Mouse wearing Rose dress, super duper cute. 

SWATCHES;

001 STARDUST SILVER (2 coats)

A simple silver glitter with transparent base

002 SNOW WHITE (2 coats)

The sheerest shade from all of the collection

Picture below SNOW WHITE with 3 coats 

SNOW WHITE 

A sheer white with glints of glitter, kinda pretty if you're into nude colors.

200 MIDNIGHT PURPLE

Dark Purple with beautiful shimmer.

It's my favorite from the bunch

300 NEON PINK 

I think the name is so misleading. It's bright pink, 

in my opinion it's not neon (bright) enough to call it NEON PINK. 

Hate the name, but the color still pretty though. 

Bright pink with blueish shimmer. 

400 PASSION RED 

This one only 1 coat with 3 coats of SNOW WHITE as base color. 

Honestly, I kinda disappointed with the glitter. It's just too simple, nothing new

nothing extraordinary, plain boring. 

Comparing it with Etude House Minnie Collection nail polish.....

They did better job with the glitter nail polish collection. 

I bought the NEON PINK and MIDNIGHT PURPLE @ USD16 

SNOW WHITE @ 525 NT

STARDUST SILVER and PASSION RED @580 NT

Honestly I bought all of the collection 'cause of the bottle packaging. It's so cute (I think), but the color collection is just simply boring, lots of dupes with cheaper price. 

What do you think? 

Would you put this collection as your X'mas Wishlist? 

Happy Weekend  

XOXO

Etude House Don't Worry Hand Cream Review

Etude House once again blow me away with their new Don't Worry Hand Cream Collection.  There are 4 scents of hand cream in this collection.

*I took this pic from Taiwan Etude House website*

I picked 2 scents from this collection

The Ingredients detail 

It's fine- All is well 

Super Duper cute. 

You can take off the shoes and put it back on. 

My daughter loves it so much, she likes to play with the shoes. 

This hand cream has Citrus Floral Fragrance 

You Did It- Almost There 

This one has Floral Musky Fragrance. 

The cream constitency

The formula is a bit sticky when you first apply it on your hands, but don't worry, it absorb really quick. 

You definitely can smell the fragrance of the hand cream, but it's not over powering scent. 

I mean it's not too strong (the kind of smell that too strong that gonna give you headache)

My favorite scent is It's fine-all is well. 

I found that it's citrus floral scent make me relax. Love the scent!

The idea of this hand cream is to give you encouragement and spirit. 

I think it would be a great gifts for someone else (friends,sisters, GF,BF,etc) or for ourself :P

I like to put mine on my working table <3

This collection also came in lip balm. 

What do you think of a Messaging Beauty Product?

Do you like it like I do?

Thanks for reading 

XOXO <3

Pa Nail Polish Haul and Swatches

Helloo... It's been long time since I blog about nail polish.
Last week bought few of Pa nail polishes. Bought it from Cosmed - next to Xihu MRT station (I don't think all of Cosmed have this brand). It was on sale for 15% off  (yeayy!!!), so these what I bought

All of nail polishes in 6 ml

From left to right; AA77, AA75, A138,A15

Swatches;

A15

Nude mud brown.

I was expecting it more creamier, but it end up to be more glossy 

but still a pretty nude 

A138 (artificial light)

One coat of A138 on top of A15 

So pretty, it's shimmery nude brown <3 <3 love these duo 

I really love these duo (A15+A138)

So pretty under the light, even on daylight

(This picture on daylight)

The shimmer is so pretty, not too over, but you still can see the blink blink of it <3

AA75 

Metallic purple 

It has a bit shimmer in it

AA77

Turquoise green 

It's one shade darker in the bottle

so I was expecting it to be darker green, the x'mas kind of green 

 It's turn out to be more turquoise, but still pretty :D

In all of the picture I put 2 coats of polish without top coat.

My First Impression about this nail polish; 

1. Really impress with their quick drying formula 

2. The formula is perfect for me not too thick not to runny

3. They have various range of colors 

4. Stay long on my nails (2 days without chipping-considering the house chore I have to do and I didn't put top coat on it)

5. Price is also affordable 

Correct me, If I'm wrong, I think Pa is Japanese brand but all of these nail polishes are made in France. 

Have you heard about this brand? 

Have a great weekend 

and thank you for reading my blog <3

Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick #609 AUBERGINE Swatch and my big Dissapointment

Finallyyy... I'm back :D
Shopped a bit when I back home. My sister is crazy about this brand right now. Max Factor.... I guess new counter?? (not sure but I didn't notice the counter last year), anyway they have counter in Tunjungan Plasa (MDS) and Galaxy Mall (centro)- (Surabaya).
So the story is... my sis recommend Max Factor lippie a lot, so I'll decide to check out the counter and I fall in love with this color

A dark red lipstick <3 <3 

Swatch;

It's a really nice dark red lip color. 

In the mood of autumn <3

The lipstick has a nice scent of vanilla, it's pigmented, long lasting, and didn't dry out my lips. 

and it's affordable. 

Bought it at 87,500 IDR @ Centro Galaxy Mall 

I DON'T HAVE COMPLAIN WITH THIS PRODUCT

but 

MY DISAPPOINTMENT IS BECAUSE: 

As you can see, the EXPIRY DATE is '014 (which I believe it's saying 2014) 

bought this lipstick on October 3rd,2013. Which is mean when I bought it, and paying full price for this product, I got the product that would be expired in 3 months!!!! 

I noticed the label when I got home and I felt so disappointed, so a day after that I went back to centro, and directly went to customer service and told them that I want to return the product, and I'm telling the reason, and show them the expiry date written on the label. 

Honestly, the customer service didn't help at all, she just took me to Max Factor's counter and let me speak directly to their Beauty Assistant. When I said my point about the expiry date listed on the label..... (it's just getting worst), the BA answered, that manuf date and expiry date doesn't mean anything, it's written for no reason, the most important is the time when you open the lipstick cap and used it. So the day you open and used the lipstick plus 36 months just like the label under it. 

I just couldn't believe it I heard that explanation from a BEAUTY ASSISTANT......!!!!!! WHAT THE....?????? Did she know that all of the cosmetic products has shelf life? even tough you don't open or use the product but after 3 or 4 years of manufacturing date, It will be EXPIRED!!!! 

After heard that explanation.... I just felt even worst!!! I just asked the CS who stand beside me, If you were me, bought this lipstick and read the label of expiry date, would you be disappointed just like me? and she just nodded. Nodded but couldn't do anything...... T.T

Gosh!!!! 

If you were me.... how would you feel?

Thanks for reading <3

 

3CE Lip Color #602 V Review

Hello.... back again with 3CE stuff. Tonight is 3 Concept Eyes Lip color #602 V

The side of the box has different color of lips.

I thought this design is cute. 

Matching your nails and lips colors hmmm (might try it :p)

All of the detail in Korean 

At the bottom of the box and the tube has lip color number and name. 

I like it when they write down the name also on the tube. 

Maybe it just me, but I have difficulty remembering number, it get mixed up,

so I like to remember a name. 

When I'm searching in my nail polish or lipstick stash, I like to call it by its name.

For example; I'm in the mood for coral lips, I'll say I'll get my 'Super Coral' and so on.

The name seem to attached better, so I like catchy and cute name of product. 

Is it just me? or do you also have the same habit?

Anyway.... let's move on

The bullet. 

Classic black bullet, nothing special, but quite decent.

The swatches on my hand and lips

 602 V

In the photo it looks like cool blue based fuchsia pink, but 

in the real life it's warmer and darker. 

and It's matte finish. 

Honestly.... I'm a bit disappointed with this lipstick. 

I bought it online, so I bought it based on their pictorial advertisement. 

Here's their ad

Compared to mine..... 

The ad pic looks so moist and glossy and on me it's matte. 

The ad pic color so bright purplely pink and on me it's so different, and after few minutes,

the color seems to change to berry plum red on my lips 

(Is it because I don't use lip concealer?) 

anyway, the point is... I don't get the exact color like on the ad. 

and the creaminess, I'm expecting to get the same creaminess like their 

Lip Jumbo Crayon, but nooo I was wrong T.T

Good thing to say about this lip color;

*No scent at all 

*Pigmented

*Glide smoothly, but a bit dried up my lips (not 'till chapping)

I don't like the color turn out when I fully apply on my lips, but I found this lip color 

work best as a Tint. I just use lip balm, then dabbed this lip color on my lips and just smear it 

with my finger, and the result I get is 

See... totally different color...... 

Have you tried 3CE lip color? Do you get the same result as their ad pictorial? 

Please let me know ^.^

Note: I might gone for a while, going back to Indonesia for 2 weeks tmrw *woots woots, I'll do my best to blog though :p 

Have a great weekend for all of you <3
