Etude House Pink Box // Pink Bird Review - My Castle

Hey guys! It's been a pretty busy month for me! Thanksgiving has come and gone already! Black Friday as well! (Working 2 retail jobs, Black Friday was a looooooong day for me! LOL!) I've had this Pink Box for a bit but I'm just now finally getting the chance to share it with you guys. 

This Pink Box theme is the Pink Castle lotion set. 

It comes in a cute box showcasing the different lotions and their scents (and their colors!)

Each lotion looks like a house and has it's own unique look to it!

You can scratch and sniff the "door" on the lotion to see what it smells like before opening up the product! So cute!

Again the casing of these products is so cute! I wonder what the casing of them individually looks like as well!

First we have "Sweet Cookie" It looks like a house from the game Candy Land or Hansel and Gretel.

Look at the little person hiding inside! He's so cute!

This lotion is a light beige color. It truly does smell like cookies. It smells like a sugar cookie! I looooove sugar cookies!

You're probably wondering why I have my whole finger in the jar. I wanted to see if the whole container was full or not. It goes all the way to the bottom.

It has a thick, creamy consistency. Perfect for the cold winter days we have here in Chicago. 

Next we have "Pink Wish" It stood out to me right away because, well, it's pink. 

It looks like it should be one of Cinderella's guest houses! It's so cute!

This lotion is a light pink color and it smells of roses. I like the smell of roses so it doesn't bother me but some people don't care for that smell.

It also has a thick and creamy consistency. 

Then we have Forever Rose. I don't know why but it reminds me of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Maybe it's the pretty gates that remind me of that castle.

This lotion is a pink/purplish color. It smells slightly of roses but it also smells of other fruits. The smell of roses is not dominant in this one. It reminds me of fruity perfumes I used to wear, like Britney Spears perfumes.

Like the other lotions, this is thick in consistency as well.

Last but not least we have the "Ice Frozen" lotion AKA the Elsa Castle! LOL!

There's a cute looking reflective mirror on one side of the castle. If I was a child, these would be my doll's castles. They are so cute!

The color and design of this castle reminds me of Elsa and Frozen. I don't know if that's what they were going for but that's what I got from it!

This lotion is a light blue color and it reminds me of something bright and fresh. You know how new laundry smells fresh. Kind of like that. It doesn't necessarily smell like laundry but it's got a fresh, slightly floral lavender smell to it.

It's also very thick in consistency as well.

So there you have it you guys! These lotions are beyond cute! They are perfect gifts for stocking stuffers I think those young and old will enjoy these! They are so adorable! You can find them on Etude House's website. You can buy them individually here for $6 a piece. You can also find the set that they sent to me here for $24.

Make sure to check out other goodies from Etude House on their site www.etudehouse.com Starting on Dec. 3rd-Dec. 5th  they are having their Princess Days Event which is free standard shipping on all orders $50 and above. You know what that means! Christmas gifts for everyone!

You can keep up with Etude House on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.

Have you bought these lotions yet? If so, do you like them? Would you buy these for your friends and family for Christmas? Or will you buy them for yourself? Let me know in the comments below. Until next time,

Etude House Pink Box // Pink Bird Wish Lips Talk & Halloween Makeup Review

Hi guys! I'm back with another Pink Bird Pink Box Review. This box was sent to me around the end of September. The theme of this box is definitely Fall/Autumn themed. It includes the new Wish Lips Talk Lipstick and the Bloody Halloween Eye Shadow Palette.

This box came with a K Beauty Princess Manual, Volume 2. Look who's on the cover?! It's Krystal from f(x)! If you guys aren't already watching My Lovely Girl with Rain and Krystal you should start watching it! It's so good! It's one of the better K-Drama's I've watched so far! I love the fact that Krystal's character sticks up for herself and Rain is playing a character who is mature and is fitting for his age. I love it! I also love the makeup Krystal is wearing and I know she's wearing Etude House products! (I wonder if she's wearing the same shades I was sent!!!)

Along with the K Beauty Princess Manual, there's descriptions of each products that was sent to me.

This gives a brief description of the lipsticks and shows how you can wear them, as a gradient lip or full coverage lip.

Krystal looks so cute! I love her!

This is a brief description of the eye shadow palette that was sent to me. I was sent the Bloody Halloween one.

These are the different looks you can use with the shadows. There's also a lip color in the palette as well.

I love these K Beauty Princess Manuals! They show you how to rock different kinds of looks and how to get these gorgeous looks with their products.

I loved these tutorials. Chic Cat Eyes vs. Puppy Dog Eyes. I usually wear a cat eye, like everyday but maybe I'll start trying to do the puppy dog eye and switch things up a bit.

The Fantastic Color Eyes-Bloody Halloween Palette is cute and compact and yet has an array of colors in it. 

There are 5 eye shadow colors and 1 lip color. Starting from the left the light yellowish tan color is 'Pale'. It's a shimmery shadow. The lip color is called 'Zombie Kiss' and it's a dark burgundy color. The next color is a light peach color called 'Witch Hunting' and it's the only color in the palette that's matte. The next color is a a brownish maroon color called 'Funky Horror'. The next color 'Bloody Burgundy' is exactly what it sounds like, it's a shimmery burgundy. The last color is called 'Halloween Night' and it's shimmery dark brown color.

Although this is called Bloody Halloween, these colors are great to wear in the Fall (or at anytime, if you like wearing darker colors all year round) I always love making new looks with eyeshadows and this palette definitely has potential. I love that it's small and compact, so easy to put in your purse and go, especially if you need  a touch up. The palette has a mirror too which is very helpful. The lip color has a thick consistency, thicker than a gloss but has a nice pigmented color like a lipstick. 

I was also sent two lipsticks. These are a part of the new 'Dear My Wish Lips Talk' line. This formula has a soft melting texture and the colors are bright and pigmented. The two colors I was sent BE101 & PK003.

The applicator is so cute! It's got a cure bow on it! I love whipping these out of my purse. 

This color BE101 is a light beige color. It's perfect to use a nude color to wear a nude lip. 

The other color is PK003 which is a lovely darker pink lipstick.

The lipstick does go on very smoothly. It is a very creamy formula. It's actually very hydrating

The beige color is a bit too bright for my lips so I mixed it with my MAC lipstick 'Cream in My Coffee' and it looks great. I actually wore them together at my friends wedding this past weekend.

This color is gorgeous. I love a fun pink lipstick. This lipstick is so easy to put on and go. 

I was also sent samples of the Precious Mineral BB creams. I have yet to try them, but I'm sure they're great.

Again thank you to Etude House for sending me these lovely products! I love sharing them with you all. If you guys didn't already know Etude House opened their global online shop and it's lovely.

Memebox Global #14 Review

You guys!!!! I'm super excited to share this Memebox Review with you guys! This one is different from the one I've done previously. This box was graciously sent to me from Memebox! 

For those of you who don't know about Memebox, it's currently the #1 beauty box in Korea. It's not just popular in Korea but it's become popular worldwide! Memebox brings the most popular and best-loved products to you in a lovely pink box at an affordable price.

You can get 4 different kinds of Memeboxes. 

Original Memebox: This box comes packaged with 4-8 full sized & deluxe sample sized products. 

Memebox Special Edition: This box comes packaged with 4-8 full sized & deluxe sample sized products. Each box has a special theme like Cacao products or Honey products, Anti-Aging & etc.

Superbox: This box comes with only full sized products that cater to specific needs. Each box comes with it's own theme designed to target particular concerns or there's a collaboration with popular brands.

Luckybox: This box includes favorite products from previous Memeboxes that everyone ranted and raved about. It comes packaged with 4-8 full sized & deluxe sample sized products. 

As of right now, Memebox is not a monthly subscription. It's pretty much first come first serve so if you see a box that's popular and you want it you better buy it before it's sold out!

I've been ordering these boxes for months and I love them. This box is seriously one of my favorites though. They're a lot of great products in this box. You ready to see them?

1. Shower Mate Perfume de Whip Body Wash (2x 50ml, Full Size, Value $4)

I thought these were interesting when I first read the description. "There's no need for heavy perfume with these natural floral fragrances." I was sent 'Marilyn Red Fantasy' and 'Pure White Blossom'

I personally like these. They are strong smelling so if you are sensitive to heavy scents and perfumes these are probably not for you. The Red Fantasy body wash has a sexy, sultry, spicy kind of scent to it. The Pure White Blossom body wash has strong floral scent. I'm actually gonna enjoy using them. I'll see if I really don't need perfume after using these.

2. Sally's Box 4 Set: Love Recipe Apple Mask 20ml, Delight Ceramide Hydrogel Mask 25g, Delight Collagen Hydrogel Mask 25g, Delight Panthenol Hydrogel Mask 25g (Full Size, Value $14)

I love love LOVE masks! If I could do a mask everyday I would! I have so many masks now it's ridiculous! I can't wait to try these out! The Love Recipe Apple Mask is enriched with apple extracts that are meant to sooth and balance out rough skin textures. The three Delight Hydrogel mask contain herbal ingredients that deeply hydrate your skin. I will probably do individual reviews on each mask.

3. Beauty People Miss 100 Super Waterproof Gel Liner Auto Pencil 0.5g (Full Size, Value $38)

You can never have enough eyeliner. Especially shimmery eye liner. This is a gel liner so it applies on smoothly. Out of the 3 colors I was sent Glimmer Bronze. This is a nice shimmery golden bronze color. Perfect to make a simple or smudged out look. 

4. VOV Goodbye Black Smudge Waterproof Mascara No. 1 Lash Proof Mascara 9g (Full Size, Value $19)

You can't finish an eye look without mascara. These boxes were sent with either a mascara or an eye liner. I was sent the Lash Proof Mascara. This mascara's brush is triangularly shaped and is meant to cover every inch of your lashes, especially the roots of your lashes. I have my go to mascara which is 'They're Real Mascara' by Benefit, so no mascara really compares to that, in my opinion. The brushes bristles of this mascara are too short for me but I'm sure my mom will like it.

As you can see in the picture, the eye on the left has the mascara on, but the right eye does not. Sorry for my mean scowl. 

5. Kocostar 4 Package Set: Ggongji Hair Pack 8ml, Face Spot Mirror Patch - 36 Patches, 5 Finger Nail Pack - 1 set, Foot Peeling Pack - 1 set (Full Size, Value $20)

This pack is lots of fun! The hair pack is meant to help mend your split ends. I'm assuming it will wet your hair. I'm excited to use this cuz my ends have been a bit dry ever since I dyed my hair. The Face Spot Mirror Patches are meant to treat blemishes and spots on your face. It has a little mirror in the package (Too cute!) The Nail Pack is meant to moisturize, protect and add more shine and elasticity to your nails. It's a mini spa day for your nails. The Foot Peeling Pack is exactly what it's name is. I've used one of these packs before. My dead skin didn't shed as much as it claimed it would. (I know, gross) Maybe this pack will be different. $20 for all of this is a pretty good deal.

6. Sua Young Mineral Essence In Liquid Foundation SPF33 +++ 5g (Sample Product, Full Sized Product is $34)

This liquid foundation is meant to be in between the thickness of a BB cream and lightness of a CC cream. It's meant to cover up skins imperfections and have a long lasting finish. The color is a bit too light for me. Even with my pale winter skin. I personally don't care for the texture of this foundation. It's a bit sticky. I'm not sure if its because of the 'essence' in the foundation or what. But everyone is different, so what doesn't work for me might work for you. 

7. Recipe By Nature Golden Time Vita Capsule Essence 40ml (Full Size, Value $42)

I love this brand and have been so excited to use this essence. If any of you follow a Korean Skin Care Regiment you most likely use some form of essence in your routine. This essence has vitamin capsules in it. They're meant to deeply nourish your skin, balance out the oil and moisture level of your skin, brighten darkened skin tones and even out rough skin textures. You have to shake the bottle to mix up the formula. There is oil in it so it feels a bit heavy on the skin so I would probably only use this at night. It does leave my skin feeling smooth and it has a nice citrusy smell. 

8. a;t fox Fantasy Holic Lip & Cheek Designer Pencil (Full Size, Value $7)

I love a good combo! This is a 2 in 1 pencil. You can use it as a lipstick or blush. This formula glides on smoothly. I was sent the Sweet Orange Color. This is a perfect on the go item, to make a quick and easy look, especially if you're in a hurry.

You guys this is a lovely box. The approximate value of this box is about $150.00 Amazing!!! This box like other boxes was pretty great. Even though this box is no longer available you can still get plenty of awesome boxes right now on Memebox.com Here's some options below.
