Etude House
Etude House
Damage: Around 2,500+++ plus more in the future!
Where to buy: Etude House, Festival Mall, Alabang, Muntinlupa City
During my early 20's I've been really addicted to Korean movies which I think now almost bordering stupid. I used to scrounge Quiapo, Greenhills and the Internet (Desperate, I tell ya) for (pirated) VCD copies of whatever movie is currently popular and most reviewed in the soompi forum (yes, another shame). I am sooo sooo envious of Korean actresses particularly how they effortlessly look natural and clean with oh so pretty lips and don't make me start with the almost poreless skin - as if they have an airbrush tool 24/7! Fast forward the years, I moved from one addiction to the another (Why, Hello The Office - Naruto - Big Bang Theory) I completely went out of touch from the korean addiction business until I stumbled onto Girltalk (again after 4 years!) and began my forum reading frenzy, concentrating in the Let's Primp and Prettify section (I've been avoiding this like plague since it caused me wallet troubles way back 2005-2006! I learned my lesson, don't worry. LOL). And there the Etude House Thread captured my heart and later on, my money - but I'm still clamoring for more.
To tell you the truth, I was pretty anxious that I may not able to purchase bazillion stuff from EH due to my skin's bitchy attitude (oily-sensitive) but I was hella wrong! The Precious BB cream/Sleeping Pack saved my face and improved it, the lip stuff were love love love - Say hello to my pretty things...

LA Colors Nail Lacquer - Purple
LA Nail Lacquer in French Manicure - Purple
Wallet Damage: Php 60.00
Where to buy: Market! Market! Taguig City - Department Store/Beauty Section - 1st Floor
I am bit hesitant at first to buy this color due to numerous nail disasters I've encountered using muted/pastel colors from our local brands (they look too washed out or too muted resulting to dirty looking fingernails I so detest!). Good thing I bought it and I'm really glad I did. The color is very Essie-esque - dreamy and pretty in bottle and in fingernails, the pink is prominent in this shade with slight bluish hue which makes it light purple? I really don't know. Heh. IRL, it's really flattering and I got tons of compliment today about how nice and clean my nails were. Application is suprisingly easy - (again unlike the other muted colors I've tried, it felt like painting my nails with correction fluid, the horror!) - I swear I cannot fuck up the application of this nail polish no matter how lousy, how sleepy or how tired I am during the process. Yes, this nail polish brand forgives my shortcomings - LOL retouching is a breeze and all I need is my trusty top coat (Well, yes, a local brand) to make it fresh and shiny.
This one is a gem - need to have back-ups! :D
