Etude House Haul and SHINee

Without further ado, I present to you...the beautiful unveiling of my Etude House haul from Myeongdong. Please be forewarned that this post is extremely picture heavy and also filled with lots of pink.

Ahhh the glory...


Their latest hot item for spring is the Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk lipstick. Long story short, I ended up with two gift sets, enticed by the SHINee notebooks they came with.






Dear My Blooming Lips-talk Lipstick



I ended up with nine. Nine! haha Three are dupes though, and I've given one away already.


So out of the 24 available colors, I have six. Will post swatches in the not-too-far-away future.


Missing U, Bee Happy Hand Cream


I'd gotten one from Sheila for Secret Valentine and wanted this Queen Bee - Rose one as well. The second one I picked up as a gift. (I actually thought she was a princess slug, keke, oops.)


Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit in 03 Honey Beige


I've been using this ever since I got it and will post a review.


Snail Essence Darling Cream


I've been using this too as my night cream and will also post a review.


Bling Bling Eye Stick in 01 Shooting Star



Dr. Ampoule Dual Mask Sheets - Whitening and Vital Care


These came in sets that were buy 5 get 5 free, and the sets were also buy 1 get 1 free so it's like I paid 1/4 of the price.


Samples or "service"


Sadly, the least impressive compared to the other Korean beauty and skincare brands. I guess they figured all of my SHINee goodies were enough.


I...may have taken it as a personal challenge to collect SHINee goods while I was in Seoul, kekeke. Nothing like kpop to make me feel and wish that I was a teenager girl. XP

 

Kiss Note book



It's like the one in the Etude House cf mini drama.I won't make you watch it (this time) but the concept is like Death Note, except that when the girl (Sandara Park from 2NE1, or in your imagination, you, keke) write the name of a (SHINee) boy (with her lippie, of course), she receives a kiss from him.


The Kiss Note book contains pictures of Dara and SHINee from their cf.



The majority of the book has pages that look like the one on the right.


Etude House SHINee...planner/diary/notebook thingy



Truthfully, a bit disappointing since there aren't any images of SHINee inside, but still cute.




Etude House SHINee post-it note book



The images are the right are actually like post-it notes.


SHINee tin case




Inside is a teeny, tiny notepad. They're so wittle on the notes...the notepad actually stands up like an easel, but seeing their image so tiny on it makes me think of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when the tv addict boy gets shrunk down, haha.


And lastly...SHINee poster! They're playing with giant tubes of Etude House bb cream, ahaha. XD You have no idea what I went through to get this poster, so I must enjoy it while I can.


Hope you all have a lovely weekend!! ♥

  8. OMG so much pink! Haha I really just can't get into the whole Kpop boyband thing, I think it's because they're too pretty xD
    You'll have to review all 9 of those lippies!

  11. Wow so many Shinee products! It's a pity that there are no images inside that planner! Some girls in my dancing group had cheek color in that bee-thing it's so cute!! I think I'll need to visit the Etude House store in Tokyo at least once before I go home, didn't have the chance until now since Tokyo's quite far away :/

    And... who need 9 lipsticks at one time?! :D

    ReplyDelete
  12. GOSH! Much jelly with your Etude house goodies! The precious mineral BB is my favourite so far, and I love your Shinee PLanner. It so pinkish and I could make my schedule in there.. I wonder they have the planner in stores here. :/

  13. so CUTE.

    Etude House packing it just so cute.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Really appreciate that you didn't make us watch Dara in the Kiss Note video...it was so cringey... LOL

    Nice buys! I agree, I think if we were all just a bit younger we'd be even more crazy and girlish...Ahhh...

  15. ooooh! lovely haul! can't wait to see reviews. everything looks cute! etude's packaging is super adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I know, right? You should see the stores, totally pink! I'm going to try to take pics this week so I can post about the lippies (somewhat) soon!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Ohhh yay, glad you love the snail cream! I love SHINee, lol. The new bb cream is pretty good, I'm hoping to post a review on it soon!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Lol aw you're lucky you can call almost everyone OPPA, lolol. Ohh have you tried any Etude House products? You can get them online too!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love their packaging too! Even their pink shopping bags, lol. Sometimes it kills me when I realize some of their items are really targeted more for teenage girls. XP

    ReplyDelete
  20. Aww thank you! I'm trying to organize my pictures and posts but definitely want to post reviews from my hauls, hehe. Now I just need to make myself actually use those books. :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Aww that's so sweet of you to say, hehe, so understanding! You would have liked being in Seoul in April, tons of BIGBANG posters everywhere!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I think SHINee having their comeback around the same time I was in Seoul, and also being the face of Etude House, pushed to become even more of a SHINee fan, hehe. I'll definitely post swatches of all the lippies!

    ReplyDelete
  23. LOL okay, I'll try my best! Aww I can understand, I wasn't into kpop until a few years ago (that's recent compared to some who've been listening since the early '90s). Yeah...it can be a little disheartening to realize a Korean idol boy is not only prettier, but also slimmer and has better skin and hair (and sometimes makeup too) than I do! keke XP

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks for following! If you live in the U.S., unfortunately you'd have to order online if you want Etude House products. You can find them on ebay or websites like www.imomoko.com. I hope that helps!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I know, right? I felt duped, lol. Imagine how many other girls go crazy trying to get that freebie too (I think the only way to get it was to spend a large amount), only to realize SHINee is only on the cover and not inside. =X


    Ohh I didn't think of putting cheek color inside the hand cream container, cute idea! You should definitely visit the Etude House store! keke Technically I have 6, since 3 were the same color and I won't be keeping those. ;P

    ReplyDelete
  26. Aw thank you. Glad to hear you like the precious mineral bb cream too! You're also lucky you have access to Etude House stores! =)

    ReplyDelete
  27. LOL no forced video...this time! ;) Oh, I've seen (and read comments) from younger fans, and seen them in fan cam videos, keke. They go crazyyyyyy for their Kpop "oppas"! XD

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hehe agreed, they really put a lot of thought into their product design to grab our attention and love! <3

    ReplyDelete
  29. Lol I know, that's why I didn't list prices in this post. XP But remember, I desperately wanted a poster! lolol (And I didn't even get the one I'd wanted, haha.) Yeah I was surprised they didn't give more samples, especially considering that I really did spend a lot there. I'd spent so much less at Innisfree and gotten more samples there!

    I also like the tin case! It's small but cute. It would be awesome if they make more tin cases (and bigger ones) in the future...I only need so many SHINee diaries, kekeke.

  30. Niiiiice! I recently got 2 of the Etude lipsticks from this collection from CosmeticLove - would have loved to get your 9 instead though lol.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Ohh which colors did you get? I was actually only interested in getting 2 myself, but then the sales girl found the Kiss Note with the colors I liked, hehe, and of course, I had to buy enough for all the SHINee goods! ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love their packaging!! hehe Very pink and girly. Their shops are like that too. <3

    ReplyDelete
  33. Lovely haul!!! How adorable is Etude's packaging - I squealed at that hand cream!

    All of those lipstick shades look like they will be so pretty, especially the OR ones. Looking forward to your swatches hun! I miss Myeong Dong, I remember having a 30cm ice-cream last time I was there!! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  34.  Oh cool. Thanks! I'll have to check out imomoko.com then :-)

  35. Amazing haul!!! So you buy the sets with notebook and lipsticks? Wants!! XD
    I wanna go to Seoul!! XD

    ReplyDelete
  36. etude house is too adorable. Notebooks as well as makeup?! Love. :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Haha I got BE101 and OR204. It was so difficult narrowing it down to just 2 colors!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Nice choices! If I hadn't been visiting Korea, I probably would have only gotten 2 too. I wonder if some girls have all 24?!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Omg, 30cm ice cream! I must have that the next time I'm there, if I can find it, keke. What flavor was it? =P

    I really like their packaging too! I'm going to try to post swatches this week. *fingers crossed*

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yeah! hehe Kind of funny now that I think about it. The back of the Kiss Note book (or actually the plastic wrapper it was in) actually says "not for sale," so at first I thought it was just for display, lol. Etude House better be lucky I love SHINee (and I can't get Etude House for Korean retail prices here). XP

    I wanna go to Seoul again too! There's still a lot I didn't get to see or go to or do. I hope you get to go someday also!

    ReplyDelete
  41.  They know how to make us girls and fans open our wallets, kekeke. ;P

    ReplyDelete
  42. May i ask you? How to get the kiss note book? Must we buy more than 2 dear my lipstick? Please answer!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I bought it as part of a set with 5 Dear My Blooming lipsticks, but I have seen people get it when they order from different websites like ebay and Cosmetic-Love.com, so you can try checking those. Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Wow! Everything looks cute! I am so impressed!
