Image
Brand: Etude House Line: Rub Me Tender Make-up Type: peeling spray Origin: South Korea Tested on Animals: Sold in China REVIEW Summary: Price:  12.99 Size: Packaging: green spray bottle with bubbles Scent: n/a Color/Shade: n/a Texture: like water Ease of use: spray and rub, but no peeling... Effect: none noted Lastability: n/a Claim: The verdict: I would never buy this again. It did not peel, it did not moisturize. Useless This was another product bought from the Etude House USA store and another peeling product. This one is a "fog"? In reality, it's just a spray. Not even a mist, but clear with a watery appearance. It's like spraying water on your face, but you only get a bit at a time. You can rub all you want, but you will only get a tiny bit of peeling- 1 or two tiny pieces- and you will have to rub at least 8 times.  By then your face will be red. I did not notice any difference in my skin afterwards. NONE. I would never buy this agai

REVIEW: Etude House (not cruelty free) Peach Water Gloss - Strawberry Milk- 3 Stars

Image
AmorePacific (parent company) announced they would no longer test on animals, but they refuse to pull out of China ($_$). Thus they cannot be considered cruelty-free. REVIEW: Etude House Peach Water Gloss (Strawberry Milk) Brand: Etude House Parent Company: AmorePacific Line: ? Make-up Type: Lip Gloss (sponge applicator) Origin:  South Korea Tested on Animals: Parent company AmorePacific committed to ending testing in MAy 2013, but has yet to pull out of China. Summary: The packaging is gorgeous, the color is gorgeous, but it's a little too sheer and has not so great coverage and lastability. The purpose of water gloss is to absorb into the lips and feel weightless and moisturized. This didn't happen...Great idea, not so great product quality. Price: $7.99 Size: standard Packaging: Comes with little box - the gloss tube is pretty and has the flower/tulip logo cover. Scent/taste: neutral Color: #2 Strawberry Milk Texture: a little sticky Ease of Use:

REVIEW: Etude House (not cruelty free) Magic Bubble Peeling (Foam) -2.5 stars

Image
Brand: Etude House Line: Magic Bubble Make-up Type: peeling foam Origin: South Korea Tested on Animals : Sold in China REVIEW Summary: Price:    14.99 (too expensive for the quality) 2/5 Size:  4.06 fl oz or 120 ml 3/5 Packaging:   Purple metal bottle with a nozzle. Art features a fairy/pixie. Not very eye-catching and more feminine than cute or girly. Etude always has a new theme gimmick line. 3/5 Scent:  faint foam smell Color/ Shade:  n/a Texture:  smooth foam turns sticky E ase of use:  Easy to push the button and get foam, but needs to be rubbed in over and over to create a peeling effect. This turns skin red. 2/5 Effect :  Somewhat smooth skin after-wards. Somewhat moisturized. What I would have expected from the failure of Moistful... Lastability: Large can, but alot of foam comes out at once. Not  long-lasting. 2/5 Claim:  The verdict:   I'm done with foam or spray or alternative peeling products. Only gel from here on out.
