Etude House Sweet Heart Capsule #3 ceramide review
Snip the tip off one capsule and extract oil.
Apply oil to face and massage into skin until absorbed.
A total of 3 types in the series, I bought all 3.
Will review the one that contain 2% creamide in this post.
Etude House Sweet Heart Capsule- #3 Ceramide
All the 3 capsule has different funtion, the #3 on is for hydrating.
The texture of the content is a bit to the thick side but it’s not greasy at all when applied on the skin. My skin instantly smoothens when I applied it. The texture and effect is identical to those expensive capsules I have used before. Etude house is only selling at around $15 for 7pc. I think this product is really a good deal.
Worst product of the week
Yes, it’s the worst product I have every used this week.
Detail about the products:
· Cleansing oil formulated with coal, lemon and grape seed
· Coal supposed to draws out dirt and grime from within the pores
· It also contains fir tree oil that prevents breakouts and marshmallow extract to absorb oil and residues for clear, smooth skin without irritation.
· Pack Size - 60ml
Direction:
· After cleansing and patting skin dry, apply and massage oil on affected areas (while the gentle massaging action dissolves blackheads and remove impurities)
· . Leave on for 15-20 minutes, tissue off and then thoroughly rinse to remove excess oil.
· After cleansing and patting skin dry, apply and massage oil on affected areas. Leave on for 15-20 minutes, tissue off and then thoroughly rinse to remove excess oil.
Review:
To be honest, I think it’s like a normal oil base makeup removal. Just a lot more expensive. I don’t see my blackhead getting lesser after I used it. I have used Biore oil base makeup removal and I think it remove impurities equally well and it’s a lot cheaper.
My fav product of the week…..
I have 2 this week; it’s the holika white egg soap and the etude bb cream removal.
Why the white egg?
The white egg cleans really well. Thought it leave a rubbery feeling after wash, it does not dry up my skin. My skin does not feel tight after washing. It has nearly no fragrance at all.
Some detail i found online
Package Weight: 150 (g)
Product is endorsed by CNBlue.Top Selling Product from Holika Holika.
Suspose to tightens pores and make your skin sleek.
Suspose to foams easily and can be use as a cleanser and mask.
After 4 weeks, it should help to reduce your blackheads.
Made in Korea
Suitable for all skin type
How to use:
As soap: Make foam on your Palm using lukewarm water and massage gently and rinse off
As mask: Make foam on your Palm using lukewarm water and massage enough until it changed like fine cream type and rinse off
I really like these products because it removes makeup very well. To use this , we have to wet our face first before apply the cleanser. I like it manily beacuse it can be used on wet face, unlike oil or cream base makeup removal. Plus, it clenase thoroughly without leaving skin feeling dry and irritated. No need to use facial wash after removing of make up ;) But i'm abit KS so will cleanse again if i'm not too lazy.. lol...

Chanel Rouge Coco shine lipsticks (review n swatches)
Metro had 20% storewide last week and I took the opportunity to buy some things from Chanel.
I bought 1 blusher and 2 lip sticks from the Chanel's latest lipstick collection: Rouge Coco Shine @ $44 each. The whole collection consist 25 colours of which only 20 will be available in Singapore (read from Her World).
More details from her world:
http://www.herworld.com/beauty/tried-tested/chanels-rouge-coco-lipstick-rouge-coco-shine
Chanel’s Rouge Coco lipstick was launched in 2010 as part of the brand’s attempt to convince young women to wear lipstick again, rather than lipgloss, and was the brainchild of makeup guru Peter Philips, who was named creative director of Chanel Makeup in 2008
Now the brand has released a new “shimmer” version – nothing so gauche as a gloss – the Rouge Coco Shine. It’s a semi-sheer lipstick containing Hydratender complex for reportedly up to eight hours of hydration and comes in 25 shades – although only 20 of those will be available in Singapore
I bought Boy (54) and Liberte (46). I find the current Rouge Coco collection to be slightly moisturizing only; the lipsticks also have nice shimmer. It has a light vanilla-rose scent that’s rather faint but still detectable when you are applying and fade off quite fast.
I'm slightly disappointed with its moisturizing power, it will be good if its more moisturizing. The pigmentation of the lipstick is also toward the sheer side but the shimmer was really pretty. The lipstick is quite small, very portable.
The only bugging problem i have with the lipstick is the mechanism, which the lipstick was raised out of the casing. Instead of turning the base (like normal lipstick) to get the product out, for this collection, we got to turn the tube part to get the product out. Which mean our hand is placed very near to the product and we could accidentally touch the product while turning, not very hygiene lei….

According to my SA, Boy is the most popular colour, I think its true as they do not have stock for it when I was there. I have no choice but to pay first and go back again when the stock is in.
My kind Sa also give me a sample palette which include the following 4 colours from the collection:
62 monte-carlo, 54 boy, 46 liberte and 57 aventure
