Review) Etude House Sun-Prise Cotton Touch Powder Cream

Yet another review! 
I'm writing a blog post to procrastinate from doing anthro/psyche/socio homework. 
I'm taking the course online and I'ts actually really nice. 
I've only been in it for a week but the amount of work is really minimal. 
I think we have like 4-5 units and 3-4 assignments in each. 
I don't know for sure yet, but I think its gonna be a really chill online semester. 
I recommend online courses (that aren't heavy in material) so that you can have a spare in school :) 

Back to the blog post.. today I'm going to review the multi-functioning  Etude House Primer. 
I bought this quite a while ago, I think back in May? 

I actually wanted the Banila co. Primer because it had so much hype in korea and was also featured on 
Get It Beauty's weekly rankings (I think its weekly...) 
But I just wasn't into paying $18-19 I found online.
So I came across the Etude House Sun-prise and fell for the numerous functions it had to offer. 

Also I think the name of the product is so creative :) 
"SUN" "PRISE"-- like "SURPRISE" :)) 


This primer claims to:
 -create a light soft/matte primer/makeup base 
-be long lasting 
-fill in wrinkles 
-cancel redness
-Oil control
-50+ SPF/PA+++
and 
-pore filling and care

SO MANY!!
and they're all what an average teenage girl wants! 
(except wrinkle care,,,, I dunno what they're trying to imply. 
wrinkle care in a teens product? ) 




The little illust is so cute :) 
Reminds me of the Big Comfy Couch glasses. 
(ahhh, childhood memories) 






50+ SPF/PA+++
Really high SPF






It's packaged in this box. 







The actual product is packaged in this metal(?) tube. 






The tube itself  is exactly the same as the box, design-wise. 






I'm not really a big fan of the metal tube packaging. 
I feel like when I'm close to finishing the product it'll be difficult to get all the product out. 
I also don't like how the tube changes shape as I use it up. 
I prefer the normal plastic tube packaging over this one. 





The screw top is such an adorable baby pinkish colour! 
So "Etude House" of them :) 

I thought it was quite interesting how the tube itself was metal 
and the part where the product comes out is plastic. 




The cream is purple in colour. 
I think that cancels out darkening in the skin and I guess redness because its one of the functions. 
I'm not sure if you can see but there are little micro-balls in the cream. 
I'm not sure exactly what it does though.. 
It applies REALLY matte. I love it! 


Recommend?
I absolutely recommend this! 
I use it everyday and I think it controls oil well and keeps the makeup from melting off your face in the summer. I love the matte, smooth, baby butt texture after I apply this. I don't know what else to say. It's a really nice product and stays true to most of their claims, I'm not entirely sure about the wrinkle function... 


I bought this on eBay for around $6 on a bid. 
The normal price is about 13000 won in korea or about $13. 
I also bought a back-up, but its not the cotton-touch one, its the natural corrector or something... 
BUT ITS IN A PLASTIC TUBE THIS TIME!! 

If its hard to find the cotton touch version, you can probably find the sun-prise natural corrector. 
I heard its equally as good. Theres many korean bloggers saying that the natural corrector is good too. 
I don't think the cotton-touch is as popular though, but it's a great product : )

Review) TonyMoly fresh aqua cooling 24 eye stick

I have been for the past months loving this eye stick!

I bought it on eBay through an auction about 3 months ago and have since then been using this non stop!



This product is from TONYMOLY!
My favourite korean cosmetic brand!





This product is supposed to cool your tired eyes and add moisture to dry eyes. 



It is a 9g solid eye serum. 
This product is targeted towards students who have tired eyes from studying all day. 
It is also safe to apply on top of a full face of makeup. 



I have also heard that this is a dupe for the Guerlain eye stick (not sure of the name).



I bought 2 of the eye sticks and it came with 2 free mask sheet packs.






If you were wondering how the size was, the length is about 3 quarters long and as wide as a quarter. 
It's a really nice portable size and really cute! 



When you first open it, the top is sealed with a little plastic cap to keep the moisture in and for extra safe hygiene issues. 



This is how much I have used in the past 3 months! 

I believe this product would take on average 6-8 months to finish! 





One thing I don't like is that the writing wipes off. 
But I guess that's with all makeup containers. 
It's something you can't avoid,,,, 



I'm sorry that you have to look at my no makeup eye bags...... 

You can totally see the difference though!

This product does exactly what it claims to do! 
It provides hydration to sensitive under eyes and has the instant cooling effect! 
It is perfect for high school or university students who study for long periods of time.
I also believe that it helped with my under eye wrinkles. 
I had tiny wrinkles under my 애교살 (aegyosal- under eye bags) 
After using this product for a few months my wrinkles have reduced if not completely disappeared! 

I really recommend purchasing this product! 

This product retails for 6000 won in Korea, approx, $6 cad. 
I bought this product on eBay for $12 for 2 equalling to $6 for one. 
I don't have the exact URL however, there are many sites that sell this.
