I really should stop going to this store. My savings have started suffering ever since I discovered Etude House T__T I just can't help myself, I want everything they have in there! It's gotten even worse ever since my sister started liking the store too after seeing it in the Korean drama "You're Beautiful".
Anyway, our family went to Megamall this morning to have lunch with some relatives at Saisaki/Dad's. And of course, no trip to Megamall is complete without a visit to Etude House, but this time I was there for a specific reason. Brinks asked me to get her a tube of the BB Magic Cream I've been telling her about. I promised myself that was all I'm going to buy today ... which of course didn't happen.
Here's my haul for today:
Two bottles of nailpolish and some nail art stickers. I've never tried any type of nail art before (at least I don't think so), and I've always been curious about those nail stickers. I see them all the time when I buy something since they're right next to the register, so I decided to try them out.

Apricot stick #3. This thing smells so good! I love it~ And the color's really nice too. I've been looking for a substitute to my Burt's Bees tinted lip balm (my favorite lip product right now), and this looks promising. And it's only P198, weeeee~
EDIT: I've been using this for over a month now and I still love it. I just wish it was more moisturizing on my lips, like my Burt's Bees lip balm. But other than that it's great :D

Fresh Nailwash Safe: Nail color remover. I normally use Sally Hansen's nail polish remover and it works well for me, but I've heard good reviews about this product so I decided to try it out. The thing I love most about it is the smell. It doesn't have that strong chemical smell that most nail polish removers have. I mean it still smells like nail polish remover, but it doesn't burn my nostrils as much as the others. It also leaves a sweet fruity (?) scent on your nails after you use it. This also comes in blue, which supposedly has a different scent, but when I tried it at the store they smelled the same, so I went for the pink one. The best part? It's only P78!

And of course, Brinks' BB cream. I've been using this for about 2 months now and I love it. It evens out my skin tone and covers up my blemishes pretty well. It also gives my skin that dewy effect :)

BB stands for "blemish balm". Basically, this product is supposed to conceal your blemishes, and at the same time, improve your skin complexion. Skin care and makeup in one product, wow~
When I first started using it, I started getting pimples on my forehead, so I thought I was allergic to it. I've read reviews where people claim to have broken out because of certain BB creams (though I haven't come across reviews saying that Etude's BB cream caused them to break out). It made me so sad because I was excited about this product. But, because I didn't want my money to go to waste, I continued using it, hoping that my breakout was just due to my period. After a while, my pimples started to clear up, so I guess it the BB cream wasn't to blame, phew! I still get breakouts once a month, but I'm pretty sure its due to hormones (since they happen right before my period) and not my BB cream.
I love how it looks on my skin, but I'm not really sure about the skin care part of it. So far I haven't seen any drastic improvements in my skin, but my boyfriend's been telling me that my acne scars have lightened and that my skin's much clearer now. Weeee~ (Although that could just be because the BB cream conceals my scars pretty well)
