If you are into Korean makeup, you will definitely know my plight when it comes to having unreasonable high priced cosmetics in Singapore compared to Korea. Of course, it is understandable since they are being shipped here and the exchange rates difference what not. I'm a huuuuge sucker for makeup especially Korean brands because their skincare works for me and some products are surprisingly comparable to reputable brands in the market in terms of effectiveness. They are so much cheaper too!
Etude House is one brand you would not miss when it comes to this field. I love their toners, eye shadows and their brow products. Saviors for my sad non-existent brows! Two weeks ago, I took advantage of the 30% store wide member sales at Etude House!

Drawing Eyebrow #2 Gray Brown S$5.90 / ₩2,500
I swear by these pencils. They were my first brow products I tried and I've stuck with them ever since. They have an angular tip for easy shaping of your desired brows. Moreover, they have a wide range of brown and grey colors which is great for people with brown hair like myself.
Personally, I use #3 and my sister who has black hair uses #2. Usually, I will shape my brows with these babies and then go over them with the Color My Brows which I will further mention down below!
I am unsure if this is a new release but it was the first time I saw them in stores. There are three new colors other than the usual six colors. I got the ones in #7 Light Brown which is perfect for my hair color right now!
I am unsure if it is really 30% more product as shown in the advertisement above but I remember it being the same length as the usual ones. I have yet to try it as I have not finish using my current pencils but I'm really excited to test these out!
The difference about these are that one end is an angled tip pencil and the other is a brown eye shadow. So awesome because the shadow will make the brows be drawn more naturally, blend properly and set the brows from "disappearing" throughout the day.
Honestly, I have never tried drawing my brows with just eye shadow since I've oily combination skin type so powder products does not last long on me. :( I would still use the shadow of this product as a blending tool for the front of my brows but I guess I would have to set the brow mascara over for lasting power. Pretty excited to try this out too!
Color My Brows #02 Light Brown S$16.90 / ₩8,000
These are the second item after my brows pencil I cannot live without. They changed my life seriously!! I used to have the problem of my brow "disappearing" by half of the day because I've really oily skin type. These are so easy to use, coats my brow with the shade of brown I need to match my hair and my brows easily last more than 12 hours. Not even exaggerating!
I wear these everyday without fail ever since I chanced upon them. Life necessities!! During the sale I bought one with 900g in #02 Light Brown which was twice the amount of the usual ones and the price difference was just $4 ~ $5??!?! All I can say is no hesitations were needed. These are topping my to-buy-list for my Korea makeup shopping which is happening later this year.
Lash Perm Curl Fix Mascara #01 Black S$24.90 / ₩12,000
Firstly, Krystal is bae. Secondy, she looks fab in anything and I'd buy anything bae looks fab in.
This mascara had me when I was watching reviews quite sometime ago. I immediately used it the next day and I've to say this is pretty good. The curl staying power lasted me the whole day and anything that can allow my stick straight lashes curl for hours is something worth trying. There are three colors in the range and I'm curious how the pink will look like honestly...
The only downside is it is pretty clumpy but maybe because it was my first few uses so there were a lot of product on the brush. Other than that, this is quite on par with my cult favorite Kiss Me mascaras. I will have to continue using to know!
Chanced upon these in store and I had my eyes set to get them in Korea but this sale got me. This is highly recommended if you have many single eye shadows lying around. I think it would be a good item to create your own palette by combining your favorite shadows into one handy palette. Awesome for travel or everyday use!
Since I'm inclined to using eye shadows on a daily basis nowadays, I am going to purchase more shadows and fill this up real soon!
Taking off makeup can be a hassle but this made removing so much easier! The moisture factor is a huge plus point! I dislike the feeling of my facial oils being stripped off which I guessed was why my face secreted even more oils to compensate it when I was using those type of removers. This cleansing oil was nothing of that sort at all!
Initially, what drew my attention to these cleansing oils was that they won on Get It Beauty for the cleansing oil category which had well known items on the list such as the Shu Umera one. If you are into skincare, you will definitely know that! After that. I knew I had to try this and they changed me as much as how my brow items did! This removes all my makeup even my waterproof mascaras! Rub the oil onto your face with dry hands then double rub it with wet hands, all is off! If you are on the hunt for a good moisturizing cleansing oil that works or you are new in the field, try this one and thank me later. ;)
That's all for my haul! I was really happy to have saved about $30 from this sale. Korean brands should have sales in Singapore more often, I'll be first in line hahaha.
Thanks for reading,
Jinny
