Etude House's SM Megamall branch (Bldg A, near Toy Kingdom) opened today and I went to have a look. I really only intended to LOOK, but I ended up buying some stuff! And why is that?
I am VERY HAPPY to report that Etude House's local prices are extremely reasonable, perhaps even more so than The Face Shop and Elianto. Take that, Skin Food!
Isn't their store packaging super girly? The WHOLE store is super girly, actually. My brother, who I was with at the time, wouldn't even go NEAR it!
These are what I bought, all for only the grand total of P900.00. (Try taking that amount to Skin Food and see how little you can get hahaha! But don't get me wrong, I still love Skin Food, not just its overly jacked-up local prices!)
One polish from their Petit Darling Nails line (pink handle, P48.00 - yes, ONLY P48.00!), two polishes from their Petit Darling Nails - High Beam line (metallic purple handle, P98.00 each), their much-raved about Fresh Cherry Tint in Red (P328.00), and their Lovely Cookie Blusher in shade #2 (P328.00).
Here's what the blush looks like opened:
And I'm pretty sure most of you Korean makeup fans are familiar with the FCT's appearance:
I didn't browse around their Skin Care section as I was in a rush, but if these prices I mentioned are any indication, their popular skin products are bound to be cheap too!
Reviews of the tint and blush coming soon! (Check out The Nail Polish Ninja for swatches of the three polishes too!)
Please note that since the store is very new, the staff is still very inexperienced. The SAs are kind, but don't expect them to be able to answer your questions. Hopefully they will get better as time passes.

ReplyDeletewow you're able to pull up that bright cheek tint! isn't it a bit drying though since it's long lasting? I love Etude House I bought their Precious mineral BB Cream in Sheer Glowing :)
ReplyDelete^Hello! Actually it's not a cheek tint, just a lip tint. :) It's not drying at all - the consistency is just right for me.
ReplyDeletewow! that's a lot for 900. i heard it's even cheaper than the face shop. I want to go therrreeee!.. lol. im excited.
ReplyDeleteholy cow..the prices are totally awesome!..i wanna try the lip glosses i've been oogling in various websites..hopefully they'll open a branch in Ayala Cebu or SM Cebu..take that Skin Food and the Face Shop!
