Etude House Pink Bird Pink Box Review // Arctic Aurora Colors Shadows

Hey guys. I'm back with another Pink Bird Review. This box was actually sent to me a little bit ago. I recently had sinus surgery and I'm finally starting to feel better. Thank goodness! 

This Pink Box was kind of like a Christmas/New Years Gift with a Thank You note in it. 

The first thing I noticed was the thank you note. It looks like the carriage from Cinderella and it's got 2015 Happy New Year  on it. It's a pop up card. It's so cute. 

Of course Etude House always sends pamphlets with info about the products that were sent. This pamphlet has info about calendar and the cute card.

After seeing the card, the next thing I noticed was the Etti Block Calendar. Etti is the official mascot (if you will) of Etude House. She's this cute little kitty cat. She's so cute perched on the top of the calendar.

The calendar is like Lego blocks. You can stack them according to what days fall where during each month. You can also place a block on the date where your birthday should be, a day you might want to go shopping and so forth.

It's super cute. I love little things like this. 

 The other items that were sent to me in this box were the Arctic Aurora Colors Shadows. 

The next pamphlet has info about the lovely eye shadows.

I was sent 5 shades. They all remind me of something Elsa from Frozen would wear. Most of the shades are shimmery. Only one has more of a matte finish. (Disclaimer: I should have put primer on my skin before putting these shadows on. I apologize. I will update this post with new pics with the shadow WITH primer. Each picture of my hand has the shadows on it starting with the first color, then the first & second color, first, second & third color and so on)

This first shade is called Igloo of Siberia (WH902) It is a very light shadow. It's a shimmery white color with a hint of pink in it. It's very light so I will most likely be using this shadow on my brow bone to highlight it and in the inner corners of my eyes. 

This next shade is called White Night of Arctic (BK801) It is a grey colored shadow. It looks a lot darker in the compact than it does on your skin. I was surprised. It's a light grey color. I would probably use this as a primary color on my eyelids. It's a pretty color. 

This next color is called Fruit Sorbets (OR205) This color is really pretty. This is the shadow that is matte (in my opinion) It has a nice creamy texture. It glides on so smooth! I love it. I think this is one of my favorite ones!

The next one is called Tip of an Iceberg (GR705) This is a light blue/green shadow. I feel like if Elsa from Frozen was to choose one of these eye shadows she would choose this one. This one is shimmery like the majority of the shadows. I would probably use this in the inner corners of my eyes.

The last shadow is named Dancing Aurora (PK006) Makes me think of Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty ^.^ This shadow, like the grey one, is darker in it's compact as opposed to on your skin. Even though it looks like a maroon color it's a actually a lighter pink shade.

I'm so happy I get to add these eye shadows to my makeup collection. These five colors are some of the many colors  Etude House has to offer from their Look at my Eye Shadow Collection. You can find colors WH902, OR205 & BK801 here and the colors PKoo6 & GR705 here

Etude House Pink Box // Pink Bird Review - Pink Wish Tree

Hey guys! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! I'm back with another Pink Box Review from Etude House! It's been super busy with all of the holidays and work on top of that, I haven't been able to do much on here and I apologize for that. 

Etude House is good for always surprising me with a Pink Box at my doorstep. 

This Pink Box Theme is Pink Wish Tree. This Pink Box is special not just because it's Christmas themed but because of what the products represent. 

For each Pink Wish item sold a portion of the product will go towards the School Me Campaign by Save The Children. For each item ₩100 will be donated. That's around $0.10 per item. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but it is. Imagine all those items being sold online and it stores. It really does add up. 

The money will go towards providing educational opportunities for girls in four different countries in Africa: Sierra Leone, Libreria, the Republic of Cote d'lvire, and Uganda. This campaign helps provide resources for girls who can't afford to be educated because of domestic duties, early marriage and poverty. This campaign hits home for me. My father is from Nigeria and I have lots of family there. They have been blessed enough to go to school but I know some kids don't have that opportunity. So this really hit home for me! I think this is a great campaign and I'm so happy to be apart of it. You can be too. And that's what's so awesome about it!

This Pink Box has a lot of great items. The first two items are cute hair ties. Red and green Christmas themed. 

The next three items are scented lip balms.  They look cute and smell amazing!

The gold tube is peach scented. Smells like a peach cobbler. Lol! 

The red tube is cherry scented. I'm not a big fan of cherries unless they're in my drink. Lol!

The last one is strawberry scented. This is probably my favorite one. It smells so good! 

These lip balms aren't very pigmented so they are great to wear when you just need some moisture on your lips or when you need your lips moisturized before you put some lipstick on. 

My lips feel nice! They look nice too don't you think?! 

A Precious Mineral Any Cushion! Yah! Lol! I was sent the W13 shade. The green compact.

Just like the other precious mineral compacts, this comes with a sponge applicator and a mirror. 

The color seems a bit light at first but it blends nicely. It's the same formula as the other precious mineral any cushions it's just packaged differently for the sake of the Pink Wish Tree Campaign. 

The last three items from this Pink Box are some lovely Play Nail Polishes. One solid color and two festive glitter polishes. I painted my moms nails because I had no chip polish on my fingers at the time.

There's the lovely Christmas red. 

There's also the festive green and red glitter polish. I like the long green glitter. It's different and fun. 

Everyone loves glitter and gold right?! These colors go great together. 

These items are fun. Even though they are Christmas themed and Christmas is over you can still purchase them online at etudehouse.com 

You can find these items and more online.

You can find the Pink Wish Tree Precious Mineral Any Cushion here.

You can find the Pink Wish Tree KissFull Lip Care Box here.

Until next time loves,

Etude House Pink Box // Pink Bird Review - My Castle

Hey guys! It's been a pretty busy month for me! Thanksgiving has come and gone already! Black Friday as well! (Working 2 retail jobs, Black Friday was a looooooong day for me! LOL!) I've had this Pink Box for a bit but I'm just now finally getting the chance to share it with you guys. 

This Pink Box theme is the Pink Castle lotion set. 

It comes in a cute box showcasing the different lotions and their scents (and their colors!)

Each lotion looks like a house and has it's own unique look to it!

You can scratch and sniff the "door" on the lotion to see what it smells like before opening up the product! So cute!

Again the casing of these products is so cute! I wonder what the casing of them individually looks like as well!

First we have "Sweet Cookie" It looks like a house from the game Candy Land or Hansel and Gretel.

Look at the little person hiding inside! He's so cute!

This lotion is a light beige color. It truly does smell like cookies. It smells like a sugar cookie! I looooove sugar cookies!

You're probably wondering why I have my whole finger in the jar. I wanted to see if the whole container was full or not. It goes all the way to the bottom.

It has a thick, creamy consistency. Perfect for the cold winter days we have here in Chicago. 

Next we have "Pink Wish" It stood out to me right away because, well, it's pink. 

It looks like it should be one of Cinderella's guest houses! It's so cute!

This lotion is a light pink color and it smells of roses. I like the smell of roses so it doesn't bother me but some people don't care for that smell.

It also has a thick and creamy consistency. 

Then we have Forever Rose. I don't know why but it reminds me of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Maybe it's the pretty gates that remind me of that castle.

This lotion is a pink/purplish color. It smells slightly of roses but it also smells of other fruits. The smell of roses is not dominant in this one. It reminds me of fruity perfumes I used to wear, like Britney Spears perfumes.

Like the other lotions, this is thick in consistency as well.

Last but not least we have the "Ice Frozen" lotion AKA the Elsa Castle! LOL!

There's a cute looking reflective mirror on one side of the castle. If I was a child, these would be my doll's castles. They are so cute!

The color and design of this castle reminds me of Elsa and Frozen. I don't know if that's what they were going for but that's what I got from it!

This lotion is a light blue color and it reminds me of something bright and fresh. You know how new laundry smells fresh. Kind of like that. It doesn't necessarily smell like laundry but it's got a fresh, slightly floral lavender smell to it.

It's also very thick in consistency as well.

So there you have it you guys! These lotions are beyond cute! They are perfect gifts for stocking stuffers I think those young and old will enjoy these! They are so adorable! You can find them on Etude House's website. You can buy them individually here for $6 a piece. You can also find the set that they sent to me here for $24.

Make sure to check out other goodies from Etude House on their site www.etudehouse.com Starting on Dec. 3rd-Dec. 5th  they are having their Princess Days Event which is free standard shipping on all orders $50 and above. You know what that means! Christmas gifts for everyone!

You can keep up with Etude House on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.
