Review: Etude House's Juicy Cocktail Gradation Nails 01 Screw Driver

I got this mini set as a gift from a friend and I've already tried it out because it looked really interesting. 
First off, Etude house is well known for extremely cute packaging for all their products so this didn't surprise me at all. Back to the topic, these colours are like, PERFECT for summer/spring so that's why I just had to try it. The first colour (the pale coral colour) is the base colour and it is very sheer and almost clear so you can either put one coat or two coats (I put one coat) to make it more opaque depending on how you like it. The second (orange glittery) colour is supposed to be put half way down your nail and the third colour (red glittery) colour is supposed to be put sort of on the tip of your nail. 

This set is totally adorable and look amazing when they're on! They don't create streaks or harsh lines that split the colours. They softly blend into each colour perfectly and creates a really cute summery gradation manicure. 

Packaging: 4.5/5
Quality: 5/5
Reccomend: Yes, I totally recommend this nail polish trio, especially during spring/summer it would look like a 'glam bam' which is freaking GOOD! 5/5! I totally recommend this! 

Etude house did a very good job on this product!

Review: EOS Sweet Mint Lip Balm


Okay, my friend gave me this lip balm as a gift from America. At first I thought the packaging was adorable and was similar to my Etude House's egg lip balm which was made after EOS (mine smelt like peach) because the minty colour is just really adorable! It smells exactly like Mentos! I love it! Also, it's not a strong that's too strong, but it's still a noticeable smell that's very accurate to it's name 'Sweet Mint' they could call it Mentos haha! But, it also smells like mint flavoured bubblegum which I thought was great. 

But anyways, when I used it I thought it would be like an average lip balm, except a minute after putting it on I felt a minty tingliness on my lips!  It was a really fresh minty feeling! I got addicted to using it because I loved the tingly feeling on my lips each time! I felt that it moisturized my lips pretty well. It didn't stay on as long as Baby Lips but it still did stay on for a long time, although I'm not sure whether I licked my lips or not. Anyways, it even tastes minty and It's organic and uses natural products AND they're against testing on animals! 

All in all, I think it's an amazing lip balm and it's minty tingly feeling on the lips a minute after applying is a highlight for this product. It smells really accurate! EXACTLY THE SAME AS MENTOS AND MINT BUBBLEGUM! I <3 IT! 

Moisturizing: 3.5/5
Price: Decent
Packaging: 4.5/5
Scent: 5/5
Repurchase: Definitely.

Review: Soap & Glory's Sugar Crush Body Buttercream

Hey guys! I got this baby at Sephora. The cute, pink packaging caught my eye. Also, the descriptions on the packaging is really funny and adorable! ^^ I took a sniff of the sample and WOAH! It smelt exactly like lemon icing. I am in LOVE with lemon icing and cupcakes and everything. So when I smelt this I bought it right away. It's supposed to smell like sugary lime but watev. It smells like lemon icing. Well, it smells like the taste of lemon icing to be exact. You know what I mean? Probably not. Anyways, back to the topic.

Moisturising: It's really moisturising (I have dry skin *sadface*) and it doesn't feel sticky or oily. It feels completely UNgross. Which is a really good thing! :) It takes a tiny while to sink into your skin. And what I mean by a tiny bit is a few seconds. Which is great. Obviously. I also like that it didn't give me a rash or cause redness and I didn't have a reaction to this (I have eczema). 

Smell: The smell is mostly why I purchased it. It smells like lemon icing (or you could say sugary lime). It's supposed to smell like sugary lime, and it does! It's a really subtle, soft smell which I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The smell stays on you for 3-4hrs???? Yeah, something like that. I had my friends sniffing my arms (sounds weird I know...) because I smelt like lemon icing O.o By the way, if you want to wear like cologne or something make sure it sticks to the whole lime scent or you'll smell like a fruit basket gone wild. Which is a bad thing.

Packaging: The packaging is adorable! The description is adorbs! Everything is AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING. FUllstop!

Price: I got it for around SGD$25. Which I think is a pretty decent price for the amount of product. You get 300ml! I would definitely repurchase. But, I don't think I will ever finish it all... I use it every. single. freaking. day. I LUB ITTTT!!! I didn't get the whole soap & glory sugar crush set though. Because I sort of have sensitive skin and I wasn't sure about the scrub and stuff....

Anyways, sorry about the super long review!!! Here's the overall results! :D

Moisturizing: 4/5
Scent: 5/5
Packaging: 5/5
Price: 3/5 (5 is most expensive)
Repurchase: 5/5 (If i finish it...)
