Etude House - Fresh Cherry Tint (Review)

I recently fell in love with the ulzzang gradient lip look when my Dongsaeng created it for me before we went to a party. Ever since I have been looking for a decent lip tint in local stores, but was disappointed at the lack of vibrance in colour of these products. So I continued my search on e-bay where I soon caught eye of Etude House's "Fresh Cherry Tint".


Together with some other products I ordered the Fresh Cherry Tint from my favourite Ebay seller iamlove-shop in RD301 Cherry Red for 3,45€. (At this point I would like to warmly recommend you iamlove-shop for Korean beauty products. Their service is fast and easy, all products are free shipping worldwide and they usually add tons of samples to your order!)

Moist and soft like milk & shiny like cherries
"With moisturizing ingredients like Shea butter and glycerin soften your lips and keep them moisturized for a long time. Apply to your lips and you will have clear and shiny cherry red lips! Berries add Vitamin C and minerals to this lip tint to keep them shiny and healthy for a long time"

5 things Korean culture taught me about friendship

When my interest for the Korean culture first sparked earlier this year, it felt quite lonely at the beginning. Here I was, lost in a world of BigBang, Kimchi and K-Dramas with nobody to share my excitement with. That was until I met a few members from the Language Cast initiative from our university, which soon turned out to be a community of Korean exchange students and locals who constantly visit each others homes, cook for each other, go out together or have picnic parties (with lots of Soju) in order to learn more about each other's language and culture. Here's what I've learned so far, from my Korean friends.


HeartBeats (Week 1) - Jay Park, Wilco, Orange Caramel



Jay Park - Joah 좋아
I was introduced to Joah by my friend Jiwon who kept singing/playing it a lot and incidentally it became my favourite song. I love how uplifting and sweet the melody/lyrics are. Not only did I fall in love with this song, I also fell in love with Jay Park's voice. 너무 좋아~

Call me a nerd but there is something fun about sitting down with markers, a nice cup of tea and spending hours with expanding my knowledge. I seem to get a strange kick out of it ~ and the best part of studying well is always being rewarded with a good grade! As it is exam week at the moment I thought would be a good time to share my personal studying tips with you!
