Etude House Haul & Review

One of my favourite places to browse for cute clothes is YesStyle, but it's only been recently that I've started to look at the beauty products on the site. Like any online marketplace, I've always been a little wary about ordering things in case they turn out to be really bad quality and are a hassle to return. I've ordered from YesStyle twice now and have yet to be disappointed! So, if you're looking for a place that sells quality Asian fashion and beauty products I highly recommend YesStyle.

My most recent purchases from the site were a number of products from the popular Korean beauty brand, Etude House. I had heard good things about the brand and being a complete sucker for cute packaging I just knew that I had to try the products myself.


The first product I bought was one of the nail polishes. Blue is my favourite colour and I do not have enough blue nail polishes in my collection! I only needed to apply one coat to my nails and it dried fairly quickly. However, I only had it on for about a day before it started to chip. It may last longer if you apple a base or top coat which I didn't do. Despite the chipping, I do really love the colour and the lace detailing on the packaging. It didn't break the bank either at only £2.81.


I don't know about you, but when it comes to buying the essential basics I am the worst. I will go out with the intention of buying a pair of tights, or some plain leggings, or some make-up wipes and end up coming home with a bagful of stuff but none of it the stuff that I actually needed. I had needed a new pair of tweezers for ages, but every time I planned on buying some, I seemed to 'forget.' But when I saw these I knew that I HAD to have them. I instantly fell in love with these cat tweezers. Not only are they super cute but they do their job in helping me keep my unruly eyebrows at bay.

I also decided to try the Green Tea cleansing foam. I'm rubbish when it comes to skin care routines and looking after my skin in general and I really want to try and change that. All you need to do with this is simply wet your face, lather the product up and apply onto your skin. After rinsing it off, my skin feels soft and clean! It's also suitable for people with sensitive skin. There are other products with different purposes in the range, this being number 5 - Fresh & Clean.

I'm one of those people who gets rather excited about anything pumpkin flavoured. I'm not entirely sure why as I've never actually tried pumpkin itself. I blame the Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks! But something I had never come across before was a pumpkin flavoured/scented beauty product. As soon as I saw this I knew I had to try it! Despite not actually stating it, I think this a face mask. You've to apply the product in an even layer on your face and then rinse after 10-15 minutes. I've still to try it so I'm not sure how good the product is yet, but I love the idea of it being in a mini pack! I'm a sucker for minis.

The final product I bought is by far my favourite. It is just too cute! It's pretty much just your bog standard hand cream but it's the packaging that makes me squeal with joy. IT'S A PANDA! Cutest hand cream ever. There's a picture of a peach on the front of it which makes me assume that it's meant to be peach scented, however, there's no real scent to the product at all. It just smells like a basic hand cream. However, the packaging totally makes up for it!

I can definitely see myself buying a few more Etude House products in the future. I'm also desperate to try some Tony Moly products which is another Korean beauty brand you can find on YesStyle. Let me know if you've tried any products from Etude House or Tony Moly, or if you've purchased anything from YesStyle and whether you're a fan of these online Asian fashion stores!
Until next time,
