Hey guys! Hope you haven't missed me too much. The semester is drawing to an end for me, so I've been swamped with work lately and haven't had time to line up posts. Fear not, however, as I am back with an awesome haul post with the much anticipated Etude House Sweet Recipe line.
I wonder what could be inside?
Doesn't it look just gorgeous? The first round of shipment finally came along to some selected Etude House boutiques in the Philippines. Specifically the only products out right now are the Berry Baby Choux Base, all the colors of the Sweet Recipe Candy Stick, all the colors of the Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color and all the Sweet Recipe Icecream Nails. I only got one color of the nail polish and skipped on the Candy Sticks (they aren't really my style), and the rest of the collection is due for arrival next week at the earliest. :)
You guys can also probably see that I stocked up on some of my Etude House essentials as I'm quickly running out (I use them so often!). So a quick rundown on everything I got.
I got four out of the five colors of the Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color. I forgot to get the other one, so I'll probably get it on Part II of this haul haha. The colors I have right now are PK 001 Blueberry Cheesecake, PK002 Strawberry Chiffon Cake, RD301 Raspberry Mousse Cake, and OR201 Orange Choux Cake. I forgot to pick up OR202 Peach Sugar Cake which is ironic since it was the one I was most looking forward to, but owell. I should be happy with what I have. I'll get the last one later :P
Don't they look absolutely gorgeous? I thought these would be creamier from the picture above, but they're almost like solid tints which can be used on the lips, cheeks and eyes. I'll do a full review on these once my collection is complete haha.
The next thing I got was one of the Sweet Recipe Icecream Nail colors in #1 Mint Choco Chip. I paired it off with an Etude House regular DBR401 Bravo Brown so I could do an Choco Syrup Ice Cream NOTD. Look forward to that! I didn't splurge too much on the other colors because I was pressed for cash but I might purchase them sometime in the future if I feel the intense want for them haha.
Isn't the packaging just gorgeous? I can't wait to actually try mine out.
And probably the product I've been anticipating most, Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base in Berry Choux. I really want to get the other colors - Mint Choux and Peach Choux when they're available, but for now I'm more than content with Berry Choux.
Berry Choux is supposedly for people with dull skin, Peach Choux for people of darker complexions for tone evening and Mint Choux to help with redness and acne. I tried this out when I got home and it really does leave a smooth canvas for your face on first impression. I'll try it out more to see how well it works in the humid Philippine climate before committing to the purchase of the other bases :)
In addition to these exciting purchases, I couldn't help but restock on some of my Etude House favorites when I saw they were in stock at my local Etude House. I've been using my Goodbye Pore Ever Pore Primer Stick religiously so it's no surprise that I repurchased. I also tried out the Goodbye Pore Ever Pore Primer Essence so I could do a comparison on the two. I hope you're looking forward to that post as much as I am.
I just ran out of my Etude House Surprise Essence Concealer so I purchased another tube, only to be surprised at the new packaging haha. It's pink now! I'm not complaining. The formula's still the same so really I can't complain. This isn't the best of concealers out there, but I'm totally in love with it. Think of it as an irrational bias lol.
With all the purchases I made, it's no wonder I got a free USB Fan and Nymph Aura samples for my purchase. I think it was a pretty productive haul all in all. I'll be doing reviews on all of these products soon so I hope you guys stay tuned!
Ada, Signing out.

Hello! I commend your stance on animal cruelty. You can find info on the current situation of animal testing on Etude and many other Korean brands here: http://galelovescolors.blogspot.com/2012/07/update-korean-cosmetic-brands-animal.html, here: http://animalrightskorea.org/bad-science/korean-cruelty-free-cosmetics.html, and here: http://animalrightskorea.org/files/Cruelty-Free-Companies.pdf
To keep things short, Etude House has claimed not to test on animals, but their parent company has released a transparent statement saying that for safety purposes, they do still test minimally on animals but have a significant amount of budget set aside for research on alternative testing. This statement is unclear as to whether or not Etude is included in their brands that still test or is a branch of those that use alternative testing. An increased percent of products released has thus been free of animal testing.
Netizens also say that Etude's products that are animal-themed are not animal tested, but this is yet to be confirmed :)
I know right x_x I saw some online resellers mark up prices ridiculously. I still may have to search online for some of the other releases in this collection because not everything will be released here as per my knowledge. If you want, if it's within my budget, I can snag something for you and send you some goodies :P Just drop me a line on FB for anything which may catch your fancy :P
lovely hauls!! they look so freakin' cute and yummy! ^_~
Only wish there was an Etude House near me T_T Ebay is going to break my wallet.

I know right? They look good enough to eat :3
Yeah. Etude did a really good job designing the concept for this one :)
Hehe no prob. I'm a personal shopper for my friends abroad as well, so really I'm used to it anyway :P
There's a blogger doing a giveaway on this Sweet Recipe line. You might want to check her out: http://bunnykisskawaii.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/100-followers-giveaway-thank-you.html
They're available on some blogshops already if I'm not mistaken~ This might be Etude's cutest collection yet~!
Lol I only allow myself to splurge on cosmetics once in a while. Which is why this haul is massive :P Don't worry. Your purchases make me equally as jealous sometimes as well haha
Oh wow nice haul ! ~ Can't wait for your reviews !
Baby Choux Base is my fave from the Sweet Recipe Collection too. :)

I can't wait to post them either! Stay tuned! I have my review on the Icecream Nails Nail polish + an NOTD up. Be sure to check it out!
It's just soooooo creamy and it smells good enough to eat. I had to stop myself from trying to lick it off my finger >_>
Thank you so much!!
Gahhh andami O_O i want the purple nail polish~ kyaaaa~ kinikilig lolz
Mukha lang siyang purple sa pic pero IRL para siyang cotton candy pink D: Gusto ko nga sana ng purple eh. Mala ube ice cream haha
ayyy sayang i want ube nails din hehe sana mgkaron ^_^
wow! even the packagings look so tempting! I can't wait to purchase them soon :)
I got all of this from my local Etude House Boutique in SM North EDSA The Block. I also frequent Eastwood's branch of Etude. If I'm not mistaken, these are all available in Etude House boutiques unless they are sold out. I've been told they'll be restocking soon so keep updated. You can actually check your closest branch and reserve items/ask them to call you up when an item arrives. :D Very convenient!
I wish I had the power to double all my makeup. Maybe I could share then hahaha. If Etude Sponsors me for a giveaway maybe, but that's not very likely lol
I know. I have to keep this away from baby cousins. They might eat it x_x Feel free to drop me a link if you do purchase them soon. I'd love to hear what you think about them :)
oh my god , i want baby choux so much btw , you make me very envyy !!!! ;;A;;
the baby choux is really amazing!!! thanks for those pictures, makes the products so much more clearer!
I'm sure you'll be able to get it some day :) It's a very good product :)
I'm glad I could help! It's really one of the best products I've tried! My skin feels so soft even after I've washed it off. Very hydrating!
Yeah! I think it's the biggest hit in the entire collection :) Thanks for reading!
hey there girl, i wanted to know, did you purchase these in the phil? i'm a suckler for freebies, and i've already bought so much product ((just not all in one go)) that i wanted to avail of the freebies. :)) haha
Hello! Yes, I bought all of these from the Philippines! I always make sure to reach at least 500php so I get some freebies. Etude offers freebies both in their physical boutiques and their stalls in various department stores depending on availability and amount of purchase! And they change the freebies every month :) You can actually check out what giveaways they have via their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/etudehousephilippines
Same goes for some other makeup brands as well. I love the freebies from Tony Moly and Missha in particular :) Hope this helped!
I WANT TO HAVE ALL OF THIS :)
super love this. wish to buy them also.Baby Choux Base is nice ha.
Great haul, Ada. I wanna try the Goodbye Pore Ever Pore Primer Stick but I'm afraid of breakouts >.< Wish I had your skin! Haha ♥
Oh! Are you allergic to silicone? I haven't experienced any breakouts with this at all, but we all have different skin x_x My skin type also has it's downfalls. I'm super oily around my cheek area but dry around my nose. Weird. haha
