Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes Bohemian Soul Review

The product featured was provided for review by Jolse. All thoughts and opinions expressed are based on my experiences and 100% honest.

Would it be weird for me to say that I've never owned a palette before? As someone who hardly ever uses eyeshadows, I found myself wanting to use them daily after receiving this palette. I am a huge fan of warm neutral shades, so the Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes in Bohemian Soul immediately caught my eye when it was released. Launched for Fall 2014, the shades included are perfect fall colors for your everyday makeup. When I first saw this palette I knew that I had to own it. In most palettes there's always at least one shade that I dislike and would probably never use. So how about this one? Keep reading to find out! 

Announcement: New Blog Name + Layout

Hello everyone! 

First of all, happy Black Friday! I'm sure many of you have taken advantage of the sales and bought yourself (and your friends and family of course!) a gift or two, right? Did anyone get anything exciting? If you did I'd love to hear about it in the comments below!

So... moving on to the next thing. After blogging for a little over a year, I've finally decided on my new blog name and am now ready to make the change. I've been meaning to change it since the beginning of this year, but I could never think of a good name nor was I motivated enough to make a new layout. You might be thinking, what's the reason for this? Well, I was never truly happy with my current blog name (Ice 'n' Snow Princess). On top of it being childish, it didn't suit me at all. What was I even thinking when I decided to call myself princess OTL 

Contrary to what my layout might make you think, I'm not girly in any way at all. lol Things like bows, ruffles, and all things girly... I'm just not a fan of them. Now that doesn't mean I hate them! They're just not me, if that makes sense. 

So what am I changing the name to? 

After much thought, I decided on Gloriaus Days. I actually kind of got this idea from my friend, since she was joking around one day about "Gloria's Revolution"- a pun for the Glorious Revolution, which was what we were studying at that time. And so a few weeks later I suddenly thought of using part of the pun for my blog name. I'm not saying it's any less childish, but hey, at least it's a bit more related to me... right? 

Or not? OTL 

So for the next few days my blog will be a bit messy, since I'll be adding the new layout and everything! It's going to be really different from the current one, and hopefully a lot cleaner and professional looking. My URL will be changed to gloriausdays.com, and anyone who types in my old URL (icensnowprincess.blogspot.com) will be redirected to the new one.  In the banner you'll see that I included "fashion" and lifestyle". Although I have hardly ever (if any) blogged about fashion and lifestyle, they are two topics that I hope to venture into one day. 

Thank you guys for reading and for all the support from my readers (whom I truly appreciate and think of as friends). I'm sorry for the long post, I probably started rambling at some point lol So yeah~ Thank you and I hope everyone has a great day! :) 

Innisfree Creammellow Lipstick Review

*The product reviewed was sponsored by Jolse. All thoughts and opinions expressed are based on my own experiences and 100% honest. 

Remember the Color Glow Lipstick Innisfree released last year? Well, this year they upgraded it and released the Creammellow Lipstick for the F/W season. When I first saw the swatches and the picture of Yoona wearing the bright red one (#8), I knew I had to try these. I decided to try the darker colors since they're perfect for fall and I don't own any shades like those at all.

Introducing: Wishtrend

Hi everybody! 

Today I'll be introducing to you another Korean beauty shop called Wishtrend. According to Wishtrend, they only exist for one mission- to help you to be more beautiful.  A company founded in 2013, Wishtrend believes that "as long as you 'WISH' to be beautiful, you will be beautiful".

Here is the home page of Wishtrend. Since Black Friday is coming up the current banner is about the Black Friday sale which just started today. It ends on November 30th so be sure to check out the deals before they end! 

Wishtrend currently carries products from 58 Korean brands. Some of these brands include Klairs, Mustaev, Ciracle, and Elisha Coy. They sell a wide variety of products for you to use from head to toe, such as nail polishes, skincare, body care, and makeup. Their bestsellers include the famous OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum and Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream.

Wishtrend does offer worldwide shipping! To determine how much shipping will cost for you, look at the map above. Each zone has its own color, and depending on what color your country is in, then that's the zone you're in. So for me, shipping will cost $10 since I live in the US (Zone 3). Usually standard shipping is free for orders over $69, but for Black Friday the minimum requirement is $59! To get a better idea of the benefits you'll get from the Black Friday deals, click here or check out the table below.

With every order, Wishtrend includes free gifts/samples! YAY lol 

Also, for those of you that don't know, Wishtrend has their own Youtube channel where they upload videos on things such as hauls, skincare tips, current Korean beauty trends, and more. I've been subscribed to their channel for awhile now and I have to say that their videos are all quite interesting!

So, please feel free to check out Wishtrend and take a look at the products they carry~ The brands might sound unfamiliar to you, but a lot of the products look really nice! I've read good reviews on quite a few products that only they carry, and if anything catches your eye, right now would be the perfect chance to grab it since the Black Friday sale is currently going on. You can also keep updated on the newest Wishtrend promotions by following them on Facebook or Twitter. 

Just to let you know, I've personally never purchased from Wishtrend before so I don't have any experience at all with their customer service. However, I've heard about good experiences with them and they're quite popular, so I do believe that they're a trustworthy shop. 

When I first saw the email from Wishtrend inviting me to join their affiliate program I was really surprised (since it was so unexpected), but I knew that they're a good shop, so I replied back and accepted their invitation. 

 I'll be back later today (it's past midnight right now lol) with a review. Thank you for reading and have a great day! ^^

Etude House My Castle Hand Cream Set Review

Memebox Special Box #43 K-Style 3 Review

The box reviewed was sponsored by Memebox. All thoughts and opinions expressed are mine and 100% honest.

Hello everyone! 

Did you all have a good Halloween? Be careful not to overdose on the candy and sweets! 

Today I'll be reviewing another Memebox, the Special Box #43 K-Style 3. Previously I reviewed the K-Style 2 box and liked it, even though it was missing one product. However, it seems like Memebox has filled in the missing hole (or product) with this box! Before I move on with the review though, here's some information about Memebox for those who don't know. 

Memebox, pronounced "Mi-mi-box", is a Korean beauty box and e-commerce retailer that is based in Korea. Currently the #1 beauty box provider in Korea, they started shipping to the US and other countries (see the list here to see which countries they ship to) back in November 2013. They do not offer monthly subscription plans, but they're constantly releasing new boxes every month. At the moment they carry four different types of beauty boxes: 

• Memebox Global Box: The original Memebox ($23 + shipping) that comes with 4-8 full-sized products and deluxe samples.
• Memebox Special Edition: Designed to meet various concerns, beauty trends, and seasonal needs, this box also comes with 4-8 full-sized products and deluxe samples. The prices range from $19-$32 + shipping. 
• Superbox: Made up of full-sized products only, each Superbox comes with its own theme, designed to target specific concerns or collaborations with a brand. Prices start at $19 + shipping. 
• Luckybox: Products in this box are based on selections from past Memeboxes. Luckyboxes aren't released as frequently as the other boxes, and are priced at $23 + shipping with 4-8 full-sized products and deluxe samples.

In addition to beauty boxes, Memebox also has a Memeshop where they sell products from numerous Korean cosmetic and skincare brands. The box I will be reviewing today is a Memebox Special Edition.

Memebox Scentbox #4 Floral Review

The box reviewed was sponsored by Memebox. All thoughts and opinions expressed are mine and 100% honest. 

Who's a fan of floral scents here? 

... not me. 

When I saw that I was sent the Memebox Scentbox #4 Floral for review, I was prepared to reject everything in it. As I was opening this box I pretty much expected myself to dislike the scent of every product. Don't get me wrong, I don't find floral scents entirely repulsive. As someone who's sensitive to scents though, I oftne find them too strong and flowery, thus giving me a headache. However, it seems like that's not entirely the case with this box, luckily. But before I start the review here's some information about Memebox for those who haven't heard about them yet.
