Been awhile since i did a beauty review!
You are in for a treat!!! (:
I got myself a new range of makeup from Etude House!
Yes! All the way from base care to blusher to a cleansing milk remover (:
I will be going through the products by their plus and minus points, personal ratings at the end of each product as well!!
Enough said?
First up is the base care; Moistfull Collagen Essence-In Foundation SPF 22 / PA+!
the very reason why i like this!
Honestly, i have not came across a base that smells this good!
Zonia loves it too! She is a frequent user of foundations, and she cant agree less! So... if i say it does smell good, it really does!

Rating: 3.5/5 stars!
If you are not a fan of creams, you can try Moistfull Collagen Balm SPF 36 in their compact form!
Smelling exactly the same, its application with the provided usual foundation sponge (:
plus point: the very pretty casing!
Rating: 3/5 stars!
I prefer makeup bases in their liquid forms cause i feel its easier to glide on the skin and also easier to blend! Works as well with a foundation sponge available at SASA outlets!
After the base, its time for a tinge of pink from Orgel Light Blusher, to brighten up the face!
Like sprinkled magical pixie dust, adds color and luster for presentation of porcelain clear skin!

don't you just love the gradients of this piece?
i love the casing just as much as the colors!
Rating: 5/5 stars
Must get blusher! What not to love about this baby! The casing is so princessy, the colors are so vibrantly unique as well! Available in 3 colors!
Lastly, its the Cleansing Dream!
Its important to keep the skin fresh and hydrated after a day's make up!
The difference between this Cleansing Dream makeup remover and my previous Cleansing Express Makeup remover post is this is milky and in lotion form while Cleansing Express is water based (: Very much like a fancl make up remover!

At Exclusivelyrs, you can get items from Skin Food as well!
I couldnt resist 2 items!
They are the Peach Sake BB cream that has SPF benefits as well as a spot remover!!!
A must get for every lady! It doesn't matter if you are a student or a working lady! Cause nearing my period, i always get small outbreaks and i really rely on these lil serums to have a clear skin for work and shoots (:
Rating: DEFINITELY 5/5 stars!
So here's a small beauty review for you girlies! (:
Less is more, so have fun exploring these pieces!

hey zoe... i bought etude hse's bb magic pact recently. also a very good product. has a nice smell and packaging.
zoe, you pointed middle finger in one of the pictures.
Chill alright, is not like Zoe PURPOSELY point a middle finger right? Even President also will curse no need make a big deal about it man(: Cheers Zoe:D
hi, what camera are you using?
Hi Zoe, you stated that you actually slim down after having your braces on and stuffs right? But how come through your pictures, you still seems the same? You are looking just like before putting on braces.
Where your kilos gone off from? haha...
Just wondering. You still looks pretty! (:
remembered you saying in your posts frequently that u said u do not use foundation at all. But ain't u using it now?
To JO:
She is not pointing middle finger. Just that when applying makeup to the face, always apply them with the middle or ring finger as the index finger is too rough and strong for the face especially the areas around the eyes.
Hmmm... I think you meant that Zonia couldn't agree more, not 'less', as you wrote.
I don't understand how this is considered a review at all. You don't even tell us how the products work at all? Like for the blusher is the pigmentation good? So what if the base smells good, does it work well? For the serum, is it effective? How long does it take to get results?
It seems like all your "ratings" are based on really superficial things like casing and smell.
I think maybe you could have included like maybe swatches of the blush or like make it more detailed as to how it worked for you.
Quite simply I think many people here are here to nitpick and not to appreciate what is written on the blog. Within one post we have some people:
1) Correcting grammer
2) Correcting moral behavior
3) Correcting how a product review should be done
4) Disputing the Zoe doesn't wear foundation claims for the umpteenth time
If you don't like what you're reading or don't believe what you are seeing, maybe you should start going elsewhere. Otherwise, it would be nice to make a more positive contribution.
Blog keeping is not easy and especially more difficult when you have harsh critics for finding fault with almost every small detail. Some of you people out there should quite frankly be ashamed of yourselves!
Hey, May i know for victoria's secret bikini you always order what size? S? Thanks
well zoe i have been following your blog for quite some time, and i think i had enough of all those negative comments about u.
to those pple out there, pls get a life and stop critising pple. if u think u r tat great, why not start a blog youself and let us critisice u.
i'm just amazed that she claims that she doesn't wears foundation but yet we all could see she uses BBcream & foundation in which she claims she didn't. isn't that a lie to all of us that she has natural fair skin tone colour or flawless skin. just a 2cents thoughts. not to pick a fault or so.
zzz. we have seen her naked face before, looks as gd as without foundation =.= get a life, u have to have gd skin to look gd even when u put on makeup. i dun see ppl who put on make up look gd with pimples......
well, then just admit it that she does wear foundation. sees no wrong in admiting it. well if she claims to be perfect natural skin then ohwell. but there's a difference when she say she didn't put foundation when she did. we all could see with our eyes. i have seen her non-make up face pic in one of her post and that is truly NON MAKE UP and its such a big huge difference from the normal ones that she took with foundation on that she claims never. hmmm. i do not want to pick up any fault here but just find it rather ironic.
uhm why are we fussing about whether zoe wears foundation or not...it really doesnt matter does it?
Hi babe, Where did you get your highwaist shorts, the one you wore each time??? :) Any place which i could get it too ?? =DD
Thanks!!
Also!People are just jealous of you, ignore those nasty comments =DD *wink!

Exactly! Smells good right! :)

zoe, you pointed middle finger in one of the pictures.
♥ ZOE RAYMOND:
Hi Jo! I just realised that i did! (: But its cause we have to use 3rd or 4th finger if we were to apply creams on faces! Less pressure exerted you see! (:

Talking about the scent and packaging is also considered a review right? I do not use the foundations myself so wont it be contradicting if i comment on them?
But i agree that i should have commented more on the blusher! (:

Haha! You dont have to be amazed cause i didnt say in this review that im using the foundation and Bb Cream right? (:
I never said i have fair skin. Ive always said its due to the beauty mode of my samsung camera. The samsung is really good, you should go try it yourself and you will understand why! (:

I don't see why i have to lie (:
I've always said its not that i have fair, flawless complexion. When people ask me whats my cleansing routine and what facial masks i use. I would say its the beauty mode of my samsung camera.
In blogging, i've tried to be as true as i can in replying to comments (:

uhm why are we fussing about whether zoe wears foundation or not...it really doesnt matter does it?
♥ ZOE RAYMOND:
Hello Janice! (: Its not a matter of fussing. Its more of a matter of the readers trusting what i say. By blogging, i really hope girls like what they read and when they have questions. I reply to the best i can. If my words carry no weight, why blog? (:

Which one dear? The black plain ones with 3 buttons in front? Haha! I got it from METRO expo sale! (: I'm sorry that it was sometime back and i doubt they have it already! But its quite a common one which you can find at Bugis/Fareast!
And thanks for being a supportive reader (:
don take it too hard dear, im not trying to say its wrong or anything just that it caught my attention. because the nail art is fabulously done! :D
Honestly guys, why would you even be bothered whether did she or not used foundation? Even if she did, so what? It wont hurt you at all right? If you guys dont like the way how she post her entries then just stop reading her blog.
Isnt Beauty mode enough to answer your qns why she looks fair? She alrdy said it so many times, its her beauty mode thingy that she's using, so why can you guys just get that, seriously-.-
You fussy people are seriously irritating and thank god Zoe didnt flare up. She's really nice to everyone by replying all your comments whether are they nasty or not. Crazy nuts.
Just stop hating her or whatever it is that you're doing. I dont think that she deserve this kinda treatment from you all.
Cheers, XOXO! Zoe, you are doing great! Just continue the way you're blogging(:
hmm.. if the cam is so good, i guess everyone will start using that cam soon instead of going for facial and all. cause in your blog u already stated.. u got full range from etude. if you're not using then u got it for? pretty ironic. but oh well. its your choice :)
Omg vicc. I jus had to reply this while on the go! If u intend to hide behind the screen and let ppl see u only through photos, then yes! Please get the camera! Hahaha! And you won't even have to buy a facial cleanser! How cost saving is that?(:
If u see end of the post, it's an advertorial post so that's why I got the whole set? I appreciate smarter n conducive questions dear!
as u said so. :) its still hard to believe but well will try to.
Vicc, u can refer to my recent popeye's post! I have a picture taken without beauty mode there!(:
There are actually quite a no. Of cameras these days w beauty mode! Olympia just launched 1 as well! It's not something hard to believe! We are in a new age era now actually (:
Your nose is quite huge! But cute, haha. asian noses!
I've seen Zoe before on the train and we were standing at an arm's length away from each other. It seems like she put on a tinted moisturizer/sunblock as the effect is rather sheer.
Like everyone else, her skin isn't perfect. There are some scars and discoloration on her face. Her skin isn't as radiant as seen on her blog too. I guess the beauty mode in Zoe's camera really really helps a lot in covering them (:
Love reading your blog, especially with all the advertorials, awesome! :)
The haters are just jealous x)
