You’ve got to hand it to the Koreans’ penchant for all things cutesy and fancy. Just take a look at this packaging!
The illustrations are made by Annika Wester. This makeup palette is part of the Etude House’s (EH) Wannabe Collection.
The top lid opens up to a fancy illustration with Korean jottings (which I think means “let’s play make-up,” as translated below it in English). Aside from being too cute for words, this feature doesn’t serve any function at all other than prettifying what already is very cute packaging. Unnecessary, but cute nonetheless. EH does not scrimp on its packaging!
Aaand…here’s the palette!
Usually, makeup palettes would contain only the basics — eye shadows, blushes, and lipsticks. The EH Wannabe Style Making Kit, however, has more than that.
It has eight eye shadows, two lip and cheek creams, a cream highlighter, two concealers (one flesh and one purple), and two cream eyeliners (in brown and black). Think of it as your whole makeup kit in one handy adorably-packaged box. I don’t want to sound too advertorial about it, but this power palette is everything you need to create a dolled-up look. Needless to say, I’m in love with it. With the price of only P1148, this palette is a steal.
Here’s the swatches.
Eye shadows on the top tier (The last one is from the bottom leftmost part, I just wanted to include it in the picture because it looked so nice here. ^_^)

There are three varying shades of pink in this palette. You can use it to make an all-pink eye makeup look.

There you go. Aren’t the colors marvelous? In depth review to come soon. I haven’t used all of it yet. So far though, I’m impressed with the lip and cheek creams, eye shadows, and highlighter. :)
