Sweet Recipe is a delightful new range from Korean beauty brand Etude House. The packaging is designed to look like mouthwatering desserts, with the campaign fronted by K-pop stars Sulli and Krystal of the group f(x), alongside the members of the boy band SHINee.

The lovely designs and soft, pastel shades, especially that of the Baby Choux makeup base pot, brings to mind another food-themed make-up collection, i.e the 2012 limited edition Jill Stuart Patisserie make-up collection.

Etude House Sweet Recipe make-up range include jelly lipsticks, candy stick lip gloss  ice-cream nail colors, chocolate bar shaped eye shadow and highlighter, multi-color cotton candy style cotton balls, chocolate chip cookie compact, liner in heart shaped choco pots and sliced cake makeup puffs.

Love these looks from Temperley Pre-Fall 2013 collection. So prim and ladylike yet so chic. Adore the long-sleeve tent coat dress!

The lovely ankle-strap platform heels really made all these looks for me.

 

It looks like something that can be made in an arts & craft class but it is actually a working radio. Inspired by transistor radios of the 60s, this no frills receiver is simply constructed out of recycled cardboard housing made from more than 25% post-consumer waste, a speaker and a radio circuitry. Not even glue is used.

Called the Environmentally Sound radio and created by North Ireland designer Chris McNicholl, this world’s first made with cardboard radio is designed to be sold in flat-pack form and can be easily assembled by the user. It is hoped that the user will choose to recycle the material at the end of its product life, serving one of its primary purpose as an eco-friendly product.

This device can also be used as a speaker for iPhones, other smart phones or any device that is capable of ouputting audio using 35mm audio jack.
