Review : Etude House Face Blur SPF 33 PA++

Hi guys! Today I have a product review from Etude House. The name of the product is Face Blur with SPF 33 PA++. It is supposed to be a face primer or base before applying foundation.

Let's take a look at the product.

The product came with a box cover. The box describes the direction and ingredients of the product. I think it explains the product really well and thankfully, there are some English words on there.

There are also more complete description of the product on Etude House official website.
Here is what the website says.

The texture is smooth but it minimizes pores and brighten complextion.

This product does contain so many ingredients that I don't recognize, so it is better to look up for the ingredients or from cosdna.com. Here is the ingredients broken up by cosdna.

And as always, Etude House never disappoints with the packaging. I think it is nicely packaged, moreover, it has a pump, which I personally always prefer.

The lid covers the pump with a click sound and the bottle is plastic, but doesn't feel cheap at all. The colour of the packaging is also pretty nice and girly, but not princess-y like the usual Etude House.

Overall, the whole packaging is a plus for me.

Swatches

The product itself is in pastel peach color. The pump squeezes out adequate amount of product. On the swatch on the back of my hand, the lotion blended out into the skin quite well, but you can see that my hand that has the product in visibly brighter than my bare skin.

Oh, and it smells like baby powder, which I really like. It doesn't linger and is quite settled. I mean, who doesn't like the smell of babies?

It took me one full pump of the product to cover half of my face with a sponge. It doesn't make a big difference with using fingers.

The product brightens up my skin without going overboard, which is what I really like. I think it has something to do with the SPF part, which is a plus because you can skin sunscreen when you're in a hurry and just apply this.

It does blur out my complexion, although it doesn't cover dark spots in any way. Well, it does what it claims to do.

This product also makes applying foundation a lot easier, hence it is a great base primer for the face. I also find that my foundation or concealer last longer with this as a primer.

Let's go over what it claims to do on the Etude House website.

- Covers pores and bumpy skin to make skin look flawless.

It does cover the pores and bumpy skin texture, but not completely and they are still visible.

- Softening skin layer like filter effect to give smooth and even skin layer.

This claim is true because my skin does feel a lot smoother and more even than not applying this.

- Natural whitening skin to make dark skin look bright and cover imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life.

It does whiten, brighten the skin but it doesn't 'cover imperfections flawlessly'. It looks natural on screen and in real life though.

- Baby pixel powder and cover powder compounds give 3-in-1 multi filter effect like adju

sting light on skin.

I actually don't really understand this part. But I guess it does give multi filter effect on the skin because it blurs out some pores and brightens the skin really well.

So, here are the pros and cons of the product

Pros

• has SPF 33 and PA++
• blurs out imperfections
• brightens up complexion
• perfect packaging and has a pump
• smells really nice and isn't overpowering

Cons

• doesn't cover up dark spots

Rate : 4.5/5

It claimed to 'cover imperfections flawlessly', but it doesn't cover up my acne spots and just brightens it up to look 'covered', so I guess if you have a nice skin with a little bit of uneven skin tone, it may do what it claimed.

Overall, I really like this product as a primer or to be used alone for the sunscreen and natural brightening effect.

Will I repurchase?

I think I will, if I don't find any better base primer than this.

That's all for my review today. I hope you find this review helpful! See you guys on future reviews.

What are your thoughts of the product?

SILKY GIRL Big Eye 2-in-1 Eyliner in 01 Blackest Snow

Hi guys! Today I have a mini review for you guys. It is from a local brand Silky Girl. I bought this from Guardian for about IDR 40,000, which is a reasonable price because you get two ends of the product.

The side with the black colour has more product than the side with the white colour. The product is covered wih cap and you can sharpen the product with regular clean sharpener.

Sisi dengan warna hitam mempunyai produk lebih banyak daripada sisi dengan warna putih. Produknya dilindungi dengan tutup yang tinggal dicabut kalau ingin dibuka dan kamu bisa menyerut produknya dengan penyerut biasa yang bersih.

The product is creamy and glides on smoothly on the skin. I really like the pigmentation as well. But the major problem is that both of the eyeliner smudge really easily.

Thus, the lasting power of the product is below average and you wouldn't want to touch the product in any way because it can be smudged easily.

So, I would like to recommend this product only for those you will put other products on top of this eyeliner, for example: outlining your face art.

Produknya creamy dan mengolesnya sangat halus di kulit. Saya sangat suka pigmentasinya. Tetapi, masalah yang cukup mengganggu adalah kedua eyelinernya dapat tergosok dengan sangat mudah.

Jadi, ketahanlamaannya sangat di bawah rata-rata dan kalau bisa jangan pegang produknya kalau sudah di kulit bagaimanapun caranya

Oleh karena itu, aku akan merekomendasikan produk ini hanya untuk kalian yang akan menaruh produk lain di atas eyeliner ini, seperti : meng-outline seni lukis muka untuk ditaruh face paint di atasnya sebagai guide.

So, here are the pros and cons of the product.

Pros

• opaque colours
• affordable price (IDR 40,000)
• creamy and easy to apply

Cons

• smudges extremely easily
• doesn't last long

Rate : 2/5

I don't think the easy application affect the score very much because no matter how well you draw your eyeliner, it disappears easily and it is no use in the end.

Will I repurchase?

I don't think so. With its lasting power, this product can't be used on its own as eyeliner.

Hope you find this review helpful! Comment your thoughts about this product and I will see you guys on future posts. See you next time!

Review : SILKY GIRL Long-Wearing Lipliner 03 Rose

Hi guys! Today's review is from a local brand in my country Indonesia, which is SILKY GIRL and the name of the product is Long-Wearing Lipliner. I got the colour is number 3 Rose, and I believe they have 3 other colours avaiable, which are Nude, Mauve, and Maroon.

I think I got this product for about IDR 40,000, which is quite affordable.

This is how the product looks like.

The product is really slim and it is retractable. The retractable product makes application a lot easier because you won't have to bother sharpening the lip liner. The cap makes a click sound when it closes, which is nice because the product is travel-friendly.

Bentuk produknya ramping and bisa dinaikturunkan. Produknya yang bisa dinaikturunkan membuat aplikasi jauh lebih mudah karena kamu tidak perlu repot menyerut lip linernya. Tutupnya mempunyai suara klik ketika ditutup, di mana hal ini adalah hal yang bagus karena berarti produknya bisa dibawa untuk jalan-jalan.

The colour is actually really nice. However, I had a hard time applying it because it is quite hard to apply. The texture of the product is hard and it showed when I tried to swatch it on the back of my hand.

Then, I tried to test its function by pressing my lips together. I felt quite dry and it isn't creamy whatsoever, which is what you would want in a lip liner, so that the lipstick that you're going to apply on top of your lips can stick well and last a lot longer.
But I wouldn't want to apply it on its own, because it emphasizes my lines really visibly and it is quite drying.

Warnanya sendiri sebenarnya sangat cantik. Tetapi, aku lumayan kesusahan memakainya karena cukup susah untuk dipakai. Tekstur produknya terlalu keras dan itu sudah kelihatan dari sejak aku mencoba mengolesnya di balik telapak tanganku.

Kemudian, aku mencoba menguji fungsinya dengan menggosok kedua bibirku. Rasanya agak kering dan tidak creamy sama sekali, yang merupakan hal yang kamu ingin cari dalam sebuah lip liner, sehingga lipstick yang kamu pakai di atas bibir kamu bisa menempel dan tahan jauh lebih lama.
Tetapi aku tidak akan memakainya sendiri, karena garis-garis bibirku kelihatan lebih jelas dan lumayan kering kalau dipakai sendiri.


So, here are the pros and cons of the product.

Pros

• makes lipstick on top of it last a lot longer
• the colour is nice
• travel-friendly
• retractable product

Cons

• extremely drying formula
• hard to apply

Rate : 3/5

I substract the points because the cons are quite major for me.

Will I repurchase?

I don't think so. I would like to try lip liners with creamier formula and this product isn't in any way creamy.

Review : Etude House Color Lips Fit in OR201 Dream Fit Coral

Hi guys! Today I have a lipstick review for you guys. It is the Etude House Color Lips Fit in number OR201 Dream Fit Coral.

Here is the colour selection of the entire line.

Onto the actual product. It is in a typical lip tint clear tube, where you can see the colour exactly. I got this as a gift, and I personally liked this colour on the tube.

Et

The tube is in a twist cap style and I find it travel-friendly because it doesn't leak out products and the twist cap feels really secure. The doe foot applicator is really nice as well.

The swatch of the product is quite nice. The formula isn't patchy. My first impression was that the neon colour might not suit me because I have darker skin tone than most of Korean girls.
This product applies as a liquid at first, then after a few minutes, it will begin to set into a matte formula, just like how a regular liquid-to-matte lipstick would.

The first thing that I notice upon application was the scent. It has a strong sweet soda scent that lingers for quite a while, but it disappears as the product dries down. For those of you who doesn't like strong scents, you might resent this product quite a bit. But for me, I personally don't mind the scent because it smells nice to me and it disappears eventually.

My original lip colour is dark to begin with, and I have tried to cover up my lips with concealer first, but that only made the neon colour stand out even more. So, in the swatch above, I don't have any concealer underneath.

The matte formula didn't really dry out my lips. If it weren't for the colour, I would have tested the product out for a few hours. I really don't like the colour of the lipstick on my lips, because it doesn't suit me in any way even though I have tried to make it work. The colour was quite patchy on my upper lip, maybe because of my original lip colour.
So, if you are someone who has uneven lip colour, you might want to apply concealer first.

As for the formula, I actually really like it. After I remove the lipstick, it doesn't dry out my lips.

In conclusion, I would like to give this product a chance if it weren't for the colour. I don't think it suits me, but it would look pretty on girls with paler skin tone.


So, here are the pros and cons of the product

Pros

• doesn't dry out my lips
• formula changes into a long-lasting matte formula
• smells really nice (like sweet soda)

Cons

• the colour doesn't suit me AT ALL
• people with darker skin tones than me and people who don't like strong scents might dislike ths product

Rate : 2/5

Seriously, I would really enjoy this lipstick if it weren't for the colour. I can't wear this anywhere and I can't make this colour work in any way possible.

Will I repurchase?

I would like to try other colours, but for now, this product doesn't really intrigues me that much.
