Review: Etude House Dear Darling Water Gel Tint #RD305 Jujube Red

Hi guys! Today I have a lip tint review for you guys.

This is a lip tint that I have been wearing for quite a long time. It's actually my second bottle. I also have the comparison of the old and new version.

Here is the comparison between the two.

I believe they changed the packaging because the old version had some leakage issues. It's true, though. Mine has some of the product leaking out.

The new version is less prettier, but much sturdier. So far, there has been no leakage issues for the newer one. The newer one also has a taller bottle.
However, I have a problem with the newer version. I like the applicator on the old version more, because it distributes less product. I don't know if it's because there's less product in the bottle, or because of the rubber stopper. I'm guessing it's because of the rubber stopper that doesn't take out the product evenly.

If you guys don't know what rubber stopper is, in every liquid type of packagings like liquid lip products, mascara, etc, there's something between the mouth of the product and the liquid container that is V-shaped. This stopper makes sure the right amount of product is dispensed.
I always feel the rubber stopper doing its job on the old version, but not as much with the new version, so that's why I think it's a problem of the rubber stopper.

Thank God that the colours of the old and new version are still the same. The new version is a little bit thinner and more liquidy.

Here is the swatch of the product on my lips.

I really, really love this color. It looks deep maroon in the redder side. The consistency is a little bit milky. When applied with one thin swipe, it colors my lips naturally. This colour is the best colour of lip tint that I've come across so far, for my skin tone and lip color. Since my lips are on the darker side, I tend to look for lip tints with darker colour. I like that I can adjust the boldness of the lip tint.
For daily use, I usually apply one thin swipe, but for going out, I usually apply a little bit thicker for bolder look.

Although I like the applicator better on the old version, I like the formula of the new version better. It dries quicker unlike the old version, and less oily on the lips, which is of course more comfortable to be applied. I would say that the lasting power is a bit longer too, but not by much. Like every lipstick that I've tried before, it always disappear when I eat. There would be remains of the lip tint at the end of the day, just not as visible to the eyes.
I bought this lip tint for only about IDR 40.000, which is really cheap for the colour and formula that we're getting.

So, here are the pros and cons of this product (based on the new version)

Pros

• LOVE the colour
• good lasting power
• comfortable on the lips
• better packaging

Cons

• too much product on the applicator

Rate: 5/5
Will I repurchase? Of course! This is my second bottle, and I would gladly buy another one after this one runs out.
Here's a little selfie to show you guys how natural the colour looks on my lips. Once again, I really love this color!

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.

What it is

This lightweight cream provides multi-filtering effects for instantly refined and smooth skin.
The texture is smooth but it minimizes pores and brighten complextion.

---

What it does

- Covers pores and bumpy skin to make skin look flawless.
- Softening skin layer like filter effect to give smooth and even skin layer.
- Natural whitening skin to make dark skin look bright and cover imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life.
- Baby pixcel powder and cover powder compounds give 3-in-1 multi filter effect like adjusting light on skin.

---

---

---

Caution

1. Use only as directed.
2. Avoid storing in high/low temperatures or in areas exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Stop using if it causes any allergic reaction or any problems arising.

Ingredients list

Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Zinc Oxide (Ci 77947), Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Glycerin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Magnesium Sulfate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Tribehenin, Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil Isostearate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Silica, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Disodium Edta, Fragrance(Parfum), Phenoxyethanol, Mica (Ci 77019), Iron Oxides (Ci 77492), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491)

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?

Review: Etude House Moistfull Collagen

Hi guys! Today's post will be about an essence that I've been using for months now. It is Moistfull Collagen Essence from Etude House. I bought it for IDR 180.000.

Here is what the packaging looks like.

The packaging is informative with the descriptions, instructions, ingredients, shell life, and etc.

I always research about ingredients of products that I use, especially when it comes to skincare, and I found that this product contains almost ingredients that are safe and good for the skin. Moreover, I like that it doesn't contain paraben, although it does contain fragrance, but since it is on the very last of the ingredients list, I assume that this product contains a tiny tiny bit of fragrance.

I usually research about the ingredients on cosdna. They have one of the most informative and complete ingredients list I could ever find.

I have no complaints regarding the packaging. Etude House is known for their cute packagings, but for this product, I think it leans more to its practicality.

I always like pumps on products like this, because it reserves the hygiene, effectiveness. The packaging is sturdy and doesn't feel heavy, but at the same time it doesn't feel cheap at all.

The essence itself is colourless and it is quite runny, but it is expected because I think essence is supposed to feel watery and runny, but saturated.

I have been wearing this for about 5 months, twice per day, one pump for each application, and this product still hasn't run out. I use this every time after I wash my face, then I'm good to go. I just use this as my daily moisturizer.

I love how this essence cools and soothes the skin. My way of applying this is, after patting my face dry, I take one full pump of the product, rub it between the palms of my hands, and pat it all over my face. At first, my face will feel quite wet from the essence, but in about one minute, the essence will absorb into my skin, leaving my skin feeling moist, but not oily at all.

This essence never makes my skin feel oily at all and it never breaks me out. Those are two things I really love about this product. My skin also doesn't get oily as fast as when I don't wear this. However, it doesn't reduce my oil, it just lengthen the time when I don't feel oily. And honestly, I am completely fine with that, because I can touch up with my no sebum mineral powder from Innisfree.

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

Pros

• great packaging
• reasonable price
• doesn't make my face as oily as usual
• doesn't break me out
• nice ingredients
• a little goes a long way
• moisturizes the skin well without leaving it feeling oily or sticky

Cons

• I actually can't think of one

Rate: 5/5

Will I repurchase? Of course! Mainly because it doesn't break me out.

Overall, I really really like this product and I will continue to use this as long as it doesn't break me out.

Review : Etude House Dear Darling Tint no 1. Berry Red

Hi guys! Today, I have an Etude House product to review for you guys. It is the Dear Darling Tint in no. 1 in Berry Red. Here is the promotional picture that I searched from Google.

source:wcosmetics.com

I bought this for about IDR 50.000 and it retails for KRW 4,000 on the Etude House website. Onto the product,

This product comes in a tube with a doe foot applicator. The packaging is shaped in curves and looks princess-y, as how Etude House products look like.

The packaging is strong and sturdy that I wouldn't really mind if it dropped onto the floor. However, I think this product uses a lot of space in my purse and thus I can't bring this with me when I'm out with small bags or just putting it in my pocket.

Swatches

The product has gel-like consistency and it smells like sweet cherries. It is a fuschia pink that has a hint of purple to the colour.

The colour is really pretty, however I find this colour not really unique because I see almost every brands that come up with lip tints has this type of colour.

And here is how the product looks like on my lips. When first applied, the smell kind of lingered for quite a while. When blended, the product becomes glossy and feels moisturizing, almost quite too oily. As time goes by, the oiliness disappeared, it didn't feel drying at all to me. (I've seen some reviews that said that the lip tint is drying)

This is my overall face with the lip tint on my lips. It lasted for about 3 hours on me. Overall, I really like this lip tint because it gives a cute pinkish colour on my lips and still looks somewhat natural.

So here are the pros and cons of the product.

Pros

• gives a natural tint
• moisturizing
• really affordable
• lasts pretty long

Cons

• not that travel-friendly

Rate : 4/5

It didn't disappoint me, but I find myself reaching out for my Eco Fruits Tint much more and it didn't wow me that much.

Will I repurchase?

I don't think so. I want to explore more lip tints of various brands.

Hope this review helps! Comment down below about what you think of this product.

Review: Etude House Drawing Eyebrow AD NEW no.04 Dark Grey

Hi guys! Today I have an Etude House product review. I'm going to be reviewing the Etude House Drawing Eyebrow in number 4 Dark Grey.

They came out with longer version of the older one, now you get 30% more product than the previous one. They also added a shade for people with blonde hair.

I got this for IDR 36.000 and had previously purchased the older version for IDR 26.000.

source:google

Here is what the packaging looks like.

I believe they only add more product but the formula is still the same, so is the packaging.

Unfortunately, I don't have the older version. But that's how much you get from this product.

The product is dual-ended. One end is the product itself and the other end is the spoolie, which is really convenient, because you don't have you bring another spoolie when travelling and spoolie creates a much more natural look than without using.

For a small info, the lid broke off while I was swatching the product on the back of my hand. Maybe it's my fault for exposing too much of the lid. So, you'd better watch out for this.

I chose this shade because it is a simple black grey for people with black hair like me. It doesn't look too harsh on your brows and it looks really natural.

This product is also not overly-pigmented, which I like, because you don't want to look like you draw on your eyebrows for a more natural look.

And this is the waterproof test of the product. As you guys can see, it is waterproof but some of the product smeared as I rubbed it hard. It's not that of a big deal, though.

Above is the product on my brows. I apologize for the ugly swatch. I have never actually 'draw' on my eyebrows like that, especially because I don't tidy my brow hair. All this time I only 'fill in' my brows, not 'draw' on them.

This eyebrow pencil is a bit hard, but it is still easy to use and you can easily rub off a mistake. The spoolie makes it a lot easier to soften the harsh edges.

As you can see, the colour really looks natural and it matches my brow hair really well. I have worn this for over 8 hours and it stayed on pretty well.

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

Pros

• really affordable (IDR 36.000)
• nice and simple packaging
• you get a spoolie
• travel-friendly
• waterproof

Cons

• I don't have any

Rate: 5/5

I really love this product and I have been using this ever since I got into makeup (about 2 years ago).

Will I repurchase? Of course! For its price and quality, I really recommend this for beginners.

Thank you for reading this post. Hope it helped! Please share your thoughts about this product in the comment section down below.

Review & Swatches : Etude House Play Color Eyes in So Hot Play

Hi guys! Today I have an eyeshadow review and swatches for you guys. It is from the Etude House Play Color Eyes collection in So Hot Play. This is the visual look of the packaging.

I like the packaging of this product. It is simple yet cute, travel-friendly and compact. However, there is one minus for the packaging : it won't close securely. I have had this problem ever since I got this palette, and this requires me to keep the box packaging in case it might open by itself during travelling.

When you open the palette, there is a plastic separator that has the shades names and a full size mirror. The mirror is extremely useful, especially when you are travelling.
There are also 2 sponge applicators that are actually quite useful too.

This is how the shadows look like when you remove the plastic separator. As you can see, there are a few shades that looks like I have actually used them and there are some that looks untouched.

Swatches

Here are the swatches of the eyeshadows. I will describe the eyeshadows one by one from left to right.

Party Gold - it is a shimmery champagne gold eyeshadow that has a lot of glitters in it. This eyeshadow is quite chalky and has a lot of fallout.

Burning Red - this is a true red matte eyeshadow that is really pretty. Unfortunately, I don't find this wearable and color-friendly during the day. It is quite pigmented.

Temptation - it is a matte burgundy eyeshadow that is also really pretty. To me, it gives off a vampire-y feel whenever I apply this. It is quite pigmented.

Naked - as it is called, this shade looks 'naked', although it does neutralize my eyes for the next colors. However, it looks like I just applied compact powder to my face.

Pony Tail - it is a metallic brown shade that is-I think-the most beautiful shade in the palette, because I can literally wear this alone and it still looks natural. It isn't that metallic and wearable. It is currently the most used eyeshadow in this palette.

Modern City - it is a metallic dark grey shade that is really pigmented. It goes on smooth. This eyeshadow and the next two are very suitable for smoky eyes.

Chic Blue - it is a metallic dark blue shade that is really pretty and quite pigmented too. Suitable for smoky eyes.

All Night - it is a black glittery shade. I don't this shade is very pigmented and I'm not really happy with the pigmentation in this shade.

Snow Queen - it is a really glittery white shade. I find this shade the most chalky and difficult to work with. It has a lot of fall out and it doesn't look good on my eyes either.

Military Khaki - this shade is quite similar to Pony Tail, only it is greener than the other one. It is quite a good shade, but not that pigmented.

I will immediately conclude my review in pros and cons.

Pros

• compact and travel-friendly
• some of the shades are pigmented and pretty
• comes with two sponge applicators

Cons

• quite expensive (IDR 219.000) compared to another eyeshadow that I got the other day
• colors are not that pigmented, and some colors are just very not pigmented
• glittery shades have a lot of fall outs

Rate : 2/5

I didn't enjoy this palette very much and I rarely reach out for this palette. Plus, I'm very sure that Etude House discontinued this palette because it is a limited edition palette.

Will I repurchase? No. I am sure I can find better quality palettes for that price. Review coming soon!

Thank you so much for reading! Hope this review helps!

Review: Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Perfect Fit W24

Hi guys! Today I have a BB cream review for you guys. It's from the Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream line. I got the Perfect Fit in shade W24 Honey Beige.

This is how the product looks like when I got this out of the package.

This is the ingredients list of the product.

And yeah, the box is kinda crushed, but the product itself is still good.

The product itself is still good and it has the usual Etude House packaging, like other Etude House Precious Mineral BB Creams.

And, it has a pump, which is one of the reasons why I got this product. It makes squeezing the product out of the tube so convenient.

SWATCH

This is the swatch of the product on my hand. The texture of the product is quite thick and not runny.

This product has a good smell, I think it smells like flowers.

I think this shade is a little bit to light for me. And this is the darkest shade that I could buy from this BB Cream.

This is the swatch of the product on my right side of my face.

The coverage was light for me. My big red spots are still visible, but it covered some of the small red spots. But the coverage is still buildable, although it didn't make much of a difference.

In the photo shown above, this BB cream seems like the right shade for me. However, in real life, it is a little bit too light for me. For some people, this may be a small problem. But for me, I like my BB cream or foundation to match my skin tone perfectly.

This my face with the BB cream on. It has a dewy finish, but my skin still feels not oily. I think this BB cream is suitable for normal skin, although I have an oily skin.

I wore it all day and at the end of the day, my skin feels like my skin and it seemed like the BB cream wore off. However, it is still long lasting for me, because I easily sweat and get oily.

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

Pros

• affordable (got it for IDR 158.000)
• packaging is simple and convenient and it has a pump, which is always a plus
• comes with a lot of product
• long lasting
• dewy finish
• light to medium coverage

Cons

• the shade is too light for me
• only 3 shades to choose from

Rate: 4/5

Will I repurchase?

I don't think so. I would like to try other BB creams as well

Hope this review helps! See you guys in future posts!
