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.

Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk Chiffon in BE110

A girl can never have enough lipstick.

Hi guys! Today, I have a lipstick review from a well-known Korean brand Etude House. It is from their chiffon lisptick line, which is popular in Korea because of its in-between finish, which is right in the middle of matte and glossy. It retails for about KRW 9,000 and I bought it for IDR 95,000 from an online store.

This was the product that Lily Maymac endorsed for when she was in Korea. I really liked the shade that she was wearing, but I settled for the darker one because I was afraid that the shade wouldn't suit me, but now that I have bought the darker one, I would like to try out the shade that Lily Maymac was wearing as well!

Here is how the packaging looks like.

I got mine in the shade BE110 "Waiting Chiffon Beige", which is quite a weird name for a lipstick, but I think it has something to do with the rhymes of Korean letters which sound like 'shipeun' and the word 'chiffon'.

I've read in many reviews that on the cap of the lipstick, they actually attached real mirror to help us with application on the go. And honestly, I could care less about the mirror thing. I think it's too small to see through that small mirror, and I think that if they were going to attach a mirror to help us on the go, they might have as well put a nice size, like how the Kailijumei lipstick did.

Other than the small mirror, I don't have any other complaint about the packaging. It has cute lego-like appearance, and pink plastic packaging like how Etude House usually does their packaging, but this time the princess-y theme is much more settled, which may be a pro for girls who don't like cute packaging. I really like this type of packaging though.

Although the caps are made of plastic, it is still sturdy, it has click sounds when opening and closing the cap, which ensures that the cap won't fall off out of nowhere in your bag.

Swatches

First thought of the colour, it looks really pretty! It looks like a pinkish dusty rose. It is the colour that I would go for on a daily basis, because it looks natural and it doesn't look like I'm using anything when applied a little. My lips just doesn't look pale and I'm good with that.

Here are the swatches of the product on my lips. I think this shade really suits my skin tone so well! I really love this type of colour. I feel like the sharp edge of the lipstick makes it really easy to reach the cupid's bow.

As for the longevity, because it is a semi-matte lipstick, I find it lasting long enough for a lipstick. Without drinking or eating, it could last for about 2-3 hours without reapplying. But if you constantly drink with this lipstick on, it can fade on the inner part of the lips in about an hour.

It still transfers like a lipstick does, but not as easily as glossy lipstick does. I could solve it by reapplying and I don't mind at all.

It can dry out your lips if you don't prep before. Since this is a semi-matte lipstick, that is expected to come because of the finish. But it doesn't dry out the lips like a liquid-to-matte lipstick does.

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

Pros

• cute and sturdy packaging
• affordable price for such a high quality lipstick! (KRW 9,000)
• really beautiful shade! (BE110)
• semi-matte finish (which is something I prefer over the glossy lipsticks)
• long-lasting

Cons

• can dry out the lips because of the semi-matte finish
• I find the mirror size quite impractical (although you can make it work)

Rate : 4.5/5

Will I repurchase? Of course! I would like to try the other colours as well!

Overall, I really like this lipstick for its colour and finish, and I would like to try other colours as well!

Review : Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk BE102

Hi everyone! Today I have a lip stick review. It is from Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk line. This line was released in 2014. Mine is in the shade BE102 매혹적인 여신포즈 베이지.

I can't find the English name of this shade and I looked up to google translate and it says 'Seductive Goddess Pose Beige'. What a unique name.

This is what the packaging looks like.

The packaging is normal, it's how Etude House presents itself: princess-like and girly. It has a cute pink ribbon and sturdy packaging, it click upon opening or closing the product, and it is retractable.

I've had this for about 1 year. This is how much product left in the tube.

One thing I notice though, this lipstick can actually melt inside the tube if exposed to high temperature. My lipstick is kind of messy because of that. However, that didn't really bother me.

Here are the swatches of the product, both in natural light and in flash. I really love this shade. It is a pinkish nude shade that definitely suits every skin tone.

And as you can see from the pictures, I did 1 swipe, 3 swipes, and 5 swipes for the swatches, and they all look the same. This lipstick is so pigmented that even if I don't label the swipes, you wouldn't be able to differ the swipes. It is highly pigmented.

And here is the swatch of the lip stick on my lips. My lips are quite pigmented to begin with, so I was surprised that it actually showed up pretty well. It looked more pinkish in flash but in natural light it looked more reddish nude. 

This lipstick is also very moisturizing. It doesn't shrink into the dry patches of my lips. It is very glossy, and I think because of that, the lasting power of this lipstick isn't that great. It easily comes off just by touching it. So, you might want to avoid eating with this lipstick on. But, I really like this new formula better than the Dear My Blooming Lips line.

You also need to blend with your fingers because if not, the lip stick will get really messy, blotchy and ugly, as seen here :

So, here are the pros and cons :

Pros :

• highly pigmented
• very moisturizing
• nice packaging
• doesn't shrink into dry patches of the lips

Cons :

• not very long-lasting

Overall, I think this lipstick is really good and high quality.

Rate : 4.5 / 5

(minus 0.5 point because of the lasting power)

Repurchase? Of course! I would love to try out the other colours as well!

Hope this review helps! See you guys on the future posts!

For better view of this product, I retook the swatch photo on my lips. Thanks again for visiting my blog!!
