Etude House Dear darling tint water gel tint PK003 review

When I first got into Asian beauty, probably around 8 years ago,  lip tints were my shit. Like seriously,  I had so many tints from different brands that were all essentially the same colour and thing. A red water tint is a red water tint whether it's from A or from B, I learnt that the hard way.

The Dear darling water gel tints are a new line from Etude House, they're an upgrade from the old dear darling tint which many people weren't fond of. I think that the water gel is a better formula choice for those of us that don't like water tint.

The collection has a pretty wide shade range, from dark vampy reds to bright oranges. I picked the shade PK003 as it was a MLBB shade which a lot of people like myself love. But it's pretty clear that etude house edit their colours onto a models lips. So the swatch is no where near accurate. In the photo I posted the tint looks red, in the etude house photo its like dusty rose colour. But actually i find it to be more of a brown toned pink. I find this colour really flattering on my skin tone.

The texture is water gel, so it's easy to spread like a water tint but has more pigmentation due to the gel like consistency. But I do find that it takes a long time to sink in, as I've found my lips can still be sticky an hour later. This can also mean that some people may have difficulty with application, but personally I don't find it to be patchy :) I also find the tint to be very long lasting which I love because I am not about the reapplication life.

For anyone wanting a long lasting mlbb shade I would recommend this, but would I repurchase? probably,  I'm kind of over lip tints but I do love this product and as I've never finished a tint it will definitely last me ages!

June favourites

Hollister 'Laguna Beach', Etude House SHINI STAR, Maybelline baby lips 'anti oxident berry', Maybelline baby lips 'cherry me', Etude House juciy cocktail gradation nails 5

My first product is just the hollister spray, it's around £12-£14 I'm not to sure but you get alot of product and it smells heavenly, also the bottle is not too tall and quite thin so it's easy to carry around and the nozzle squirts out alot of scent. The scent is florally and it stays with you for a while. Seeing as it's pretty affordable and has alot of product I don't feel bad spritzing alot on where as if I was using my Jimmy choo or Vera Wang perfume I'd be like saving every drop.

Next is just the shini star bb lotion by etude, it's a pretty small bb cream and only comes in one size and one colour, it has spf and pa++ which is great for me though the spf is low for me but it's all right since i wear missha sun block anyway. The coverage is good, allthough I don't recommend it for people with acne or dry patches because I think it'll just powder up around spots or dry patches and look pretty sickly. None the less the pump and overall packaging is cute and the product is good so I love it.

This baby lips isn't available in the UK or US, it was aimed at the asia region and I actually got it off ebay from thailand for £2.50. It's just a moisterizing lip balm which is small, cute and affordable (even if you are ordering it online), the only negative thing I have to say is, it can leave a horrid gloop/cast on your lips but overall it's a a good lip balm, not better then my etude ones but more like just a lip balm i carry in my bag.

Another baby lips, this one is the cherry me one which I got from Canada, the flavour is okay and the colour pay off isn't the best but atleast it doesn't look tacky  right? but this is great for that natural flush especially for school where you don't want to look too over done. It's also moisterizing but the colour transfers easilly.

Lastly another Etude product, this time for the nails. My review on the blue gradation nails blew up so I'll probably review this one too, just comment below if you'd like that ^_^

This golden rustic colour is 5  princess mary. I love these colours as I find them really wearable individually aswell as together like if it's just a normal day I might just wear the colours on their own, but you can also play the whole gradiation down by just having glittery french tips for a night out where as more blended look for work or school.

Etude House - Lip perfume review

The packaging is super cute and kind of reminiscent of benefit cosmetics? well to me at least. The pot it comes in, is a little larger then a regular Vaseline tin and I think the bottom/pot part is made of glass which makes it weight quite abit. None the less the product itself, I adore! First of all it's peach flavoured (doesn't get better then that) and it's not just one of those that only smells when it's in the pot, it actually scents your lips too which is nice. Oh and for the record, it's super moisturising, hydrating and lightly pigmented.

So, this is a moisturising balm, with a subtle tint, it has a lovely scent hence being called a lip perfume. The packaging is good quality and unique.
However it is quite thick so you have to dig to get a good amount of product, which can be quite un hygienic and the only alternative is using a lip brush (which is just too extra) or melt it a bit.

Review: Etude house - Green Tea mask

The packaging is really cute and quite minimalistic which is expected from Etude, and on the reverse it has ingredients and instructions both in english and Korean for those who can't read hangul and/or may have allergies to certain ingredients or for those who don't know how to use a sheet mask (it has a small photo)

✔ It isn't dripping with serum

✔ It's thick so it won't rip easily

✔ It's really calming and refreshing

✖ It didn't make a huge difference to my skin

✖ It has no actual green tea scent
