Etude House: &Rose Makeup Collection

Advertorial

I'm extremely grateful to be able to review one of my favourite make-up / skincare brands ever - Etude House! It's a huge privilege and I'm secretly very excited because I have been an ardent fan of their BB cream, foundations & masks. Besides being one of the better & affordable brands around, their packaging is always soooo pretty! It's cute & girly and wins hearts everywhere I'm sure! :P

Today, I'm going to share with you two of Etude House's newest products - 'Rosy Tint Lips' & '&Rose Flowering Nails' (Yes, there's a & before the Rose! (: ) I loveee lip products because they are a simple touch to make you look complete. Without lipstick, I can look pale very easily and I don't come off as healthy in pictures. Picture taken below is me with make-up but nothing on my lips! PALE RIGHT!




Super super excited to try on the whole range! The colors look really good and I've always wanted to try bolder colors like, Orange & Burgundy! Not my usual lip colors.


The full range of shades available! From Red to Orange, Fuchsia, Pink and Beige

A poorly done swatch of the colors, hehe


So... here's a better illustration of the colors + a description for you!



I've chosen 3 colors to swatch on my own lips to show you the colors better!
The colors are #2 Sunny Flower, #5 Baby Peony, and #8 After Blossom


The first color I tried on was #5 Baby Peony! It is such a lovely pink I couldn't resist!!



There's a sponge applicator and I didn't quite fancy the sponges because you have to make sure your lips are really clean before application which makes reapplication after mealtimes not so convenient. BUT... With these lip tints, you hardly need much reapplication!!






I AM IN LOVE WITH THE PINK!! It's really girly & pretty!
The lip tint goes on really creamy to form a velvety texture on your lips. I'm quite surprised that a lip tint would come in a cream texture but this is a good thing. No more sticky feeling! This goes on like second skin on your lips, truly! I prefer lip tints & lipsticks to lip glosses because I don't like how sticky glosses can be, and how hair easily sticks on your lips with glosses, but no such problem now, hehe.

Removed the first color thoroughly and on to the next - #2 Sunny Flower
It's a gorgeous vibrant orange color. A crazy popular color with Koreans and I've long wanted to try it on myself. Here's my chance! ;)





The color goes on really well! I've always thought that it'll fare better with girls with fairer skins, but I thought it didn't look too bad on me, right? Hahaha! I really love how pigmented these tints are, and like I've mentioned, minimal reapplication is needed. Unless you really licked it off your lips during mealtimes, or wiped it all off vigourously.

The last color I've picked to try, and also the boldest/darkest color - #8 After Blossom







It didn't go on as dark as I expected it to, but it still gave me a feminine and slightly sultry look. I can see myself pairing it with darker colored clothes and it'll make it work so well together (:

I absolutely adore the whole range of lip tints and I'm not just saying it because I'm sponsored. I truly am a fan of lip products and these are one of the best ones I've tried with an extremely affordable price tag! The colors are varied nicely and it's well pigmented, providing you with a good color for your lips. I love how it isn't sheer like how some lip tints are. This gives you a true color while adhering to your lips like second skin! <3

(P.S. You can also apply this as a cheek tint! Dispense a small amount on your finger and very gently dot on your cheeks, blending it quickly with your fingers!)


The next product to feature would be the &Rose Flowering Nails:
Watery Rose (left), Velvet Rose (right)


Watery Rose Set comes in 2 colors (Rosy Blossom [L], Dewy Rose [R] + 1 White lace nail sticker sheet.
You can create a gradient nail easily without it creasing!



Velvet Rose set comes in 2 colors too! Rose Garden (L), After Blossom (R) + 1 Black lace nail sticket sheet
Hydrated Silica formulated in the base naturally removes the glossiness of the nail color and leaves it velvety matt on nails. You need not layer it on top of a base coat or finish off with a top coat to let the velvety texture show!



I've personally haven't had the time to sit down to paint my nails because of the huge workload over the week (L&E flash sales/collection launches which call for massive manual workload), but here are some inspirations from Etude House to get you started on your nails!! I can't wait to try ;)



I've hope you enjoyed this Beauty review from Etude House's new collection very kindly sponsored by Cozycot (Thank you so much, Ying Xiu!!) and sorry for the incessant postings of my face hahaha!

The lip tints are a must-buy, I love them so much I've really been wearing it a lot when I'm out these days! Lots of thumbs up for these ;) Collection is already available in stores!
