REVIEW * ~ Etude House Lip products! ~ *



Hello beauties! 

I will be sharing my experience about some of my lipsticks and lip tints from Etude House. When I was in Korea I picked up 3 Dear My Blooming Lips Talk lipsticks, 1 Color In Liquid Lips, 1 Color Lips Fit, and a Woo~ Baby Lip Plumper lip gloss.



I have Dear My Blooming Lips Talk lipsticks in pink, beige and red shades: PK005 "Thrill Pink", BE105 "Heartless Beige", and RD308 "Fall In Love Red". I was surprised by the lipsticks' pigmentation as it is really good, lightweight, and have a soft and creamy texture. They last for a couple of hours and you can touch up when it starts to fade. I find that they are not very moisturising, however, when a balm or vaseline is used before applying the lipstick it makes a huge difference.


I love the cute and elegant packaging, and noticed that their is a beautiful heart shaped pattern engraved in the stick. 

They retail for 11,10 US dollars on the Etude House Global website, but I am sure the prices vary among different websites and stores.



I picked up the Color Lips Fit in shade PK003 together with the Woo~ Baby Lip Plumper in shade 02
Unfortunately I am a little disappointed in the Color Lips Fit, as it turned out the be quite drying. When I picked it up I was not aware that it is a matte lip tint, so I was surprised when I found out. I do like the packaging and its spongy doe-foot applicator which is slightly tilted to one side making it easier to apply. The store clerk advised me to use it together with a lip gloss, which is why I decided to pick up the Woo~ Baby Lip Plumper which is a sparkling, light pink lip gloss. 


It has a pink container and a silicon applicator which glides on the lips. I found the formula of this product also very surprising! It is a high volume lip gloss which leaves a tingly and cooling sensation for the lips. It has a hint of menthol and is very refreshing, I have never experienced a lip gloss like this before, but I am positively surprised! In combination with the matte lip tint it gives a nice shiny and juicy finish and lasts for a good 3 hours before it needs another touch up. Both products are non sticky!

The Color Lips Fit retails for 11,70 US dollars, whereas the Whoo~ Baby Lip Plumper retails for 7,80 US dollars.



The last lip product is the Color In Liquid Lips in shade PK008. When I heard about this is new product I ordered it through TesterKorea.com. The pigmentation of the lip tint is amazing! It is so intense and leaves a shiny finish. It is also very moisturising and has a very smooth texture. It comes in a cute plastic container and the cushion waterdrop tip helps distribute the product evenly. The formula is non sticky and lasts for several hours. Another pro is that it contains sweet almond oil and sunflower seed oil to coat lips smoothly and moisturised. 
The "one touch color" technology is applied and I noticed that it indeed does not need any more touch ups making the product last longer. The way this product is applied is as follows: Use the waterdrop tip to apply the product in the center of your lips and along the natural lip line. Then spread the product evenly using your fingers. I definitely recommend this product for those who want to try an intense color, shiny, non sticky lip tint that lasts for a long time!

It retails for 12,40 US dollars.

Cleansing and Skincare * ~ Etude House Wonder Pore line ~ * *POPULAR*

Hello again!
Today I will be reviewing [Etude House] Wonder pore cleansing and skin care. I picked up the Wonder Pore Whipping Foaming cleanser, the Wonder Pore Freshner and the Wonder Pore Brush. I have wanted to review these products for a long time since I love them so much. I picked these up in March 2014 and have been using them ever since. Especially the Wonder Pore Freshner is loved by many Korean beauty bloggers.

' I am the Wonder Woman for your Pores ' 
Etude House

First of all let me give you some background information on my skin: I have a sensitive, combination type skin. I occasionally suffer from breakouts, blackheads and blemishes. The breakouts stem from hormonal changes, but as of today the blackheads will not go away. Since my skin is irritated quite easily I started looking for a cleanser that is 'soft' on my skin.



The [Etude House] Wonder Pore Whipping Foam comes in a blue 200ml container. It is formulated with an oxygen-delivering 'carbonated' ingredient. It also contains pore-caring natural ingredients and claims to treat impurities inside pores and helps preventing pores from getting clogged. The formula promises to be the total pore solution and does 7 wonders to your skin:
  • Deep cleanse pores
  • Balance your skin' s ideal pH level
  • Control a large amount of sebum
  • Minimize appearance of pores
  • Refine skin tones
  • Keep the elasticity of pores
  • Moisturize inside and outside of skin
How to use:
The texture is a soft foam and you only need a small amount. You can use this product in two ways: as a face wash and a face mask. As a face wash, dispense some product onto your palm or the Wonder Pore Brush. Apply onto wet face and gently massage in circular motions. Afterwards, rinse off with lukewarm water.  As a face mask, dispense some product onto your palms and apply onto wet face and leave on for about 1 or 2 minutes. Then use your fingers or the Wonder Pore Brush and  massage the skin in circular motions. Afterwards rinse off with lukewarm water. Whereas the face wash can be used daily It is recommended to use the face mask only once or twice every week. 



Right after using this product my skin felt soft and fresh. It smells somewhat like flowers 

It retails for approximately 14,40 US dollars (200ml).

The [Etude House] Wonder Pore Freshner is a toner that is supposed to be used after cleansing your face. It is a clear and watery substance that comes in a blue, plastic bottle of 250ml or 500ml.
Like the Whipping Foam, this product promises to perform 7 miracles for your skin, including: keeping pores clean, soft and moisturised, balance the skin's pH level (pH 4,5 care), control sebum and also tightens pores while enhancing elasticity.

After using this my face always feels clean and soft. After using this for over a year and a half I honestly do not notice any difference in size of my pores. However I do notice that my pores are more clean and that less blackheads appear.

A pro is that the formula is without any mineral oil, fragrance, colouring, talc, animal ingredients, and silicone oil, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin! Although no fragrance is added the product smells fresh like peppermint and flowers, similar to the Whipping Foam.

How to use: 
Dispense some product onto a cotton pad or wipe and gently apply to face in circular motions (this increases the blood circulation which gives you a nicer and healthier looking skin).
I really like the pump which you need to press to dispense some product. It gives you just the right amount of product which you need.

I find this the perfect cleanser to use in my morning and nighttime skincare routine. However, I may be switching to a different brand as I have been using this for such a long time, and I would like to try out some new products.

This product retails for about 11,70 US dollars (250ml), and 18,00 US dollars (500ml).
