Etude House Color In Liquid Lips


Finally my new obsession came in the mail. Been waiting for some time for these to be delivered. I should have ordered just one colour. Don't know why I ended up getting two. I think because it was cheap enough that I got 2 for the price of one (retail pricing), thanks to all my vouchers and points.

I

It looks like a normal lipstick at a glance but it really is a gloss style. It comes in a typical gloss applicator and with a hole in the center - wonder why. This is the best smelling lip gloss I have ever inhaled. Second best was the old school Lancome Juice Tubes which smells like Fox blackcurrant candy. I've only used the purple coloured one so I don't know if the others smell the same. This one smells very familiar.. I can't really put a name to it but I think it's the Woody orange popsicle that I used to swallow by the dozens. Thanks, dad, you instilled a great sugar consuming habit on to me hhahah.





Ordered shade 204 and 205. Both looks ok on me. I gave them a try in the retail shop and I loved how they looked on me. I think the Etude lighting really makes them look super gorgeous. It looks nice still, now, but I think it looked better in the shop hahah. These are great as blush! I love how natural it looks. It's not matte, but not overly glossy as well. Doesn't feel dry but not exactly moisturising either. I think it has half tint properties. It's pretty lasting but not as lasting as the typical tint. 


This is what came off after a soft peck. I did this right after I applied it. It's considered pretty great compared to normal lipsticks. You will have to reapply after a meal or after an hour or so if you keep on drinking. 



#205 shade in this picture. Really looks different from what I see in the shop hahah. Lighting makes a lot of difference. I used it on my cheeks as well. The lighting dulls down the blush but it is pretty noticeable in real life.


Picture I sent to Jan to show her that it's also great a blush - again, not very obvious in this picture but I don't really like OTT blush so this is great for me. Just the way I like it. Finally I found a replacement for my Benefit Cha Cha Tint - I'm using that as my main blush. 


Me in #205 and Jan in #102.
I think my range is the Orange OR range and Jan's is the Beige BE range. Tried the other colours, so far none suits me except these two. Couldn't be bothered to try other orange. I think there are a couple more.


#205 again here.



#204 here. Lighting really makes a difference. It's supposed to be darker than #204 but because the sun is brighter here it's making it look lighter.

Etude House 
Color In Liquid Lips 
#204 & #205

Pros:
Doubles up as blush and it's fantastic at it.
Not drying.
More long lasting than normal lipstick.
Smells delicious #nomnomnom.

Cons:
Could be more lasting, need to reapply from time to time.
Not transfer proof so it'll probably stain your straw and mugs.

Rating: 4/5

SG50 Flea


So we had this SG50 flea some time back. Funny thing is, I wonder why wasn't the flea on the actual day itself ? Could it be because they anticipated lots of people going away for the long holiday? 



Made few more Insta pouches the night before. Absolutely love them. Jan bought the big insta bag. I've made another one since then. Jan, wheres my feedback!! You better write me a raving review hahaha.


Took some pictures for my Etsy listing. Love the grass colour contrast. Pouch comes with a long enough key chain and 3 mini rings for your keys. You can detach the chain which is really convenient if you want to just use the pouch for your cash, coins, and cards.


The wind was gushing madly on that day and we couldn't display the earrings flat on the table so we had to dump them on the baskets which is really not ideal. It drizzled for a bit midway but luckily it stopped after 5mins or so. Few stalls were already packing up, not sure if they decided they were done with the flea or they were preparing to move to the carpark area - which is the contingency plan. Luckily we didn't have to do that. It would have been a stuffy situation. 



It was supper sunny then. We started setting up the booth around 1245. Rushed to opposite to get some lunch first. Had trouble finding our table and then Conrad said it was better to move the table to another spot which is a good idea so we took so long before we could go and grab our lunch. I went up to grab sunblock. Definitely feeling the sun spots forming on my cheeks. Hope the Gili trip won't be burning new ones on my chub cheeks. Really am not liking them. Wearing my Uniqlo sun hoodie which I'll be dragging to Gili. Hopefully that'll save me from most of the sunburn.


They were giving out some kacang puteh and we chose ice gems. Are they super appropriate or what. I'm loving this picture. It will be the cover photo of www.iheartmacaroon.com soon.
