Etude House Tint My Brow Gel

I dont know how i found out about this product. Maybe on one of those days where i was really lazy to draw and searched online, this product popped up. I saw some reviews that says the result will only last around 3 days. Thats not very impressive. But then again if it can last pretty long it might be very dark initially. Im expecting it to fade off as days go by. 

The instruction says:

Apply liberal amount after eyebrows are trimmed. Let dry for at least 2hrs. Best if you peel off the next morning, which i do not intend to do since this is my first try. I have to work the next day so.... Fingers crossed. 

Of course I got it in the darkest shade #3 Gray Brown. Was so tempted to also order the middle brown tone but i think it might be too light for me. 

Normal small brush applicator. The liquid is very thick but not so thick that its too difficult to apply.  Id say its just nice. I only went out of my bottom line by a tiny dot which i managed to use my fingernail to scrape off. 

Ready to see my Crayon Shinchan face......? 

TADAAAAAAAA..... 😱😱😱😱😱 hahahahahha. I showed Conrad after I applied it and he was like... "WTH.. Take if off now...!" Hahahahhaha.. 

Super scary! First 5mins of me applying it i was like.. "Shitttttttttt....." But i still wanna know how it will turn out to be.

After half an hour i touched it and its already dry. I guess for those of you who are scared you can peel it off now. But you might risk peeling off also the part underneath thats not yet dry.

So after an hr I decided to peel it off because it was already almost 1am and i need to faint. I had no intention of letting it stay till the next day just in case it gets too dark and i still had to go to work.. #nightmare. So after an hour, it was peeled off pretty easily. Not painful. Doesnt stick too tight or too dry to my eyebrow hair. None of my hair got peeled off.. I think. 

This is what it looked like. Pretty awesome! One thing i wasnt satisfied about was the front bit. I think maybe after 2 hrs it will look better. Very satisfied with my first attempt. 

This is what it looked like the next day. I topped up the front bit with a little of clio. I didnt do anything to the middle to back parts. Looks pretty good! I did not wash and scrub my eyebrows in the morning by the way. I was my face as per usual but i use Cetaphil so itll be gentler. I didnt rub it all over my eyebrow too. 

So... 2nd night i decided to do another hour of the stain. At first i wanted to only paint in on the front bit but i decided to do it on the entire brow. Just in case. 

This is what it looks like the next day. I did not top up at all! This is all the result of the stain from the night before. Awesomeness!

This is day 2 result. I did not top up in this picture. You can see that the front bit is starting to fade and the colour looks overall more light. I went out after i top up with a little clio again. 

Third day look. Front part is starting to fade more. Colour is noticeably lighter brown. Back part is starting to fade a little. I went out after i topped up with clip and etude - wanted a thicker look today. 

So far i have been using Cetaphil and no make up remover on my brows. When i applied clio i will softly wipe it with my micellar water. 

Day four. More fading. I was so tempted to top up the tint last night but my sleepiness got the better hold of me. It still looks fuller than my bare brows but that is about is. I topped up with clio this morning. I used my clarisonic brush and cleanser last night so it could probably have also scrubbed off the front bit. I tried not to go over my brows. This is the final day it lasted. Days after that I will really need to draw my entire brows. 

I have since tried applying it overnight or for 2 hours. There is no difference. In fact I prefer it when I only apply it for an hour and peel it off. I will from now on only apply for an hour before I peel it off. This will be great when I go on trips especially tours so I don't have to spend extra time drawing my brows for at least 2 days in a row. 

If you are like me and you sometimes apply serum - the more liquid kind, not the creamish kind, your brows will turn green hahahah. I didn't realise till my colleague asked... did you draw my brows (i draw my brows everyday) hahahah but he only noticed it when it turned green and became obvious that it wasn't my normal brow look. Anyway, I think the serum somehow seeps in and alters the colour. Only happens when I apply my Missha treatment essence and Mario Badescu vitamin C which are both watery. Other than that it doesn't happen when I use my Laneige time freeze serum which is the cream kind. 

Etude House Tint My Brow Gel

Gray Brown

Pros

Pretty long lasting.

Pretty easy to apply but you have to be careful if you don't really draw your brows often.

Good for short travel or when you are feeling lazy to draw your brows everyday.

Cons

I think it will finish very fast if you use it regularly.
Doest last as long as I have hoped but it lasts so much longer than the usual 

Etude House Snowy Dessert Pudding Tint

I got this super cute lip tint from Etude House. The packaging is super adorable. I wasn't going to get another tint since we all know my lip products are so many that they can probably last me till I'm a grandma. I just went into Etude to try them out one by one and I think this is the only shade that suits my lips. 

This is what it looks like after I started using it. I just throw it in my bag and it will move all over the place. It feels a little different from the usual balm that I'm used to. It feels a little gel-ish. A little weird in the beginning. I've been cleaning off the residue at the corner once in a while. Just be careful when you just throw it around. I think I've a tiny stain spot in my bag hahah. It doesn't leak but probably when I screw it back the tint smeared outside of the pot a little. You need to keep cleaning the smeared ones from the cap else... the more liquidy part of the balm which is on the top layer I think, the more water-ish part will seep out and stain your bag/pouch. Happened to me one time when I picked it up from my Kanken and my hand was slimy. Luckily my bag wasn't stained. I didn't check but I think it wasnt hahaha. 

It doesn't look like it will last long. I was pretty skeptical at first. I rubbed a part of it in the middle as you can see from the picture. This tint surprisingly lasts pretty long compared to normal lipstick. I didn't have much hope for it initially. I just got it because it looked like a pretty orangey pink and I didn't have that colour (ok.. not EXACTLY that colour). You will need to try it on your lips to see what it really looks like unless you are VERY fair and so I think your lips will also be a little of the light pinkish shade and hence all lipstick shade will be true-to-colour on your lips. 

How long lasting is this tint? Hmm.. I still need to reapply after a meal but the colour is still there though not in its original shade. If you eat fried chicken like a barbarian I think it will most definitely be gone completely but other than that... probably you can still get away with not topping up but I want great looking lips all the time so I will definitely touch up.

The finished look is a little matte but the good thing is, it doesn't feel drying like most matte lipsticks do. It doesn't look too matte as well. Doesn't look dry. The usual matte lipsticks will highlight all your lip lines or your flaky lip bits. This one does also but in a very minimal scale. If you start seeing lines, just smooth your lips out and it will look as good as freshly applied. 

This is what it looks on me. I didn't apply any base lipstick underneath. I usually will apply my Benefit Cha Cha Tint before I apply anything else. This tint is really wonderful. It glides on smoothly. It isn't drying like any other matte lipstick. If your lips are a little chapped you can still get away with it. My lips have been very dry recently but I can still get away with this. 

Etude House Snowy Dessert Pudding Tint 

PK001 Grapefruit Pudding

Pros

Pretty long lasting.

Glides on smoothly.

Does not highlight lip lines.

Looks matte but not drying.

Cons

Pretty heavy for its size (I think because it's glass container) - but not that much of a turn off.

You have to use your finger to apply which is... pretty gross for some people and aint nobody got time for lip brushes.

If you don't keep it in a upright position or clean it frequently, it will eventually seep out and stain ur bag a little.  

Etude House Bling Me Prism

So I was browsing online and thought I needed these hahah. 

Got two colours: #01 Honey Glam which is a golden beige shade and #04 Bling Bold which is a golden brown shade. 

The applicator tip is pretty unusual for an eye shadow. But it's probably due to its creamy texture. It's good that it's not in a pot where you will need to either use your finger or a brush. Both will be so tedious to clean up thanks to the fast drying cream and the plentiful shimmer.

Both colour payoff is very strong. Very creamy upon application. You can still blend it after you've applied it but they dry off pretty fast so if you need to smudge it, smudge it fast. One thing I don't really like is the shimmer. It's too much. It's too metallic shimmery for me. 

This is after application which I've already applied other shadows on top. Just used some dark brown powder eye shadow on top of it and I applied the gold beige cream on the inner corner of my eyes,  all super blended out thinly. A word of advice when you use this: start with very little instead of smudging the whole applicator on your lid. Dot little dots on the part you want them to be on. Since the texture is creamy, it'll serve as a semi primer also, letting your powder shadows sit better. I love how it turned out in these pictures but in other lighting it doesn't look as flattering hahah. It's all about the angles. :)

Etude House Bling Me Prism
#01 Honey Glam
#05 Bling Bold

Pros:
Very strong colour payoff
You only need a little bit every time you apply so that small bottle will last very long

Cons:
Too shimmery for me
The effect is a little too strong for my liking but maybe I'm just pro lighter looks

Verdict: 
I probably won't repurchase these. If you like the strong look, this is the one for you.

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

Etude House Tint My Brows

Went to the new super huge flagship Etude House store at Wisma Atria today. They have many more new items compared to the other tiny Etude shops.  Ive used up my single 20% off yesterday. What a waste. I got the hair treatment and more lip balm. Will do the review for those next time. 

This brow filler is waterproof and comes in 2 shades. I got shade #1. The other is a light brown shade more suitable if you have dyed brown hair. 

It comes with instructions on the side which confused me for a while. But i ended up using it like i would a normal brow pencil.

Just like a calligraphy pen tip. Soft and glides smoothly. Dispenses automatically,  no twist cap. 

Most bottom stroke is one layer of the tint, second stroke up has 2 layers, top stroke has 3 layers. It is pretty light but i think that is a good thing. You cant build it up to be too strong which always happen if you get too carried away with brow pencil. Colour matches my original brow colour well. 

It doesn't look very different compared to my black nature republic brow pencil. The finish is more natural. And i did a scrub test. Usually with one swipe of my finger the pencil will rub off immediately but one swipe wont do much to this tint. 

Havent worn this out for  the whole day but i can forsee it lasting the entire day. Usually at the end of the day with brow pencil my brow shape will get distorted -certain spots are starting to bald. I think its because i usually scratch any itch i feel on my brows hahah. My original brow without make up is pretty sparse. Just one patch of healthy growing brow at the front and towards the end the growth is very sparse. Ive been trying to reshape and grow out my brows but the progress is really really x5billion times slow. 

There is no spooley and no need for that since the look is already so natural and light. I guess i can save time too since I skip this step. 

Etude House Tint My Brows

#01 Gray Brown 

Pros: 

"Waterproof" enough. 

Smaller than normal eyebrow pencil - very portable.

Light tint so you wont overdraw your brows.

More natural finish than pencil. 

Cons: 

None so far - size wise maybe it will finish very fast if you use it daily

Rating: 4.5/5 

Best eyebrow filler so far. I will be replacing most of my pencils to this next round. 

Etude House Color Lips-fit

Got this Etude House Color Lips-fit lippie last trip to Seoul. The texture is unlike your usual lip gloss or tint. I would say it feels moussey. The shade I got was in #OR201 Dream Fit Coral. 

It feels really dry once you apply it onto your lips. And this lip mousse (I'll just call it that) will not be flattering if you have cracked lips or dry lips or your lips have many lines. The formula and texture kinda eats in into every imperfections you can see on your lips. It looks really orange but its more of a pink once smoothened. 

Photo is with lip balm and the mousse. You cant really tell the lines and flakes but they are there! Colour is not as intense as the swatch because i blot them off. It looks horrible on me when its too strong.

I peeled and scrubbed my lips with my fingers this morning while watching tv. #Superbadidea. So its now peeling in the centre. You know the kind of conditoon where you see lots of flaky skin you can peel but if you peel them it will sting like hell. Exactly the situation im in right now. After that i scrubbed my lips properly using this:

Too Cool For School's - Maybe Baby. Has lip scrub on one end and lip essence (lipbalm) on the other end. On usual days they do work well if I use them before I apply the lip mousse. But since Ive screwed up my lips this morning, this didnt work at all. This brand's products are generally pricier than Etude House. I really like their packaging. Besides this I have an eyeliner and makeup fixer, all which Ive gotten from Seoul since its cheaper there. 

Smoothed everything out with finger and applied a little lip balm/gloss on top. You have to really smooth them out. Not the kind you can apply without a mirror. And if you apply too much, it looks really scary. And other lip gloss wont work well too if you apply too much on top of it. I learnt this the hard way. They are selling this mousse with a clear gloss which i didnt get  since i dont like lip gloss. This takes too much effort to put on and maintain and im too lazy for that. Have I mentioned that it smells divine! Like bubble gum! 

So verdict is: Only get this if you have ugly lips like mine and dont mind all the scrubbing, careful applications and maintenance (which happens every now and then especially after having a meal) or you have pretty moist buttery lips with no flakes or lines then lucky you! This mousse is meant for your gorgeous lips!
