This time I want to review a collection by Etude House. If you are not familiar with Etude House, it is a Korean make-up brand that getting very popular all over the world. They open up their store majority of it in Asia. I personally hope that they open one up here in the US.
This collection is called Sweet Recipe for Spring 2013 Collection and it was endorsed by f(x) sulli and Krystal with SHInee. The concept of the collection is something sweet that's why all the name and packaging of this collection are things you can find at a bakery or something sweet ;) ok lets get started.
Baby Choux Base
This is a make up base/primer. This product supposed to give your skin a baby like skin finish and to help you foundation/BB cream/ CC cream to glide on more smoothly. I have this base in Peach Choux and I must say it's ok so far. I only wear it once to be honest. It does made my skin feel baby smooth and my BB cream does glide a little bit more smoothly. I have to keep on using it to really see if this product is any good.
Cookie Pact
I actually did not purchase this powder. The reason is that I read other blogger's review on it and I feel like I don't miss out on anything by not purchasing this powder. I'm using Chanel and Lancome finishing powder and I love the two so I figure why buy another one that doesn't work as well. Base on the review I read this powder doesn't do anything special, the oil control is not that great and the packaging is cheap (unfortunately some packaging on this collection are a bit cheap). If you've try this powder please leave a comment bellow and let me know what you think.
Chocolate Highlighter
I bought this highlighter since I don't have a powder highlighter. I actually like this highlighter even though it doesn't give a subtle highlight, it does brighten your face. I like using it if I'm not using blush or if I use the all over color from this collection. My recommendation is not to use a shimmery blush or bronzer when you use this highlighter because this highlighter is very shimmery and shiny. This product's packaging is cute however it is very cheap looking.
Chocolate Eyes
This chocolate palate is so cute...it makes me want to eat it instead. The brown color in the palate is very pigmented and very good for everyday use. I recommend this for those who are new to make up and it's good to have anyway if you are not new to make-up. The color is matte which is perfect for me because I have tons of shimmery brown. I do use this palate more often because its convenient. The downside is the packaging. It's a cardboard box packaging; very cheap and not very sturdy for travel.
Cupcake Eyes
One word to describe this eyeshadow? Shimmery!!! I have 3 of the eyeshadows: PK001, OR201, PP501. I do like these eyeshadow since I like the more natural make-up look for everyday. These shadows does give you color on your eyes, the shimmer brighten your eyes and yet still look natural. It won't make you look like you wear lots of make-up. The packaging is very cute, the only down side is I got it mix up with the all over color sometimes due to similar packaging.
Chocolate smudge liner
I admit the reason I bought this eyeliner in the first place is because of the cute packaging. I bought #2 of this eyeliner which is more of a lighter brown color. I found this eyeliner to be comparable to the wet'n wild gel liner. I feel for it's price it's not that good. I have to go in 2-3 times before I can get a solid line with this eyeliner; I don't know if it's because I have a lighter color? Anyone with the same issue? How's the darker color work for everyone else?
Cupcake All Over Color
I believe this product has multi-purpose. You can use it on your eyes, cheeks, and lips. So far I've only use it for cheek color. I don't know about using it on the lips though; eyes maybe. I really like this products not only it smells good and has cute packaging but it looks very nice on my skin tone ( I have a light-medium skin tone). The colors that I have are: PK001, PK002, and OR202. I use them a lot now. They look very nice together with chocolate highlighter to create a bright and fresh look.
Jelly Lips-talk
From the entire collection I was most excited about this lipstick, that's why I order 5 out of 8 lipstick. The colors I own are: JPK001, JPK002, JOR201, JPK003, and JOR203. The lipsticks however were not as great as I thought they would be. The color is sheer which I don't have a problem with because it looks very nice on the lips and its very shiny. However, this lipstick is not very moisturizing...my lips are dry when the color wears off. I have to use lip balm underneath this lipstick (even when re-applying). So, if you want a moisturizing lipstick, this is not for you.
Candy Stick
I was sure if I wanted to get this one but I gave in and buy one, #1 the pink one. I think their lip products for this collection just not very moisturizing. This candy stick is as drying as the lipstick and I'm glad I only got 1 of this. The color is pretty and the packaging is cute but that's all. If this thing is supposed to tint your lips, it doesn't and for a tinted lip balm is sure is not moisturizing at all. I don't recommend this one at all.
Ice Cream Nails
I'm actually quiet impress with the nail polish. For $3 these nail polish last awhile and very opaque. I have 3 of these nail polish, I have PK001, BL601, and OR201. The color is very cute and I love the ice-cream concept ( I LOVE ICE CREAM!!!) The price is not very bad either. I definitely recommend this product.
The rest of the products I'm showing you are all in the collection however I did not purchase them. They are all tools and you can always purchase them else where. here they are:
Cotton Candy Ball
Sliced Cake Puffs
Chocolate Stick Eyeliner Brush
Chocolate Stick Eyeshadow Brush
Overall I think they have a very fun and creative idea. From the packaging to the name of the products, they are very cute and delicious. I just wish that the quality of the product to be a bit better, especially the lipstick. I hope this short review help you decide what to get if you are interested in the collection. I will see you guys next time.
XOXO,
Fay Ming
