We have made it to 2014 – may it bring you plenty of joy and laughter!
Now that is out of the way let's move on to some serious business - lipsticks, courtesy of Etude House.
I usually prefer my lipstick packaging to have a little bit of heft (it feels more luxurious) but can you blame me for not caring this time around? Just look at this tube!
There are three shades in this collection. Etude House usually furnishes swatches, and I am including them seeing that they provide a different perspective due to the difference in undertones.
PBE102 A Moon Flower Under the Starlight 별빛 아래 문 플라워 is a mellow apricot.
PRD302 A Sip of Bordeaux Wine 보르도 와인 한 모금 is a crimson red.
PPK005 A Noble Peony of Versailles 고귀한 베르사유 피오니 is a french fuchsia.
All three lipsticks glide smoothly on the lips (without the help of a lipbalm) and look gorgeous on. The colour payoff is sheer, but totally buildable, while remaining lightweight.
The staying power is pretty good considering the glossy finish. They definitely need reapplying after snacking etc though. The rose scent is a delight and a refreshing change from apricot, which was the trend among the previous releases.
Crystal Shine Lips has the makings of a great lipstick, and for that, it secures a spot in the top ranks of my most loved Etude House lip products.
