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.

They have rose scents this time around? OKAY I NEED THESE! I'm not normally a nude lipstick kinda person but PBE102 looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteeh..isn't the previous released also smelled like a rose? o.o
ReplyDeleteHey Mizu! I didn't make it clear in the text, but I was referring to lipsticks and not lip products in general.
ReplyDeleteThey are so "Anna Sui"!
ReplyDeleteLove the purple shade on you. (and those neat paper swatches!)
Happy New Year--I wish you the best of everything in 2014!

ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I would love to get my hands on an Etude product but there's not a single branch here in our city so bummer... the closest thing I ever had with an etude product was the lip balm and face masks my Korean students brought me from Korea.. #giglove
