What comes to mind when you think of summer? Shaping an hourglass silhouette? Battling the soaring temperatures? Makeup melting off your face in a matter of minutes? Well, Etude House is able to tick off one of your summer woes with its waterproof Lock'n Summer collection.
ღ Precious Mineral Proof Any Cushion SPF50+ PA+++
Precious Mineral Proof Any Cushion has a matte formula and gives a slight cooling sensation upon application. It helps to reduce the appearance of pores and provides substantial coverage that borders on medium (even without packing it on). Having said that, it is unforgiving on dry patches and only caters to a select few because the shades run light. One has practically got to be Snow White in order to wear the lighter N02 Light Beige 라이트 베이지! W13 Natural Beige 내추럴 베이지, the darker shade, leans on the ochre side and may look dark in the pan, but it lightens tremendously once it goes on the skin.
If possible, get a match at the stores. I would not recommend buying blind.
ღ Proof 10 Cushion Lock'n Liner
If you are used to the traditional gel liners that come in pots, I am sure you can see the appeal in cushion liners, or to be more precise, Proof 10 Cushion Lock'n Liner. It dries really quickly, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Pros? It does not budge once it sets. Cons? The brush is not able to deliver product continuously, which means constant re-dipping is necessary. The compact comes packaged with its own brush, so you do not have to purchase one, but you may already own a brush that you are comfortable working with already. It is still an appreciable gesture though!
BR401 Peace Brown 피스 브라운 is the one in my possession; there are four other colours in the collection:
ღ Lock'n Summer Cushion Blusher
If I was not the one whacking OR201 Let's Go! Coral 렛츠 고! 코랄 on, I would not even know it was there. It can be a good thing because it is impossible to overdo. On the other hand, since it barely leaves a hint of colour (disappears on the skin really), I wondered whether there is a point in applying it? You may have better luck with it - the apricot shade might not be tailored for my skin tone...
Only two shades are available, and I am raring to give PK001 Hey Yo! Pink 헤이 요! 핑크 a look when it comes to my shores!
ღ Face Conditioning Fixer
The 20 ml bottle pictured is a miniature that is available as a gift with purchase on etudehouse.com. It shares the same formula as the Lock'n Summer Face Conditioning Fixer that retails for ₩ 10,000 (80 ml). I would have liked for it to come in an aerosol can because the current spray mechanism dispenses large, rain like droplets that is more likely to mess makeup rather than to lock it in. I have not noticed a difference in the longevity of my carefully painted face; thankfully it works well as a regular mist!
And that ends this image heavy post! Any thoughts you would like to share regarding this collection?

Hmm... From your review, it looks like I'll only take a look at the eyeliner once it hits our shores. Would love to try out the red/purple/blue since those colours are more unique. :) Too bad about the blusher not showing up on your skin; maybe the pink one will show up better?
Interesting, I thought the Precious Proof Any Cushion is the same as the original version, just different packaging, I didn't know it has a matte finish, I have to check this out! And the Proof 10 Cushion Liner is so unique! I reminds me of the times where people use ink and quill feather to write xD
I want everything! They're all so cute and the cushion is the biggest thing I see nowadays. :/
