[ETUDE HOUSE] Color Lips-fit *See-Thru Fit Beige & Petti/Top Coat*

When I wear lipsticks I often have the problem that it doesn't last long. After drinking, eating or "licking" my lips too much the color is gone! Then I tried [ETUDE HOUSE]'s Fresh Cherry Tint a while ago and this liquid lip color held longer on my lips than a normal lipstick. Therefore, I had to get one of the new Color Lips-fit lip tints as well. My color choice was #BE101 See-Thru Fit Beige and #WH901 Petti & Top Coat.
There are six (6) more colors available!



Description (Lip Tint): This is a revolutionary liquid type Lipstick that moistly glides onto lips with its vivid color and finishes off with a weightless powdery texture.

Description (Top Coat): This is a revolutionary 2-in-1 Lip Gloss with a non-sticky texture, providing a priming effect before lipstick and moist coating effect after lipstick to express vivid and shiny lips.


Each product comes inside a pink-colored paper box with the Korean and English description on it. Inside the box is the bottle which is made of glass, contains 10g and has a white twist-off lid. The applicator is attached on the lid.
The applicator is very soft and flexible. The lip tints come with a sweet scent - kinda fruity or bubblegum-like.
How to apply them?
#WH901 Petti & Top Coat:
As Undercoat: Apply onto clean lips. Apply desired color of Color Lips-fit. More natural gradation lips possible when applied onto center of lower lips.
As Topcoat: After Color Lips-fit is completely dry (approx. 60 seconds after application) apply a layer for light and clear gloss.
#BE101 See-Thru Fit Beige:
Shake well before use then apply smoothly with tip. Lightly dap onto center of lips for gradation. Delicately apply for full cover.
For moist gloss apply a layer of WH901 after color!
The Color Lips-fit products are easy to apply. My lips feel moisturized and the color is bold enough. The colored lip tints leave a powdery, matte finish what I like. If I want it more glossy I apply the clear top/undercoat over it which is non-sticky at all.
What I don't like too much is the color of the beige itself. I love beige lip colors but this one is just not the kind of beige I expected. Its color goes more into orange with a hint of pink and well...beige. That's why I apply it only on the center of my lips and spread it.
I like the Color Lips-fit tints and might get one of the pink shades (PK001 or PK003), too. 
But maybe I will even try those Rosy tint Lips instead. 

Price: About 8,- €/ US$10 
Bought at: eBay (f2plus1) 

What I love: 
The moisturizing feeling and matte finish. The fruity scent is also nice! 

What I don’t like: 
The beige shade could be more (light) beige. 

Will I buy this again? Only in another shade or maybe even the Rosy tint Lips instead!

[ETUDE HOUSE] Face Conditioning CREAM

When I wear make-up it always gets oily or flaky after a few hours. Because of that I'm constantly looking for products that shall reduce sebum secretion yet are still moisturizing. 
I have used different primers and make-up fixing sprays so far but nothing really satisfied me and so I got now [ETUDE HOUSE]'s latest product: the Face Conditioning CREAM.

As far as I know there are no more products in this range!

Description: This is a quick and easy makeup boosting cream that smoothly conditions skin with its light and soft texture for a makeup-ready complexion. SPF25/PA++

The Face Conditioning CREAM comes inside a pearl-white paper box with a mirror print on the front. The description and ingredient list is also in Korean and English on the box.
The product itself is inside a white tube which contains 75g and comes with a silver twist-off lid.
Ingredients:
Beside Coconut Oil, Olive Fruit Oil and Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil it also contains Water, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Butylene Glycol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Arbutin, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Titanium Dioxide, Cetyl Alcohol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Silica, Lipase, Chitosan, Alcohol, Xanthan Gum, Disodium Edta, Adenosine, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance and some more.
The light-scented cream which has Whitening, Anti-Wrinkle and Skin Balancing properties has a creamy consistency and a white color. When I first saw the white cream I was afraid that it will make my face too white but when I apply just a bit and spread it well it brightens up my skin only. Asians might like the whitening effect way more I believe!
[ETUDE HOUSE] recommend to use the Face Conditioning CREAM right after using a toner when you have oily skin and after a face moisturizer when you have rather dry skin.
I have oily skin with dry areas, so I prefer to use a normal face cream before using this product.
I mainly apply it on my T Zone and till now I kinda like it. It doesn't keep my skin oil-free and moisturized for the whole day, though, but my make-up lasts longer and doesn't look as greasy as without this cream.
How to use: After applying toner, spread a certain amount of Face Conditioning Cream evenly onto face.

Price: About 11,- €/ US$15
Bought at: eBay (f2plus1) 

What I love:
My make-up lasts longer! 

What I don’t like: 
The white color because I personally don't need whiter skin. 

Will I buy this again? Not sure yet! Since I use only a little amount I think the tube might last for awhile.
