[ETUDE HOUSE] Moon Crystal Power Gloss *Purple Holy Beam*

In my review about the LUCIDarling Fantastic Rouge Gloss I mentioned that I wanna try out a purple lippie or gloss. Unfortunately, the reviewed gloss in #7 Soft Mauve wasn't as purple as I hoped it would be. Because of that I was looking for another gloss and decided to get the Moon Crystal Power Gloss in #4 Purple Holy Beam from [ETUDE HOUSE].

This lip gloss is available in 5 heavenly colors:

- #1 Aqua Pink Soul

- #2 Ruby Moon Crystal

- #3 Coral Prism Power

- #4 Purple Holy Beam

- #5 Android Pinky Way

Description: Moon Crystal Power Lip Gloss features star-like pearl sparkles to accent your lips, for a mesmerizing evening look!

Lasting Polymer System + High-Smoothing System

The gloss comes in a translucent bottle with a purple twist-off lid and contains 5g. The tip is a lip brush and not a sponge or silicone applicator like some other glosses have.

#4 Purple Holy Beam is a very sheer purple with lots of pink and purple glitter. The color reminds me of the 7-Fruit Princess Gloss *Plum Princess* from [TONYMOLY] just that this one here is much more sparkling.

The consistency is a bit thick and sticky but not too much. The gloss last longer on my lips than some other glosses I tried out. The slightly sweet scent is also nice!

Bought at: eBay (cosmetic.love)  

 

What I love: 
The purple color is quite nice!

 

What I don’t like:  

There is nothing I dislike yet.

Will I buy this again? Maybe another color!

[ETUDE HOUSE] Juicy pop tube *Apricot Smoothie*

[ETUDE HOUSE] recently got some new Lip Glosses. I'm not really sure if these are completely new or if they just changed the design and added some new flavors. Anyway, I'm talking about the Juicy pop tube glosses.

The new ones are available in eight (8) different colors and flavors:

- #1 Blueberry Soda

- #2 Watermelon Soda

- #3 Cherry Soda

- #4 Lime Soda

- #5 Orange Soda

- #6 Apricot Smoothie

- #7 Strawberry Smoothie

- #8 Raspberry Smoothie

I got just one color for now - No.6 Apricot Smoothie.

Description: Natural Luster Lip Gloss!

Sturdy, smooth tube for clean & convenient application & use. Smooth & light texture without stickiness. Easy-to-carry (pocket-sized).

The Juicy pop glosses come in a translucent and small tube with a simple twist-off lid. The tube contains 12g. The applicator is just made of plastic!

I got Apricot Smoothie because I liked the peachy orange shade. It also smells super fruity like apricots! This lip gloss isn't sticky and has also no shimmer. My lips just look very glossy with a hint of color.

Price: around 6,- €/ US$8 

Bought at: eBay (zinopark)    

What I love:    

The fruity scent & non-sticky texture!

What I don’t like:
There is nothing atm.

Will I buy this again? Thinking about getting another color.

[TONYMOLY] 7-Fruit Princess Gloss *Plum Princess*

A few month ago I received a really cute Lip gloss.... the 7-Fruit Princess Gloss from [TONYMOLY]. I don't use a lot of stuff from this brand even though they have some nice things.

I wanted a Lip gloss without much color. That's why I got this cute gloss in  #2 Plum Princess.

The Gloss is available in 7 different fruit flavors:

- #1 Strawberry Princess

- #2 Plum Princess

- #3 Mangosteen Princess

- #4 Apricot Princess

- #5 Pomegranate Princess

- #6 Cherry Princess

- #7 Apple Princess

Description: Princess Gloss features all the fun and flavor of you favorite fruit-flavored Lip Smacker. Moisturizing formula softens and smooths lips with a juicy burst of fruit flavor.

Contains Shea Butter, Vitamin A, C, E and Rose Hip Oil.

The packaging is translucent and the bottom part of the Lip gloss container, too. The lid is very cute and looks like a plum. Each flavor got another 'fruit' as head/ lid. The sponge applicator is soft but small coz it's just a mini lip gloss with 7g.

I got #2 Plum Princess coz I saw some sample pics and this one seemed to be rather clear. After trying it by myself I can agree it: The color is barely visible. It has a hint of pink in it with some violet shimmer. The consistency is - like most lip glosses - jelly-like but not sticky and it smells like plums.

The 7-Fruit Princess Gloss is very cute and handy but the applicator is too small for me. I have to use it many times to get enough gloss on my lips.

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL)    

What I love:    

The cute design and small size.

What I don’t like:
The applicator is too small. Need to re-apply many times to get enough gloss on my lips.

Will I buy this again? Maybe another color. But it's also a bit pricey for its size.

[SKINFOOD] Rose Essence Lip Balm *Care Balm*

I signed the contract for my new apartment today. I'm kinda excited because it will be the very first time that I really live alone. No parents, housemates or boyfriend!! In May I can move in and the best part will be the shopping: I need ALL furniture including a new kitchen.

I'm always have problems with dry lips especially during winter time. I use a lot of lip balms at this season. Last time I purchased the Rose Essence Lip Balm in #1 Care Balm from [SKINFOOD]. It's also available as #2 Tinted Balm for rosy lips.

Description: An essence lip balm with rose essential oil that moisturizes and nourishes your lips at the same time while protecting from environmental aggressors. The subtle fragrance of rose attunes your senses.

 The Lip Balm comes in a small metallic pink container with a twist-off lid. Inside are 8g!

The milky pink care balm has a thick consistency and the scent of roses. I don't like rose scents but this one is still bearable for me. You have to use your fingers to get the balm out of the container what I don't really like. I prefer stick balms!!

After applying it, my lips look less dry and glossy. I like to use it over night!

My lips without any balm (pic above) and with the Rose Essence Lip Balm (pics below):

How to use:  Apply liberally onto the lips whenever they feel dry or you want to create soft lips.

Price: around 7,50,- €/ US$9.50    
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)   

What I love: 
There is nothing I really love.   

What I don’t like:  

I have to use my fingers to get the balm out. 

Will I buy this again? I'm not sure yet!

[ETUDE HOUSE] LUCIDarling Fantastic Rouge Gloss *Soft Mauve*

I was always curious about purple lip colours but I never dare to purchase one. I scare too much that the color might be too strong and looks weird on me. I prefer the 'Nude-Look' and as soon as I wear a darker color I think I look like a clown.

However, last time I found a Lipgloss that looked purple but not too much, though. Of course I had to get it! I'm talking about the LUCIDarling Fantastic Rouge Gloss in #7 Soft Mauve by [ETUDE HOUSE].

You can get the following colors:

- #1 Party Red

- #2 Orange Punch

- #3 1000 Pixel Milky Pink

- #4 Candy Pink

- #5 1000 Pixel Coral

- #6 Skin Brown

- #7 Soft Mauve

- #8 Wine Cocktail

- #9 Golden Volume

Description: Makeup Line Promotes LED (Light Emitting Diode) Color, Radiance and Clarity to Makeup Expression. Liquid lipstick formulated with LED Pixel Pigment for brilliant expression and shine.

It comes in a nice packaging! It looks metallic silver with pink/ violet shades. Actually, not very easy to describe.

The translucent bottle contains 4.5g and got a dark lid with a sponge applicator. The applicator is flexible and called 'hybrid tip'.

#7 Soft Mauve is a medium-dark pink with a hint of voilet and some fine purple shimmer.

The coverage is quite good for a lip gloss but it feels a little bit sticky. The gloss also doesn't have a very strong scent.

This color isn't bad even though it's not as purple as I wished it would be. Maybe I should just get one of those purple lipglosses from the 'Roll Roll Gloss' line.

Did you guys try a purple/ violet lipstick or gloss? What you think about these colors??

How to use: Use hybrid tip to gather and apply liquid lipstick evenly to lips.

Price: around 8,- €/ US$10.50
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)  

What I love:  

There is nothing I really love.

What I don’t like:  

There is nothing i don't like.

Will I buy this again? No, it's still not as purple as I wished it would be. So, I would try another gloss instead.
