[ETUDE HOUSE] Golden Ratio Contour Maker *Pink*

If you wonder why I sometimes write two reviews on one day, it's mainly because I start to move in a new apartment in May and I will be very busy. Because of that, I'm not sure if or when I will write reviews again. So, I try to write as many reviews as possible before May!

The second review for today is about the Golden Ratio Contour Maker in #02 Pink (Venus Angle). This 3in1 product from [ETUDE HOUSE] contains Highlighter, Blusher and Shading. You can get it in #01 Gold (Gold Angle) as well.

The other products available in the Golden Ratio line are:

- Face Glam (Gold, Pink)

- Tear Drop Powder (Gold, Brown, Khaki, Grey)

Description: Golden Ration aesthetic makeup line.

This multi-shade pressed powder supplies highlighting, shading and blusher tones.

The Contour Maker comes in a square container which is brown with golden shimmer.

It might be that the container came in another packaging as well but I can't remember and if so, I threw it away.

The square container includes a mirror, a small brush and contains 10g.

#02 Pink (Venus Angle) consists of the following color shades:

A) Highlighter: A very bright pink shade, could be a skin beige as well.

B) Blusher: A peachy pink!

C) Shading: A light-medium brown shade.

All three (3) colors contain gold shimmer!  

The product also says that it contains a Sebum Control Powder.

So, how to use this multi-shade pressed powder??

Apply A) Highlighter with the brush to your T-Zone and under your eyes.

Then B) Blusher to your cheek bones. It's better when you use a bigger brush for that.

C) Shading you can apply along hairline and jaw line. I use it at my nose area to let these appear 'thinner', too.

I have to say that I don't use this Contour Maker a lot. I tried it out when I took some pics of myself but I didn't liked it much at that time. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice product but I used too much (especially of the highlighter) and my face looked too shimmering.

If I wear it outside I would use much less and then it sure looks more nice!

Price: around 14,- €/ US$18 

Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)   

What I love:  

There is nothing I really love yet!

What I don’t like: 

It contains too much golden shimmer! I look weird when I use too much of it (especially of the highlighter).

Will I buy this again? No, I won't! I would get another highlighter, though.

[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!

The Moon Crystal Power Gloss *Purple Holy Beam* compared with the LUCIDarling Fantastic Rouge Gloss *Soft Mauve*:

Price: around 6,50,- €/ US$8.50 

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!

[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.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Wannabe Perfumed Syrup Nails

The other nail polish set I purchased together with the 'Choco Smoky Nail Kit' is the Wannabe Perfumed Syrup Nails. It's from the same product line as the Lipgloss and Style Making Kit from [ETUDE HOUSE]. The illustration on the packaging is again by Annika Wester!

Description: Nail kit comes with base and top coats for multi-colored expression.

The packaging design is very cute and girly again. It's kept in white and pink colors. On the back you see a illustration of how to apply the 3 nail polishs.

Each translucent bottle contains 7g and comes with a dark purple lid.

The colors from left to right:

#1 Base (Glam Pearl): A shimmering silver nail polish with some silver glitter inside.

Apply the base coat to nails, covering entire nail surface.

#2 Middle Coat (Sparkling Silver): A rather clear nail polish with lots of silver shimmer and some bigger glitter particles.

Allow the base coat to partly dry and then apply the middle coat from the mid-nail line to the tip.

#3 Top Coat (Bling Bling Rose): A pink color full with silver shimmer and glitter.

Let #1 & #2 completely dry and then apply the top coat to the nail tips.

 I was wondering why this nail kit is called 'Perfumed Syrup Nails' coz in the bottles it smells like every other nail polish and that gives me easily a headache.

But after applying it to my nails I found it out: It started to smell a bit like roses.

I tried to apply it to show you some examples: 

I like this nail kit! The colors are very nice and not as dark as from the [SKINFOOD] 'Choco Smoky Nail Kit'.

Price: around 9,- €/ US$11.50 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)    

What I love:  

The colors and my nails smell slightly like roses afterwards.

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I dislike yet.

Will I buy this again? Not this one but there was a product line called 'Party Queen' available, too.
