[ETUDE HOUSE] Nymph AURA Boosting Primer

Together with the Nymph AURA Volumer I purchased the Nymph AURA Boosting Primer from [ETUDE HOUSE]. I would recommend these products rather for normal or dull skin. I got oily skin and I don't think these products are very good for me. They aren't bad but I prefer a more matte finish.

Btw, they released some new products now: a Volumer Mist and the Volumer in #3 Transparent Water Aura.

Description: Makeup primer, specially formulated for glowing skin expression with balancing moisture level, supplies sheer, thin layer of dewy and plumped up skin. 

Whitening Effect + Wrinkle Improvement + SPF25/PA++

The packaging has the same design as the Volumer. The Boosting Primer comes in a very light violet/ silver tube with a twist-off lid. The tube contains 30g!

You just need to squeeze a proper amount out of the tube and spread it over your face.

Some ingredients are Water, Zinc Oxide, Aluminum Hydroxide, Adenosine, Xanthan Gum, Caprylyl Glycol and other 'chemicals'.

The primer has a Peach Pink Tone and a lotion-like consistency. It's easy to spread over my face and brightens up my skin tone. My face looks brighter but also a bit pinkish afterwards. 

My skin looks more glowing but not too much. That's good and I prefer to use just the Boosting Primer under my BB Cream without the Volumer.

The scent is very nice as well. I like it!!

I use this primer just every once in a while coz it has no oil control which makes in not the right product for oily skin. But it brightens up my skin tone and gives me a more dewy look.

How to use: Apply primer to all over the face. With gently patting, let it melt on skin thoroughly. 

Price: around 15,- €/ US$20  
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL)  

What I love: 
Nothing except for the scent and the 'dewy' look.

What I don’t like:  

It's not the perfect product for oily skin.

Will I buy this again? No, I won't!

[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

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.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Nymph AURA Volumer *Pure Nymph Aura & Brilliant Pearl Aura*

When I saw that [ETUDE HOUSE] released the product line called Nymph AURA I had to get something of it even though I wasn't sure if it would be the right product line for my kinda oily skin. Nevertheless I purchased the Boosting Primer and the Volumer. I review now the latter!

I got #1 Pure Nymph Aura as full size and #2 Brilliant Pearl Aura as samples. 

Description: Makeup Multi-Cream maximizing the radiance and dewy glow on skin, completing flawless skin with plumped up moisture.

The packaging is light purple with the description in Korean and English. 

The Volumer comes in a small pump bottle which looks pearl white with a violet pump and lid. The bottle contains 25g!

#1 Pure Nymph Aura has a slightly liquid consistency - similar to a serum or essence. It looks a bit pinkish/ red and feels kinda oily. The color isn't really visible after spreading it on my skin. 

It's slightly scented as well.

This Volumer contains Macadamia Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, Hyaluronic Acid and more.

#2 Brilliant Pearl Aura has the same consistency as #1 but doesn't feel that oily. 

It has a pearl pink color.

Just the Volumers (pic above) and mixed with BB cream (pic below):

You can see that #1 gives the BB Cream a more glowing/ wet look, while #2 seems to brighten up the BB Cream and gives a pearl shimmer. I didn't use a lot of BB Cream for the pics, though.

To be honest, I don't use the Volumer often coz I don't like to look so glowing. I got oily skin which makes me look shiny enough. So, if you also prefer the matte look I don't recommend to use this product.

But for using it just as a highlighter it's sure nice!

How to use: Apply evenly on skin with 1:3 mix of BB cream or foundation. Use foundation brush or BB brush to get perfect blending. When used for highlighting, apply on the nose, forehead and cheekbones with the Volumer alone.

Price (Full Size): around 18,- €/ US$23

What I love: 
There is nothing I really love.

What I don’t like:  

It feels oily somehow. Not very good for oily skin!

Will I buy this again? No, not the Volumer anyway.
