[ETUDE HOUSE] Dear My *Blooming Lips-talk, Crystal Gloss & Milky Gloss*

[ETUDE HOUSE] newest make-up line is called Dear My and contains lipsticks, lip glosses, nail polishes, blusher and compact powders. I just got two lip glosses and a lipstick for now which I will all review now.
This product line is endorsed by SHINee and Sandara Park (2NE1)!!

You can watch the Trailer for the lipsticks here:

It was hard to decide for a color since I can't do swatches when order online but I got the following ones:

Dear My Blooming Lips-talk *OR204 Shy Coral*:
Description: Smooth textured lipstick supplies vivid color and moist shine.

The Blooming Lips-talk lipstick comes in a very cute pinkish packaging with hearts and a crown print on it. The lipstick itself is housed in a pearl pink twist-up container and contains 3,4g.
I got OR204 Shy Coral coz I usually like coral-colored lipsticks and this one shall be one of the 'Hot Colors' as well. You can choose from 24 lovely colors what makes it hard to decide. They got coral, orange, pink, red and brown shades!
Some informations about the lipstick:
Smooth texture and outstanding color of creamy gel texture makes clean and vivid lips.
Relaxed Fitting Complex & Smooth Powder System makes smooth lips without crack.
Moist Liquid Paste and Hydro-Moist Complex makes moist and kissable lips.
The lipstick itself got a heart print, too!
The Blooming Lips-talk lipstick is creamy and gives my lips a slightly glossy finish. The color is buildable in layers! I prefer to use just 1-2 layers, otherwise the color is too bold for my taste. The color is rather opaque, too!
 1-2 layers (pic above) and 3-5 layers (pic below):
How to use: Twist to dispense makeup and apply evenly to lips.

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

What I love:  
The design, the rest is nothing special for me.  

What I don’t like: 
The color is too bold for my taste. Prefer a more sheer lipstick.

Will I buy this again? No, I won't! Would try out other lipsticks instead.


Dear My Crystal Gloss *COR201 Dazzling Coral*:
Description: Lip Gloss with shimmering & sparkling glitter!

Like most of the glosses from [ETUDE HOUSE] this one comes in a translucent bottle and contains 4.5g. Attached to the twist-off lid is the sponge applicator which is not really flexible.
COR201 Dazzling Coral is a nice color as well but looks more 'orange' as the the coral lipstick.
It contains some nice shimmer, has a fruity scent and doesn't feel sticky.
The Crystal Gloss is available in 8 different colors.
How to use: Apply appropriate amount to your lips with tip. 


Dear My Milky Gloss *MBE101 Chocolate Latte*:
Description: Lip Gloss with Mild & Lovely colors!

The glosses are also available as Milky Gloss without any glitter/ shimmer and 8 colors.
It comes in the same bottle as the Crystal Gloss with 4.5g as well.
I purchased the milky gloss in MBE101 Chocolate Latte coz I love chocolate and the color looked so nice. It's a milky beige with a hint of pink in it. Somehow it fits my natural lip color quite well. Perfect for the nude-look!!
The gloss is rather sheer but I like that! 

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

What I love:  
The colors are rather sheer what I like! 

What I don’t like: 
Nothing yet except for the scent. Reminds me of the Peach All-in-one Peeling Gel.

Will I buy this again? Maybe another color!

[baviphat] PAPRIKA PORE SOLUTION *TIGHTENING SLEEPING PACK*

I just own two full size sleeping masks because I prefer to use my face creams, lotions etc. which fight troubles better over night. That doesn't mean I don't like sleeping masks - I do!! And the first one I got 2011 was from [baviphat]: the PAPRIKA PORE SOLUTION TIGHTENING SLEEPING PACK. I reviewed the EMULSION from the same line here.
[baviphat] sells three (3) different product lines containing Paprika Extract:
Yellow line (PORE SOLUTION)
Red line (TROUBLE OUT)
Green line (WATER UP)

I got the TROUBLE OUT JELLY CREAM (Red line) before, too, which I liked but I can't review it anymore coz I finished it some month ago.

Description: Fresh Sleeping Pack that makes a moist and smooth skin texture by controlling sebum and improving rough pores.
Pore Tightening Effect + Moisturizing Effect + Sebum Control
The container contains 65g and looks like a yellow paprika/ capsicum. The whole product line got this design just always in another color. I like that!! It always looks so cute!
The SLEEPING PACK got a second cover and a small spoon underneath the lid.
With the included spoon it's very easy to take out the product. It's also more hygienic coz you don't need to dip your fingers in.
The consistency of the SLEEPING PACK is creamy but feels super moisturizing at the same time. The color is yellowish-white and has a pleasant smell. It smells like grapefruits but somehow a bit sweeter.
The two (2) main ingredients in this SLEEPING PACK are:
Paprika Extract: Controls Clean Skin Tone, Skin Protection, Elasticity
Grapefruit Extract: Sebum Control, Pore Tightening Effect
When I apply the pack to my face (before sleeping) it feels super moisturizing. It takes a few minutes to get absorbed but when it's dry my skin is very soft, too. In the next morning my skin looks and feels less oily, pores seem to be slightly smaller as well.
Unfortunately, these effects only last until I washed the pack off. Then my skin starts to get oily again etc. Still, it's a nice product and might give you better results when you use it 1~2 times a week.
The SLEEPING PACK together with the EMULSION:

How to use: Evenly apply suitable amount onto the face before sleeping and wash off with warm water in the next morning.

Price: around 11,- €/ US$14.50
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL)  

What I love: 
The cute design and moisturizing effect. 

What I don’t like: 
The effects last only till I washed it off. 

Will I buy this again? No, I won't! I use Sleeping Pack's too seldom and would like to try out other ones first.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Lip Perfume Breath Mist *Grape Fruits*

Since I work most of the time as a SA (shop assistant) and need to talk to customers, I'm always a bit concerned about my breath. Therefore, I purchased with my last order the small Lip Perfume Breath Mist from [ETUDE HOUSE]. I got #2 Grape Fruits, the other flavors available are #1 Peach and #3 Apple.

Description: Oral care mouth spray desinfects and freshens breath with fruit flavor.
The spray is kinda small and thin and should fit in almost every pocket or bag. It comes in a translucent bottle with a pinkish-orange spray pump. The bottle contains 7ml!
The spray is colorless and alcohol free! #2 Grape Fruits smells like grapefruit and tastes like those strong cough drops I take when my throat hurts. It's not a bad item but the effect doesn't last too long when I use just one (1) pump.
How to use: Spray mist into mouth for breath freshening. 

Price: around 5,50,- €/ US$7 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)  

What I love: 
The small size and it freshens my breath for a short time.

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I dislike yet!! 

Will I buy this again? No, I don't think so!
