[ REVIEW ] ETUDE HOUSE – UV DOUBLE CUT CLEAR SUN STICK SPF 50+ PA++++

Sun screen seems to be one of the most important thing in our morning and day skin regime. But the common problems I, mostly, faced with every sun screen I’ve tried are the white cast and skin irritation, if the product couldn’t have a nice relationship with my sensitive skin.

To be honest, I eliminated all sun-face-care products that contain of high Titanium Dioxide because it tends to, or absolutely will, leave whitecast. I want to avoid that. I also opt to avoid every products which have high alcohol in their ingredients list. I know, I sound too picky but I really want a friendly product for my sensitive skin, though. So yeah, I paid the Etude House Clear Sun Stick as it seemed to be the best choice, especially when I read the ingredients. I have a high expectation from this product, so let’s see!

[ MAKEUP REVIEW ] ETUDE HOUSE DEAR MY WISH LIPS TALK #RD302 RUNAWAY BURGUNDY

Helllooooo prewttyy readers!!!

Soooo... today I’m going to share my experience using a lip product from Korean makeup brand. I don’t wanna talk too much about the brand since I bet you have known it already. Yass, it’s Etude House! You know lah!

Actually Etude has released this product about two years ago, it’s long enough yaa. And I bought this almost a year ago but haven’t opened it yet because I had lotta makeup and forgot about this one, hihihii... Mine is EH Dear My Wish Lips Talk in shade #RD302. It’s the darkest shade of their DMWLT collections.

Well, not waiting any longer, let’s start!

TUTORIAL : GOLDEN MOON MAKEUP LOOK

How are you guys?!

Today, I’m going to share you another makeup tutorial. Actually this is my makeup look when I celebrated Chinese New Year’s Eve. As we know, 2016 is a year of the Monkey, so this is a monkey’s makeup look, LOL. NO lah... I think this makeup look can be used for party or night makeup not only for CNY’s eve, though I used gold colored which is very identical for CNY celebration. Anyway, gold represents the prosperity and fortune in Chinese culture, also it is the lucky color for this year.  Well, actually gold colored makeup never die, so I decided to make this tutorial. I call it Golden Moon makeup look#cough...

I must stop bla bla blaa... Let’s start!

FACE :

I should give my skin more moistness since it’s getting colder during this rainy days. I keep the cotton pads soaked with toner on my face, especially on both of my cheeks. It helps me a lot to moisten my skin.

Apply concealer to brighten eyebags and cover up blemishes. Next is using foundation or BB cream. Here, I’m using my Laneige BB Chusion. Gently pat it to the entire of your face and don’t forget your neck too. I finish it with translucent loose powder.

To add sparkling look, I use glittery powder as highlight, focus on my cheekbones.

EYES :

As I mentioned before, I use golden eyeshadow on the whole eyelids and outer ½ of bottom lash line. Apply it lightly. Then draw a thick eye cat using brown eyeliner. I secondly apply the shimmering gold eyeshadow, thicker on the center of eyelid. For the eyeliner to stick out, re-apply a gel liner on the outer rim of the eye and as long as your under waterline. Draw straight line on the outer of your lower lash line using the same brown eyeliner. Give a highlight effect to the eye by applying pearly eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eye.

Draw your eyebrow following your natural eyebrow shape. Then apply brown eyebrow mascara. I like to use lighter eyebrow color than my hair color. Today I chose brown redish color.

I’m going to add bling bling to the fake lashes. Here’s the tip :

Put a thin layer of glue on the fake lashes (you can use a clear eyelashes glue). Then scatter glitter or sparkling eyeshadow powder over it and shake it off. Taadaa! Bling bling eyelashes is ready to used.

Use your bling bling eye lashes carefully and curl it together with your natural eyelashes. Apply mascara. Done.

LIPS :

Since I want my eye makeup to pop out, I chose a soft color lipstick. I used Innisfree Cream Mellow No. 3. It has cream coral color and creamy texture. Complete the lip makeup with clear or soft pink lipgloss.

For finishing touch, use a pink cream blusher on your apple cheeks. You can also use your lipstick as your blusher as well by dabbing it on your cheeks.

Your makeup is done! Yes, it’s so simple, right?

I let my hair apart and brought it to the one side. For cute look, I used a flower hairpin. And yeah, I still used Cheongsam although it’s not a CNY’s day anymore, hahahaa.

Products I used:

Face:

Skinfood Rice Concealer Tip

Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control

Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

Etude Lovely Cookie Blusher - #2 Strawberry Choux

Eyes:

QL Eyeshadow

Dolly Wink Liquid Liner Brown

REVIEW : ETUDE HOUSE TEAR DROP LINER (#1 WHITE TEAR)

Source: Google

I like big eyes. I think that’s cute and so dolly. As an Asian, my eyes aren’t that big (T.T so sad)

But really thanks to the makeup revolution for finding a gorgeous thing called tear eyeliner or under eyeliner, tehee..

This is a thing that will help you to get bigger,fresh, cute or bling bling eyes if it has glitter formula. Many Korean Idols wear it too to get their fresh and cute look.

I found that a lot of Korean Makeup Brands have their own tear eyeliner products. It could be liquid, pencil or powder type. No matter how, it certainly my favorite stuff to get a bigger eyes.

I have some of under eyeliner products, but today I’m gonna share my review for Etude House Tear Drop Liner No.1 in White Tear (because these last days, I really like bling bling eyes look ;*)

Let’s move on, girls...

Honestly, Etude House is a first Korean Makeup Brand that I’ve known. I always fall in love with their products in the first sight just because of their package and concept. I think I’m an easy girl, LOL

Sorry if the printed label on the bottle's already gone >.<

Like other Etude products, this Tear Drop Liner comes in a cutie bottle package. The bottle is made from plastic with long cap and clear body which makes us know the contents of the product left easily. The long cap is also useful because it helps us apply the tear drop liner easily.

Next about the brush. I have know idea about that. I think it’s not like any other eyeliner brushes. This one is like rubber. For me, it’s too chewy. LOL

But since the tip of the brush is sharp, we can still apply the product neatly and easily. So don’t worry la..

One of my excuses bought this tear eyeliner is the glittery contents. I think it will be perfect to be used for night or party makeup. Well ya, as my expectation this product is sparkling. It’s transparent white and full of bling bling glitters. I think it will be too much when used for day makeup, especially if you are into a natural makeup lover.

Here’s the swatch...

can you see the pretty glitters?

Since it’s a liquid product, the consistency of itself is watery of course. Maybe it makes the product pretty hard to be dried. I need about 5 minutes to make it dry perfectly. But I really like its cool sensation once I apply it on my skin.

Btw, I have a problem everytime I apply it on my under eyes. It’s because the under eyelashes of mine. Everytime I draw a line, the product will get stuck on my under lashes and leave some white dots there, blahh... so must be careful when applying it. LOL

I thought that the glitter of this product will be too much for daily use, but maybe I was wrong. Because when it’s applied, the glitter is not like when you watch Kpop Idols in their show. A thing you should do is controlling how much you sweep the product on your eyes. Don’t use it too bold then the bling bling effect won’t appear too much. A sheer applying will make your eyes look cute and fresh. The bold one will make you look like an adorable Idol. Hahaa..

I was wondering about the staying power. Since I need extra time to wait until the tear drop liner dries up perfectly, I have a high expectation that it will be long last. Unlucky me, it won’t. Mehh...T.T  It just stays for about 3-4 hours when I was using it.

I know I shouldn’t have a high expectation about waterproof nor smudgeproof power from this under eyeliner because the product itself doesn’t claim that on the package. And because I have oily skin, I believe it makes the product doesn’t stay much longer. But still, I gave it a rub test. And here’s the result...

After rubbed, the white liner fades away easily meanwhile the glitters get spread and leaves sparkling traces widely. Now, bling bling is everywhere. But I don’t worry too much since I won’t rub it when using it on my eyes. But still the residue of it on my eyes is a little bit annoying. Some of the residue is  somewhat clumpy instead.

Back then to its price which is pretty cheap, I think it could be a recommended product for daily use and for the beginners who wanna try under liner makeup.

I give it 3.5 stars of 5. Out of the less in staying power, I really love the transparent white color with its bling bling glitters. Very pretty. I use it everytime I want a cute and fresh look like Ulzzang.

Here are some FOTD using Etude House Tear Drop Liner No.1 in White Tear. The color of the product may be not shown well because of the lighting. But in real, I’m sure it looks so fresh.

What I Like :

- Affordable

- Makes my eyes look fresh and cute instantly

- Bling bling effects

- Cute packaging

What I Dislike :

- Less staying power

- Clumpy residue

- Too much glitters if used too bold (case : in day makeup)

Have you tried this product too? Or do you have any other favorite under eyeliner makeup?

Kindly share that on the comment box bellow lovelies. I do like to read that.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog. Can’t wait to see you again in my next post. Cheers!
