Etude House Minnie Touch Blusher, Minnie Touch Highlighter, Kissing Minnie Lips Lipstick in #02 Bubble Pink
I am on make up diet… i have way too much make up in my
drawers, I need to stop buying them. But… how can I say no to Minnie Mouse…
Etude House, I blame you!
Of the complete Minnie Mouse x Etude House collection from2013, I decided to grab the highlighter, blusher, lipstick, few nail polishes
and the loose glitter for nails.
For packaging, picture is worth 1000 words… there goes…
Look at that cute Minnie shaped design! The pan is made of
matte plastic, but it feels quite sturdy.
The highlighter contains 3 colors: light lavender, warm
beige and pale pink pastel. All with lovely iridescent glow when applied. I cant
seem to capture the subtle color difference between all three on my hand
swatch, but trust me, the difference is there. It feels soft and lovely when
applied, you don’t have to dig with your brush to get colors. When applied, it doesn’t
make my face look oily, just add nice glow on my morning skin.
In similar fashion with the highlighter, the blusher has 3
colors: pink, peach and light lavender. The texture is similar with the
highlighter… soft, don’t dig too much with your brush. This one is matte and
very sheer. I am not going to use this as blush; this is more suitable as all
over face color when my skin feels particularly pale and colorless. Doesn’t appear
chalky when applied.
Now, the lippie in #02 Bubble Pink. Polkadot tube with matte
finish… love! The color… even better…. Lovely creamy MLBB pink that’s creamy
and easy to apply. No tugging, just nice slip. It gives me medium coverage,
lasts for about 3 hours on me. After that, I got a nice stain left behind. Just
like the highlighter and blush, it has no fragrance.
I’m not going to review the nail polish here… one one note: don’t
expect coverage from the glitter as it is meant to be used as top coat, giving
your nail splash of polkadots and Mickey faces. It is kinda hard to get the
mickey faces, so when I used it, I ‘fish’ them with toothpick…
Bottomline…
Cute design aside, I am adoring the highlighter but don’t care
about the blush, since the blush is so sheer. The lipstick is lovely,
especially when I want to just perk up my lip color.

Etude House Color Pop Shine Tint in 09 Wonder Pop Bling in The Sea
I am not denying it … I am in love with glossy stains the
moment I tried YSL’s original version. And I bet the Koreans agree with me….
Look at the variations each brand seems to be churning this summer… from Etude
House to Innisfree … all offers you varieties of colors!
The Color POP starts as pre fall collection from Etude House
encompassing variations of oranges and tangerine colors (review here). Now, I am thrilled to know that they come in variety of pinks! How I love pinks! This baby I picked, belong to Bling in The Sea Summer 2013 launch
As the previous Color POP Shine Tint, the plastic bottle is
white in color. It has heart shaped applicator for precise application. I have
no complaints against this, as the application takes enough product each time.
09 Wonder Pop is lovely bright and glossy fuschia pink… the
type of color which will brighten up my face the moment I apply it! I am loving
it. Pigmentation is lovely… it wont apply as creamy as it appears in the tube,
but by no means the pigment is diluted.
When applied directly, on lips it appears super bright. To
get more office friendly subtler color, I apply it with my fingers. Yes… it
results in pink finger tips… but the I am loving the color on my lips when
applied like this. This lip swatch below is made with fingertips application.
The glossiness stays up to lunch time on me… and I drink
lots of tea in between! After lunch, the glossiness is gone and the stain
appears faded, but for those loving subtler color, I do think you don’t have to
re-apply, as the color faded evenly.
The color is no doubt super staining. The right most hand
swatch shows the pigment left after I wiped out the product of my skin only
after leaving it here for approximately 10 minutes. It certainly stains fast.
Unlike YSL or L’oreal version, I don’t find the color of
this Shine Tint to develop over time. It stays the same if not fading as time
goes by. On me, this baby stays glossy until lunch time. Glossiness went away
after lunch, but the tint is still there, albeit faded. It doesn’t feel dry or
moisturizing either.
Bottomline,
Vibrant color and gloss is what you will get from this baby!
It is pretty neutral to my lips (not drying or not moisturizing).

Etude House Proof 10 Bling Eye Stick in 5 BL801 Bling Wave
Since I saw the advert in Etude House website, I am itching
to try one of these Bling Eye stick myself. The name itself sounds fun… and the
color looks super interesting! This Eye Stick is part of Etude’s 2013 Summer release Bling in the Sea.
These pencil shadows / highlighter is currently available in
5 colors. All appears white, but when applied nuance of colors will appear.
Super interesting… Etude recommends to use this as lower lash liner for outer
part of your eyes. But I also see its use as highlight for eye lids shadow, to
be applied in the middle of the lids to make more 3D eyes.
I am loving the packaging color of Bling in the Sea series.
This pastel seafoam blue is simply irresistible… making me want to head to the
nearest beach (or at least pool) and have my own little holiday! The pencil is
twist up, no sharpening… yay!
The color…. As you can see… it is nearly white on the
pencil, but it becomes clear with hint of glistening color when applied. Bling
Wave BL801 is cool purple-bluish in color. There is very very little white or
milky pigmentation… it is mostly pretty sheen of shimmering color. Unless you
are applying loads of it, like the swatch I made on my hand, I don’t think you
will get the whitish cast.
This pencil is creamy, you only need a single swipe to get
the shimmery colors. It takes a while to set, this gives plenty of time to
blend and work with the color. My lids and eye area is super oily, hence only
the most bulletproof eyeliners and shadows will stay put (hey… MAC Aqualiners
and UD shadow pencil!!!)… this one, clearly don’t fit the bill. It travels a
little, and I can remove it easily with wipe of my bare fingers after lunch…
again, thanks to my oily lids. Thankfully the shimmer doesn’t travel or fall on
my cheeks.
Bottomline,
I’ve enjoyed playing with it as accent color… it makes my
eyes appear brighter, thanks to the bluish cast. Applied on eyelids, it makes
eye make up look more 3D too. Longevity wise, it is not one to count on. Thankfully,
the simmer doesn’t travel or fall on my cheeks. Removal is super easy.

Innisfree Shadow Pencil in 6 Sour Citrus Fruit
Im not a big fan of pencil shadow… I found most pencil
shadow crease on me by lunchtime. Unless… you have an adorable cockatoo like
this one promoting the pencil like this one… too bad, she only comes as a seal sticker between the pencil and cap... gotta peel her off to use the pencil ....
Innisfree is promoting this line of pencil shadows and eye liners
for summer 2013. All cheerful colors and waterproof too! Designed for quick,
easy make up with creamy texture.
Of the colorful and neutrals offering, I picked apricot
colored shadow in 6 Sour Citrus Fruit. The shadow is almost metallic pastel
apricot. If you blend it too much, it will appear as shimmer… kinda reminds me
of Nars Orgasm, but much more metallic and more warm.
The chubby pencil is not that smooshy, yet still easy to
work with. Single swipe will give you sufficient pigment. The shadow is creamy
enough for easy breezy blending before it sets. It takes quite a while to set,
providing ample time to mix colors.
(Innisfree Shadow Pencil & Etude House Eyeliner swatches)
As for the longevity… well… nothing can beat my favorite
Urban Decay Shadow Pencil… the color begins to fade after lunch. I find it last
longer when I set it with similar colored powder shadow… but this is totally
beside the aim of being quick, easy make up.
Bottomline…
Good range of colors, lovely & easy to use texture. Too bad
it faded too easily on my oily lids.

Etude House Color Pop Drawing Show Creamy Pencil in GR 701
Not that i need another green eyeliner... But, looking at the whole color collection from Etude's 2013 summer launch, i just have to own this one!
Just look at the whole Color POP eyeliner color selection! Seems like that pretty bright yellow, nice purple and wonderful coral are calling me too!
Just like many pencil eye liners today, this liner is not made of wood... i am loving plastic eyeliners for their simplicity and safety during sharpening (wood splinter anyone...)
GR 701 is pastel bright mint green. To my surprise, this baby is matte! There's super tiny, almost invisible shimmer in it, but when applied, it is pretty much glowing matte. The fact that it is matte, makes the color pops more when i am wearing it.
The texture is creamy an easy to apply. No tugging and pulling. It is opaque and strong in one swipe.
Once it sets, this baby stays put. The color didn't fade or move with the day. All in all, this is beyond my expectation! It stays put on my oily lids. after a long day, it is easily removed with simple facial wash. however, in dryer skin area (when i played with it on the back of my hand), it is not as easily removed with simple soap.
Bottomline,
Waterproof and laden with pigment, this is the perfect eye liner for colorful, humid summer!
