Review : Etude House Color In Liquid Lips #OR205

Hi guys! I'm back today with another review for you guys! I'd like to spend just a moment to say...Thank you for supporting me throughout my blogging career! Even though it has only been a short while, I'm still glad you guys take your time to check out my reviews. I'd also like to welcome Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Venezuela to becoming a part of my viewing family! Today, I'll be reviewing a product from the one and only... Etude House! You guys might be wondering why I review all of Etude House's products, but its just because I just easily fall for their cute products. Their products are really inexpensive and they keep coming out with promotions and new products to intrigue me! I've recently received a trial kit from them too for their new line (Pink Vital Water) and after I am done testing it out, I'll let you guys know how it goes! Today's product that I'll be reviewing is the...
Etude House Color In Liquid Lips #OR205

First Impressions
This product gravitated my eyes towards it because of it's coral complexions. This was one of Krystal's Pick from 1 out of the 2 that she chose from in the selection. This product offered a wide variety of colors but I leaned to this one because it appeared to be the smoothest color and at the same time, most appealing. I really like the Korean-coral look so that's what I was thinking of when I ordered this product. This product was also on sale when I bought it (around $7).

Texture/PigmentationThe texture to this product was pretty thick and sticky. It was rather hard to spread the product than the Berry Delicious Color In Liquid Lips edition (I'm guessing because the Berry Delicious version was an upgrade of this version). The product was more lumpy than I expected it would be.. This was one of my first products that came in and I did not expect much, but after using it for 1-2 months, I realized that it is kind of thick for a "liquefied lipstick". The pigmentation for this product is super strong and bright. The color is a bright red-orange and a bit more than coral should appear as. The pigmentation would probably look better on brighter/lighter skin undertones because it stands out too much for people with dark skin undertones.

ProsThe tube that the product came in is super cute. I love the hearts and lip designs that goes around the tube. I love how the inside is in a clear container with the point sticking out like a normal lipstick (like the Berry Delicious Color In Liquid Lips). The product has a defined brush inside of it making it easier to apply and get every corner of your lips. Unlike the Berry Delicious Color In Liquid Lips, the lip applicator is not bent to a side, making it feel more stable. 

ConsUnfortunately, I had quite a handful of problems with this product. The color just stood out too much and it was past coral. The product's scent when used came on as a grape medicine scent then the after smell transformed into a papaya scent?? This product is also a huge drainer of moisturization from your lips. After applying the product, you can feel your lips start to get very dry within 5-10 minutes. The product is also very thick, making it hard to apply smoothly across your lips. It comes on as "clumpy" and uneven. Due to the dryness and thickness, the product will become super pigmented in one area then unpigmented in the other area, causing your lips to have a patchy pigmentation. Most of Etude House's lip products consider their user's skin tone but I feel like some of the colors in this product's selection did not consider it. Saying this, I'd have to say that it does not really work with people with dark skin undertones because it looks like a highlighter on us.
Ratings
2 out of 5. Due to some of the cons that I listed above, I feel like this would not be a product I recommend to you guys. But if you're okay with BRIGHT complexions and do not mind moisturizing your lips some how every other half hour then I would recommend this product to you. I just did not find it that great because it is dry and very uneven when applied. Maybe it's just me, but I've tried using this product many times and all of the times that I've used it, it came out with the same results. Not moisturized and very uneven. I wouldn't say Krystal's Pick is bad but I feel like it could work for some people and not so well for some others. I do love the packaging and pointed-tip applicator though! Hoping to give this product more chances!
