First Impressions
The first two etude products I've ever owned was the #OR202 and #BR402. It was given to me as a Christmas present and at that time, I wasn't really interested into Korean beauty products. As I started getting interested into their products, Etude House was my go to brand. The two colors that I had intrigued me because the #BR402 showed up really well as a color contrast on my dark under toned-skin and the #OR202 was my favorite because it had that coral-peachy color that I always like. The shimmers on the #OR202 was very subtle, which amazed me because by looking at it, you'd be surprise that it showed up so lightly. After a few months, I ordered the #BE105 through Tester because it was the kind of color that seemed like I would use in my inner tear line. Koreans are all about the doe-eyed look with a bright shimmer on their inner tear line to show a gentle and friendly look, and I just looove that look! I also knew that it'd blend quite well with my #BR402 with the dark to bright contrast. Then I ordered the the #RD302 because I wanted a unique color that can go for a rose-like effect, something that isn't common among my collection of eye shadows.
Texture/Pigmentation
#RD302 - The texture is between smooth and rough because you can feel the glittery product as you run your finger through the product. It comes onto your finger/brush as a creamy shadow, so don't worry about grittiness or uneven texture. The pigmentation on this product is rather strong and appears on dark under toned-skin as a hot pink mixed with a little of fruit punch-red in it. This type of eye shadow would be the glitter because you can see the sparkles as it reflects off from the light shining on it. It's not a shimmer because it's rather more of a glitter than in between glitter and matte.

#OR202
#BR402 - Wow, the texture for this one is the best. It is so smooth and creamy. With one swipe across the small shadow canvas, you get a handful of product on your finger/brush! The reason why this product comes on so easily and smoothly is because it's a matte shadow with a tint of a metallic gold-brown shimmer. If you reveal the applied shadow to sunlight, the bronze shimmer would give off a bright copper effect that makes your eyes look warm and pop! This shadow is a duo copper and a warm brown so it really brings out any eye colors out there. It gives off a mature look along with a natural color instead of a flashy one but yet still fun because of it's subtle shimmer.

Pros
These products are absolutely my favorite eye shadows from all of Korea's branded eye shadows! They cover all types of looks and never fail to make your eyes pop. There are so many to pick from and it's so hard not to drain your money away when you're shopping for them. These products are really light and easily transportable, the product is really pigmented, it applies on really easily, and they are fun colors to wear out too! For the #RD302, it's a really nice color to wear on dates at night and especially for valentines day! You can just easily fall into the themes of events and holidays with this bright and poppy color, it compliments a lot of romance themes too! As for the #OR202, I'd consider it as an any day look because it freshens your look with its coral complexions. Especially in spring, it makes your eyes pop and clears away any redness you'd gain around your eyes from all of the allergies and pollen. With the shimmer dancing around your eyes, no one will notice that you're suffering from the terrible spring affects at all! Even without the coverage, it still comes in handy because spring is all about the bright glowing colors with it's blooming flowers which is the #OR202 shadow! As for the bronze #BR402, you'd have your warm, sultry fall look ready with just one shadow! Of course you can blend it with others to have a two toned warm look but even with one, this just exaggerates your look to a whole new look. The copper brown is given a matte look which makes your desired look very mature and friendly at the same time! It's great for both day and night because during the day, the sun shining down would bring out your warmth and at night, it'd give you a spicy/mature-sexy fierce look! The #BE105 is just an overall shimmer pearl shadow that can be used anywhere and anytime! I like to use it every day because I always tend to wake up on the wrong side of the bed and my over night gaming does not help my dark circles at all. This product makes me go "what are dark circles??" because they literally hide my dark complexion and brighten up my look immediately!
Cons
The only con about these eye shadows would be the container and how the little metal tray is not glued down tightly to the plastic container of the product. It just sways back and forth on the plastic tray because the glue is loose, but its not like it has fallen out or anything on me.
Ratings
5 out of 5! I really really really adore this product because of it's young and fun features that it has to offer me. The loose glue is barely a problem for me but it shows that the product isn't 100% secured. Until it falls out then drops on the ground and cracks, then I'll have a problem but until then...I love it. I also hope to expand my collection of these eye shadows too because they're my favorite type and they're super inexpensive too. Etude House's eye shadows are probably one of the most inexpensive eye shadows out there but still contain amazing qualities in them. They're easy to apply onto your lids, with an eye shadow brush or the warmth of your finger can melt down the product and have it easily spread across your lids for your popping look! If it wasn't for these eye shadows that were given to me, I would probably not be as interested into Etude House or let alone Korean products. I'm still hoping and wishing for Etude House to expand more of their color options for 2016 and let me enjoy myself to another shopping spree! I'll be waiting, Etude House! I've also swiped at these shadows a lot for swatches and just for usage and the product is still almost unused. I love how there is the heart pattern on the eye shadow and a little lace/swirl design on the outside of the case! These types of designs attract me and only make them more irresistible!
