Review : Etude House Tint My Brow Gel (#1 Brown)

Hellooo friends. I have a unique Korean product to introduce to you guys! I believe this product has been out for awhile now and I have had it for awhile but I never got the chance to do a review on it. This product is one of Korea's biggest beauty updates because it is some next level stuff you've never seen before! It's a product that works like a tattoo after being applied. I believe Etude House carries a non-tattoo version and this version of this product so that's something they upgraded on. I did not try the non-tattoo version of this brow product but definitely grew interest after hearing what this brow gel can do. Today's product that I'll be reviewing is the...
Etude House Tint My Brow Gel #1 Brown

First Impressions
When I first saw this product, it really amazed me. I actually did not believe there was such thing as a peeling brow gel but only expected a brow ink/pencil. I believe there is a lip tint version of this. This is the perfect item I had in mind when I was searching for a waterproof brow product. The reason why I need one is because I was gonna go on vacation and of course I'd go to the beach/get in the pool. It wouldn't make sense if I came down with brows but came up without them right?? Once I went to a water park and put on my brows, let me tell you.. they were on fleek, then after a man-made wave hit me, I lost my brows.. That's why I am aware that I need a waterproof one this time! I actually read/watched some reviews on this product too and from what I've seen, some people say they may pull your hairs out and some people say they do not. Taking the risk, I still ordered it because of it's uniqueness!

Texture/PigmentationThe texture to this product was pretty thick and sticky. When I lifted the product applicator out of the tube, there were thin strands of the product sticking around. The product was super thick and that made it quite hard to spread around. The pigmentation of the brow gel when it was still wet was pretty dark, it was like jet black. Like sharpie drawn on your brows. But after removing the dried product after 2 hours, the product came on as a natural color. I thought the pigmentation was quite strong even after the product became quite loose on my brows. It was like any natural brow but the pigmentation was quite uneven due to the prevention of spreading evenly.

ProsI really like this product and how it came off easily. I was really hoping it would not remove any brow hairs and it didn't! I really liked it's refreshing smell too, it smelled like soap. This product is quite unique and I like how it lasts for 3-5 days. I feel like this product was well worth it's $6 (in USD) because it can last awhile and when applied, it lasts over 48 hours. This product is over my expectations and I really enjoy the upgrade that Korea has decided to take the next step in beauty. I only expected a 12 hour waterproof brow product but I got a lot more than I wanted!
ConsI had some issues with this product like the application process. This product failed to spread evenly making the product look uneven and gritty after the process was finished. The stickiness and thickness played a huge role in the gritty and uneven texture because it was too hard to make it smoothly go across your desired areas. The brush was also not stiff enough to be defined, making it hard to shape your brow with the product. The accuracy of the brow was probably only 60-70% of what it could of been. 

Ratings

3 out of 5 for this product! This product had many ups and downs to it. I enjoyed the smell, length of time it lasted for and easy removal process. Once again, I was pretty surprised on how easy the product came off and how it did not remove any brow hairs in the process. I had two big problems that effected how I felt for the product overall. The first one would be the sticky texture/thickness, which made the after brows look very patchy and rough. Then the brush would also be very undefined, preventing me from getting my desired brow shape. I also think the product is not made for gradient fading affects at the front of the brow because you cannot use less product on one side, or at least it'd be very hard. As I use this product, I hope to find more satisfying features later on and during vacation!

Review : Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar

Hello friends! I have some good and bad news today for the product that I'll be reviewing. It is over one of my newest eye shadow palettes and unfortunately, it got slightly destroyed before I could even use/review it for you guys. I was carrying it around throughout the short school day to use after school then it slipped out of my hands and broke apart. It's another Etude House product and I believe there is 2 other versions of it but different themed (with different colors). I've actually wanted to get this item for quite a while but have not found the chance to until I made an order from the main site (Etude House). As sad as I am about the destroyed product, there is nothing I can do, but I tried to fix/clean it up a bit to show you guys and I'll provide pictures I found online of how it is supposed to originally look! Today's product that I'll be reviewing is the....
Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar

First Impressions
When I first saw this product, it was through Etude House's promotion. At first, it did not really compel me but after gaining interest into eye shadow, I definitely wanted to add it to my collection. The colors seemed very vibrant, perfect for the opening of summer. I really liked the varieties of orange that it offered because I noticed, a lot of Koreans use orange colors to work as their natural look. I also watched a couple of unboxing/reviews of this product on YouTube and the palette seemed very cute with it's packaging and very slim, making it very transportable. I really liked the theme of the palette and feel like it gave off a refreshing and fruity theme, which made it look more appealing!

Texture/Pigmentation
The first time I touched this product was when it was destroyed after dropping on the ground. I tried to repair it by putting back some of the pieces that cracked off the main layer. When doing this, the product seemed to be very soft, creamy, and delicate. It was very hard to compact this product together unlike the Aritaum mono eyes eye shadow that came in cracked (I previously did a review over this). The texture is very thin and delicate to the point where it is very hard and almost impossible to compact/suppress this product back together. Surprisingly, this product is very pigmented even though the material it is made out of is very thin. When I was gathering up the mess and trying to put it back together, a lot of the product would get on my hand and it'd become really pigmented even though I barely touched some parts of it. I would also test swatch some of it and the colors are really strong, vibrant and pigmented. Below, I will show you the names of each of the 10 colors!

My favorite would be the "Muscle Mania" because it has a fun metallic chromotone to it like a bronze/gold color. For me, I personally like using 3 types of colors on my eyes to make a light to dark contrast going from the inner part of my eye to the outer part of my eyes then lining the bottom with a bright shimmer to give it a friendly look. If anything, I'd use the "Soft Peach" on the inside, blend the middle with "Muscle Mania" then either end the outer part with "Orange Peel" or "Raw Cacao". I really like the orange colors too, and they're super pigmented. I have not tried all of them but so far, the ones I've used last pretty long. When I swatch, it is very hard for it to come off/smudge without any make up remover used.
Pros
The Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar definitely catches my eyes with its refreshing, summer colors. Each and every color does an excellent job in complimenting each other. There is surprisingly no color in the palette that does not match another color, in my opinion. I feel like the colors are all warm and light, which prevents your make up from looking heavy or tiring. The product is also very well pigmented along with long lasting. I must admit, it is very hard to wipe off the shimmer/glitters from some of them. I look at this as a benefit because it'll last longer throughout the day as you wear it. And as for the blending, it is very easy to apply and spread! It's texture is very smooth, making it easy to work with. The case/packaging/design is also very cute. I love how it has little orange slices adding it to make it more of a "Juice Bar" theme. The case is also very thin, making it light and easy to transport around.

Cons
Unfortunately, a con that this product has is that the texture is too thin. Having an eye shadow be too thin is not always a good thing because it is hard to compact or keep it together. After my palette dropped, the parts that seemed to be okay at first started to fall out. And when I tried to fix the broken areas, it was really hard to keep the compressed parts that I fixed together. Eventually, I had to give up on those parts and dispose it. These parts break out really easily because the product is very delicate. This delicate issue makes the product very messy if it is messed with at all.
Ratings4 out of 5 for the Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar. I really love this product and wish I did not mistreat it. I love the blending colors and variety it has to offer me. Etude House really did well with the color choices for a nice summer touch! They work well together and give you a refreshing/bright summer complexion. This palette is best for summer but some of the darker colors could pass for a sultry fall look and the light peach/coral colors could work for a popping spring look. I really like the metallic colors and the bright shimmers that some of these colors carry. The pigmentation is very strong and it is very long lasting. It's packaging is super cute and makes me want to buy the other Etude House Play Color Eyes palettes! The only problem I have with it is the breaking and mess that the eye shadow makes if it is messed with. The product is too thin, making it hard to take care of, which made me waste some of the product by having to throw it out. Besides that, I love everything about this product and hope to discover more great details about this product as I continue to use it! 

Review : Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint #OR201

Hi guys!!! I'm back and I've officially graduated from HS! Sorry for being a bit mia for a whole week but I had a bunch of senior activities and preparations I had to attend before graduation. It's been a long week but it was worth it! Today I am gonna talk about a lip tint product that I've been using daily and haven't switched out of for the past 3-4 months! I've used this lip tint for school, prom, graduation, whatever... you name it! Ever since I used this product, I have not been able to stop using it or switch to another lip product for a long time. It's from Etude House (of course) and I believe it's one of their oldest products, I am not surprised why they keep on producing it though! I personally think this is the best lip tint that Etude House carries! I've used about 3 out of 5 of their liquid lip tints and find this one the best! Today's product that I will be reviewing is the...
Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint #OR201

First Impressions
I personally did not choose this product out by myself but received it as a gift before I grew interest into Korean beauty products. This product actually came with some of the Etude House eye shadows that I did reviews on. This product did not intrigue me because in the gift that I received, there was also a jelly-type lip tint that overpowered it's appearance. Even though this product did not catch my eye at first, I knew I'd like it because of it's coral features. Once again, you know me and coral!!! When I first opened this product, I also thought it'd be super bright and neon-toned on my lips because of it's super bright pigmentation in the container.

Texture/PigmentationThis product is surprisingly well balanced between thick and thin. It is not too thin to the point where it is an oil lip tint and it is not too thick to the point where it is hard to spread. I like this kind of texture because it easily glides across your lips and spreads evenly, making the product last longer too! The pigmentation is quite strong for a non-jelly or non-oil lip tint. It's more on the creamy side but has a strong and long lasting pigmentation! The tint comes on as a pink-orange peach color that makes it not only coral but coral with a tint of hot pink in it! The vibrance of this color is very strong and fun, making it available to work with any color make up and not just coral make up!

ProsThe first thing I love about this product is it's color. It's color is beautiful, refreshing and fun! It's a pop of color and beautiful introduction to spring, it can work for any season too, so don't worry! I remember Bubzbeauty used a coral lipstick/lip tint for one of her beauty tutorials for her summer looks in 2014 and it worked beautifully with her blue eye liner! It's color really refreshes your look, even on tired days where you wear no make up, this lip product will brighten your complexion. It even smells amazing! I also adore it's cute potion-shaped container and how its light weighted. A good thing about this product's balance between thick and thin texture is that the balance allows the product to not dry your lips out. This product is quite moisturizing unlike other lip tints. I know oil lip tints tend to drain the moisture out of your lips, making it start to look very dry after an hour or so. This product is two-toned too, so you can see coral and hot pink, allowing yourself to have more of a matching variety. It's application tip is also very useful, not too pointy but defined enough to where you can get every spot on your lips!

ConsThe only thing that I wish this product would upgrade on is it's container. It is a cheap plastic container, preventing me from seeing how much of the product I have left.. It's not see-through and it makes it look a bit more downgraded as a product overall.

4.5 out of 5 for this product! From the color to the texture of this product, everything is great. The color is beautiful, the product is refreshing, the texture is very balanced. I love this product and have continuously used this product for the past 3-4 months. I've actually replaced one of Etude House's lip tint (Etude House Dear Darling Tint) for this lip tint and have not returned back to it ever since I first used the Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint #OR201. I love corals and this will be one of my best coral products that I own considering that it's not too flashy nor neon. It's a natural coral color that gives you a bright glow that helps your look really freshen up. It works for all seasons, day/night and any color! The only complaint I have about this product is it's packaging and how you cannot tell how much is left. I know the container makes it quite travel-size but I wish it was not as cheap. At least it is not a stick-on logo!
