Etude House' Dear Darling Tint in #01

So, my HG lip tint got a make over? Well, this can be a good idea, however, please continue reading this post.

Ok, so as what I'm saying, my favorite lip tint from EH got a new packaging, thus making me dizzy when I was trying to find it at the EH counter because 1) it got a new look; 2) it got bucks higher; and lastly 3) my shade is not available. haha! You know how it feels when you're looking for a certain thing then it's not available when you really need it the most? Ugh. Because of that, I searched for reviews of lip tints that are most likely having the quality of this one. But, when I was in MOA and ready to buy from this another oh so cute Korean cosmetics shop, I just still reconsidered EH, just because I love this shop. And there I was, buying again my HG lip tint, but in different shade of course and I got the 01 shade which is the berry red.

 L-R: shade 01, shade 02 (check here)

Onto the lips, it looks more of a dark fuchsia than pink and red. I like it, but not to the extent that I love it because I noticed that the improved version fades easily unlike the old one. And yeah, I still prefer red on my lips, which the shade 02 provides (review here). And as I was typing this post, i remembered the SA telling me that this new packaging is mas pinaganda or well improved. Well, i don't think so. As I said, this fades easily like hell. And oh, the price got higher. The old one cost P198, and this, P228. Anyway, I still love Etude House and their cutesy but oh so nagmamahal na products. I still hope they will have more items on sale though. :)

Etude House' Dear Darling Tint in #02

I'm going to share my HG lip tint which is from Etude House, a cosmetic brand from Korea, and yes, they are now invading the country. Haha! This lip tint is great for everyday use 'cause it's not that striking nor gives you the look like you just sucked blood. So here it is.

Sturdy plastic bottle with the label which doesn't fade easily

    Swatches:

Has a jellylike consistency

I couldn't find a decent photo btw. haha. Oh, I was wearing my bf's eyeglasses. *o*

It's a pretty red shade that gives you a slightly matte finish you would really want for a good casual look or even on night outs 'cause it's also buildable. This is actually my third bottle and as I haven't found anything better and cheap as it is, I wouldn't mind buying as long as I want. Really, I love this that sometimes I use it on my cheeks. It also comes in three shades which are: #1 Berry Red (lovely pink shade), #2 Real Red (this one), and #3 Orange Red (tangerine hint). I think I'll try the Pink shade soon. Teehee. *v*

Pros:
*buildable
*easy to use with its doe foot applicator
*doesn't smell bad
*longlasting (as long as you won't eat nor drink. XD)
*gives you a natural hint of red
*jellylike consistency therefore easy to blend
*the price! this is only Php198

Cons:
*could be really drying (best when used after applying lip balm)

Rating: 4.5/5



 Oh wait, have you seen my nails? Haha! Isn't it adorable?

I saw the tutorial on Youtube and tried it out myself ! It's really fun. All you need is just a light shade of nail polish (so that the writings will be visible), some newspaper strips, and water or even alcohol on a small bowl. Spread some coat, let it dry, soak the strips onto the water/alcohol then lay it on the nails (press for 10 seconds), then remove. Finish it with the top coat. Tadaaa! Hihi. Try it out! *v*
