Review: Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint OR202 Cherry Coral

Hi everyone! Today's review is featuring Etude House's limited edition Fresh Cherry Tint in the shade OR202 Cherry Coral which can be purchased here. As you may know, one of the most popular product in Etude House is their Fresh Cherry Tints. To celebrate their 5th year anniversary of the product, Etude House has came out with two limited edition shades. This coral color and a lavender  color. If you've been following me for a while now, you may have noticed I have a soft spot for corals so of course I chose the coral one.
One side of the box is in English (thank god) which is a description of the product as well as its ingredients. 
Here is what the lip tint looks like. Super cute bottle :)
Etude House always has the expiration on the bottom/(or back depending).

Here is what the applicator looks like. Pretty fuzzy looking to be honest.

Here's a swatch of the tint, really creamy as you can see.
Here's the tint slightly blended.
Here's what the tint looks like applied on my lips.

If you guys are familiar with Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint products, you'd know that they are pretty natural looking however it's not to the point where you can't see any color applied. This concept goes with this shade as well. I was hoping the pigmentation might be a little bit darker however, the formula is still the same. If you guys are into a lip color that isn't too noticeable, but gives a subtle hint of shade, this will be perfect for you.

Color: 5/5
Pigmentation: 4/5
Comfort: 5/5 -- Seriously feels like nothing is on my lips!
Wear Time: 4/5

Thanks for reading~

Review: Etude House Princess Happy Ending Collection

So Etude House recently launched their Princess Happy Ending Collection featuring Disney's Princesses: Cinderella, Jasmine, Belle, and Snow White. The collection consists of lipsticks, cream shadows, blushes, and nail polishes. Note: The BB Cream and mascara in this collection is a part of their original line, just repackaged be a part of this collection. 

So I have 4 items from this collection to share with you guys today. Hope you will enjoy my reading my thoughts as always.


So one of the many things that I found to be super cute packaging wise is the fact that you can display them to look like little books!
Kudos to Etude House for always coming out of new ways to amp up the packaging.


I'm going to first start talking about the Cinderella section of the collection.  So for Cinderella, there were a total of 3 cream eyeshadows and 1 nail polish set. 


I have mine in the color #1 Pink Glass Heels, which is a rusty pink.


The description of this product says, "This is a glitter shadow that glides magically onto skin and comes with a fantastic shimmer." 



On every side of this collection's products, there is a quote from the Princesses! For Cinderella, the quote is "If you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true." 


Here's what the color looks like. It's actually a baked cream eyeshadow-- which is different from what we are used to. Like we all have seen baked face products like blushers, but for a CREAM shadow? Very unique.



I was pleasantly surprised by the pigmentation of this product. It was very smooth to the touch and applied on very nicely. You can wear this shadow alone or use it as a base for powder eyeshadows. Really up to you.


Next up is Jasmine's part. For her, there was the mascara and nail polish set. 

I feel like the colors really do match up to Jasmine, it's a blue and gold.


Like I've mentioned, each of the side has a quote related or from the Princesses. This one says, "I'm like a shooting star."



Closer look at the nail polish packaging-- look at the magic lamp and crochet! 


If you guys have noticed, all of Etude House's nail polish sets come with a nail sticker sheet. Likewise, this one has stickers as well! 



Next up is Snow White's part. For her, there were BB Cream, lipsticks, and nail polish set.


Her quote is "Everything's going to be alright."


Description of the lipstick, "This is a moist lipstick that comes with clear color and rich moisture."

I wish instead of clear, they used the term opaque because it sounds like there's going to be zero color payoff LOL.


As we all know, Snow White's lips are red to match with her white as snow skin. So obviously her lipstick is going to be red.


Happy to say this lipstick is really pigmented and creamy! One swipe is all you need.


And last but not least, we have Belle. For her, there was 2 blushes, 1 lipstick, and a nail polish set.



The color I have is #1 Pink Shine Rose.


The product's description is, "This is a  rose colored blusher that resembles a rose in full bloom on both cheeks."


Her quote is, "I want so much more than they've got planned."


There is a rose imprint on the blush. So pretty!

This product is my least favorite from this collection. When swatched, it took like a good three times for the color to show up on my arm. And on my face, the color hardly showed. Like literally...So thumbs down on this one.

But over all, I was really excited for this collection to launch and I mostly enjoyed all the products. I'm thinking about picking up the Belle lipstick and the other Cinderella cream eyeshadows. Those has to be my favorite from the collection :)

Thanks for reading guys and have a lovely weekend.
