Review & Swatches : Aloha V-Line Slim Maker



 I guess I'll be reviewing another Etude House product.. it's from their Aloha line.

" V-Line Slim Maker "
 
Actually. I kinda distracted. Every time I tried to review this thing, this is what's in my mind..
yeah. those coconut cup booty shakin'.
LOL. 
nevermind. back onto the review, shall we? :)))

What is this?
Etude House Aloha V-Line Slim Maker is a bronzer and highlighter compact. It is stated,"To make the chin line as the true V line, don't forget that there is the V line slim maker to express the skin in slim look!" 
Look at what it promised me :

wtf ?!

However, aside from their "joke", it is supposed to help you achieve a natural looking V-Line Face Shape. The website even states that there is Natural Sugar Fitting Powder as one of it's key ingredients in the powder (which helps to stop the cakey powdery feel on your face).

They have 2 colors of choice for this product, which is :
01. Sun Gold / Wood Brown
02. Sun Pink / Cherry Wood

And the color I chose was 01. Sun Gold / Wood Brown because it was a little lighter and more yellow/warm toned and I thought that it would fit my skin tone more.


Packaging

As you know, I adore Etude House's or any other Korean makeup product for their cute packaging. And yes again, it is another pretty package that caught my eyes. But none like any other Etude House's packaging, it has some sturdy feel to it ( huge plus! ) and.. it also has a generous size of mirror inside! woohoo! However, continue with what I mean by none like any other Etude House's packaging, usually I would find their clever solution in making a compact and practical piece of makeup. In this product, I won't be able to store their mini size brush elsewhere except to carry it separately.

 Kinda loose the practical purpose of a bronzer and highlighter compact, but you get bothered to store a separate brush.


But.. aside from that, so many good things I would say from this product. Yeap, I like this product! :D  And let me tell you why..
First, it's on an affordable price ( remember, get it from Indonesian multiply market! ) Their counter in mall giving me a heart attack price sometimes. bleh. I got it for IDR 139000rupiahs ( around $13.90 US Dollar ) while in the counter it could be twice as much.. for the same product! -_____-" zzz..
Second, the quality of the product. I wouldn't say you'll be amazed, but I rather say that it is a good product! The powder is finely milled and feel soft, also easy to blend. It looks natural on me. and oh- another thing, it smell sooo good. It does has feminine and floral scents to it. I'm blown away. 

Pigmentation
















The Bronzer - To me, the bronzer is not crazy pigmented or melted like a butter. It is more like a very soft pressed powder and quite sheer when you swipe it, but definitely a buildable color. Which is a good thing for me, since I tend to just slap it on my face when I need a hint of color on my very pale face. 
The color, Wood Brown shade is a matte oak wood shade or I may say milk chocolate brown with a reddish undertone.  

The highlighter -  Now, this is what I call so pigmented and buttery. The down side is I found it to be more of a fall out into my cheeks, while I'm doing my cheekbones. So what I do is using my hand and slightly dab it into my skin. And that's what I find the best for applying it.
The color, Sun Gold shade is a golden champagne with beige undertones, and a shimmery pearl finish. Sooo beautiful ^____^

Comparison

Here is a comparison of the brown shade :
1 - MAC Get Away Bronze ( powder blush )
2 - Elf Duo Compact ( the bronzer )
3 - Elf Cool Bronzer ( mixture of the 4 color )
4 - Aloha V-Line Slim Maker ( the bronzer )














Somehow, Aloha V-Line Slim Maker is a mixture of 3 other shade and separate the frost into a highlight. It got slightly orangey undertone and a mixture of milk chocolate and a reddish brown.

My thoughts
Overall, I like this a lot and definitely a keeper to my makeup collection. 
Here is a picture when I applied it a bit more than usual so that my camera doesn't wash out the color and you can see it on my face.





That's it my review.
Let me know what you think!
Good day all!

    1. each has different finishes. so I use it for different look. but, what I reached the most is MAC and etude. the least favourite would be elf cool bronzer. ya, I definitely recommend the other three, but not elf cool bronzer. :)

    1. kalo emang nyari bronzer for everyday use, and looking at the color could match your skin, i can say i recommend it ( for me personally, i didn't like the highlighter much because it easily fall off ) untuk bilang wajib kamu beli, kan yg tau butuhnya km sendiri.

      yup, already followed :)

    1. hmm staying power should be really personal for each skin, dear. it last me pretty good on my oily skin, around 3-5hours before it fades :)

  9. I've got it since I wanted contouring and highlighting product in one case for practicality sake. I got it in cherry brown. I didn't really like the product as it is hard to pick up enough product for contouring, need extra effort to do it, and the highlighter is glittery. I prefer pearly highlighter like in nyx mosaic which unfortunately breaks really really easily >_< Quest for highlighter continues

    1. haha i like the bronzer for it's not too pigmented, to be honest. i just slap it all over my face. it's buildable, so yeah. i can play with it :)
      agree with you on the highlighting part. but overall still liking this product. hehe

      lol. good luck to conquer your quest, dear! :D
