Some Etude House's Products That I Regret to Purchase :(

Hi bubblies!
How's everyone doing?

I hope everything's good ya! :)

From the title maybe already says it all.

Yup! these are some misses that I found through this famous Korean cosmetic brand.

believe me, I'm sad by myself :(

Don't get me wrong, Etude House is one of my favorite brand overall because they have lots of cuteness going on and I still find their makeup or skincare products works well on me. But somehow, couple of these things just didn't work on me or I think not as hype as what's been raved about >> my personal opinion, of course :)

So, let's see what I've got! :D

***

1. Etude House Styling Eye Liner AD in 02 

I believe they have 01 for black and 02 for white.

Okey. Maybe I can start from what I like first and ended up purchasing this. The color is so very nice to put in inner corner, highlighting brow bone, or in lower waterline to brighten up eyes and make it more doll look. I must admit that. It's a pearly or satiny white color and quite buttery, blendable, and pigmented as well.

my camera can't capture it well, but it come out as satin finish with silver undertone color.

And it's in a twist up pen, which I believe quite practical for traveling or even to use daily.

But, the thing that turn me off is : how fragile this thing is :(

From the packaging into the product itself. I keep breaking the product when I'm applying it to my eyes, even if I did it carefully. With not so many product you get, I'll finish this in a matter of days :(

that's only how much you get. approximately 3cm :(

Not forget to mention, the packaging felt so cheapy, lightweight plastic and not sturdy enough. I BROKE it :)  >>how the hell am I smiling..

Well, I guess this is just a waste of my money. I don't recommend them.

2. Etude House Code B Strong Eyes Cream Liner in #1 Strong Black

This is actually my mom's purchases from the counter because the lady in the counter put it on her. Oh well, mom.. -_-" Actually it's so very nice and black enough to make your eyes stand out.

But, the thing that turn me off is : how fast this thing dries! :( not on your lid, but on the jarl! grrrr..

From the first week my mom uses this ( and because she isn't quite good with gel liner herself ), she ended up just neglect it afterwards on the dresser for another couple of weeks. When I saw it, I kinda wanted to try it and so glad that my mom let me keeping it.. BUT... -_____-" yeah, it already like a stone.

I try to survive it with one of the method i learnt on Youtube >> MICROWAVE! 

Because as what I've heard, if we add something to dissolve it, the consistency wouldn't be the same anymore. But I must say, it's a total FAIL! -________-"

even the jar is cracked on ( only ) 30seconds in the microwave :(

when it cooled down, the consistency even more miserable. like a burnt charcoal :/

Also..

 see that thing? it's supposed to be the free-mini-travel brush cap, but the cap and the brush were loosely enough so I lost the brush now -_-" not the best packaging. ever. -____-"

Well, I guess this is just a waste of my ( mom's :P ) money. I don't recommend them.

3. Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in 01

To be honest, I bought this when I have no such experience with blush color that suit me the best. I thought I was pretty fair enough and that's why I always choose the lightest color every time I bought makeup -_-" Oh well..

The concept is super cute, the packaging is super adorable, even the product itself is easy to work with. had a lovely scents as well ^.^

But, the thing that turn me off is : how pale the color is! It's not flattering color on me. at all. I'm already looking dead if I don't add happy color on my face, and I never intend to be the cast of Twilight either.. so.. yeah. -_-"

Even I don't see it would look good on a darker skin tone color. So, who's gonna wear it? >> well, who knows? I'm not an expert nor experience enough to say this. So, leave my word to myself, okey? :P if it happen to flattering on someone else, it would be sooo good :)

So here you go, my not so happily mood when talking about regret -_-"

But need to remind, every person is different.

Finding what suit you the best is through trial and error journey.

It wouldn't ( supposed ) to be a regret if you learn something from the mistake :)

Let me know what you think!

Good day all!

Review & Swatches : Revlon Colorstay Créme Gel Eyeliner in 003 Plum/Prune

Hi girls!
How's your day? 

Hope it's spectacular! :D

Today I'll be reviewing 

Revlon Colorstay Créme Gel Eyeliner in 003 Plum/Prune

From Revlon, Colorstay line itself already have a place in my heart. They really put up a good drugstore makeup products that people have been raving and compare to the higher brand cosmetics. As we all know.. the infamous Revlon Colorstay Foundation is one of them!

To know that they also carry a gel liner, caught my eye. I believe in my country, it's a brand new product and I'm thrilled to try it. I've been wanting a good purple gel liner, maybe this is the one? hmm.. let's see! :D

For 2.3gr of product I paid like IDR 75000 rupiahs (around $7.50 US Dollar) in any Revlon counter or Watsons like where I bought this.

From the packaging, it has a sleek and modern design. Also has a good weight and come from a sturdy material to cover all the product, I would say it still a hard-plastic-glass look-a-like, though.

It came with a brush that attached into the package. You just need to easily pull and push them in wherever you need it. And the product was securely kept in the lid plastic glass.

I think I'm gonna love the color too! :D

Personally, I'd love to use my personal brush of choice, because I need a longer handle brush to make a good line anywhere near my eyes. :D

. the lighting were all in Indoor artificial light .

From the above swatch, I try to make a good opaque line. The color is buildable and I need 2 coats to make that opaque straight line like what I desire.

From the lower swatch, I just swipe it once and smudge it to see it's easily to work with or not. As the texture is creamy enough, I was quite happy with the result.

For this particular plum color, as you can see it has a silver not shimmer but GLITTERS in it! Not sure why, but to me I even more like it that way. It just brighten up my eyes when light captured the glow. But for some of you, might find this as a downside. *warning*

- Unto the rub test -

After a good 5 minutes and let it set, I try to heavily rub them to see it's staying power. The liner stays put! well.. a little fade doesn't bother me that much. But other thing, as you can see.. the silver glitters were become all over the place. 

oh noo :( 

And as for water resistance, I got into shower with this eyeliner kept on my lid. I would say it stays put for good, but there is a little fading and the glitters just falling on my cheek (not much though!)

.this is on my lid. 

.no primer. no base.

For what I come.. Is it worth the money?

I would say yes! It's an affordable price with a good staying power and pigmentation. 

I'm still glad I bought this.

This color gel liner is an alternative if you want a softer subtle eye look but still give a definition to *specially* brown eyes :)

That's it my review.
