Review: Etude House Dear My Essence in Lips-Talk

Hello everyone~ Happy holiday to all of you ^^

So.. today I am going to review a Korean lip product that I got a few months ago,

Etude House Dear My Essence in Lips-talk.

Actually I got this lip product from Etude Time 3 event in Surabaya last February.

I am really sorry for the extremely long delay duhh >__<

Can you see those heart prints on the pink box? Oh well, the packaging is very cute as usual, and yes I must admit that Etude House wins for cutest packaging eveeer! That's why Etude House is one of my favorite Korean beauty brands lol xD

Product description :

- Contains 10% of meadow form oil which produces moisturizing layer.
- Moist and smooth with essence ingredients.
- Clear color formation to express attractive lips.
- Essence in lipstick, good to cover skin cell.

This lip product is available in 8 pretty colors, and the shade that I got is EBE102.

It comes in a pink tube, it has a snap-up cap with twist thingy at the bottom, and you will hear a quite-loud 'click' sound every time you twist it up.

But I WARN you.. do not twist it too much, and just twist it only 2 - 3 clicks to obtain the perfect amount and prevent breakage.. because you can NOT twist it back down!!!! Okay to be honest, I did not know about this thing at first. Stupidly.. I was very curious at the first time, and twisted it up to 3cm. And when I tried to twist it back down, BAM! of course it did not work at all, and I was like "what the hell is going on?!? asdfghjkl". Aghh how stupid I am!! *banging my head to the wall* T____T

It looks similiar like a marker, and it could fit inside my makeup pouch perfectly~

The texture is extremely creamy, but not sticky at all! And the consistency is very light. But unfortunately it's very easy to melt, ughh it's completely melted until I could not twist it up! So, I should put it in a refrigerator for about 10 minutes before I use it.. And it's quite inconvenient for me, especially when I was in a hurry! -___-

Well, EBE102 is a super-pretty nude shade and it has coral pink undertone. This is my go-to lip product because it looks very natural, just like my real lip color but much better! And I think I use it way too often lol xD

It's quite moisturizing, it glides onto my lips smoothly, and the color is also buildable.

The finish result is a little bit glossy at first, but it absorbed into my lips after 30 minutes, leave a lovely silky finish result. And it does not stay for more than 4 hours, so you should reapply it.

And I highly recommend you to exfoliate your lips first, because as you can see.. it makes my lips look very dry and chapped! But I do not recommend you to apply a lip balm first, because of my own experience, it will make the color does not absorb properly into your lips, and trust me.. it looks worse!!

Overall, this lipstick is affordable and this EBE102 shade is very pretty, so.. I do not mind to purchase other shades. But however, I think it's quite tricky to use this lipstick and I really hate how I could not twist it back down, so I could not know how much product I have left. And sadly, it's also very easy to melt, so I just give it 3.5 out of 5 pink bows!

Thanks for reading and have a lovely day, girls!

PS: Happy Eid Mubarak for those who celebrate it~

See ya~
