Haul and Swatches: Etude House

hello everyone..

so, i've been busy for the past few days.. University life :(

i'm just going to show and give information to you about what i got from the bazaar last friday at UMN (The University i attended).

in that bazaar, Etude House was participated and when i saw their price list, i was so tempted.. in USD around US$2 each? OMG LIPSTICKS, EYESHADOWS, POLISHES..

yeah.. you might be aware of fake products, but they were having a clearance sale.. and they are official so i don't really mind..

here their price list was

Lipstick : Buy 1 for $2.20/Rp.20k

buy 2 for $3.30/Rp.30k

Polish: Buy 1 for $1.90/Rp.15k
Buy 2 for $2.20/Rp.20k

Buy 2 for $2.20/Rp.20k

Powder : Buy 1 for $4.40/Rp.40k
Buy 2 For $7.70/Rp.70k

it's Freaking cheap.

it's Etude House's old package still under Étude name..

the etude Viviade Lipstick.. so much like Kissade Lipstick O.O
so, i got myself Listicks, polishes, and eyeshadows.

what i got?

Étude Viviade Lipstick : BR301, BR305, RD101
Étude Jewelade polish : WH703, OR206, 02
Étude Eyeshadows (first row) : BL535, BL526, BL534

                            (second row) : YL830, PP932, GR645

Swatches

 

Étude Viviade Lipstick
 L-R
 BR301: a soft rosy pink color with brown undertone.. it's a PERFECT color for my dark lips..  love it!
BR305 : a rose pink color with brown undertone and with a faint golden shimmer..
RD101 : bright and classic red lipstick.. cool undertone? i love it.. totally..

it moisture my lips.. and the texture is light with satin finish

Étude Jewelade polish
L-R
WH703 : sheer shimmer white color with small rainbow glitter
OR206 : Sheer Nude Shimmer color.. love it
02 : rainbow glitter polish with red sparkles.

L-R

BL535 : Shimmery Deep Blue with glitter (in real life, it's more darker)
BL526 : Shimmery pale cornflower blue with white glitter
BL534 : shimmery sky blue with white glitter

Étude Eyeshadows
L-R
YL830 : yellow shimmer eyeshadow.. best for highlighter..
PP932 : purple shimmer eyeshadow with white glitter
GR645 : Moss green shimmer eyeshadow with white glitter

so, the eyeshadow looks promising huh?
they're very pigmented.. but.. here's the result if you transfer them on your hand.

lol..they're not so pigmented.. the eyeshadows are too powdery..
it fades quickly.. it does not long last.. :(

you might be wondering why i only bought 3 lipsticks and 3 polishes instead of 4 lipsticks and 4 polishes, well my friend joined me, she bought Viviade BR301 and jewelade 01.. cheaper in that way.. LOL
 anyway, other colors are pink, purple, which i don't really like..

NYX Round Lipstick

(L-R) LSS575 BLACK CHERRY, LSS635 DOLL, LSS628 TEA ROSE, LSS588 ORANGE SODA

i love black cherry and orange soda in real life..
i have a dark lips so, IMO
BLACK CHERRY is a deep red wine and i love it.. totally love it! it can brighten my face..
DOLL is a not too pink and not too red. i don't really like it on my lips. the colour turns out to be darker on my lips..
TEA ROSE is a nice pink and it's natural pink actually.. but i don't really like it.. the colour turns to have a hint of blue? i wonder why..
ORANGE SODA is a nude peachy orange.. i love nude lipstick coz it brighten my lips..

my bare lips.. dark lips --"

(all taken with artificial lightning)


see the black cherry? i wonder why my skin turned to olive --"
i don't really like both doll and tea rose.. they don't suit me..
well i bought them 2 months ago about @US$3.. cheap right?


so IMO


Pros:


• Cheap
• Great Pigmentation
• moisture my lips
• Creamy, shiny, glossy


Cons:


• not long lasting.. around 2 hours and you have to reapply it
• smells like chemicals and plastics.. which i don't really care
• not stiff enough so that i broke 3 of them --"


Repurchase? sure, why not? i want to buy NYX round lipstick in Bruised and almost black..


well, what about you? what do you prefer nude, natural or dramatic lipstick?
as for me, nude and dramatic deep red lipstick
