My Small Etude House Lippie collection *LOVE*

Etude House VIP Girl Lipsticks. OR206, PK006, PK007 (from left to right)

I've been loving these lippes from Etude House lately. I actually have them for awhile just never got a chance to do a review. Etude House is Korean brand that is known for their cute package, good quality and affordable price. The lipsticks I got are from their VIP girl collection. The VIP girl lipsticks are around for awhile, they're all very bright, creamy and pigmented. I ordered mine from ebay since there is no store around me sell Etude House products.

I ordered my first one from an Ebay seller for $10 including shipping (from Korea), not too bad. Guess which is the first one I got? Yes, PK007, the nudest baby pink one, since it's my favorite type of color I thought it won't go wrong. After I received my first one, I was so impressed with the color, I went ahead and ordered 2 more colors.

These lipsticks are so creamy (remind me of MAC Cremesheen) and don't feel heavy on the lips which is a big plus for me! The staying power is good enough and they have this fruit scent that smell so yummy and not over powering. The color selections are kinda limited, around 7-8 shades as I remember... they are all very bright and candy like colors.

From left to right. OR206, PK006, PK007.

OR206 is bright coral pink, PKoo6 is bright hot pink, and PK007 is bright baby pink. I like PK007 the most and it is a really nude color. I think it has similar effect as YSL Rouge Volupte #7 Lingerie Pink. So if you like the YSL you will probably love this one. I will say it is right between YSL Lingerie Pink and MAC GaGa lipstick?

Etude House Peach Water Gloss in Peach Milk and Strawberry Milk (left to right)

I also ordered these lip glosses from the same seller. They are Etude House Peach Water Gloss, around $8 each (including shipping). I got the Peach Milk and Strawberry Milk. The Strawberry Milk is blue tone pink with shimmer and the Peach Milk is peachy pink color and no shimmer. Just like the name, they smell like peach and the consistency is not too thick, not sticky at all. They are kinda sheer but do show up on my lips. I like to layer them on top of the VIP lipsticks or just any pink lipsticks. They are comfortable on the lips and taste so good. I do like them alot.

Over all I'm pretty impressed with these lippies. I was never a big fan of Asian drugstore cosmetics but now I want to try more coz I like these babies so much! Have you every tried any Etude House products or any of the Korean cosmetics? What's your favorite?

Sephora Pink Ballerina Lip Gloss

I've been in love with these glosses lately -- Sephora Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss. I got a mini set from Sephora birthday gift a while ago, didn't think I would like them since I wasn't impressed with Sephora brand before. I decided to try them one day and can't stop wearing them since! After wearing MAC for so long and so used to their sticky glosses, these feel so fresh on. They're not sticky at all and taste like cherry candy.


Because they are not sticky, the staying power is not as good as mac or other stickier glosses but they're not too bad compare to the drugstore ones. I don't mind to reapply more frequent since they feel so comfortable on, plus, I think they really moisturize my lips.

Since I like the mini set so much. I pick up a full size one in Pink Ballerina. It's a very light baby pink. no shimmer. It goes well with all the baby pink lippies I have :)



I found myself leaning toward to cheaper brands when come to lip glosses, NYX mega shine, BBW's and now the Sephora ones...

What's your favorite glosses?
