Etude House - Fresh Cherry Lip Tint Review

Happy Friday everyone. 

I bought the Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint on Ebay for a couple of pounds from the Etude House sellers shop. It took a long time for it to arrive, I would say about five or six weeks but it was worth it when it finally dropped through the letterbox.

I love Etude House and I was drawn to it at first for the amazing packaging. This product is the Fresh Cherry Tint which is available in four different shades. I chose this one as it's a gorgeous pink colour and it's in the shade PK002 Cherry tint #4.

Etude House describes the lip tint as a "tint promotes moist & shiny cherry lips with a smooth, creamy texture."

Directions- Use tip to gather and apply tint, Apply extra layer for added coverage.

I love the font and the hot pink bottle. The lid screws off and there is an applicator to apply the lip tint. It smells absolutely delicious like sweet bubblegum and I could just eat it all up. I did slightly lick my lips and it didn't taste good so I wouldn't try it if I were you! The tint looks as though it is a bright Barbie pink but as soon as it has contact with the back of my hand or lips it applies quite sheer. If you add more product by building it up then you can achieve a more vibrant look.

The tint does feel creamy and applies smoothly but then it has that drying effect on your lips like a tint has. I'm comparing it to Benefit's tints and these do exactly the same.

The product looks like a shiny lip gloss when wet and then dries to a stain. It has really good longevity and lasted for hours on my lips (and also stained the back of my hand!)

What I love about it:

- I love the cute pink bottle.

The scent smells delicious.

It's very affordable.

I love the pink shade.

You can build up a more vibrant look or keep it sheer.

Long-lasting.

What I don't love:

The drying feeling it has on my lips as soon as the tint sinks into my lips.

I would definitely repurchase and I'd like to try the other shades too.

pixi Lip Blush - Luck

I won this Pixi Lip Blush from the company on their Twitter page. They sent it out very quickly and wrapped it up in pink tissue paper which gave it a lovely personal touch.

They have some gorgeous shades available and I would have loved to have received the shades 'Youth' which is a soft baby pink, 'Happiness' which is a pink berry rose, 'Love' a true strawberry red or 'Energy' which is a light coral apricot.

I like the box that it is packaged in, especially the pair of lips adorned on the side.
I also like the lip blush pen with the floral design and the logo.

The lid clicks into place and it reminds me of a secure felt-tip pen.
I noticed straight away the scent of this lip blush. It is absolutely gorgeous and smells of mixed berries and as I like fruity scents this is a winner in my eyes.

I've not really tried any lip stains in a pen-like form before but I found the product easy to apply. It left a tingly feeling on my lips as it was drying and I added a couple of layers to obtain a deeper effect.

I wouldn't have chosen this shade for myself but from looking back at the picture from me wearing it I do quite suit it. I tend to go for more pinks and corals and this is a darker shade of mauve which I'm just not drawn to.

Here is what Pixi state about their product;

"Award winning.
A long lasting, sheer yet full-pigment matte lip stain that creates a blushing, healthy stay-on hue
What it is formulated to do:
Lip Blush provides a matte stain of colour on lips that lasts and lasts without needing to re-apply - for a minimum of 8 hours! Perfect for days when you are on the go. This feather-light water stain provides deep colour with a unique non-drying formula - lips stay supple and hydrated. Precision felt tip gives a perfectly defined lip line with a sheer yet highly pigmented colour payoff. Color is translucent and can be built up or darkened with added layers."

With a few layers I found that this product lasted a few hours and then it needed reapplying. It may well last the full 8 hours with more layers applied but with it being my first application, I carefully lined it on and then went out. As it is a stain I wasn't entirely sure of how much I was supposed to apply, as it was sinking into my lips I thought it was enough. Clearly next time I will ensure that I add more.

I love how it is supposed to last for 100-150 applications too as this is long-lasting.

I will definitely repurchase this again but in a different shade next time.

Have you tried the brand Pixi before? What would you recommend from the range of products?

Thankyou very much to pixi :)
