Etude Beauty Shot Face Blur Review

   From BB Creams to CC Creams to Face Cushions, I can say that Korea is an innovator when it comes to make up product trends and no matter how other countries immitate them (make up), nothing beats the original. Face blurring make up is now the latest trend in Korea. They vary from primers to face powders. One of the brands that offer such products is Etude House and this blurring primer is one of their sought-after product to date. It is the Beauty Shot Face Blur (or just Face Blur).

   The Face Blur is a lightweight cream that provides multi-blurring effects for instantly refined and smooth skin. It has 3 claims: smoothened skin, minimized pores and brightened skin. Later we will find out if it can live up to its claims. 

   

   The product comes in a sturdy plastic bottle with pump which dispenses a modest amount of liquid. The liquid is pinkish beige and is a bit creamy in texture. It has a light floral scent. It costs PhP 898 when purchased at Etude House but fortunately I was able to purchase it at a more affordable price (the cheapest one online) at Margarita Shop, one of my favorite online stores. 

   Here is my before and after picture with the Face Blur on one side of my face. As you can see I have dark spots (pimple scars) and huge pores. After applying a decent amount of the product, you can notice that it brightened my skin (100% no photoshop). It's like I applied CC cream on my face. The dark spots on my nose have disappeared and my pores were barely visible. I have used this product alone with my ever-reliable 3W Clinic powder and it gave me awesome results. With BB cream after, it made the BB cream adhere better. Etude recommends using this with their Precious Mineral Any Cushion (but it is expensive so I'll stick to my BB cream).

PROS:

- affordable (online)

- lived up to its claims

- has SPF 15

- doesn't cause breakouts

- doesn't make oily skin oilier

- conceals pores

- brightens skin in an instant

- makes makeup last longer

- 2 to 3 pumps is enough to cover the entire face

- can be used alone or as a primer

CONS:

- the box does not have a seal so it can be easily tampered

   Overall, Etude's Face Blur is one heck of a product. No wonder it is a hit in Korea as well as in our country. You get 3 benefits in one product and it is really worth buying. Of all the primers I have in my stash, this one is definitely my favorite. I give this awesome primer a 5 out of 5!!!! 

Etude Rosy Tint Lips Review

   Hello dearies! Today's review is way overdue because the product I will share with you has been released a year or so ago. It is Etude's Rosy Tint Lips. This tint is one of Etude's bestseller and one of my favorite product from the said brand. If you have been reading my blog, you could say that this freak's addicted to lip tints. Oh yes I am! I prefer tints than lipsticks. I dunno. Maybe I find it easier to use. Well, whatever, let's just get on with the review.

Swatches of the product. I would love to have #8!

Directions on how to use the tint in 2 ways, gradient and full.

   This tint is available in 8 shades. The ones I have are #'s 4,6, and 7. I am planning to buy 1 & 8 soon. I just love the red and burgundy shade of those two but I did not prioritize buying them because I prefer nude and pink better. The product is contained in a plastic tube with a sponge tip to make the product glide on lips easily. It is creamy in texture. Creamy when applied and dries into a matte finish. To be honest, I don't know why this product is categorized as a tint because the texture is almost the same as Nyx Soft Matte lippies (which I super hate btw). What I love about this tint is that it is very pigmented and doesn't dry my lips throughout the course of wearing it. The dryness effect on my lips occur after removing it though. But it is not as awful as Nyx. There are some negative stuff I have to say about this Etude tint though. One, the cap of the 2 pinks I have are loose. I had to place them very carefully inside my bag. Two, you won't have a clue how much product is still left inside. Three, it is a bit expensive for almost 500 a tube. 

   Despite of the negative stuff, I still love this product and will still purchase 2 more. If you are a fan of matte lippies, you will surely love this one. My verdict: 4 out of 5!

Etude Every Month Cleansing Foam #2 Review

   Are you in search for a facial wash that really suits your skintype and skincare needs? Are you one of those people who can't stick to one facial wash to use til the last drop? Well, if your answer is a big YES, look no further because Etude House has a wide variety of facial wash and cleanser that meets every person's skincare needs. One of their facial skincare line that offers a WIDE selection of facial wash if their Every Month Cleansing Foam line.

 The Every Month Cleansing Foam line consists of 12 different cleansing foams. Each of the 12 has its own claims and each is suitable for a particular skin type or need. They have different consistencies. Some are cream foam type and some are gel foam. Their scents also vary. Each of the 12 has its own particular special ingredient. The one I have is #2 which contains Pomegranate and Berry and is meant for firming skin and making it elastic. 

   Each tube consists of 100 ml of product and costs PhP198. The manufacturing date is stamped at the top part of the tube. There are English and Korean details printed at the back. The ingredients are printed in a sticker which I already removed. It has a seal inside so you'll know it is new and unused. This particular variant is gel foam type and smells fruity but like my daughter's shampoo. Kinda tolerable for me. A tiny drop like the one on the picture can cover my entire face and neck because it turns into a rich lather. Just make sure to place the cap very well so it won't spill. It is upside down when you place it in the shelf.

   Now let's see how well it performed. Above, I have a washable mascara, Skinfood Tint Gloss, and Etude Rosy Tint on my hand. The two tints are the long lasting ones. As you can see the products does not form into a bubble foam but has a rich lather. The 3 were hard to remove by just rubbing it. After rinsing, the mascara was complety removed but traces of lip tints were still there. My hand felt very soft afterwards. The same result I get every time I wash my face. By the way, I use this as my night time cleanser. I use Innisfree during daytime foer sebum control. 

PROS:

- affordable

- makes skin soft 

- rich lather

- mild

- many variants

- did not cause me any breakout

- pleasant smell

- does not dry skin

CONS: 

- does not completely remove makeup

- no sebum control (this variant)

- product consistency (I prefer cream foam)

- may spill 

   This particular variant is suitable for mature or dry skin. This is also good for people with sensitive skin. I like this line because there are so many to choose from. You can have like 1 variant for daytime and 1 for night time. I just won't bother trying like 2 at a time because I have 2 facial foams already. Though it can't completely remove makeup that it still fine with me because I seldom wear makeup. Also there's my reliable Wonder Pore toner to finish the job. The score for this cutie is a 4 out of 5!!!

Etude Oh! M' Eye Lash Volume Mascara

   I have been using L'oreal Volumious Million Lashes Mascara for years and since it is not available in the local market and it is expensive online, I was in pursuit of a replacement mascara that would (first and foremost) suit my budget and would suit my need since I don't wear makeup every day. I liked L'oreal's since it made my lashes really voluminous without clumping thanks to its unique designed rubber brush. I searched for prospects online (because I don't usually go out) and one of the affordable ones I found was this mascara from Etude. The Oh! M' Eye Lash Mascara #3 Volume.

   This mascara is from the Oh! M'Eye Lash family consisting of a base coat (white), top coat (blue), and another mascara meant for creating curled lashes. I haven't tried out the 3 when I went to Etude last Sunday. I just tried the volume mascara. Each product costs PhP228 in stores. Since it's affordable and worked on me I slipped a piece into my little basket right away. The product looks simple unlike other Etude mascaras. It's just a plain black container with words written in pink. The product is meant to be used for 6 months after opening. Looking closely at the 1st and 3rd picture above, this one has a wavy brush compared to its curling counterpart.  The product is sealed with stickers so you'll know it's not tampered nor used.

   The pictures above are the result of the mascara on my right eyelashes. I have medium length lashes. And after using the mascara my lashes became averagely thicker, longer, and curled. Compared to previous mascaras I have used, this one gave just average result. This mascara is a washable type but from my experience it was semi-washable. I still needed the help of a makeup remover to remove it completely. As you can see in the last picture above, my eye still looked like it still has mascara on it.

PROS:

- affordable

- can (averagely) thicken, lift and curl lashes 

- not messy to apply

- smudge proof

CONS:

- hard to rinse out with soap and water

- does not give maximum volume

   I will recommend this mascara for beginners and those looking for an affordable mascara. Based from my experience, I would still like to try other mascaras from Etude particularly the Lash Perm Shockara. For now, I have no choice but to stick with this one since there's no need for me to purchase different mascaras. I give this mascara a 3 out of 5 score!!!!

Etude Color My Brows #1 Review

   Hello dearies! Today's featured product is one of Etude House's best seller. This is also one of the many makeup that Singapore made a counterfeit. Sorry, I just can't help but mention it because counterfeit Etude products are all over the online shopping world. Also I wonder how these counterfeit items are labeled as "Singapore Authentic". How can a fake be authentic???? You can read about Color My Brows' counterfeit review here by kikaysimaria. This is a very helpful review.

  Color My Brows is available in 5 shades- #1 rich brown, #2 light brown, #3 red brown, #4 natural brown, &#5 blondie brown. The swatches are shown above. This lash mascara is neatly packed in a folder like carton with instructions. I already discarded the carton sorry. It costs PhP 378 at Etude and normally PhP 300 online plus shipping fee. The container looks like your average mascara. The consistency is like a mascara but drier. To use this, you just simply swipe the brush applicator along the hair growth. TIP: swipe it inside out then vice versa so that your brow hair will be completely covered.

    I was born with thick jet black hairstrands and there's no need for me to use a brow liner. I just have it cleaned every other month or so. I purchased the Color My Brows because I often dye my hair Chestnut or Mahogany and I felt the need to balance the color of my brows with my hair. I picked the rich brown shade because it was the safest color for me. I have tried all of the testers and this one covered the blackness of my brows unlike the rest of the shades. As you can see in the picture, after applying the product my brows became a bit thicker and brownish.This brow mascara lasts the whole day eventhough it is not waterproof.

PROS:

- long lasting

- color blends with hairstrands easily

- various shades to choose from

- makes brows look neat and polished 

- I haven't experienced any allergic reaction

- compact size

- dries quickly after application

- a perfect alternative to brow liner

CONS:

- a bit expensive for a small product

- dries easily if cap is not securely placed

- other shades won't look good on brows with thick hairstrands

- counterfeit available in the market

- looks awkward when applied to very very thin brow strands (use brow liner instead)

   I simply love this product! It just makes my makeup look more polished because it makes my brows appear neat. If you love changing hair color, this will be a big help to balance. I highly recommend this product to the ladies who wants an easy brow touch up gear. My verdict for this product is 4 out of 5!!!

Etude Tea Tree Mask Review

   I am not a fan of sheet mask. As you have seen and read on my previous entries, I'm into wash-off type of masks because I can use them repeatedly for a long duration of time compared to sheet type. Today I will share my views about Etude's Tea Tree Mask.

   I have only used sheet masks from Etude. I never purchase one. I got them as freebies from purchases. Prior to this mask I will review, I have tried the Pomegranate and White Pearl variants and that was 3 years ago. I have some variants here courtesy of my favorite online sellers. Today's featured product came from Margarita Shop. I just love that simple message personally written by Ms. Maryan, the shop's owner. She always include a personal thank you note on every purchase I make and this time it was written on the mask package.

   Etude's sheet masks have changed its packaging. The 2 pictures above are its latest packaging. Each variant is meant for a particular skin type or skin concern.

   The tea tree mask contains tea tree extracts that claim to provide a fresh and clean complexion because of its soothing properties. The packaging is neat and cute. The back's got korean and english printed details about the product. The manufacturing date's stamped at the bottom part. It is to be used within 24 months from the manufacturing date. The mask smells like tea. I simply love it. It is not overwhelming ang I find it relaxing. The actual sheet is dripping wet. That's one thing I hate about using sheet masks. It is dripping and you cannot do anything but lie down and relax. I'm into multi-tasking so I had no freakin' choice during the time I wore this mask. I removed the excess liquid off it before I removed it from the packaging. According to the packaging, to use this mask, you need to apply toner after cleansing and place the mask to fit eye and lip area. Remove the mask after 10-15 minutes and lightly massage remaining solution into skin with hands. When I used this mask I waited until the exposed part of the mask was almost dry. I wanted the solution to fully sink into my skin before removing it. After removing the mask, I massaged the remaining solution in my face and neck. I forgot to mention, I chose to use the tea tree variant at that time because I had 2 pesky pimples on my right cheek. The next day, I woke up with less oil on my face and my pores aren't that huge AND my pimples have subsided. I swear! I slept with 2 big pimples and woke up with 2 red dots. It was magic! 

PROS:
- has a nice scent 
- mild
- affordable (PhP 58 a pack)
- effective in controlling pimples
- soothing and relaxing
- does not cause breakout

CONS:
- excessive solution
- drips
- a bit sticky after the mask has been removed

   The Tea Tree mask is suitable for people with oily/combination skin and those with acne or pimples. I highly recommend this one if you want instant relief and remedy. A whopping 5 out of 5 for this precious thing!!!

Etude Moistfull Super Collagen Cream Mini-Review

   Hi everyone! I am back with a sampler for my mini-review. Our spotlight is on Etude House' s Moistfull Super Collagen Cream. I got this sampler from my last set of purchase from @hellogorgeous17 from Instagram. According to the website, this is a cream that contains 63% super collagen, spreading gently but thoroughly onto skin for smooth and elastic skin.

   

   I have used this sampler for 4 nights. I applied it on both face and neck. The packet's got the same color as the normal sized tub. The Moistfull Collagen line has a lot of products- toner/skin, emulsion, cream to name a few. I haven't tried any other product from the line. This sample was the first one.

   

   The cream has a very light texture and scent. The scent fades as you massage the cream. I like the light texture of this cream. It does not feel heavy and absorbs easily. I applied a few dots on my face and neck and spread it outwards. I rinsed it out the next morning. The good thing I noticed whenever I rinse it out in the morning was how soft my skin felt even if I use a facial wash. It did not trigger my face to produce more oil during daytime but this will be a good cream for people with dry skin. For oily skin, I would suggest a dot size amount at night after toner. This is a good product to try out this cold season or if you are living in a winter wonderland.

PROS:

- a little goes a long way

- moisturizing

- makes skin soft

- has a subtle scent

- light texture

- not sticky

CONS:

- may be too moisturizing for oily skin

- did break me out a little

- a bit pricey (regular size)

   This product is good for people with normal to dry skin. It did caused breakout in my case maybe because it is not for my skin type. But I can say it is mild because I never had redness nor itchiness. If it did not caused any breakouts I will purchase the regular size. The verdict: 3.5 out of 5!!!

Mini Review: Etude Milky You One Step Cleansing Foam

   I am back with another mini review and this time it is about Etude's Milky You One Step Cleansing Foam. This product is a dual functioning facial cleanser that can be used for makeup and facial cleansing. This packet is good for almost a week of usage (if used once daily). I used this as my night time cleanser because I use my Innisfree facial wash during daytime. 

   One thing common among samples of Korean products is that the back part is entirely written in Hangul. The actual sizes of their products are entirely a different story. Some have and some have no English translation. One good thing about Etude is that they have English translation on every actual sized product (on the box most of the time). The pictures above are the sample and actual size (150 ml) of the product. 

   This facial wash is white with a runny consistency. It smells like coconut but not very noticeable. I wonder why it does not smell like milk at all. The consistency of this facial wash is not good for a tube container to hold the product because there is a tendency to leak especially if it is not securely shut. IMO it would have been better in a bottle or in a tube with screw cap instead. The actual size costs PhP 428 in stores. 

   You're aware how your skin (especially hands) feels like after rinsing a body wash right? It's smooth and soft and you feel like there's still some product left because of the smoothness you feel right? That was how my hands felt after rinsing this product off my face and hands. To be honest, it was the first time I felt that after using a facial wash. I just love the feeling. After each use, I did not feel any tightness unlike other facial wash and the disturbing excess oil on my face were completely gone. I was not able to try its effects on my skin with make up. By the way, when using this to remove makeup, you should apply this on dry skin. But I would rather use it the normal way. I have a make up remover anyway. 

   I recommend this facial wash for people with normal to dry skin. It provides a right amount of moisturization for those skin type. It feels light and not tight after rinsing. People like me with oily skin and combination skin types can also use this of course. I have not experienced any breakout nor irritation during the entire time I have used this. I may opt to buy the full size but I guess I will opt to have the cleansing foam instead because it is in a bottle container and is a couple of bucks cheaper. I give this facial wash a 4 out of 5 score!!!

Etude Color Pop Shine Tint Mini Review

  Hello December!!! Done with your Christmas list? I haven't finished mine yet. Still thinking of something to add. Today, here's something you may want to add to your list. Something cute and handy. Something affordable. Something you can wish to be given to you during your office or school Christmas party as a gift. The one I am talking about is Etude's Color Pop Mini Tint!

   

   

   According to the Etude House website, the Color Pop Shine Tint is a 3-in-1 magic gloss tint that glides on in a perfect combination of smoothness and shine, with a lip stain formula that provides a vivid color and long lasting shine. This tint was first sold in 7g size. I am not very certain when Etude released the mini version. The regular sized ones cost PhP 478 each and the mini ones at PhP 148 each. I am not a fan of this tint line from Etude before the minis. Because aside from the fact that I find it unreasonable for my budget, I already have the Fresh Cherry tints. I was offered the mini versions by the ever-friendly people at Etude SM Fairview because they knew how addicted I am to their lip products. They knew the lip care shelves were the first one I will check out. At that time I was on a limited budget so this was a perfect thing to offer me.

   The packaging of both regular and mini tints are the same simple white bottle with doe foot applicator. The mini has this cuteness factor and budget-friendly appeal that convinced me to try it. PhP148 is reasonable enough to say it is affordable based on Etude tints' price range of 300-500 a piece. These tints are available in a number of shades (as shown in the picture above) I just tried half of it. They are so tiny the 3 bottles I have can fit my small palm. The ones I bought were in shades of pink and orange. The orange is a vivid orange one. The pinks looks almost the same but have different effect on my lips. P10 is lighter and more natural while P9 is a bit deep but not vivid pink. These tints (again) may or may not appear exactly as the swatches in the stores. It is advisable to try them out on your lips (just do it properly, do not directly apply the doe foot on your lips as they are testers) not on your skin. It does not guarantee to have the same effect on your lips. Prove it yourself! The idea of applying it on your hand only won't give you a 100% guaranteed result. These tints are buildable. A swipe or two is enough. Size...it is small yet considering how pigmented these cuties are, you don't have to worry that it easily ran out. It stays on your lips in a subtle way after eating or drinking. Price... affordable right? So with a PhP300 budget you can have 2 shades of your preference instead of just 1. When you run out of your favorite shade buying (without breaking your budget) is a breeze. These tints are not that drying on the lips but I always apply a lip balm once the tint dries so my lips are always moisturized. The color does not fill or set on the lines on my lips after eating. It fades gradually. 

PROS:

- affordable

- cute and very handy

- many shades to choose from

- pigmented

- available in stores

- not drying on lips

- not sticky

CONS:

- not long lasting

   The Color Pop Tint minis are suitable for teens starting to wear lip colors and for the ladies who want to try out different shades of tints without worrying about the price. This is a nice gift suggestion don't you think? Just try out the testers first and remember the code of our preferred shade *evil tempting grin* before you add 'em onto your list okay? These little cuties deserve a 4 out 5 score!

Etude Wonder Pore Toner Review

   Happy weekend everyone! Today I will review one of Korea's well-loved toners- Etude's Wonder Pore Freshner. This toner is one of the few products on the Wonder Pore line. The Wonder Pore toner I bought from Margarita Shop was the latest edition. It has 10 claims now instead of 7.

   Let me start off with the packaging and inclusion:

   

   The one I bought was the big bottle which contains 500 ml of the product. It's got a mild fresh scent. This product is huge and took a lot of space in my cabinet but what the hell it's gigantically cute. It is also available in 250 ml but buying the big one is more practical because it won't cost you twice. It is stored in a blue plastic box with cute details about the toner (most of it are written in Hangul but there's English stuff written as well). The big size includes a free 50pcs cotton pads to apply the toner with. I seldom use it. I prefer cotton balls instead. The back portion of the bottle and box of cotton are in Hangul unfortunately. The bottle has this blackhead meter of some sort...so cute! The manufacturing date's stamped at the bottom. The 500 ml bottle has a pump dispenser while the 250 ml has the usual spout or whatever you call the hole. There is also a mist type of this product in stores. But you can just transfer the contents in an atomizer if you want to use this as a mist during the day. I haven't tried it though and have no plan trying it. I find it unnecessary to use a mist. 

   Now to make things easier, we will go through each of the products claims and let's see if it does its purpose okay? I have been using this toner for almost 3 weeks so I guess it's time to attest its claims.Please note that the effects of this product may or may not be the same as mine. 

DEEPLY CLEANSES PORES- in an average way I would have to agree to that. I use this day and night and is effective in removing dirt especially those nasty traces of make up. 

MINIMIZE APPEARANCE OF PORES- after almost 3 weeks of using this toner I noticed my pores got smaller. Especially every morning I notice my pores are not that huge anymore.

CONTROL A LARGE AMOUNT OF SEBUM- really? I don't think so. It does regulate sebum production but in a big way? Next please.....

MOISTURIZE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF SKIN- this toner has alcohol BUT I have not experienced any dryness, sting nor irritation. It's like I am using an alcohol-free toner. It balances my skin and I love it.

COMPLETE SMOOTH GLASS-LIKE TEXTURE- hmmmmm....with the help of other skin care products this is possible.

BALANCES SKIN'S IDEAL pH LEVEL- I really can't tell because I don't have an apparatus to test this claim. But I find this toner mild and may suit any skin type.

REFINE SKIN TONE- in a way yeah my skin tone has improved (not with JUST using this product alone of course) and the red spots has lessen.

KEEP THE ELASTICITY OF PORES- uhmmm...what does Etude House mean by that?

REMOVE THE SKIN SURFACE'S DEAD SKIN CELLS- in a way yes because it removes the dirt on face. I notice this effect during night time because it is when we remove all the excess dirt and stuff that has accumulated the entire day.

CLEANSE PORE INSIDES WITH COOLING EFFECT- I agree. This is refreshing to use but not much cooling sensation. 

   After writing my opinions about its claims, again, it may or may not be the same as other people's views and experience. But all in all, I love this toner because it is big and worth the money. It may contain alcohol but it is still mild on skin. It does not sting at all. I can attest to this because I have used quite a number of toners (with and without alcohol content). It targets people with oily skin but this (IMO) is also suitable for people with normal to combination skin. 

PROS:

- mild

- controls/regulates sebum production

- minimizes pores (with continued use)

- refreshing on skin

- no sticky after feel

- deep cleanses

- refines skin tone ( in conjunction with other products)

- big bottle

- lasts a long time 

- pump is convenient to use

CONS:

- expensive

- may consume space in one's cabinet

- cotton pad included is not that durable

   I am still keen to try out the foam wash and clay mask from the Wonder Pore line. I am still in search of the perfect products for my war against oil and pores. It's not that the others I have here are ineffective. They are effective. Oh well, maybe it's just my insatiability that's causing this quest. Once I get a hold of the other Wonder Pore babies, I will review them right away. My score this giant is a 5 out of 5! 

Etude Fresh Cherry Tint Review

  Today I will share with you my review about Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint (red and hot pink). These 2 are the very first ones I own because I always envy those Korean actresses' cute pink lips and was hoping to achieve it. This review is like way overdue because I had these two for quite sometime already. According to Etude's website, this tint promotes moist and shiny cherry lips with a creamy smooth texture. 

   This tint comes with a box when you purchase it. This is available in 4 colors: red, soft pink, hot pink, and peach. They also have 2 limited edition colors: orange and purple. It has a doe foot applicator to apply the product with. Its texture is somewhat watery and has a fruity scent. Please note that tints (and lipsticks) may or may not appear the same as the swatches. Honestly, I am not sure if it is caused by ones lip pigmentation, acidity, or genes. That is why I usually buy lip colors in the stores to personally try it out first instead of relying on pictures. The Fresh Cherry Tint costs PhP 348 a piece when you buy it in stores. 

   Above are the swatches of the 2 shades I have, red and hot pink. They look entirely different on my hand and on my lips right? I applied the pink 3 times so the color will show (like I mentioned, don't just rely on pictures) and the red twice. The red looks a bit pinkish on the picture but it is actually cherry red. When applying it more than once, you must wait for the first coat to dry up first so the next layer will easily blend and build. I apply 3-4 coats of the pink one whenever I use it so that it will appear really pink on my lips. I always apply a lip balm or gloss on top when the product's dry so that my lips will feel moist. The red shade can compliment any skin tone unlike the hot pink. Note that I am referring only to this line of tint. The 3rd picture is after washing with soap and after eating and drinking. The shade I have on my lips there's red. As you can see, the tint is still visible on both lips and hand. You can swipe just once when doing touch-ups and you're good to go. 

PROS:

- lasts for 2-3 hours after eating/drinking without touch-ups

- buildable

- dries fast (if you want 2 or more coats)

- a bottle can last long 

- affordable

- can be easily used on gradient lips

- size is travel-friendly

CONS:

- quite drying on lips, needs lip balm/gloss on top

- the cap cracks 

- not very pigmented

   I use these tints when I don't want so much fuzz on my look and have no time to carry a make up kit. I can easily apply it on my lips without standing in front of a mirror. I would recommend this tint for ladies who are looking for a basic lip color product and girls starting to build their make up arsenal. Again, note that the results may vary depending on ones lips. I will always have to say that. There are many lip tints in the market waiting for me to try so I have no plans of repurchasing this line again. My score for the Fresh Cherry Tint is a 3 out of 5!!!
