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!!!
