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!
