I think this is a very "calmed" EH's product packaging, comparing to how pink and ribbon-y the other collections are, it suits my taste more than the other with typical Etude House design! 

You have to turn the cap to open the product, not at all revolutionary, but it's so effective! One problem I always encounter with lip balms is when I tossed it to my bag and the cap get loose and totally ruined the product - I'm pretty sure it happened to every girl. So, a cap with a retractable cap? Oh God yes! 

Like most tint / balm product, this product is smooth, not as pigmented as lipstick and pretty much more moisturizing than regular lip product. Though it is said "balm" on the name, I don't think it's enough to make this a replacement to your regular lip balms. 

It has a natural shiny finish, like when you top your lips with lip balm, exactly like that. It has a sweet berry scent, not a strong one though and it slightly lingers to the lips. 

Now, about the "tint" side, I do think it stains the lips a littleee bit. Even though mine is the darkest shade, you can see the swatch too, it doesn't swatched as dark as the bullet look. And on the lips, it won't stained crazily too, I still need to watch and maintain the shade like on every 2 hours. Probably the lighter color will stay on the lips much less? 

This product is great for people with dryer lips, still need lip balm tho! Or for those who feel lipsticks are to restraining and high maintenance, this might be the answer for a little bit color on your face. And just remember with you can make this shade goes on more sheer with lip balms. 

I like this product, they're smooth, moisturizing, the pigmentation isn't bad, and the cap, best lip balm packaging design ever! I can compare this to Aritaum's Honey Melting Balm, they have almost the same consistency, though Aritaum's have a larger shade collection so you can probably opt between and look for shade you like. I found that Aritaum's didn't have a darker shade, so that's why I wanted to give this a go! 

I prefer to apply the product heavily, but it's totally up to you :) I think either way will look good! 

Thankyou so much for reading! Have a great weekend!

REVIEW : Missha's Stay All Day Stick Eyes #2 and #6

Introducing one of quite new Missha's new product, "Stay All Day" Stick Eyes. It's been out for a while and I've had this for a while, but it's just now that I realized I haven't review these ._.

      BRAND      

Missha

      PRODUCT NAME      
"Stay All Day Stick Eyes"

      type of product      

stick eye shadow 

      shade      

#2 Beige / Chocolate
#3 Plum / Violet

      PRICE      

KRW 8.800
(refill) 4.500

      sites      
missha site (korean)

I was taken interest to these because of its cheaper price comparing to other similar products by other brand. Recently I see some Korean brands coming out with a new stick eye shadow products, and seeing that this product is also a unique one I just can't stop myself from buying it. This product all come with 2 shades on each side, each shade compliment each other. 

The stick shadows are retractable and the stick shadow is shaped like a highlighter pen, slanted on both side. I personally think the bullet shape is perfect for everything, turn in to the side and you can get a more detailed application, and the wider side for when you're filling in the lids. 

#2 Chocolate / Beige shade is shimmer vanilla beige and brown taupe shimmer.

#6 Violet / Plum shade is purple taupe and deep plum, both shimmer. 

Plus! It can be refilled! When one of the shades are all used, you don't have to buy the 2 again, but just pick the refill for the specific shades. 

In the other hand, the product itself isn't a lot, it's like only 2cm long. (AND I have this problem where the bullet keep coming off the tube ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ) 

Now, this is probably the LESS creamy stick eyeshadow I ever have. It doesn't feel like it when I swatched it, but when it goes on the lid, it's definitely tucking my lid quite harshly. The darker shades are better in texture, but definitely compared to other product I have it's still ranked the worst in creamy-ness. 

Other than that the pigmentation are great, and the lasting power is pretty awesome! Watch gif below :

The harshness doesn't mean that you can't work with it at all. Since the shades are definitely compatible with each other, it's easy to create a look out of this product. 

#2 Chocolate / Beige

#6 Plum / Violet 

I thought this product would be great for those one who just starting out on eyeshadows, since it came with 2 shades in one and are probably easier to work with, the harsh texture on the lid are probably hard to handle for first-timers. Since it's also sets up pretty quickly, blending is another problem I encounter while using this product. 

I don't recommend this for people with sensitive eyes. Well honestly I won't recommend this to anyone at all. 

Overall, other than its unique innovation and it's cheap price, I don't find other things that I like out of this product. The harsh texture is the biggest deal breaker for me, I was going to give this to my mom but I guess she'll hate it too. 

It does have a great lasting power and can get through water and rubbing, but seriously, taking hours to blend isn't making up all of that. 

But, the price point (KRW 8.800 per stick, and you got 2 shades) is pretty affordable, so it won't that huge of a loss if you do end up purchasing it, I don't like it but some probably love it. I say the risk isn't big. 

That's all folk for today's review, I'm feeling quite down lately. So, I'll end my post with this aja deh :
