Etude House Dear My Glass Tinting lipstick RD 304 review

Etude house is one of my favourite korean road shop makeup brand. I love the cute packaging, the quality and the affordable price tag.

I have been eyeing The Dear My Glass Tinting lipstick line for quite some time so when I spotted these on Jolse at sale I ordered one immediately ( I wished I had ordered more though 😖)


The concept of these lipsticks is unique.  You can create your own customized lipstick by  separately choosing the case and the lipstick bullet of your choice in the color & design you want 

There are 20 different cases in the line (matte and glossy ) along with 20 shades of lispticks

These lipsticks as the name suggests are for imparting  a tint on the lips. The formula is sheer and glossy


I chose Love flamingos case because I found the design to be super cute. As for the lipstick bullet I picked the shade RD304.

The lipstick case and bullet come in separate boxes, you have to fix the bullet in the case yourself ( its pretty easy )

The design is very sleek and pretty. Make sure you roll the lipstick all the way back in before placing the cap on top. (I damaged the lipstick due to my carelessness)

The bullet contains 3 gm of lipstick which is 0.5 gm less than standard lipstick. I am sad because I like the shade of this lipstick and I dont want to run out and happy at the same time because this means I might use up the whole bullet before it expires ( dilemma 😕)

One of the major drawback with moisturizing lipsticks is that they transfer easily. My trick to prevent smearing and smudging is to apply lipstick in the centre of the lips and then blend it out with my fingers that way I get tinted lips and the color does not transfer

I love sheer formulas as they give room to error and clumsy application 😂. This particular shade is somewhat between opague and sheer. The coverage is buildable. I personally prefer a single swipe of this lipstick as it gives my lips a wash of color without going too over the top.
 I have noticed that layering this lipstick accentuates texture on the lips in an unpleasant way. This formula has somewhat waxy/balmy feel to it. It glides on smoothly. I recommend storing this is in cool place like fridge in extremely hot weather because my bullet became very mushy at 40 C°
If you shy away from wearing bright/bold lip colours but still want to wear red I recommend you to try this out,

For me this lipstick has reached HG status and I have been reaching for this more often than my regular Wet N Wild MegaLast lipstick .

The lipsticks retail for 9.07 $ on jolse while the the cases are for 6.07 $ on Jolse . On a discount you can probably get this for about 12$. This is actually a little pricey for a lipstick but the case is actually very sturdy and high quality plus its kind of special edition

If you have nick for collecting cute things then you should probably add this to your collecting because the cases are super cute.

CELRANICO IT'S CHIC MATTE AND MOIST LIPSTICK REVIEW AND SWATCHES




I Love lipsticks . Even on days when I don't wear makeup I like to have a bit of color on my lips. They make my face look more lively and fresh. For me a lipstick should have three qualities
1. It should be pigmented
2.it should be long-lasting
3. It should have a comfortable formula
I tried out these cute and chic lipsticks by a Korean brand called CELRANICO and was amazed by their performance

Packaging:

the lipsticks came in a very secure cardboard box with the individual shades and their numbers marked on them


inside the slender cardboard box were housed the most luxuriously packaged gold case lipsticks. The lids on these lipsticks closes with a satisfying click so be assured the lipsticks won't make a mess in your purse. Plus the packaging is so sturdy that it wont break if you accidently drop them ( happens with me a lot)


What the brand has to say about them


CELRANICO It's Chic Matt & Moist Lipstick - The pretty lips even if you only wear it once. 11 colorations of paraben-free lipsticks that present moist and pretty lips at all times.
Texture - The soft feeling of use as if a primed was rubbed on by being differentiated with the previously - existent matte lipsticks.
No dryness - No dryness because of extracted vegetable oil ingredients from: chamomile flowers, olives, avocados, rose hip fruits, and Jojoba seed. The lips get moist the moment they come in contact with the lipstick
Colors 11 shades

[How to use] For a lighter shade, use a foundation or a powder. For a more intense color, fill lips fully with the lipstick to fit the lines of your lips. If you want a natural-looking finish, tap the inner sides of the lips and gradate to the outside.

Main Ingredients:
Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Onto the best part 😍. I was always under the impression that Korean lip products especially lipsticks have sheer pigmentation since most of Koreans like to wear gradient lips but boy I was wrong these lipsticks are packed with pigment. One swipe us enough to cover the whole lip completely( please note that I have pigmented lips)

these lipsticks have a matte finish but the formula is unlike anything I have tried out before. Its a soft matte light weight lipstick that feels super comfortable on the lips and keep the lips feeling hydrated and moisturizer. The texture does not accentuate dry parts or cracks on the lips. The bullet glides smoothly on the lips 👌


I tried out three lipstick shades from the range


RD 11
A beautiful cool red color which makes my teeth look white in contrast with the lipstick. This us a perfect lip color to rock when going on a date, or perhaps when you want to strike an impression

RB 02
you must know by now that I am a big fan of nude lipsticks or mlbb lipsticks so I was super happy when this lipstick shade turned out to be so close to my original lip color. I have definitely found my everyday holy grail lipstick guys. This is a rose brown lipsticks perfect shade which can be paired with any makeup look and use to create a gradient lip effect 😍

PK 01
and lastly a very vibrant pink lipstick. This is by far one of the most beautiful hot pink lipstick I own the color appeals for it self it bright and beautiful. It might not be an everyday color for some of you but the color sure is unique and pretty


here are the lipstick themselves and their pretty swatches



these lipsticks retail for 22$ at kbeautie website and at Celranico
