[ REVIEW ] Color Lips-fit in BE101 by ETUDE HOUSE

My NYX butter lip cream is almost gone, and I guess that buying another same color is too boring. As long as it has mixture of pink and nude, duh... I guess I'm not into it again..
So now, I try to get a fresh color, suitable for summer, orangee~ Wew..

 

I have always wanting to buy this!! Like heck!!! This line is sooooo tempting! They have many colors and it's really nice when you apply it, they said.. I've seen a lot of reviews about this and I guess purchasing 1 piece is fine.. I have a bunch of lip stain and I don't know when it will finish.. I just can't wait! ETUDE HOUSE at least launch a new product, mostly lip stain like two or three times a year..
You can't just simply buy everything without considering the old one right?

Let's check it out!

As usual, pretty box, pretty packaging, everything is always pretty... The container is made of.. plastic? LOL I always mention  plastic wherever I'm writing, I just have no idea what it is in English, but it's plastic and it's really handy!

You see the word "See-thru" ? Right... I just noticed that and I'm a bit confused of what that means? So, it's not really cover all part of your lips perfectly? Like, leaving a blank / transparent space, I mean you do try to spread it well, but then......
Okay..

This is a revolutionary liquid type Lipstick that mostly glides onto lips with its vivid color and finishes off with a weightless powdery texture

(Direction)

2. Apply smoothly with tip. Lightly dab onto center of lips for gradation. Delicately apply for full cover.
3. Apply a layer of Color Lips-fit WH901 after color for moist gloss
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Everything is fascinating and I think I won't regret, instead, I will buy more of this..!
So, it comes with a brush and actually I thought at first that actually it's more like bright orange instead of pale orange, the liquid said so can you see? Hehe~ I thought the seller mix the bottle up randomly -_- duhh..

And it's actually true, it is indeed like an orange color..

By the way, the liquid smells like a candy. Cherry? Yeah right.. typical ETUDE HOUSE probably.. The texture is a bit creamy but not too concentrated and or gel-like..
So, based on the pictures above, I just drew one layer three times.. And when you rub it off...

It's a bit waterproof I guess.. I tried to pour some water and rub it lightly but it didn't disappear.
AND... it still smells like a cherry even when it's already dry.. So,, imagine if it's on your lips.. Hahaha! I imagine dirty things.. Hahaha
But, it's really typical for ETUDE HOUSE. Most of their lip products do smell like a cherry or fruits. It's really fresh!

Put it on!

Because of the light, it might looks like I was a bit sick because of the pale lips, but actually it's this color, and actually it's really nice. Unexpected.
It's suitable for lip concealer, like when you want to make gradient lips, this is just more than best! You can apply the bright bright bright orange for inner lips. They have it from the Vivid Pop Stick line..
Note: It's not glossy, so it doesn't leave a lip mark on a cup when you are drinking

PROS:
1. Smells nice! Fresh!
2. Affordable depends on where you buy it! Hahaha
3. Covers well when you spread it evenly, even when the color is pale like this. Pigmented
4. (This color) works as a concealer
5. Handy bottle!

CONS:
1. Again, it's not really a CONS, but you have to apply it in front of a mirror, otherwise you can't cover all over parts, or... You can draw out of the lip line..
2. Dries a bit a slow.. You have to wait for half a minute..


DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Yes!!!!!

[ REVIEW ] Skin-fit Foundation in N02 Light Beige by ETUDE HOUSE and Comparison with Dior Foundation

Actually my Mom bought this foundation for herself, based on my recommendation. I know.. It seems that she was forced to buy it.. haha.. Read the story here !

My Mom was not really satisfied with this product because the shade is brighter than her skin tone, so it cannot covers well, especially because my Mom has a bigger pores than mine. She gave it to straight away after first trial.. Tsk tsk tsk..

This is the first foundation I really like! Note that it's slightly different with BB cream. In fact, maybe it is not even a BB cream. BB cream has a heavy textures, more like torture, haha kidding.. Just.. the feeling is different when apply those two..
And moreover, I don't have a CC cream, and I saw a lot of videos where they put CC cream as a first base of foundation, and then putting BB cream as another layer.

Continue talking, below......

ETUDE HOUSE
Skin Fit Foundation SPF 30 / PA++ Light Beige N02

This is a fitting foundation that lightly glides onto skin for a clean and smooth look

(Direction) After gently spreading a certain amount onto skin, lightly pat to finish
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

It comes in a tube. Sparkling dull white tube to be exact, which I find it really cute and pretty! Princess' character right?
It also has a pump on top, unlike the BB cream which is at the bottom.

Before deciding to buy this foundation, my Mom usually used Dior (even until today). My sister gave her last year and she really likes it.. And unfortunately, as time went by, the foundation was almost gone.. So she was frustrated to find the new one..

Comparison

 For your information, Dior is not available anymore in Indonesia. The city where I stay, Surabaya, they have it before in one of the shopping mall, but then no more.. The same situation goes to Bali, where my sister stays.. She said that it's not available anymore for Indonesian, like what? Why?
That's why I told my Mom about this as an alternative, and it's cheaper some more..

This review might be quite long, if you can't take it anymore, please press an exit button, hahaha..
The first demonstration was done with my Mom as a performer, and then next is me..

My Mom is a simple woman, so she doesn't really go into a hectic steps of doing a skincare after shower especially, unlike me.. hahaha.. So usually after shower, she sometimes cleanses her face with toner and then straight away to foundation..
Since my Mom has an allergy of certain food, this is just... a temptation for her.. She wants to eat something badly, but have to hold herself back. If she just doesn't care and eat, then she has to drink a medicine. So my Mom is actually looking for a foundation which can covers imperfection / 'pimple' of allergy correctly and she thinks that Dior is way too good for her! Perfect..

So for a testing, I asked my Mom to use the 2 foundations, Dior and ETUDE HOUSE and then go out and expose it to sunlight.
You can see the difference here. Besides the lighting, it also shows that for ETUDE HOUSE, it makes her face a bit pale but still brighter, while Dior matched her skin tone and covered her imperfection, which was mostly on her cheeks.

About the texture....

The light one is ETUDE HOUSE and the brown one is Dior.
Based on my observation, Dior is a bit heavy and thick, but it blends well with the respective skin tone, like my Mom's. The thicker the cream, sometimes it will be too hard to spread it wider. While for ETUDE HOUSE, as the cream matches my skin tone (my hand), it blends really well and both of them dry quickly once you apply.

Foundation is a foundation, for me.. So I need another layer to cover imperfection and darkness on my face, and finally I found the most suitable one, out of these 3 below!

ETUDE HOUSE BB Cream Bright Fit -------- Garnier BB Cream Skin Perfector -------- ETUDE HOUSE Precious Mineral Cushion

Which one do you think? LOL

Hehe, it's actually depends on what you are going to do that day. If you just need a thick coverage, means attending a short event, the first BB cream will be good. Or, if you just need a simple and light coverage, Garnier is good to go. And, if you are going to be out for a long time, I mean outdoor, the cushion is good to go because it's SPF 50.

For me, honestly, I used to apply Garnier Perfector! Because it's light, and brighten my complexion. In Indonesia, the shade available is only 1, and it matches my skin perfectly. Not too white, not too dark..

Here's the demonstration... But, without the perfector.

...Bare face...

AFTER

I really love how it blends with my skin and covers my imperfection like pimple marks and so on, but this is just foundation! But it has a brightening effect
I hardly describe anything about this, and I think I should recommend it to others who has similar skin tone as mine,


PROS:
1. The texture is not too heavy as a foundation. Even lighter than BB cream
2. It's affordable and cheaper cheaper cheaper than Dior!
3. Blends with my skin and has a good coverage, but not for my Mom
4. Pretty bottle!
5. It's so light! So handy! You can bring it anywhere, and it is suitable to be in your bag too

CONS: 
1. This is not really a CONS, but, I guess this foundation is suitable for teenagers only, around 17 - before 30 years old. And if your pores are quite big, I don't think this will works well for you. But if you insist to buy this, I can recommend you to buy perfector to refine or cover the pores
