Hiiii! :) There's only a week left before Christmas! Yay!
Blogging again because I have free time now. *-* Finally done catching up on all the Running Man episodes that I missed. Now I'm waiting for ep 50 of Appa Eodiga to be uploaded. XD So sad because season 1 of Appa Eodiga will come to an end next month and there are chances that they'll change the main cast. I'm gonna miss the kids! I hope they won't leave and just add new members instead. ;___;
Anyway, Etude House released their Holiday collection, Princess Etoinette 2, last November 26, I got the perfume and these lippies a week after that. Decided to post about the lippies first. :)
This perfumed smooth lipstick delivers a surge of moisture and a soft shimmering flush, giving your lips a gorgeous look.
Even the box it comes with has a pretty design. *-*
PBE102 - Moon Flower Under the stars (didn't get this one)
PPK005 - Precious blood of Versailles
PRD302 - Sip of Wine
The only difference in design in last year and this year is the color. lol If only they came up with something different but the packaging is still very pretty nonetheless and much more elegant looking now. Last year was pink and gold. This year it's white and silver.
Love that "E" logo engraved on the bullet. *-*
I made an "are you serious?!!" face the first time I saw the bullets. The small glitters are very noticeable and I personally don't like lipsticks with glitters, I feel like it's more suitable for kids. XD
I also got a lipstick from last year, the shade I got was PRD301 and it only has faint shimmers unlike now. I planned to post the review on that shade a few months back but I totally forgot about it because I was so busy. OTL I love that shade. It's beautiful. *-*
PRD302 is red with a hint of orange
PPK005 is fuchsia pink
PRD302 is more pigmented than PPK005. It's pretty sheer in first swipe but the color is definitely buildable. PKK005 is extremely sheer when swatched on the hand, I actually swiped it a couple of times just to make it show on the photo. As for the glitters, as you can see, the glitters are also more visible when swiped on the hand and not that noticeable when applied on the lips. What a relief! Both shades show much better on the lips too.
First, this is just an average lipstick with a very adorable packaging. If you're looking for some quality lipstick then this isn't for you, unfortunately. However, if you're a sucker for a lipstick with cute packaging then go to the nearest Etude House and grab this asap and display it in your vanity table or if you don't have Etude in your place, you can purchase it at your favorite Korean cosmetic online shop. I just felt like I had to say that first. ^^;;;
Most Etude House lip products are matte finish so it can be a bit drying. Etoinette lipsticks are different, it's moisturizing, creamy and just glides on your lips. But still, like any other lip product, this won't look good if you have chapped lips so make exfoliating and moisturizing your lips a habit if you have dry/chapped lips. It has a faint rosy scent that disappears when applied on the lips. Idk if it's just me but I think the scent from last year was stronger than now. I can barely smell the rosy scent on the new lipstick. If you own all three shades it can be hard to tell which shade is which unless you look at the bottom of the lipstick.
This leaves a tint behind after hours of wearing it but the longevity isn't very impressive, lasts for about 2-3 hours w/o eating and drinking. You will need to touch up after that. If you want something that lasts for a loooooooong time, I'd suggest you to get Clio's Lipnicure, don't forget to purchase the remover though because it's difficult to remove!
I can't really think of anything else to add here, I think I have pretty much said the important points?
To summarize everything in one sentence.. This is an average lipstick with a pretty packaging. lol
I'm still very happy I got these though because I love Etude House. It's a good addition to my lip product collection. *-*
Pros:
BEAUTIFUL PACKAGING (i had to use all caps)
Affordable
Moisturizing
Creamy
Glides on smoothly
Buildable color
Rosy scent
not shimmery when applied on the lips
Cons:
average lasting power
only 3 shades to choose from
limited edition

The Winter Princess Etoinette Collection is only available in Korea as of now. It will be released in other countries soon. I got mine at Beautynetkorea. Got it a week after the whole collection was released. Their Christmas promo is still up, go check it out. Click HERE.
I also got the perfume, it's actually the first one on my list because the packaging of the perfume is so pretty! I won't be purchasing anything else from this collection, not really interested in the other products they released. I got the brushes, blusher and lipstick from last year's collection and I was disappointed with the blusher. XD
All of us should save money because Etude House will most probably release something in February. lol They released the Sweet Recipe collection last Feb. I'm looking forward to what kind of concept they'll have in their next make up collection, I bet it's gonna be cute. *-*
Have you tried the Crystal Shine Lips lipstick? Which product in the Winter Princess Etoinette collection do you want to try the most? :D
Are your wallets/bank accounts ready for this? Are you guys ready for this? Are youuuu?
If you're a fan of Etude House then I'm sure you guys can still recall
that they released their first Princess Etoinette collection early November
last year. If you missed it then click HERE. I remember telling you a few posts back that I'm really excited to see their holiday/winter collection for 2013. And finally! The day I've been waiting for has finally arrived, Etude House released there Princess Etoinette Season 2 Winter Collection today.
Let's start, shall we? /wink/

25,000 won
The most expensive product in this line. It has the same packaging as the Etoinette blusher, highlighter and powder from last year.
You can use this powder on your cheeks, eyes, body and lips.
13,000 won
This also has the same packaging as last year, the only difference is that last year was in the color pink. I own the red shade from Etoinette last year and I really like it. I wonder if the red shade in this collection is just the same as the red one in the last collection.
Swatches
There were more shades to choose from last year. This year, they only have 3 shades:
PBE102 moon flower under the stars
PRD302 A sip of Wine
PPK005 Versailles Noble Blood
PRD302 A sip of Wine
PPK005 Versailles Noble Blood
Not sure if that's the correct translation of the shades but don't judge me, I can't read hangul and using google translate isn't much help either. lol

8,000 won
This one is new, they don't have a hair mist last year.
8,000 won
They don't have a hand cream last year either. A lot of korean brands has released hand creams for the holiday season.
They have 2, White Peony and Pink Rose. I bet both of this smells amazing.
11,000 won
The candles they released last year were smaller and I've also seen other brands released scented candles in their holiday collection. Not gonna lie, I'm actually tempted to get a candle from Innisfree. XD but both of these candles from etude seems nice too. *o*
Same scent with the hand creams, White Peony and Pink Rose.
5,000 won
They're having a promo in Korea rn. You'll get this mirror if you buy the perfume and all over powder.
This one isn't really from this collection but this was also released today.
Another limited edition palette from Etude House. I want! *o* I think the shades in the And Rose Flowering Eyes were prettier though. Too bad it's not available anymore.. Etude should restock the Flowering Eyes! ;___;
1 - So Hot Play
2 - So Chic Play
I like So Chic Play.
You can get all these at:
Beautynetkorea (available now plus they have a Christmas event rn)
Do you like this new collection? or do you think last year was better?
and if you were going to choose between White Peony and Pink Rose, which one will you choose? *o*
All photos are from Etude House and were edited by me.

There's something that got me really excited this morning. It's.. ETUDE HOUSE PRINCESS ETOINETTE line. omg I'm telling you guys these products are the cutest and so princessy too! I want to try all of them already especially the brushes! This is actually the first time that I got more excited on the brushes than the lippies. lol I just love lip products so much so it's a bit unusual for me to not go gaga whenever I see pretty lippies with cute packaging. lol
I wanna show you guys all these products in Etude House Princess Project.
I wanna show you guys all these products in Etude House Princess Project.
Let's start with the brushes! I really can't wait to get these brushes.
What's in the brush set:
1. Lip Gradiation Brush
2. Soft Touch Powder/Blush Brush
3. Last Touch Fan Brush
4. Pouch
The brush set is 25,000 won while the Princess Etoinette Rose Brush is 10,000 won. They should have included the rose brush in the set too! The Princess Etoinette Rose Brush is quite similar to Sephora's flower but this one is fuller(?) AND 1000x percent cuter. lol you guys already know that I'm a sucker for anything cute, right?
Princess Etoinette Shiny Tear Liners Set
This is 10,000 won. This is a set too. You get a liquid eyeliner and a teardrop eyeliner. I think this is really cheap considering you'll get 2 products because they sell the teardrop liner for 6,000 won. I think I'm going to purchase this but the thing is I can't decide which one to buy. Any suggestions guys?
Princess Etoinette Heart Blusher
This is 25,000 won, same price with the brush set. In my opinion this one is really expensive. I think what made it expensive is the packaging. lol I don't really use blush because I have rosy cheeks but I really want to try this! This is just so princessy and normally blushes like this is actually shaped like balls but Etude came up with hearts, isn't that cute?
Princess Etoinette Highlighter
This is also 25,000 won. It has the same packaging with the blush. The only difference is that the hearts are silver(?) It also comes with a puff. I haven't tried using a highlighter before and I don't think I'm going to purchase this one. Maybe if it's cheaper then I'll buy one. XD
Princess Etoinette Crystal Powder
This is 22,000 won. Same packaging, different color.
Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips
each lipstick costs 13,000 won. there are 8 shades and the packaging is really nice. I'll just get the PK001 (for the sake of the packaging lol) because I think this is just similar to the 'Dear My blooming lips talk' lipsticks.
The other products are bar soap (11,000), candle(9,000 won), mirror (5,000)and comb (1,500).
Princess Etoinette Bubble Bath Bar 50g x 3pc
Princess Etoinette Lovely Perfumed Candle 30g x 3pc
Princess Etoinette Mirror
Princess Etoinette Hair Brush
I want all of these. The new Etude House pink birds are so lucky because they will get to try these products for free. lol Someone with a kind soul plese help this poor student get all these before Christmas! LOL
So, which one are you guys going to buy?
cr: Etude House
