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. *-*

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
