Hi Everyone!!!!
Has
it ever happened to you that you wanna a pair of sunglasses so bad that
you wanna buy lipsticks just to get it? Yeah it freaking happened to
me... Why Etude House? Why???????
If you are a regular of the Etude House website, you must have come across the Dear My Blooming Lips-talk Chiffon Launching Special Limited Box and for this collection, Etude House collaborated with Optical W. Only 1000 of these collection boxes were on sale. I don't know why I fall for such gigs. I also needed new shades as well and God knows I love Korean style sunglasses.
So,
two versions of the My Sweet Box have been launched, each came with 2
different shades of lipsticks from the Dear My Blooming Lips-talk
Chiffon line and a free pair of sunglasses.
Dear My Sweet Box #1 consists of:
-1 PK 027 Pit-a-pat Chiffon Pink
-1 BE 108 Hug Chiffon Beige
-1 Optical W Hibari Gray Lens
Dear My Sweet Box #2 consists of:
-1 PK 029 Addictive Chiffon Pink
-BE 109 Flutter Chiffon Beige
-1 Optical W Hibari Silver Mirror
Although
the first box's lipsticks appealed to me more than the second one for
their lower pigmentation and since I've been weirdly surprised by Etude
House's lipsticks before, I still went for the second box 'cause I
wanted the all-black shades, not the one with pink side arms. As a 25+
-year old, going around with baby pink temple side arms felt kinda
weird. (:P)
What it is
No sebum powder, contains 80% mineral that makes skin look clear and matte without clumps.

That song is groovy though. It's actually been remade from a demo by Ke$ha. OMG
Color System
The
color system from Etude House is a bit deceptive though. BE109 and
PK029 looked really intimidating on the ad, but turned out they were not
that dark.

What does it hide? |
The
set is actually offered in that cute pink Dear y Sweet Box. I
remembered feeling actually awkward at the Customs when they read that
out lout. I guess the officers were on the verge of laughing at me. But
nevermind....Inside the set were the 2 Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk
lipsticks enclosed in their own little boxes and the sunglasses. The
lipsticks were so adorable. I guess Etude House stopped doing those
ribbon-in-the-middle kind of tubes but they still maintained the baby
pink color.

My Thoughts
These
lipsticks with the new formula are dope. They are more on the matte
side but they are at the same time so creamy. If you have dry lips and
don't use a lip balm, it can dry out a bit. But otherwise, I like those 2
shades as matte lipsticks. I am not a very matte makeup lover but these
made me fall in love with the matte side of lipsticks.
Let's start with PK 029 Addictive Chiffon Pink.
It
is a gorgeous and chic berry pink color. I usually don't like berry
lipsticks. But, that lipstick grew on me and I gradually started liking
it, especially when I got myself a matching fuschia cheongsam for the
recent Chinese Lunar New Year. I wore that at night. So the lipstick did
not look too crazy on my face as much as I thought it would during the
day. If you are like me, that is shy to wear a striking color during the
day, then use it at night or use it to create the gradation effect. It
works just fine. IF you want to rock a full lips. Be sure to use a brush
or a lip liner. This lipstick smudges as hell but last very much longer
than the other lipstick as it leaves quite the stain.
As for BE 109 Flutter Chiffon Beige.
This
is so far my favourite go-to lipstick at the moment, especially for
work. It is a nude beige kind of color. It looks very natural on the
lips. It makes me look professional and confident. hahaha. Not kidding.
It is applied very effortlessly, like butter. I mean, if you are in a
hurry in the morning and have to apply lipstick within a second, just
slap that one on your lips and you will look great. Although it's summer
now in Mauritius, that color is not very suitable. That shade, I admit,
gives out a more autumn or winter kind of mood. I usually prefer an
orange, pink or coral lipstick when I go out here. However, I still
reach for that one, whenever I have an important event or meeting coming
up during the day. Thumbs up to that one.
Aren't they sexy? |

In
general, both lipsticks are creamy and glides smoothly and perfectly on
the lips. Highly pigmented. They can dry the lips a little bit. But
they don't feel like dough sitting on your lips. They both are chic and
dark colors but they are not that intimidating ( I get intimidated by
dark colors). These lipsticks are perfect if you want to transition from
girly pale colors to more mature and dark colors like I am.
Now, let's make a little sum-up of pros and cons about the lipsticks only, forget about them being from a set
Pros:
-Creamy
-Matte
-Pigmented but not intimidating
-Effortless application
-Variety of colors
-Cute packaging
Cons:
-Can be a little drying
As for the sunglasses,
Optical W Hibari Silver Mirror, they are completely dope. I love them.
They are totally the asian trend nowadays. People often mistake me for a
Chinese tourist lately around here, which is kind of funny and I know
why since I've spotted Chinese tourists wearing those reflective shades.
But yeah, those sunglasses have actually been popular among my friends
with everyone wanting to pose with them and look cool. haha. Otherwise,
they do help protect my eyes from the Sun and are a good match with the
summer vibes here.
I
gotta say I love that set. The colors of the lipsticks match my face
and my skintone overall even if I didn't get to actually choose the
shades and that from the color system proposed by Etude House, these
might not have been my preferred choices. But I totally love the
creaminess and matte combos of those lipsticks which makes them my
preferred lipsticks for the summer.
Stay Beautiful and Sweet

It looks like a good choice of lipstick brand. They have put up a nice offer with lipsticks and glasses in a single box. I really liked some of the colours of the lipsticks. Where can I buy them?
