ETUDE HOUSE Play 101 Pencil shade #22 (My version of Snow White Kissable Lips)

Annyeonghaseyo besties ♡

It is getting cold nowadays isn't it?

Please wear warm clothes, and eat properly. These kind of days, many people get sick easily. I hope everyone stay healthy :)

I personally also bring vitamins with me too. Vitamin C to prevent flu, and other vitamins for energy booster. 

Today i am going to review my favourite ETUDE HOUSE Play 101 Pencil. Play 101 Pencil concept is a pencil which you can use in any part of your face. As lipstick, eyeshadow, blush on, highlighter, eyeliner etc so 1 product for many purposes. Awesome right?

(Note: any photo i upload is in high quality. if you see this post using phone and see the photo looks like not focus, click on the photo to see the real detail ;) )

YESSS the model for this campaign is my favourite MUA Pony. She is super pretty and talented. All those looks is created using this Play 101 pencil only 😍😍😍


There are many shades available for this product. Special for this shade #22 which is deep red colour, i believe we can use it as lipstick, blush on, and eyeshadow.  As lipstick, this baby perfectly showing off what i call "Snow White Kissable Lips" 😍😍

The popular Disney princess has her signature and iconic red lips, which remind me of a red apple.  Had been looking for that perfect deep red shade, until i finally getting my hand on this ETUDE HOUSE Play 101 Pencil shade #22

I bought this cutie pie when i went to Korea last Spring. Never miss a chance to visit ETUDE HOUSE in any country i visit since the promotion is always different ♡ ETUDE HOUSE store was my neighbour since i stayed in Hongdae. 2 minutes walk from my apartment, so the temptation to drop by is so high. I went to EH store almost everyday (since the store has different promo items everyday, i wont miss it of course) haha. And eventually made friend with the store assistant. The assistant is super friendly, she explain to me and my friends all the details about any product we curious ♡♡

OK back to the Play 101. So after confusing over so many shades available, tried to swatch some red colours, i choose this lovely princess. My friend and me both got this, as we agree this is the perfect "Snow White Kissable Lips" kind of shade

1. PACKAGING

*As its name is Play 101 Pencil, the packaging shape is totally like a pencil. It is sleek gray, light weight, and we can carry i around even when using small clutch (convenience point is 10/10)

*To use it, simply turn the bottom part to the right side (part which written 22 number). And if we were done, put it back to the packaging by turning it left side. 

*There is actually a pencil sharpener too attached on the bottom but i loose it T_T. The sharpener is the colourfull bottom (different pencil has different colour) To use it, simply pull it off, use it to sharpen the pencil, then put it back.

2. COLOUR

* Loveee it so muchhh. Like what i said, this is what i call the perfect "Snow White Kissable Lips". This lipstick is glossy finish, not feel dry at all. Check my photo below 😍

(Makeup: 
A. Foundation: ETUDE Precious Mineral BB Cream shade W13 Natural Beige, 
B. Eyebrow: ETUDE Drawing Eyebrow shade Dark Brown
C. Lipstick: ETUDE Play 101 Pencil shade 22, D. Eyeliner: ETUDE Oh My Eye Line in black)

Another photo using this play 101

(This photo is taken in Korean Folk Village. Do visit there if you go to Seoul. This folk village is used in many korean dramas and movie. You will love it ;) )

Om my God the colour is so pretty right? ♡♡

3. LONG LASTING

* This is a very pigmented and long lasting lipstick. After i eat or drink, there is some lipstick get stick in the spoon or bottle, but  the colour is still bold and daring

*At the end of the day, after 8 hours outside working etc, if no retouch, usually i was left with a pinkish red lips. Which still need to remove using makeup/lip remover.

*Be careful if you are not into bold makeup, you may want to apply it carefully. This baby is really pigmented. I mean it and thats why i love it ♡

4. PRICE

*Affordable (as always from ETUDE HOUSE)

*I bought it in Korea about 80.000 - 90.000 (usd 5.8 - 6.4)

*Little goes long way, i dont know when i will finish this baby. So this is definitely worthed product to add to your collection

OVERALL RATING: 10/10 (Perfect! ☆☆☆)

REPURCHASING: Yes (i wanna try other colour too. I believe other will work as awesome as this)

Till the next post #xoxo

ETUDE HOUSE Drawing Eyebrow #Dark Brown Review

Hello ladies <3

Today i am gonna share my Holy Grail eyebrow kit which is the popular 

ETUDE HOUSE Drawing Eyebrow in shade #dark brown 

I have been using this everyday, i mean EVERYDAY. This is part of my daily makeup look. Always re-purchasing it everytime. Why i love it? Let's get to the detail, shall we? 

1. PACKAGING

The packaging is simple tube plastic, with dark brown colour as below. 

It is light weight, and slim so feel like holding a pencil.
We can carry it around everywhere.

There are 2 sides : the pencil and the brush

(So convenience, no need to bring other brush. i love this kind of simple and efficient product ;) )

2.COLOUR: DARK BROWN

*I pick dark brown, because my natural hair and eyebrow colour is black. If i choose gray or black, the eyebrow will looks too thick and unnatural, so i choose dark brown. 

I believe for most asian ladies, this dark brown colour will suit you best (unless you dye your hair)

*There are other shades available too, check this promotion picture below

3. LONG LASTING or NOT

* I will say it depends on your face type and activities
*My face type is combination. Oily at T-zone, and other part is dry
I have light physical activities. As my job is marketing, i mostly work in room with air conditioner too.
With those conditions above, i usually need to retouch my eyebrow after +/- 6 hours
(The part which need to be retouched is only the front - near the T zone. Other part no need for retouch)



4. PRICE
* Affordable
Online shops in Indonesia usually sell for around 50.000 - 60.000 rupiah (about  3.6 - 4.3 USD)
And this baby usually able to last for 2 months for me (everyday using)
so i consider it is cheap



OVERALL RATING: 8/10
REPURCHASING: Yes


Hope you enjoy it. Till the next post
#xoxo

Personally i believe if you wanna go for natural lovely makeup choose the warm palette, and if you want a more elegant and mysterious makeup go for the cold blue palette

It is advanced with Waterproof and Sweatproof technology, not easily smudge, will give us the doll eyelashes we always love. Instant eyelash extension? with the newest technology, i hope this one will work well for you who love exercising too.
