Etude House & Rose Drawing Show Creamy Pencil Liner in Sunset Brown

I'll always choose pencil liner over liquids. There's more room for error - you can sharpen the pencil to a precise tip and any mistake can be fixed with a little smudging for a more sultry eyeliner look. For this purpose, the Etude House & Rose Drawing Show Creamy Pencil in Sunset Brown ($11.99 on ibuybeauti) is the perfect eyeliner. 

For reference claims include "creamy texture and amazing adhesion, waterproof and long-lasting"

There are 4 colours available - BE103 Creamy Rose (nude) , PP501 Dust Purple (mauve purple), RD304 After Blossom (deep pink), and BR404 Sunset Brown (warm chocolate brown). There's no staple black, white, or taupey brown colours in sight. While the selection isn't the best, the shades that are available are on the unique side of eyeliner colours. 

The Etude House & Rose Drawing Show Creamy Pencil in Sunset Brown comes in no box, just some simple plastic wrap. The pencil casing and lid is made of a plastic material, much more reliable than the clear plastic caps of North American pencil liners that break easily and annoy me to no end. It's your standard pencil liner. 

If I were to change one thing about this liner, I would want it to be twist-up because twist-ups are 1,000x more efficient and time-saving than busting out the sharpener every time I want a precise tip. 

Sunset Brown is a rich, warm brown shade. The pencil is very smooth and soft in texture and (thankfully) doesn't pull at the eyelid during application. The liner sets quite quickly (within a minute) but can be easily blended out for a softer effect. 

As someone with extremely oily skin and hooded eyelids, I can truly appreciate this eyeliner. One of my biggest beauty issues is that I'll apply a pencil liner on my top lashline and by the middle of the day, I'll have not just one line of liner on my lashline, but most liners will transfer into an awkward line in my crease. The Etude House & Rose Drawing Show Creamy Pencil liner does not do this. It stays put all day long until I feel like taking it off and it's not at all hard to remove. 

Overall, a great pencil liner. Disregarding the lack of colour selection, the only factor that could possibly prevent you from purchasing the & Rose Drawing Show Creamy Pencils is the price, but the staying power and creaminess is always preferred over hard, crumbly eyeliners (wet n wild) or overly creamy racoon-eye-inducing eyeliners (urban decay) which makes this liner pencil totally worth it.

Etude House My Jelly Lips Talk in Plum JOR203

Lately, I've been loving orange. In particular, sheer orange. With today's array of lipstick, balm, and gloss combinations and options, the Etude House Sweet Recipe My Jelly Lips Talk in Plum JOR203 ($13.99 on ibuybeauty.com) is just another fish in the sea of sheer lipsticks.

Perhaps the difference between this and others is the classic and cute Etude house packaging, along with the strange jelly formula that glides over your lips with ease. Despite the name sounding lost in translation, the name "My Jelly Lips" is pretty darn accurate. The texture of the lippie is weirdly jelly-like. It's not as thick balm nor is it like a creamy lipstick. It's more slippery and slick but not wet like a gloss either and it's extremely comfortable on the lips. Furthermore, not surprisingly, the sheer texture results in a lack of staying power. 

For some reason, this product appears ridiculously bright and intimidating in the tube but translates to something much sheerer when worn on the lips. It's a pop of colour without being ostentatious about it. The name of the colour was also totally lost in translation. JOR203 is also known as "plum". Dearest Etude House, plums are not orange, so I'm a bit confused. Other colours in the line include Lychee (JPK001), Strawberry (JPK002), Orange (JOR201), Mango (JOR202), Lemon (JBE101), Cotton Pink (JPK003), and Grapefruit (JPK004). 

Ignoring my dislike for the colour name and product name, the Etude House My Jelly Lips Talk in JOR203 is a fabulous product. It's not better or worse than my other sheer lippies but it gets the job done in a colour that I love. 

Have you tried the Etude House My Jelly Lips Talk?
