A few months ago the Etude House finally launched an international online shop something a lot of people have been waiting for, us more or less included. As you might know we mostly buy everything Korean from Gmarket but we thought we should give the very own Etude online shop at least a try, plus they offered, and are still offering, some really great deals.
Their first month went by without them offering anything of interest for us but then they put the 'Play 101 Pencils' on discount and after having heard a lot of good things from a lot of different people about them we decided to give them a try.
First things first ordering at the Etude House online store is pretty simple. We even made a mistake with our first order and had to cancel that first one and replace it and that went extremely smoothly. The only downside is that Lisa tried also to get in contact with them over the wrong order and they never got back to her, we managed to fix it on our own but it would have been nice to hear back from the Etude staff.
We ordered at the end of Octorber, tracking included, and the parcell was send out at the 28th we think. It arrived at our place on the 12th of November which is very okay considering we opted for cheapest shipping.
The next thing that made us sad was that the online store advertised with the fact that they would include free samples in every package. Maybe they said somewhere that this didn't inlcude offers but not receiving any freebies made us a bit sad.
However the overall experience was pretty neutral. Now onto the products we got. We ordered eight of Etude's 'Play 101 Pencils' and Lisa got one as a gift a few months ago that we decided to put into this haul as well to give you a review about.
18 - Is a super pale purple, very dry and even lighter than you might imagine it to be.
19 - Super intense purple/violet, also dry but usable as a lipstick on it's own if you put moisturiser underneath.
23 - Beautiful dark red, usable as lipstick or blush, extremely mositurised.
26 - Pink with a golden shimmer to it. Definetly an eyecatcher, slightly drying but still super pretty as a lipstick.
29/33 - Easy every day colours. 29 is slightly darker with a bit more brown tones in it while 33 is pretty light and just a honest pink colour.
42 - An ashy/grey/brown colour, difficult to describe but extremely pretty for the eyebrows and probably a very simple eyeliner make up.
46 - A coppery highlighter with a lot of glitter particles in it. This one is a creamy dream if you don't want a white or pink highlighter for your eyemake up. We heard though that the glitter is pretty make up remover resistant.
48 - Dark brown, nearly black, eyeliner. Something basic. Ultra matte if you don't like glittery eyeliner this is a great choice.
We didn't have much time to try around with the pencils yet but the two times we swatched them we found out they are super water resistant, another plus for those products in our opinion. In the video linked below we are wearing:
Lisa - 26 on her lips, 46 as a highlighter on her waterline and 48 as her normal eyeliner.
Maren - 19 on her lips and 42 (combined with the Etude Browcara in #03) on her eyebrows.
