AMW Reviews: Etude House Wannabe Color Lips in #2 So Hot Pink

I am actually MORE excited with Chinese New Years than regular January 1st New Years.  The reason is, my brother (who's working overseas) usually comes home for a short vacation and it felt so good to spend quality time with complete family members! :)

To jumpstart the lucky Year of the Dragon, I will be reviewing something "Supah Bright"!  A lipstick that can make my teeth look whiter! :)  My mom and dad may have the shock of their lives seeing their "bunso" (youngest child) sporting a bright red lips which they don't see much but...I'm old now!!!! *laughs*

Etude House So Hot Pink

is So Hot and Cute!

Pros

• Very cute, stylish matte black packaging with girly design.
• The lipstick is very pigmented.
• The lip color adheres into the lips quite well and stays longer than regular lipstick.
• Has a very faint scent that's not overwhelming.
• Non-drying as compared to other matte lipsticks.
• Good price point for something as pigmented as this.
• Though matte, it doesn't look dry on lips.

Cons

• For those who love to read ingredients, can't find it in box.
• Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is a limited edition? (I hope not)
• May still be drying as compared to moisturizing lipstick.  Only drier lips individuals may feel this.

Overall

At first glance, I thought this lipstick is similar to those "kiddie lipsticks" that has the fruity scent that looks so great on packaging but would fail on application!  This is not the case!  The Etude house Wannabe Color Lips has everything both kids and adults may want!  (though I highly recommend kids to stay away from such color..hehehe).  The lipstick is exactly what we, as young girls, would want to put inside our tiny purses at the same time, the quality is really good even professionals like us would love this too!

Tips

• Always prep your lips with lip balm prior to lipstick application.
• After lip balm application, wait for a couple of minutes and do makeup on the rest of your face, blot with tissue paper then proceed with lipstick application.
• For the color the pop out even better, use lip erase or conceal your original lip color prior to lipstick application.
• For a glossy finish, top with your favorite lip gloss.
• Feel free to change a bit of the lipstick shade by topping with a colored gloss.
• Use lip brush if you plan to use this for clients.
• If possible, wipe off the tip of the lipstick after application or wipe your lips prior to lipstick application.
• If you find this lip color to be too much on you or overwhelming, apply with a patting motion OR mix with a beige colored lipstick.
  

Will I repurchase?
Yes! Looking at So Chic Beige!


To whom do I recommend this to?

So Hot Pink is perfect for anyone who would like to look great minus the eye makeup.  This lipstick color may be super bright but it suits most skin color.

Where to purchase and how much?
At Etude House stores for Php478.00 (approx $11.12).
