Etude House Dear Darling Tint #2 Real Red

Recently I went on a mini Etude Haul on the KollectionK website. It took a while for my package to come in but what can you expect when your package is coming from Korea. Sadly I was at school when they decided to deliver it but I was able to pick it up at the post office after class.

I been looking for lip tints because I don't really like lipstick that end up coming off when you drink stuff. Ever since I passed by Korea during my layover to China, I was amazed by Korean makeup. I decided to try Etude to see how it would work since I would assume that most Asian makeup brands would not put any harsh chemicals (though this has not been proven, its just an opinion to me).

Along with this product I bought an Etude polish (which I have no tried yet) and an all over color which I have in a review on my blog.

Now lets get to the product. This color was in #2 Real Red. The color really is RED. I been looking for a red lip-color that wouldn't be too bright and not too dark for me. The thing I love about this lip tint is that you can build up on color. If you want it to be more subtle just apply less of the lip-gel and it will not come off too strong. There is also a fruity kind of smell to the gloss, honestly, it doesn't bug me at all. The gel does take maybe 4-5 minutes to dry but once it does it stays on for a while. I wore it the other day when I went to Hollywood with my family and I think it lasted a good maybe 4 hours without having to reapply. Also, if you like more of a smooth lip feeling you can always add balm on top of the lip-tint ( make sure the gel/tint has dried completely before applying balm or lasting power might not be as strong).

Overall this is a great lip tint. It does seem to wear off after a while but its decent for the price it is offered at. Heres a picture of me with two very very thin coats of the lip tint ( I basically just made a line with the tip of the wand and just used my fingers to blend it out to the corners of my lip).
