Sweet Recipe: Dear My Jelly Lips-Talk JPK002 Review.

I got lots of sweet stuff from the Etude House Sweet recipe Press Launch a few months ago and I just don't know what to review first coz everything's just amazing!

Now let me catch up! Today, I will be reviewing the lipstick which f(x)'s Krystal endorses! The Dear My Jelly Lips-Talk in JPK002. I knowwww, long name, right?! kkk~

 That's f(x)'s Krystal wearing the Jelly lipstick! isn't she pretty!? Oh but yes, Sulli is still my forever favorite. kkk~ Let's see if the Dear My Jelly Lips-Talk actually look like that in real life. kkkkk~ >_<

PACKAGING:

Like what I always say and As expected from Etude House, they do have the cutest packaging ever. Though the packaging of their Princess Etoinette lipsticks is still my favorite. The Jelly Lips-Talk looks more simple with its candy-like bead? details.

The product description can be found on the box, it also has the description on the other side in Korean. Like what it claims to be, it's a sheer-colored lipstick. We won't expect too much pigmentation here since this lipstick is more of like a tint and a lip balm in one. 

COLOR:

The one in my Sweet box is in the shade of JPK002 (시럽범벅 딸기 사탕) which literally means "Candy coated in Strawberry Syrup". 

It has a tinge of red into it, like strawberries. Though due to its jelly-like texture, the red shade does not come off real heavy. 

SWATCH:

Omooooooo~ <3 look at such lovely detail! Now tell me, how are you supposed to use this? I won't even dare to take a swipe coz I want the pretty, princessy, cinderella-like heart carving to stay there. But for review purposes, well, I shall do this. Sorry. haha!

I did it! I swiped it! Noooooo~ Oh okay. Oh yeah that's my wrist, you know it so well. I mean that tiny mole right there. Yeah yeah.

Now look at that beautiful, glossy finish! I swear you don't need a lip balm anymore coz it provides moisture on the lips. By the way, to achieve that color right there, I did 3 swipes of the lipstick. One swipe won't be enough to show on camera. It looks like I just had a bit itch on my wrist that made it a little red. kkkkkk~ So yep, 3 swipes it is.

No shimmers on this, the shine it gives does not come from glitters. It's just the moist of the Jelly Lipstick that gives that glossy shine. 

SCENT:

The scent is awesomeeeeee! Smells (and tastes like) yummy strawberries. It's nothing foul which some lipsticks contain (you know the ones the smells like chemicals). <333 Try not to eat it.

WHEN WORN:

I know this, for some of you, is the most annoying part. hahahaha! Selca selca selcaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

This is how the Dear My Jelly Lips-talk JPK002 look on me. I did 3~4 swipes right here so the color will show on camera. Well, I usually do a lot of swipes coz aside from being a girl who can't live without lip balms, I also have very dry lips. They chap like crazy as if I'm experiencing winter or something. Oh weird.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I will give this lipstick a 4/5. I love how it moisturizes my lips, considering the fact that I have dry, chappy lips. The shade looks very pretty as well regardless of it being sheer. I have a lot of tints and pigmented lippies but I think this is the first lipstick i had that does not have much pigmentation. I love how perfect this is for everyday use or if I wanna go for a heavy eyemake, this sheer lipstick will help draw the attention to my eyes more.

"Hey Andy you said you love it but why do you give a 4 instead of a 5?! Why not make it a 5/5 you unreasonable piece of..." Okay okay.. The missing one point goes to the fact that it does not stay long. Well I'm already expecting it coz the moisture won't make it transfer-free. It will really wear off once you drink or eat, not a even a tinge of color will stay so what you have to do it to re-apply it.

PRICE: 478php (12,500won) ($11) available at all Etude House Philippines branches. 

Hope you enjoyed the review!

I reviewed the Baby Choux base weeks ago from the same Sweet recipe Collection. CHECK IT HERE!

Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base Review.

Okay, 2 product reviews in a row! I can do this! kkkk~ I believe this is my most requested product review so I really want to post this as soon as possible. Oh well, before the hype ends (if it will end)! 

Remember my post about the Sweet Recipe Press Launch I attended a week ago? If you're done reading it, then you'll know they gave me new sweethearts to take care of. And so here I am, sharing them with you!

I have told you a thousand times that the Baby Choux Base is my favorite from the entire Sweet Recipe line! Ready to know why? Okay. I'll tell you why, so please keep reading <333

Tadaaaan! 

Oh yes, i'll be reviewing two shades.

#1 Mint Choux (Green base)

#2 Berry Choux (Peachy Pink Base)

PACKAGING:

The box does not look like cosmetic packaging at all! haha~ It looks like it's a box of cupcake or pastry or something yummy~!

As expected from Etude House, the packaging is superrr lovely! Don't you think? Just lovely, wow. The Baby Choux Base container is a thick, frosted glass. I love the detail of the cover, by the way.

Look at that! SPF25 PA++!! A makeup base with  SPF, geez I know, I know. You can wear this alone. I CAN wear this alone.

Don't panic! here's the English details you need. kkkk~

SHADES/TEXTURE:

#1 Mint Choux (Green Base)

  #1 Mint Choux is a corrective make up base which is very good for people with troubled, reddish skin. It'll help tone down the redness. 

  The texture is very yummy~! I mean, CREAMY! It looks like Green Tea Whipped Cream or something like that. By just looking at it, you'll know that it'll be the easiest to apply and blend because the texture is just too smooth and creamy.

#2 Berry Choux (Peachy Pink Base)

  #2 Berry Choux is for brightening dull skin. This is my personal favorite. I prefer this one than the Mint Choux because I have problems with dull skin. Without makeup, I look tired and dead so i love pretty much everything that can make my skin look healthy and alive. <3 

  Well the texture is exactly the same with Mint Choux so there's nothing more to explain here. Unless you wanna get bored by reading the statement again. kkkk~

SWATCHES:

  Please note that the swatch i'll be showing you is the Berry Choux base. Their finish is just exactly the same anyway.

See how my skin looked brighter? Not whiter, because that's entirely a different thing. When it makes your face look whiter, then it won't be the same with your neck and anywhere else. I do think it's a shade matching issue then. But the Baby Choux base makes the skin brighter and healthier.

Here's a closer look.

It made my skin looks so moist and bright! See how it beautifully glows under the light? This base does not have any shimmers at all, but its brightening effect is just amazing! >_<

WHEN WORN:

I have applied the #2 Berry Choux base on the half of my face and the Etude House Shini Star BB cream over it. On the other half is my face only with Etude House Shini Star BB cream. No powder, no anything.

I hope you can see the difference. I mean, the side with the base looks brighter, don't you think?! I just love the glow it gives~! <333 

The other half without the base looks okay with the BB cream alone, but not as glowy and dewy like the other half.

As for its longevity, it lasts 5~6 hours max on me (i mean the glow and brightness it gives my skin) but of course, to control oil and prevent the makeup from being worn off, an occasional powder retouch is a must.

Overall, I LOVE the Sweet Recipe Baby Choux base! I have used a lot of makeup bases before but never I have seen something that gives me this moist and silky finish. It makes my BB cream or foundation look at its best on my skin. I will give it a 5/5~! Yeahooo! Or 6/5~! the extra 1 point goes to the fact that their endorser is my favorite girl, Sulli from f(x)~! weeee! I love her.

Sooooooo pretty!! I love this photo of her with the baby choux base I even tried to copy this pose~!

Now here's my attempt~! ohohohohohoshalashala

No? of course, no. hahaha! Ashhhocks i almost ate the base.

Bye! Don't forget to like Etude House Philippines!

  I wanna buy the third shade from this collection at 20% OFF! So come on, let's help each other, shall we? kkk~
