Etude House Sugar Tint Balm in #5 Pink Macaroon and #8 Blackberry Jelly Review

Hello Lovelies^^  Today's review will be Etude House Sugar Tint Balm in the shades of #5 Pink Macaroon and #8 Blackberry Jelly.  Basically, it's a tint + balm product!  Good for chapped lipper like me~

Price: 8,000 won / RM52.90 (bought on a buy 1 free 1 promotion) / 4g

#5 Pink Macaroon is a nude baby pink which is perfect for days that you just want a hint of pink on your lips, for a lovely healthy look.

#8 Blackberry Jelly is a grape-ish pink which gives you a chic yet romantic look.  The colour appears paler in picture below but it should be more purplish/intense in real life.  I don't know why it looks so pale in the picture below as I don't add any filter in the pictures.

Swatches on my hand in different lighting:

It glides smoothly on the lips and does not emphasize my chapped lips. Good colour payoff too!

Test for staying power -- after wipe with tissue paper:

As you can see from the picture above, the staying power is weak.  It goes off easily on light eating.  #8 has better staining ability than #5 due to its more intense colour.  Its moisturizing ability is better than its tinting ability.  The colour payoff is great but a bit disappointed on its lasting ability.

For those don't mind reapplying after meals, it's great for you!
This product is good for those having chapped lips and don't mind reapplying it after each meals.

Innisfree Apple Juice Cleansing Oil Review

Yello~ Lovelies!  I'm gonna review the famous Innisfree Apple Juice Cleansing Oil today!  I know it's been out long longggg time ago BUT I just tried it lately.  When comes to oil based products, I tend to hesitate because I think it might clog my skin pores although I have a dry skin.  So, I have made up my mind to give it a try due to high raving by my friend.

From the introduction by Innisfree:
"Enriched with apple extract, this line offers softness and healthy radiance to your skin like a freshly washed apple."

Price: 13,000 won / RM52 (150ml)

Like always, I have used it as my makeup remover or whenever I think my skin need extra cleansing for almost a month. It's inexpensive and does what it claims.  If you have followed my blog for a while, you will know that I have dry, sensitive and acne-prone skin.  I'm glad this product doesn't irritate my skin or worsen my acne.  Definitely a plus!  Also, it does not dry my skin at all!

From L to R: Aritaum Full Cover BB cream, Kiss Me mascara, Etude House Proof 10 pencil eyeliner, Kiss Me liquid eyeliner, Innisfree shadow pencil, Etude House Dear Darling Tint, Aritaum Honey Melting Tint

After cleanse with the cleansing oil

As you can see from the pictures above, it cleanses well if you massage enough with the appropriate amount of the cleansing oil.  You may find it hard to remove lip and eye products but it is reasonable since it's not a lip and eye remover.  They do come out the lip and eye remover in this line.  You can try that one :)  

It has an artificial apple fragrance, some people may find it irritating but some find it amazing.  It really depends on one's.  For me, I think it's ok as it does not hit my nose but not my liking.

Overall, it does its job with its pocket-friendly price, does the same job with those high end products.  I'm quite satisfied with it^^
