Etude House Vivid Pop Stick - This Love & Crazy In Love Swatches & Review

Purchased by me

Hey lovelies,

As if I didn't have enough motivation to buy make up, you guys loved Etude House's Vivid Pop Sticks that I reviewed back in January so much that I had to buy more :D Today I have #8 Crazy In Love and #2 This Love to show you.

These lipsticks are packaged in pencil style, similar to the Revlon Matte Balm Stains. They twist up so there's no need to sharpen them, a very handy feature. Each Pop Stick packaging is matched to the colour of the lippy inside, so it's very easy to locate the correct colour, and is decorated with white lip prints. Very cute! The caps stay in place well; I've never had any trouble with them losing their caps in my handbag.

Crazy In Love

Crazy In Love is a bright cherry red matte with pink undertones. It has great colour pay off and excellent lasting power, wearing for over 5 hours before mostly disappearing with food. It left behind a faint pink stain.

***

This Love

This Love is a creamy matte peach. It has great colour pay off but the lightness of this shade made it show lip flaws a bit. It settled into liplines and faded at the centre of my lips a little after three hours of wear and became minimally drying. However it still lasted several hours longer after the initial fading with most of the colour intact.

What I liked:

• Soft and creamy matte texture
• The pencil style makes it easy to get precise application
• Twist up pencil, so no sharpening is required!
• No feathering or bleeding

What I didn't like:

• This Love emphasises flaws a little and settles into lip lines after several hours
• This Love is minimally drying after three hours

Where to buy:

• Roseroseshop
• Ebay - I bought mine from f2plus1
• Beautynetkorea (which is also f2plus1 on Ebay!)

I'm really stoked with my purchases this time around and definitely need more. Have you tried these yet?
