Review : Etude house balm + color tint

Yes! It's new hit review time! Not long ago etude house released the balm + color tint series. And i got a chance to try 3 out of the five shades! 

The new color tint balm adapts the same concept as the laneige duo tint bar. A single Liptick with 2 colors, but unlike laneige lipstick, etude house comes with a tint concept. 

They have 5 shades which are beige, orange, coral, pink and red. I wanted to get out from my comfort zone so i chose shade 1,2, and 3. 

It came with a box. No princessy theme but it still looks cool enough. On the box it is stated : 

1. Hydrating lip balm meets vibid color making gradation tint stick easier and faster to apply

2. (Get lips ready) the tinted lip balm hydrates and colors your lips, getting them perfectly ready for the gradation look

3. (Get the golden ratio 7:3) the tinted lip balm for the lips is enough for generous use with color atick in reasonable amount only for the inner area at ratio of 7:3. 

The lip tint is housed in a crayon tube just like mamonde. It is a screw type like usual. Each tube has a different color depends on its shade so you won't be confused which shade to pick among piles of lippies in your cosmetic case. It has circle decorations, i don't know what the circle means because it doesn't match with the whole concept hehe but it still looks great. 

It has a faint lychee smell, but disappear once you apply it on lips. Each balm has 2 colors. The light and the pigmented one. The light shade area is bigger than the pigmented one and the lines are clear so it won't mix up when you swipe on lips. 

Okay let's jump into the colors!

The first shade i'm hoing to review is the beige color number 1. As you can see on the picture, the light shade is transparent cream color, while the darker shade is beige. apply on lips, the lighter shade provides a sheer glossy beige color. The darker color is very beautiful. It has MLBB color which is a trend for 2016. Combine together it creates the most beautiful MLBB color. It is not neon nor too pale. It is a perfect shade that makes your face even prettier. If you want a natural looking makeup it is a perfect shade. 

The second color is orange. The lighter shade is yellow, and the darker side is deep orange. It has been a long time i've never bought an orange shade lipstick. The last color lips fit from etude house turned into a disaster which i hate very much. But today i braved myself to try orange lipstick again. Apparently it is super gorgeous. It is not neon and looks very beautiful. you can see on the lips swatches how beautiful is that. It makes your face brighter and it could be an alternative choice for everyday lips. 

The third color is coral. But i don't think the color looks coral. It kinda mixed between red, pink and coral. If you look on the hand swatches,  the color looks  like almost red. The color makes your face looks Brighter and more bold. It's an everyday coral red shade and it is very pretty as well. The lighter shade turns out to be sheer pink. 

Overall, i think it suits the name balm + color tint. It feels very moisturizing like a balm (the lighter shade) and the color is very vivid like color tint. It is very pigmented and long lasting. You can see even after rubbing the tint color and the balm color is still there. It may not be as pigmented as before but it still looks great. 10 thumbs up for etude house balm + tint color.
