Etude house Peach water gloss review

:) I made this purchase a long time ago from skinfood2you on ebay, but never had time to review it.
It's a lovely lip gloss from etude houses' peach line(which I heard was being discontinued :( ).
It has the best scent ever, peach. This scent is not over powering, you most likely will not smell it on your lips, but just sniffing it, it smells like awesome. What does it smell like? well...if you've ever eaten fuzzy peaches, I think that's the scent. Just a lovely sweet peach scent.
This does give a tingling feeling on the lips that feels very cool, not a burning sensation like lip venom(this thing kills, I tried it at sephora, and a few min later, all I could say was "OMG IT BURNS").

Description on box:
Peach water gloss coats your lips for a light, moist and smooth sensation.
[NET WT. 0.34 fl. oz.]
[directions] Use heart shaped applicator to even distribute makeup to lips.
[Caution]1. use only as directed. 2. Avoid temperatures and areas exposed to direct sunlight. 3. Cease use if problem arise.


Samples:


Pros:
-Lovely scent
-Great colour pigment, especially since it's gloss
-cutest packaging ever
-free samples depending on where you bought it


Cons:
-Does not stay on long(it is gloss, so it is reasonable that it isn't long lasting)
-#2 strawberry milk settles into fine lines
-slight silicone taste if consumed, taste nothing like the peach it smells like :(


So, this contains a doe foot applicator, which for some people undesirable. To me, it doesn't matter, but it does pick up lipstick pigment on your lips if you have any. so, if you were to put on a beige lipstick, it will pick up that colour and the applicator will be beige D :.


Bare lips:


#2 Strawberry milk:
It's more of a cool colour, and contains lots of sparkle. There's flecks of gold glitter(very fine, so it doesn't feel gritty) which become invisible once applied. this does settle into fine lines, so be warned.

#5 Peach milk:
it's a warmer colour compared to #2 strawberry milk. This contains no shimmer what so ever. It's a lovely pink colour. this also settles into fine lines, but less noticeable than #2.

Swatches on hand:

Natural light(Left is #5, right is #2)

Flash

Verdict:
I love this. I've seen swatches of the other colours, and they aren't as pleasant, or noticeable as these 2. They go great alone, or on top of a lipstick to give you that light pinky lips.(i've tried it over Maybelline's Pink please from their colour sensational line and it looks SO GORGEOUS!)
:)

5/5
