Korean V.S. U.S. Lip Products: Review, Comparison & Swatches (Detailed)

Korean V.S. U.S. Lip Products
Remember my huge Korean haul on ShopandBox (full post here)? In my haul, I picked out several lip products that were made surprisingly similar to their U.S. counterparts. What better way to compare which is more desirable than to write a review for it? 😉
I’ve put 3 different types of lip products to the test, namely 2 types of tinted lip balms and a lip stain. I’m going to be comparing:
  • Benefit Cha Cha Balm & Peri Pera Milk Balm in Peach
  • Dior Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm & IOPE Water Fit Tint Lip Balm
  • YSL Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stain (#14) & Espoir Waterstain Lip Glow (Bite Me)

March 2015 Beauty Favourites
What?! It’s April already? But.. I wasn’t ready!
Time really flies. We were still in March but now we’re stepping into the fourth month of year 2015!

Etude House Color in Liquid Lips
Step out in style this Spring with a pop of colour on your lips! With all the innovative lip products in the market now, it is no surprise that K-Beauty giant, Etude House, has launched a collection of colour water lipsticks that encompasses the beauty of a lipstick, a lip gloss and a lip stain – the Color in Liquid Lips.
Can you see how cute the packaging is? They look like regular lipsticks but the lipstick bullet motif on each one is to indicate the shade they contain. They are, in fact, liquid lipsticks! I love the adorable lips and water droplet prints on the tubes too for they bring out the name of the product really well. How apt! 😉
