REVIEW: Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk

Etude House has their NEW lipstick line, Dear My Wish Lips Talk launched. Based on my research done before purchasing this product, this lipstick is supposed to be an improved version of their Dear My Blooming Lips for the 2014 Winter.

Being a winter released product, this lipstick claims to be rich in color (pigment I suppose), rich in nutrition and rich in moisture as it comes with a new texture that melts smoothly onto lips and delivers vivid color with just one touch.

As for its packaging, yes, it is very similar to the Dear My Blooming Lips line.

It's just that the ribbon is situated at the center of the lipstick this time.

Now, for the price of this product, retailing for RM 65.90 in Malaysia. It is a pretty expensive product costing up to more than RM 60 for one color/ one lipstick/ one bullet. THAT's almost the price of a MAC lipstick. Seriously? But seriously, I just had to try them out... WHY?! Because the colors looked amazing on Krystal Jung. *wink*

Now, here are the colors I purchased, BE102, RD301 and RD302.

I only purchased 3 out of the 10 colors that they've launched. 

Back to what it claims, 

i. MELTS smoothly onto lips

ii. delivers VIVID color 

iii. with just ONE TOUCH.

Well, here are my swatches, with just one touch. Not bad, eyh?

i. MELTS smoothly onto lips (Check)
ii. VIVID color (Check)

However, when using these lipsticks you have to be super careful. These lipsticks are super creamy and therefor smudge easily. Reminder, do not store them in places that are warm. The lipstick WILL MELT (like it claims xD, but not in a nice way this time).

PROS:
i. SUPER Pigmented
ii. Creamy
iii. Moisturizing

CONS:
i. Doesn't last very long w/o lip pencil
ii. Hard to use for precise application (I suggest a lip brush)
iii. Dead skin from lips stick to lips and are visible -if you know what I mean

OVERALL
I personally feel it's not worth RM 65.90 but if you manage to get it for half its price then by all means, give it a try. For something better during the Winter/ something moisturizing, I'd suggest the REVLON Lip Butter (inexpensive and build able- color wise). Would I repurchase it, maybe, maybe not because it's quite high maintenance if you ask me.

Tip: If you do plan on purchasing this product, I'd suggest looking up for more swatches online and not from the swatches from the ad. the colors that appear on the ad. are taken on super fair skinned models and have great lighting.
