Review : Etude House Proof 10 Bling Eye Stick

Hey loves! :D

How's your halloween celebration? 

Mine was not too exciting so I'll just leave it at that. Haha!

Anyway, for today's post, let me share with you my thoughts on...

Etude House Proof 10 Bling Eye Stick

This is Php 398.00 each.

I got this for free from the Etude House Playhouse Princess Academy last July.

This product belongs to their Bling in the Sea Collection.

Product details from the press release:

1. Bling-bling tear effect with plenty pearls

•Surrounding Twinkle System makes arcane and fantastic eyes with various appearance of glitters by different angles

3. Smooth texture with light fitness 

It will fit on eyes instantly with light fitness and smooth texture 

4. 3-In-One Stick Liner 

Multi stick liner that has Tear effect liner+ Eye liner + Eye shadow in one stick

This is available in 5 shades:

Bling Sunshine, Bling Pearl,

Bling Ocean, Bling Coral,

and Bling Wave.

The shade I received is Bling Pearl.

The packaging really fits the collection. The color and the design has that ocean feel to it.

Below's a swatch of the product on my arm:

I got that finish with just one swipe but you can still build it up for a more vibrant effect. But I don't think that it will have the same effect as the swatch on the press release which is on a black background. On skin, it's a lot more subtle.

Here's the product applied on my eye lid:

It has a sparkly, water-like finish... like water glistening on your eyes. But I didn't apply primer there. Though I doubt that it would do much difference if I did. This product has a very subtle effect and is mainly for adding sparkles. It does feel light and even if it's all sparkly, it feels smooth. 

It is waterproof. I've placed the swatch on running water and rubbed it a couple of times and the sparkles were still there. This creases on oily lids though so I guess a good primer can help with that. And you have to wait 'til it sets because it easily rubs off or transfers from skin to skin... so if you try to spread it using your fingertips, expect that it will transfer to your fingertips. Booo.

What I LIKE:

Pearl-like shine

Sparkles!

Locally Available

Waterproof

Can be an eyeliner and eyeshadow

Available in 5 shades

Feels light and smooth

Packaging

What I am NEUTRAL about:

Price

What I DO NOT LIKE:

Creases on oily lids

Too subtle finish (I like bold colors)

Transfers easily from skin to skin

Would I buy one again?

Probably not. I'm more fond of powder eyeshadows. Though I find the pearlescent, sparkly finish beautiful, I don't see myself using it that much. But I do think that people who like simple but radiant makeup would like this. :)

That's it for the review! What do you think of Etude House's Proof 10 Bling Eye Stick?

Review: Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer

I love playing with eye shadows but only recently did I start using Eye Primers. 

Weird isn't it?

But now it's a must that I apply it whenever I wear makeup.

I've tried a few eye primers now and one of them is the...

Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer.

I've actually been using this for months and still loving it. This post is all about what I think of this product. :D

What the product says:

Ingredients

The brush is a doe foot applicator just like most of the primers I've tried.

The EH Proof 10 Eye Primer has a creamy consistency. It isn't scented and isn't sticky when it dries.

Here's a picture of eye shadows from my Dollface 88 pc eye shadow palette applied on my hand.

 On the left are the swatches without the primer and on the right are those with the primer.

See how vibrant the shadows turned out with the primer on?

And this picture shows the shadows when I continuously rubbed my hand on a cloth.

Directions on how to use the product:

So to test the product out, I applied it before going to school. I used my Dollface Cosmetics 88 pcs Eye Shadow Palette for my eye shadows. I didn't use much eyeliners in this look though except for the white one on my waterline.

I jokingly call this look the "Gumamela Eyes" just because the colors look a lot like the colors of the flower. :P (and I do go to school with super loud eye shadows. :P)

After a whole day in school... about 10 hours to be more accurate, this is what my eye shadow looked like:

The shadow is still there although not as vibrant. And only little creases can be seen.

Before, the pigments of the shadows would be gone or all creased together because of my oily lids!

So what do I like about the product?

• The pigments stick perfectly that the colors are more vibrant
• Makes my eye shadows more long-lasting
• affordable at around Php300
• Easy to apply and doesn't dry too fast
• Creamy and it isn't sticky when it dries
• Locally Available

What I don't like about the product :

• The text design on the bottle comes off after some time

• The shape of the bottle won't allow you to get the remaining product at the sides

I use this daily since it's inexpensive and I can easily buy another one when i run out of it. But for heavier eye shadows (or when I do creative makeup) I use UDPP or my sis' Kryolan eye primer. :P

What do you think of Etude House's Proof 10 Eye Primer? Have you tried it yet? Any eye primers out there that you'd like to recommend?
