Top 3 Pigmented Pink Lipsticks

get it beauty is a korean beauty talk show where they invite experts from the relevant fields to share insights with beauty lovers. one of the things they do is the blind test, and it is what you think it is.

i read that they changed the format slightly this year. instead of pitting random products against each other, they now pit previous year's champion against new challengers.

here is the ranking for pigmented and buttery smooth pink lipsticks!

1. ETUDE HOUSE | DEAR MY WISH LIPSTICK | PK002 | 3.5g | 9500 won

pigmented, hugs your lips perfectly. formulated with vegetable squalane for moisture and shine.

2. LANCOME | L'ABSOLU ROUGE | 368 | 4.2g | 39,000 won 

vivid colour, creamy texture, and very moisturizing.

3. ESTEE LAUDER | PURE COLOR ENVY SHINE LIPSTICK | 480 | 3.4g | 39,000 won

designed to complement asian skin tones, the blue pigments freshens up the face.

4. NARS | AUDACIOUS LIPSTICK | NATALIE | 4.2g | 39,000 won

5. ESPOIR | LIPSTICK NOWEAR M | PK002 N.Y. PINK | 3.7g | 19,000 won

2014 blind test #1! matte lipstick with soft texture. 

i read that the previous year champion (espoir lipstick) took last place because matte lips aren't trendy anymore. really? i've been wanted to try etude house's lipstick, this ranking just gave me one more reason to try it out.

Top 3 Lovely Pink Blush

get it beauty is a korean beauty talk show where they invite experts from the relevant fields to share insights with beauty lovers. one of the things they do is the blind test, and it is what you think it is.

i read that they changed the format slightly this year. instead of pitting random products against each other, they now pit previous year's champion against new challengers.

let's take a look at the blusher ranking!

1. ETUDE HOUSE | LOVELY COOKIE BLUSHER | #11 | 8.5g | 6000 won

sebum controlling powder makes the colour stay true and fresh all day. also sweat resistant.

2. RMK | INGENIOUS POWDER CHEEKS | EX-07 SHINY ROSE | 2.6g | 39,000 won

#1 product chosen by professional MUA. pearly effect is reminiscent of the ethereal spring sun.

3. BOURJOIS | BLUSH | 34 ROSE D'OR | 2.5g | 23,000 won

2011 blind test #1. an oven baked blush that is rose scented. 

i may try out etude house's blusher one day to see if it's really that long lasting! for 6USD it's very affordable compared to the other two! i love my bourjois blush (read my review here) and have been thinking of getting another one :P

tried any of these before?

GET IT BEAUTY Blind Test #1 Eyeliners 2015

Top 3 Eyeliner Pencil For Deep, Clear Eyes

what is "get it beauty"? and why do their blind test matter to me?
get it beauty is a korean beauty talk show, i first heard of them through their "get it beauty self" beauty videos on youtube :P it's similar to taiwan's 女人我最大 to a certain extent, in which they will invite experts from the relevant fields to share insights with beauty lovers.

one of the things they do is the blind test, and it is what you think it is.

i read that they changed the format slightly this year. instead of pitting random products against each other, they now pit previous year's champion against new challengers.

i like any ranking that's powered by the community, because the chances of picking a bad item is lower if most people find it to be working well! it's kind of a herd mindset i suppose, but it's helpful for foreign products because there're little reviews available online for some of the korean brands. i take these rankings into consideration when choosing new items to try.

let's take a look at the eyeliner ranking!

1. SHU UEMURA | DRAWING PENCIL | 1.2g | 27,000 won

long wearing and has a huge range of colour selection.

2. STILA | SMUDGE STICK WATERPROOF EYELINER | 0.28g | 27,000 won

previous year's #1!

can be used without the worry of touching up as it lasts all day.

3. BANILA CO | SEOUL WONDER SMOOTH GEL EYELINER | 0.5g | 12,000 won

the soft gel eyeliner is easy for make up beginners to pick up. also comes with a built in sharpener to get ultra precise lines.

firstly, korean domestic brands are much more affordable. secondly, stila is hella expensive! for the same price you can get shu uemura which gives you almost 4 times the amount of product. i've never tried any of them, paying ~27USD for an eyeliner is blowing my mind.

have you tried any of the above? are they really as good as their ranking?
