Etude House Dear Darling Tint 01 Berry Red Review

Today I'll be reviewing the Dear Darling Tint in Berry Red by Etude House. It's mainly used as a lip tint, but I think it can also be used on your cheeks. 
 This is what the packaging looks like (it did come wrapped in plastic though):
 The applicator:

 As you can see, it's a pretty bright red and a gel type consistency.
Blended out...
I think looks nice on the cheeks, it's very subtle. You just have to make sure that you blend it in properly. I usually dab it onto my index and middle finger first then blend it onto my cheeks. It dries pretty fast.
Bare lips (sorry for the hideous picture!):
With the tint:

The only problem I have with this is that it's really drying. I usually put on moisturizing lip balm a couple minutes after applying this. The staying power is ok, it lasts around 2-3 hours for me.

PROS:
  • nice colour
  • cheap (approx. $4-$6)
  • smells really good
  • doesn't fade too quickly
CONS:
  • drying
  • tastes bad

Korean Skincare!

Hello!
Yesterday I went to Pacific Mall in Markham to try some korean skincare stufffsss. I've never tried korean products before so I was really excited! I went to find some Etude House or Innisfree products but none of the stores carried any :'(. I did manage to find a couple things though! And sorry for the crappy photos :/


Tony Moly Dear Me Balancing Skin
I was so surprised to find that they had a Tony Moly store in Pacific Mall!! Anyway, I really like the packaging for this toner, It's simple, cute and I actually really like that it came with a lid. :P I can't exactly explain the smell....it's kind of floral? I don't really know, but I like it. It was $15 + tax.
Lioele A.C Control Foam Cleanser
 I've never tried Lioele before, but I'm liking this cleanser so far. I doesn't make me break out , which is a plus. It smells almost just like the Tony Moly toner....do all korean skincare products smell like this? lol
The lady at the store was super nice, she gave me a 10% discount on my purchase of this cleanser and the next product I'm going to show you. I got this for about $10 after the discount.
Lioele A.C Control Spot Patch

 I've heard really good reviews on this stuff so I decided to try it out. It comes in 5 packs with 12 stickers in each. 

The stickers are for putting on your existing or soon-to-be existing pimples. It says to leave it on for 8-12 hours so I'll probably use it before bed after cleansing. I haven't tried it yet but when I do I'll probably do a review on it. This was about $6 after the 10% discount.

If you want me to do a review on any of these items, let me know! :)
