Review: Etude House Color My Brows Rich Brown

14. April 2013
Here is a review for Etude House Color My Brows in color Rich Brown. I have pitch black eyebrows and they are naturally very dense. Since my hair is dark brown, and usually I’m coloring them in lighter brown shades I wanted to achieve a slightly brighter eyebrow color. I was eyeing this product from Etude House therefore since it is available in 3 shades: Rich Brown, Red Brown and Light Brown (EDIT: available in 5 shades by now).
Here is the product description and advertorial picture from Etude House:
What it is:
 A mascara only for eyebrow to keep its layer neat and give natural but urbane colors.
What it does:
– Hide dark & black brow: Providing natural and clear brow colors by hiding its own dark color.
– Easy & Quick brow coloring: Quickly dried to make brow layer and color fixed even while re-applying.
– Brow care: Allantoin, Beeswax, Carnauba wax provide nutrition and moisture on skin and brow.

 Detail
#1 Rich Brown: For dark hair such as black or dark brown
#2 Light Brown: For bright hair such as blondie light brown
#3 Red Brown: For red-ish hair such as wine, red brown
#4 Natural Brown: For bright hair such as natural brown
#5 Blondie Brown: For very bright hair such as gold, blondie brown

 How to apply
– Lightly touch eyebrow in the opposite direction of eyebrow to layer color.
– Comb towards eyebrow layer to make them neat. Make brow head’s layer to stand.

Beauty Tip
– In case of lack of eyebrow hair, use eyebrow pencil to make eyebrow line first and use Color My Brow: It makes naturally clear eyebrow.

As you can see from the picture below it looks like a mascara brush. You can easily color your eyebrow hair using the brush. The packaging is simple, but yet feminine and girly with the scallops and pink. It does a good job in coloring my black hair to a dark brown.

The color is matte on the brows and I could create a discrete brighter color of my brows without looking too unnatural. At the beginning you have to be careful not to color the skin around your brows, but even if you do you can correct it easily with a Q-tip :D The only thing I have to remark (at least with my natural dark brows) that it wears of during the day. In the evening the brows look darker again. the bottle contains 4.5 g and costs around US$ 7.80 at the Etude House Official Store. You can find this product on W2Beauty for US$ 9.24.

Review: Etude House Collagen Moistful Cream

12. April 2013
Here is a review for Etude House Collagen Moistfull Cream. Like Etude House’s Flower Moistful Cream I got a whole bunch of samples from my previous ebay haul.
Here is what they write on Etude House’s web page for the full-size jar. They also provide a describing image which in Korean:

———————————————————————————————
Product Description
Fight for the dryness!! Firming moisture cream with baobab tree and collagen extract improving your dermal structure leaving tight and moist skin.
Baobab Tree + Collagen combination improves dermal structure and moisture retention.
Capacity
50ml
———————————————————————————————


Here is a picture from one of the samples I used. The texture is the same like Etude House Flower Moistful Cream, a gel-like structure that absorbs really quickly into the skin.


When I tested the Etude House Flower Moistful Cream I really liked the flowery smell of the cream. Personally, I don’t like the smell of the Collagen Moistful cream so much as I liked the other one. Except for this both products are similar. You don’t need a lot of product for covering your face and the face really feels soft afterwards and not sticky or greasy. It didn’t make any problems combined with a BB cream on top of it and it didn’t look greasy at all. I have dry skin and this cream works perfectly for me. I can’t say anything for the effect of the collagen, I think you have to use it on long-term to see any effects.

If I would decide between this one and Etude House Flower Moistful, I would buy the Flower Moistful Cream because I absolutely loved the scent, that’s why I only rate it 4/5. Nevertheless, in quality both creams are similar.
60 ml in a jar together with a 20 ml bottle of Etude House Collagen Moistful First Essence cost around US$16 at ebay (here).
