Hello,
for today I have a lipstick tube since it has been a while since I wore one.
It is Etude Color Lasting Glow Stick lipstick in the shade Rosy Taupe. Packaging is rather large but I find it really nice with its gradient coloring.
Shade is more rosy than taupe and in the bullet it looks dark... I was pretty scared at this point. I prefer to wear lighter shades, more pink or nude but at this point I have almost completely abandon lipsticks. It has been quite a while I wore one so I wanted to get back with something glossy and sheer as presented in promo but I was not expecting rosy red shade.
It has a light floral scent, a bit different but not unpleasant.
It has this darkened red tone but at the same time it looks sheer and very glossy. Here I put on a lot on top and then sheer it out towards the bottom. applied lightly shade just kind of melts into my lips. It gives them freshness without being too much. With a light coat it does not stand out too much I just get that healthy looking glow (it is a bit less pronounced if applied lightly).
I really like the packaging (it clicks with a satisfying click), shade looks scary in the tube but on my lips it looks pretty natural and I love the shine. Floral scent does not bother me but I can see myself getting sick of it (I think I prefer warmer vanilla or fruity scent in my lip products).
This lipstick totally got me by surprise and took me to an unexpected rollercoaster.
There is another shade, named Pink Wish that got my attention now after I tried this one...
Thank you for reading and have a nice day
