Today I have a review of a relatively new product from Etude House, Etude House Dear My Essence in Lips Talk EOR201.
This is one of the first Etude House products I purchased on my trip to Korea. Here are some official pictures!
Description:
Enriched with Meadowfoam Seed Oil, this ultra-conditioning Essence in Lipstick melts into lips with luscious color and brilliant shine, leaving your lips smooth, moisturized and soft.
Price:
9,000₩ ($8 USD) at Etude House
Cheapest at $8 on Jolse
Pros:
♥ Cute, sturdy packaging
♥ Smells like peaches
♥ Pigmented
♥ Creamy and moisturizing
♥ Cheap
♥ Wide variety of colors to choose from
Cons:
★ Can not twist stick back down
★ Fades quickly
★ Extremely easy to smudge
★ Feels like cheap material
★ Feels like cheap material
The packaging is a standard plastic tube. It is 11.5 cm long, 1.25 cm in diameter, and weighs 2g.
Not sure if this is some kind of motto of Etude House, or if it's the name of the color (since it's so weird LMAO), but the translation of the hangul under EOR201 is "Keep Repeating Coral" ...what.
When you purchase it, of course the stick is going to be completely flat and smooth, but I applied it so there are some cracks on the stick now ; u ; The color in real life looks exactly the color in the photo above (unless you have some weird brightness/contrast/hue settings on your screen) and does not look anything look the color in the official photo LOL.
The above swatch only has one "coat". I would've taken more pictures of coats, but it doesn't seem to be build-able. I guess it kind of was, but there wasn't enough of a difference to tell.
As you can see, the color is a really sheer and glossy coral. You can't really tell by the photo, but there are some sparkles incorporated into it (I swear, EVERY Etude House product has sparkles in it like I'm not even exaggerating.) The color is a beautifully perfect mix of pink and orange. I strongly believe that the official picture for EOR201, is really misleading as the color isn't as creamy, opaque, and bold as they make it seem. It's a really wearable natural color.
Here is the scanned box.
I'm not even sure what to call this product. A lipstick, a lip tint? It feels like a really cheap lip crayon LMAO. Though it is moisturizing, it feels like it's made out of really bad quality products.
Have you ever bought a lipstick from the dollar store or some cheapo place out of curiosity? Or maybe, have you been blessed as a child to be given those "super cool" cellphone makeup toys? Then you know that awkward vaseline like feeling those lip products give, that soon dry into a painfully ugly crust on your lips...this product is like that except in cute packagingsoitsslightlymoreacceptableImeanwhat
While applying this onto my lips, the crayon slightly crumbled off into tiny bits (not dry crumbles). It crumbled off on my lips, to the sides of the tube, just ugh. I really don't like the feeling of this on my lips! It's such a shame since they're such pretty colors!
Upon application, it's really creamy and smooth (again, like vaseline lip balm or whatever). The product doesn't "absorb" into your lips, but instead kinda sits on top...if you wipe your mouth with a napkin or something, ALL of the product will slide off -.-; You guys probably don't even know how much your lips get touched, so I'm going to estimate the lasting power to be around an hour (probably less LMAO).
On my naturally pigmented lips, it doesn't show up coral, it shows up like my natural lip color except darker and glossier. If you have naturally pale, unpigmented lips, it'll probably look closer to the original color on you.

Excuse my face fuzz *gags*
My camera doesn't seem to execute the color very well (because my lips are darker after application in real life) But at least you can see that the sparkles don't show up on your lips!
Like any other lip product, remember to exfoliate and apply lip balm before application! This specific product accentuates your flakes and that's just gross LOL.
Overall, I give Etude House Dear My Essence in Lips Talk a ★★★☆☆ 3/5 stars.
The pigmentation is high, but the texture and lasting power is so low. It's nice for school and carrying around in your purse as it gives a natural color and the same shine as lip gloss without the stickiness. Would I repurchase this? N-O.
Well, thank you for reading! Hope you have a wonderful day~ xoxo
