Haul: Etude House Help My Finger Quick Dry Drops, Apricot Stick Gloss #8


Hi all!

I went shopping & picked up these 2 from Etude House: Apricot Stick Gloss in #8 Refreshing Cherry and Help My Finger Quick Dry Drops! I also received a few samples. Etude House always gives me some samples regardess of what I buy.


1) Etude House Help My Finger Quick Dry Drops


I was watching Get It Beauty on TV the other day and they were reviewing products for quick-dry manis. This "E" brand got the best review and was ranked #1 even above OPI's Rapid dry and Innisfree Eco Quick Dry (a product I've been wanting to try). I guessed that it was "Etude House" & true enough, it was! I saw that this was on sale at $6 and so I picked it up to try.


It comes with a dropper which is really easy to use. The formula is thinner and more watery than I expected and it really spreads out easily onto your whole nail. I find that you have to try a few times to know which is a better spot to drop it such that it will cover your whole nail. I do not smell any strong odour either. I only dislike that it also spreads beyond the nails and I have to wipe up the sides.

2) Etude House Apricot Stick Gloss in #8 Refreshing Cherry 


Got this on a whim because it was inexpensive and the colour looked nice when I swatched it. I was actually looking for a tinted lip balm but I've not really been erm actively looking for one. I've not noticed this product before but I like that it is a balm texture and did not feel sticky. The colour is quite buildable and also has a subtle cherry scent! It also does not settle into lip lines. "Stick lip gloss" seems so confusing lol but I would consider this to be more of a tinted lip balm! It also has quite a bit of product. I actually twisted up the whole thing and then quickly twisted it back when I suddenly realise that it may get stuck and not go back down! lol, fortunately it works find.
I've yet to really wear this to give a proper review! Just first impressions.

That's all! :)
