Yet another eye candy from Etude House!
This finish pact reminds me of Princess Etoinette. It's shaped like a diamond, it's pink, it's a pink diamond. There is even a tiara at the top and at the bottom of the pink diamond. The packaging is a win!
How it looks like upright
Everything is written in Korean in this packaging, it's quite inconvenient for people who doesn't know Korean (like me) T.T However, this is a relatively old product. Before I bought this, I had seen that this product had been sitting on the shelf for quite a while. Anyway, I notice that most Korean products are starting to add in English translations on most of their products nowadays which is really helpful.
This finishing powder came with a brush as well. But I honestly have never tried it out. I usually put away mini brushes that come with powders/blushes. When this little diamond is opened you will notice that the top part is heavier than the bottom, so the whole container would topple backwards if it's opened all the way without support.
Opened halfway. Here is how the powder and the mirror look like
A close up of the finishing powder
OKAY, here's the deal. I have to admit the packaging is really pretty. However the product is really meh! So far I like almost every product from Etude House, except for this. Well maybe the cookie blusher too. The BB Dation I didn't really like at first but I came to like it better in the end. But this!
This was my very first finishing powder. So back then I didn't really know what to expect from a 'finish pact' (I didn't know it was a highlighter lol). When I tried it on, nothing! I thought that was how it was supposed to be. Until my friend told me that her mother had to 'really dig into it to get the product'. So I tried that. After digging the crap out of the powder, I finally saw some of the powder on my brush. I think they're spending too much money on the packaging quality and not the product for this :( I'm getting quite pissed off just thinking about it right now lol.
The powder is supposed to be used on your T zones, cheekbones and chin. It does give off a beautiful iridescent shimmer. However it not really pigmented. It is very, very, very subtle on the skin. I had to build it up to see it working. It has a really faint fragrance, I can't really make out what it smells like but it smells nice. I personally don't really reach out for this product especially when I'm in a hurry to go out as it takes quite an amount of time to 'dig' out.
Pros:
- Beautifully packed
- Nice faint smell
- Beautiful shimmer
- Did not work for me
- Topples backward without support
- Not pigmented
- Quite troublesome - not suitable in a hurry
Rating: 2.5/5 for the pretty packaging
I don't really remember the price hehehe.
** This product I would not repurchase. It may not work on my skin (medium), but it may have different result on others.
