I was captivated by the limited edition “Sweet Marble” products!

They look soooo pretty with the swirls and shimmers!

Cheekilious, Lippilious~

For this spring, Ettusais have specially launched these 2 limited edition products! Not only do they come in pretty marble patterns, they are also loaded with lots of skin-loving ingredients!

As I have mentioned before, the Cheek Color is one of ettusais’ best selling point make-up product. And for this limited edition series, Ettusais is introducing 3 swirl colors – Candy Sweet, Glowy & Natural.

I’ve got the Glowy OR3! It’s a healthy orangey shade.

The swirls are a combination of 3 colors:
the BASE color complements our natural skin tone, the COLOR pigments gives a radiant glow and the PEARL particles provides a slight shimmers to reflect light from within. So when all 3 colors are mixed together, the finish is beautiful and natural.

Pick up some powder with the sponge application.

And pat on your cheeks! It’s slightly weird on my first application as I’m so used to brushing my blusher on, but I’ve gotten the hang of it now! The puff minimizes friction to prevent further irritation of the skin, especially if you have blemishes on the cheek area & sensitive skin! I like the softness of it!

Verdict: I love how the healthy orange goes with my skin color. You can control the color intensity by layering it. Pat on more layers if you want a stronger and vivid color! As well, the shimmers are not excessively in-your-face. It gives a nice natural glow. And I do enjoy using the special puff! I’m always using a lot of force when I sweep my blusher on with a brush. And a good blusher brush doesn’t come cheap. Whereas for Ettusais Cheek Color, the sponge puff is included underneath the color and in any case should you require a replacement, it’s retailing at $5 only.

The Cheek Color is also formulated with AC Control oil to keeps skin zits free and hydrated at the same time. But do remember to wash your puff! I do it weekly, as well my foundation sponge and make-up brushes too.

It is VERY important to wash our make-up tools as they pick up the oil and dirt on our skin when they use them. You don’t wanna be smearing bacteria all over your face!

Ettusais Cheek Color puff can easily be removed from the base plate.Photobucket

Surprise, surprise! – The puff application is designed like our earphones! Simply remove the tablet from the sponge and wash the sponge with soap and water. Have it air-dried before putting back.

Moving on, the limited edition Sweet Marble Gloss also comes in the 3 shades!

The one I’ve is the natural one, BE4.

Besides the pretty marble swirls, the unique spatula application is also a highlight of the product! This ensures the gloss to glide on evenly and smoothly!

The usual applicators in the market are usually a brush or a squeeze-out version. I’m always feeling skeptical about using a lip brush, for hygiene reasons. And with this type of spatula, the shine of the gloss will be at its maximum!

*Tips: Apply the gloss only to the center part of your lips. This way, your lips will look more pouty! Applying on your whole lips will make it look oily instead of juicy!
Photobucket

Verdict: I’m not a big fan of lip gloss as I don’t like the sticky feeling. Usually, I will just apply a thin layer to get the shine. I find the texture of this marble gloss a little thick, probably because of its moisturizing effects! The gloss is added with Jojoba Oil and it kept my lips moisturized and soft. The gloss is pretty lasting as well. After having some food and wiping my lips, there’s still some shine and color. So, lesser touch-ups!
Now, you might be wondering about the swirls! As girls, we always like our things to look as good as it is. For this marble gloss, the swirls do stay! I have used it for several times and the swirls are still there! ;)

Both limited edition Sweet Marble products are already in stores!

Cheek color is retailing at $29.00 & lip gloss is at $28. Do check them out at the Ettusais counters and get cheekilious, lippilious this spring! =D
