I got my Etude House Pink Box last week and it was filled with...chocolate (well, chocolate themed makeup, that is...even better)! These limited edition products were released right around Valentine's Day, and like most Etude House products, they're adorably packaged. Let's take a look!
I received two chocolate eyeshadow palettes and three nail colors from the Give Me Chocolate collection, plus their new Precious Mineral Any Cushion Moist formula and a sample of the new Face Blur primer.
If you're not familiar with Etude House, they're one of the biggest makeup brands in Korea and are popular around the world. They have a philosophy that using makeup should be like play, not just part of a boring daily routine, so all of the products come adorably packaged with cute themes.
They're reasonably priced, yet the products are really high quality, so they've definitely become a favorite brand of mine!
Etude's Precious Mineral BB Creams are super popular and I currently use their
Precious Mineral BB Perfect Fit...it has amazing coverage for a BB Cream, yet it looks so natural. So I was really excited to receive the
Precious Mineral Any Cushion Moist compact ($18), especially since I have dry skin and it's supposed to be very hydrating. This reminds me a lot of the Laneige BB Cushion I bought at Target last year
(see my review here) but this is a lot less expensive and I actually like the finish better.
The packaging is very similar to the Laneige BB Cushion...it has a sponge in the top section of the compact with a BB Cream-soaked sponge in the bottom of the compact.
It's so easy to use...you just dip the applicator into the BB sponge and pick up some product. Then you pat it all over your skin and it leaves you looking flawless. The coverage is medium with a demi-matte finish and it dries super fast. I love to keep this in my purse because I can do my entire face in about 30 seconds with this...so much easier than foundation on the go. This moisturizing formula is super lightweight and feels comfortable on my dry skin. I love it!
The
Give Me Chocolate shadows ($8.50 each) are super cute and come in little boxes that look like they have candy in them. Inside, the little compacts look like chocolate bars! There are three shades in all, and I received two of them (Salted Caramel is the third shade, not pictured).
Cherry Truffle has a peachy pink matte shade and a brown that has a bit of pink in it as well.

Both shades are soft and nicely pigmented!

Cacao Fudge has a sheer golden glitter shade and a matte chocolate brown.

The brown is soft and very pigmented, but the golden glitter shade is very sheer and difficult to build up.

Next, I received three limited edition nail polishes in Milk Cocoa, Cherry Ganache, and Mint Choco Chip.
Milk Cocoa is a deep chocolate brown shade, Cherry Ganache is a reddish-brown shade, and Mint Choco Chip is a mint green with little bits of chocolate brown in it. Mint Choco Chip is definitely my favorite! Sorry for the swatches on paper, but my nails are in no condition to be showcasing polish right now.
Beauty Shot Face Blur ($15) is a brand new primer that smooths, fills pores, and brightens. It has a creamy consistency and looks like lotion with a light pink tint. I used it once since this was just a sample, but I was immediately impressed with how smooth and soft it made my skin. It didn't feel like it was sitting on top of my skin like most primers...it actually sank in with no greasiness and the pink tint made my skin look brighter and more awake.
Overall, I loved my Pink Box and can't wait for next month! Etude House always impresses me with cute packaging and effective formulas. To check out the rest of their products, please check out their website,
