Etude House Dreaming Swan Collection Review

The Etude House Dreaming Swan Collection is brand new this month and as always, it's super adorable. I just got my blogger Pink Box and was really excited to see this collection inside. 

The Dreaming Swan Collection packaging was designed by Australian Fashion Illustrator Kerrie Hess, who has drawn for Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade and more. She's been featured in tons of magazines too, such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
This collection is meant to take you back to when you were a little girl and dreamed of becoming a ballerina. I don't know about you, but I took ballet when I was 8 years old and I definitely had that dream for a little while!

There are a lot of different products in the Dreaming Swan Collection but today I'll be reviewing the Dreaming Swan Value Kit ($20). This kit contains one lipstick, Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk in #02 Pointe Coral and an eye and cheek powder, Dreaming Swan Eye and Cheek in #02 Pointe Coral.

Both products come housed in an adorable pink and cream canvas zipper case that has a pretty calico lining and a tutu on top. It reminds me of a case I had as a child...I feel like I had something almost identical to this that I stored my Tinkerbell nail polish and jelly bracelets in!
It has a removable upper compartment with a larger one underneath.

Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk ($8.50) is made with Coconut Seed Butter and Carnuba Wax. It looks brighter in the tube than it actually is...it's a soft coral shade. It feels very soft and balm-like as you're putting it on and has a satin finish at first.  But it quickly dries to a milky, opaque matte finish that accentuates every dry patch on my lips.  I tried exfoliating before-hand and that helped a bit, but overall, I'm not a huge fan of matte lipsticks because I have chronically dry lips. But that's just me...if you like mattes, this is one of the most moisturizing versions I've tried!

The Dreaming Swan Eye and Cheek ($13) is a beautiful pore-blurring silky powder that can be used on your eyes or cheeks. It comes in a cute metal tin with a screw-top lid.

Inside, there's a puff applicator with a pink tutu as a handle.  I could see using the puff on your face, but for my eyes, I just used an eyeshadow brush. The powder is a very light shimmery pink, almost like a highlighter.

Here are the swatches of the lipstick and powder...the colors are so soft and beautiful!

I also received a Precious Mineral Any Cushion foundation (to see my previous review, please click here) along with an empty Dreaming Swan-themed case ($8) for it.

There are three different Dreaming Swan themed case styles...mine is a peachy color with ballet shoes on it. Since the Precious Mineral Any Cushion foundation case is meant to be reusable, I can just pop out the foundation cushion out of the white case and snap it into the Dreaming Swan case. 

Overall, the lipstick wasn't my favorite formula, but I really liked the Eye and Cheek powder and the packaging and cute little case is just so adorable!
