REVIEW: Etude House (not completely cruelty free) Peach Water Gloss (Strawberry Milk) 3 stars

Brand: Etude House
Parent Company: AmorePacific
Line: ?
Make-up Type: Lip Gloss (sponge applicator)
Origin:  South Korea
Tested on Animals: Parent company AmorePacific committed to ending testing in MAy 2013, but has yet to pull out of China.





Summary: The packaging is gorgeous, the color is gorgeous, but it's a little too sheer and has not so great coverage and lastability. The purpose of water gloss is to absorb into the lips and feel weightless and moisturized. This didn't happen...Great idea, not so great product quality.

Price: $7.99
Size: standard
Packaging: Comes with little box - the gloss tube is pretty and has the flower/tulip logo cover.
Scent/taste: neutral
Color: #2 Strawberry Milk
Texture: a little sticky
Ease of Use: a little messy and it's very sheer and wears off easily
Effect: pretty color, but several coats need to be added, and still it vanishes quickly...
Verdict.....Would not buy again...

REVIEW: Laneige (TESTS ON ANIMALS) Strawberry Yogurt Peeling Gel [5/5] *LOVE*

Brand: Laneige
Product Type: peeling gel
Origin: Korea

I've been wanting this for a while, (although I did find the mini sample tube and had to resist the urge to order like 5 of them....) and I finally found it for a decent-ish price...
Love the scent, love the packaging (also comes in a glossy paper box) AND it works!
There is some debate about peeling gels - whether the squishy balls that come off when you rub it into your skin is actually dead skin or ampules in the product that are designed to ball up and take dead skin off. So in the little balls would be dead skin, but the balls per-se are NOT dead skin...?
QUICK REVIEW:
Packaging: Pretty pink tube that comes in a glossy paper box
Scent: Strawberry-like (I am going to avoid that "yummy word" and not tell you that "i wanted to eat it but stopped myself" since that's all I ever hear about this product and it grates on my nerves!)
Texture: Smooth and cool with little grains
Effect: Super-smooth skin!
Price: $20 shipped
other: @ 150 ml, a great size!
