Etude House: Milk screw review

I really like this.



Packaging:
Smooth plastic redish-orange body with a long white cap. Twist up format. Not the most glamorous looking but still a cute girly looking product, it has kind of a flimsy feel to it at times, but it works pretty well for me. The product itself is probably the same size as a normal chapstick, its a flat top design like chapstick.

Smell:
It smells sweet and maybe a little citrusy. Its not like cookies vanilla sweet, I wouldn't describe it as mangos though, maybe there's a hint of mango that I'm not really detecting. I do like the smell and it taste alright too, the smell does go away once on the lips, atleast for me I can't really smell it.

Color:
Its a sheer pretty color, but I think it differs with skin tone and how pigmented your lips are. The packaging color the actual product color is very similar. Since it was the darkest color of the lot that I chose, its a mix of orange and red, leaning towards red more. On my skin it looks orange but on my lips it looks red. I love the color, it looks like I've been eating strawberry popsicles all day. Its a juicy delicious red, not too dark and it goes great with my skin tone. I think its perfect for those who are too scared to wear red on their lips, I think this is the perfect amount of red without looking to garish, because its so sheer it still looks like your natural lip color.
My boyfriend perfectly described it as makeout lips, you know after an intense makeout session, blood rushes to your lips giving it a deeper color, yeah this would be it.

Texture:
It says its a lip balm, but I'm not so sure. Its not completely moisturizing, it doesn't seem like its healthy for my lips, it has a waxy consistency. It feels better than gloss in the sense it doesn't slip and slide everywhere, but not as good as chapstick and regular lip balm. It does have a sheen to it, but not crazy glossy, it does feel better than lipstick, there are no sparkles or glitter, which I like.

Staying power:
2 hours max and it gradually fades away. Sadly it is not a long lasting product, especially if you're the type that licks your lips.

Overall:
Its a nice simple product for only 12-13 ringgit, I think its worth it, although I did buy it on sale for 10 something. I use it when I need color on my lips and lipstick would be too much for the occasion, I definitely think it's worth trying out.
