Review: Etude House Look At My Eyes Cafe

*Disclaimer: This review was sponsored by Twofacemall. All opinions expressed are mine and 100% honest.

Hello everyone! Today I have a short review on two eye shadows from Etude House's Look At My Eyes Cafe. If I'm not mistaken one of the colors was released back when Etude House first released their XOXO Minnie collection, and the other one has been around for awhile. This is probably one of the few eye shadow reviews I'll be doing since I normally don't wear eye shadows due to my complete lack of skills in eye makeup. ;__;

에뛰드 하우스 룩 앳 마이 아이즈 카페 (PK001 피치 라떼 & PK004 딥 베리 소다)

Name: Etude House Look At My Eyes Cafe (PK001 Peach Latte & PK004 Deep Berry Soda)

Price: 3,500원

Size: 2g

Diameter: 4 cm

The packaging is very simple but cute at the same time. You can see hearts on the eye shadows which every Etude House single eye shadow has (sadly those will wear out over time). Although it's made out of plastic, the container is actually quite sturdy and even a little hard to open sometimes. On the back of the container you'll find the manufacture date printed on it. 

Height: 1.3 cm

It's a little hard to photograph clear plastic on a white background, so if you can't see the picture very well kindly tilt your screen back a bit. ^^; 

It was kind of hard to take pictures of the true color of the eye shadows since the lighting wasn't so great today, however the image you see up there is pretty close to the actual colors. Both appear to be matte shadows but Peach Latte has some glitter in it. I still consider it a matte shadow though since the glitter is barely noticeable. I was actually a bit surprise when I first saw the color of PK004 because the promotion pictures show it as a cherry brown color, whereas the actual color is more burgundy pink. 

I only swatched PK004 once, but for PK001 I had to swatch it several times. The texture is a bit powdery but they apply smoothly. PK001 is, as the name "Peach Latte" suggests, a sheer peachy color that would look nice as a base, or on people with pale skin. PK004 would be good for a chic look or a fall burgundy makeup look. It seems like this color is kind of the "it" color this fall. Lol I would say that the pigmentation for PK004 is okay whereas PK001 is a bit too sheer.

They did smear a little bit when I rubbed on them, but I had to rub my arm a lot to get it to smear as much as it did in the picture (and that wouldn't happen unless you rub your eyes really hard- which I hope you don't!). 

I think the quality of the eye shadows are just so-so, but since the price is very cheap I don't mind. I actually thought the quality would be worse ^^; So I would say that the quality is just right for the price you pay. PK001 is good for natural or everyday makeup looks, but I think it suits people with pale skin more. PK004 is something that would be better for special occasions but not for everyday wear (unless you're a red/burgundy eye shadow kind of girl, in which that case be my guest~). If you don't like pink eye shadows (like me lol), you can still check out other Etude House eye shadows from their Look At My Eye lines. They have A LOT of shades to choose from, including glittery and pearl eye shadows as well. :)

What about you?

Have you tried Etude House eye shadows before? 

That's it for the review! I have so many things to do right now, but the good news is that I've finally worked out a blogging schedule. Now assuming that I actually follow the schedule, that'd be even better news. Thanks for reading~ :D
