I purchased 3:

L-R:  PK001 Blueberry Cheese Cake, PK002 Strawberry Chiffon Cake and OR202 Peach Sugar Cake

These tints are described as "cream textured colour for lips, cheek and eyes in delicious cupcake designs".

PK001 Blueberry Cheesecake (USD$7.20 for 10g) is a light lavender shade with warm pink undertones. 

PK002 Strawberry Chiffon Cake (USD$7.20 for 10g) is a light candy pink shade with warm coral undertones.

OR202 Peach Sugar Cake (USD$7.20 for 10g) is a vibrant peach shade with warm orange undertones.

As I have stated before with the lipsticks from this collection, they have a very strong scent so I would recommend giving them a sniff in-store if that's possible. These smell like fizzy peach.

The colour pay-off is good and the texture is very creamy almost like icing.

The formula on closer inspection is actually cream to powder. And that's where I found a problem. 

I really like to use these on the cheek because it means I don't have to set my blush like I would if I was wearing a liquid blush because it does it for me! However when I put these on my lips, it not only looked awful but it felt awful too. I don't know anybody who uses powdery products on their lips, do you? I don't know if you guys have every experienced, whether it be with talcum powder or flour when baking, if you get powder wet it turns into like a weird sticky paste. Well imagine that on your lips, that part of your lip where it is wetter (I don't know if this is making sense but it makes sense in my head haha!) it turned into a weird thick paste so when I opened my mouth to speak you could see this line of paste, not attractive.

So if you are buying this product hoping to use it all over like it states or you have very dry skin, then I would skip it. .

However if you want to use these colours as blushes like me, I think they are worth having in your collection!

Etude House Sweet Recipe Collection ~ Dear My Jelly Lips Talk in JOR203

Continuing on with the reviews of the Etude House Sweet Recipe Collection, is the second lipstick that I brought from the collection. Don't forget to check out my review of JPK003 if you haven't already!

(On Monday, the review of the Cupcake All Over Multi-Tints For Eyes, Lips and Cheek will be published, so look forward to that!)

Overview of Product

The product is described as being a "vibrant and shiny Jelly textured lipstick which supplies moist shine and sweet colours for long wear comfort".

There are a total of 8 colours to choose from in the collection:

I purchased mine in JOR203

Again, I really love how the colour of the lipstick is represented on the lipstick tube so you don't have to take the cap off to know which colour it is!

JOR203 is a deep burnt orange/red shade.

Left: 1 swatch            Right: 2-3 swatches

  The great thing about the formula is that you can totally build up the colour, like if you wanted it to be more opaque or more sheer depending on what you're looking for. That being said it is still opaque enough to cover your natural lip colour.

If you are just branching into deeper lip colours, a formula like this and also like the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains are great since it is so sheer and you can test how dark you like your lips to be  :D

Bare Lips

I found the product to be very moisturising and creamy on the lips, it just glides on and feels like I'm wearing a lip balm.

The ingredients in the lipstick are Bilberry, Sugar Cane, Sugar Maple, Orange, Lemon and Xylitol.

When I read the ingredient list I was looking forward to the scent because I thought it was going to smell like citrus!

However it smells like cinnamon and cloves and old spice and it gives me a headache.....blurgh :S So I would suggest if you are very sensitive to scents, not to purchase this product.


It lasted a good 1-2 hours on my lips (nothing really ever lasts longer since I tend to lick my lips when I'm nervous ha ha!)

Apart from the scent I think this shade would be great for people who are new to darker lips like I stated before, but it would also be great for the winter time since people are more likely to wear darker lips but winter is also notorious for making your lips cracked and sore like hell! So if you are going to be using a lip balm, why not use a tinted one? Am I right or am I right!?

This product retails for USD$8.90 (around S$12) for 3.4g (0.11 oz) of product on KollectionK and can also be found at your local Etude House outlet.

Etude House Sweet Recipe Collection ~ Dear My Jelly Lips Talk in JPK003

Hey guys!

I've recently brought some products from the Sweet Recipe Collection from Etude House and I'm going to be posting the swatches every other day. The collection came out late March here in Singapore, but I ordered mine online from a website called Kollectionk because their prices are cheaper than in store (so why not right?)

 Overview of Product
The product is described as being a "vibrant and shiny Jelly textured lipstick which supplies moist shine and sweet colours for long wear comfort".

There are a total of 8 colours to choose from in the collection:

I purchased mine in JPK003

The packaging is really simplistic, just a pearly tube with the coordinating colour to the lipstick around the base.

JPK003 is a subtle bright pink.

Left: 1 swipe       Right: 2-3 swipes

 The great thing about the formula is that you can totally build up the colour, like if you wanted it to be more opaque or more sheer depending on what you're looking for. That being said it is still opaque enough to cover your natural lip colour.

Bare Lips

I found the product to be very moisturising and creamy on the lips, it just glides on and feels like I'm wearing a lip balm.

The ingredients in the lipstick are Bilberry, Sugar Cane, Sugar Maple, Orange, Lemon and Xylitol.

When I read the ingredient list I was looking forward to the scent because I thought it was going to smell like citrus!

However it smells like cinnamon and cloves and old spice and it gives me a headache.....blurgh :S So I would suggest if you are very sensitive to scents, not to purchase this product.


It lasted a good 1-2 hours on my lips (nothing really ever lasts longer since I tend to lick my lips when I'm nervous ha ha!)

Apart from the scent I think these products would be great for spring and summer for just that added flush of colour on the lips and the glossiness without the heaviness that a lipstick or lip gloss can sometimes have.

This product retails for USD$8.90 (around S$12) for 3.4g (0.11 oz) of product on KollectionK and can also be found at your local Etude House outlet.

Thanks for stopping by!
