ETUDE Dear Darling Water Tint Cherry Ade | Bright Vivid Color Lip Tint with Moisturizing Pomegranate & Grapefruit Extract to Hydrate your Lips

I’ve forgotten about this product then I remembered how good it was! I used it for years!!! It’s better than Benefit, I don’t need to retouch. It lasts THE WHOLE DAY. Even when sweating! I’m Asian, so I have a medium to light tan skin. It gives me that flush cheeks you get in the winter, looks SUPER DUPER natural and feels light on the skin since it’s a water tint

I love these lip tints, I also use them as blush and if i want a tiny bit of color on my eyelids. It’s super long lasting on the skin, its stays as a stain for a long time on the lips but the color will be less vibrant after a little while and will look more natural. I would suggest not to put too much on the lips at once because sometimes there is a little bit of color leak, but wouldn't not be noticeable on over drawn lips. I underline my lips so it’s noticeable for me. The texture is very light and watery, spread it quickly to spread it evenly or you might have areas with too much color.

this and the elf lip oil?? baby it’s my go to! the tint stays for a while! i got the orange one(i can’t remember the name and quite frankly i don’t care to go look) my only, ONLY grievance is the smell. it smells like medicine, but you get over it after a while. but then again other people in my life have smelled it and thoroughly enjoyed it.. so take that as you will. cheers !

Muy bonito le da un color hermoso a tus labios

Not really what I expected. The color is super pretty and I like that you can keep adding some on to get the depth you like, but it all came off after an hour and I even exfoliated before I put it on. It smells awesome and doesn’t taste weird when it bleeds inside your mouth from your lip...which was odd because most lip products taste weird. It ran so much from the first, thin later that you would’ve thought I poured in on my lips. Didn’t dry that fast either. I have stain on the inside of my lips now but that’s it. I didn’t even have to scrub it off my lips, it came off all on its own. And I haven’t even eaten or done anything since trying it out. My lips feel sticky after it faded and some of it bled onto the skin around my lips, and it did that as soon as I put on one thin coat. It just kinda ran from my lips to my skin. I was really bummed out because I can’t find a decent lip stain anywhere that doesn’t dry like gloss or lipstick. I don’t like chapstick either. I usually moisturize my lips with Vaseline. It’s the only thing that doesn’t make my lips feel weird. I like water based lip stains because they dry like water and you can’t feel them at all. I normally get the one from e.l.f but they quit selling my favorite color. This isn’t a horrible product, but it wasn’t worth ordering online and waiting for. It’s basically only a step up from what I’ve gotten at Dollar Tree. I can deal with the bleeding onto my skin, I can cover that, it’s the fact that it lasted an hour and all I was doing was watching tv. I wanted to see if it lasted like it claims. And sadly, it doesn’t. I used two coats and let it dry between each coat...and it just kinda faded super quick. I guess I’ll use it for certain occasions, but probably not often. I don’t really recommend this one. Probably won’t buy again.

One of the best lift tints out there

I am a tried and true fan of Benefit Cosmetics Benetint and this Etude House Dear Darling Water Tint looked quite similar to it as far as how it is packaged and color so I took a chance and bought both the Cherryade and the Strawberryade. It was only $3.88 each and I figured I didn't have much to lose if it wasn't any good. The two came the other day, well sealed and in .35 once glass bottles. Benetint has .4 ounce per full sized bottle for over $30.00.This stain is very watery and has a sponge tipped applicator as compared to to Benetint's brush applicator. I like the sponge better. The product is as thin as water and very pigmented. It can be used on both lips and cheeks. I wanted it for my cheeks but I also like lip stains like this as well.The Cherryade which is the first swatch on my hand is a true red. The Stawberryade is a deep pink shade. I am in process of getting the Orangeade now. The product has a pleasant scent and only a small amount is needed. I dot it onto one cheek then blend then do the other cheek. If I dot it on both cheeks and blend one at a time, the second one will be stained with little drops of the product. The key is to work fast and blend quickly. It leaves a perfectly natural flush on my cheeks that lasts for ages.On my lips, it doesn't last nearly as long since I do eat and drink and lick my lips, etc. It gives my lips a flushed, very natural look. It doesn't dry my lips out but I always exfoliate first and make sure my lips are in good shape before applying stains like this. This one does not give me prune lips.Although I like it well enough on my lips, it really is best for me on my cheeks. Blended well, it gives me such a natural flush that it looks like it comes from within. It lasts for hours too with no fading. It can tough to remove but it does come off with cleanser or makeup remover. If all else fails, oil will take it right off.As far as how this product compares to Benetint, it's is very, very close. Benetint lasts longer on my lips but the longevity and flush on my cheeks appears to be the same. And this one is 1/10th of the price! I am impressed and will be buying more. It's versatile, inexpensive, and really does the job. Now I want to try more products from Etude. Korean cosmetics are really unique and some are just amazing. This brand definitely gets a thumbs up from me so far. I am going with 5 stars even though it fades slightly faster on my lips than Benetint - based on the price and how it lasts on my cheeks.
