Awhile back I received a sample piece of Etude House Cherry Tint with my purchase of the Etude House Peach Baby Choux Base and I’ve been wanting to do a review on it but decided that if I did a comparison review it’ll be more useful for you guys! The only lip tint I have is the Benefit Benetint one so that’ll be what I’m going to compare the Etude House tint against! (Kinda like a East meets West cosmetics battle haha) Read on for the review and comparison!

Etude House Cherry Tint – Red

Formula – It is a cream like texture, does not bleed and feels a little like lip gloss. It’s not sticky at all which is a real plus and absorbs quickly.

Colour – It has a pinky/peach colour and is actually quite bright with colour pay off being really high. Check out the swatch below.

Value for money – It’s about $7AUD on Ebay and for aprox 9mls of product it’s not too pricey (especially when it’ll last quite awhile)

I rate it: 4/5

Benefit Benetint

Formula – It is a liquid formula which of course, bleeds like mad so you have to work quickly before it goes to places you’d rather not have it bleed to.

Colour – It is a deep blood red, so over application can lead to a bloody looking lip (which is really not awesome). It isn’t as bright as the Etude House Cherry Tint and the colour pay off is decent, though not as much as the Etude House one.

Value for money – It costs about $30USD for 12mls of product which works out to be pretty darn expensive (at least compared to how much Etude House is selling theirs for)

I rate it: 3/5

If I hadn’t already bought the Benefit Benetint, I’d be all over the Etude House Cherry Tint! I can’t compare it against any other Asian branded lip tint (TonyMoly, Holika Holika, etc) as I don’t have any samples or products of it but I’m sure it’ll work out to be a much cheaper option than Benetint!
