Review | Etude House Bling In the Sea Proof 10 Bling Eye Stick OR201

Every make-up Princesses know how good and pretty products Etude House has. Just who can resist such girly, princess-y, pink and affordable makeups, right? Bling in the Sea is one of the newest make-up line of Etude House and if I was not mistaken, the theme was about freshness for the summer. 
I was one of the lucky one who were able to receive the Etude House Bling in the Sea Proof 10 Bling Eye Stick inside the loot bag from Etude House's previous annual event, Princess Academy. Now, let me share with you my experience with this eyeshadow stick from Etude House's Bling in the sea line.

Okay, Etude House has once again won over their cutest packaging ever! Each bling stick comes in a plae blue tube with silver, bling-y writing. The design is a sparkles around the upper part of the tube, and just like their Bling Bling Eye Stick, the old and plain version of this Bling stick, it is also a twist up type. Also, each stick has this sticker on the top of the lid which is obviously, the shade indicator. Manufactured date, check! 
My first impression after opening this was "Uh oh~ how am I gonna use this one? Should I just give it away?". Why did i said that? because they're almost made out of shimmers that it lacks of creaminess in it, that it is too light to be used as an eyeshadow and barely visible. And here's this stupid little question of mine, I thought, it's pink, then why is it white? LOL but of course that question was immediately answered after I swatched it. :)
      
The first photo was taken under natural lighting, but since the color isn't showing, I tried to took another photo with flash, refer to the second photo. From left to right, it was swatched thicker.
As you can see, the color is not that opaque, so using them as eyeshadow alone won't be a good idea. I tried to use it as highlighter but also didn't work because the shimmers are too obvious. What about as eyeliners just like what the advertisement says? I don't think so, the stick is too thick and you might end up applying too much product on your eyes though you can use it to highlight the inner eye corner.
If that's the case, what am I gonna do with my Bling stick?
The answer is very simple, Play Etude! ♥
Here's what I did:

I layered my bling stick on top of my black eyeliner and see how pretty and glam my eyeliner looks? Though the effect is somewhat pink-ish than coral, it's still pretty. Or if you have a favorite matte eyeshadow and wanted to play with it, use your bling stick as your eyeshadow base to give your matte shadows sparkles. It stays on the whole day but you will notice a slight fading. You can actually do more with this bling stick, with your blush and lipstick!
Overall Experience: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 3/5
