Review: Etude House Bling Bling Stick in Ivory Baby Star

Hello everyone, happy September! Today is a review on Etude House's eyeshadow sticks which are full of shimmery goodness. I'm really excited for this product it's been awhile since I've reviewed an Etude House product~



Fully winded up



These Bling Bling sticks are in my opinion used mainly for the inner corner and lower lashline highlight since they are all light in color and the packaging makes it easy to apply. It's in pencil kind of shape and is about 11 cm long with just over 2 cm worth of product, making it very compact and easy to bring along. The product is a wind up which means no sharpening (yes!). The top of the stick is round so it won't be too sharp when applying. It's also a little big which makes it difficult to apply in the inner corner without getting it everywhere so I have to be a bit more careful.




The texture feels quite sticky yet are easily blendable. They feel like they'll stay put on very well because the stickiness helps the glitter stay in place. Sometimes putting on powder glitter it can fall all over the cheeks while this is very convenient because it's just as glittery but without the fallout. I was quite surprised at how glittery it was, it's definitely the quintessential shade that k-pop idols wear on stage. But for everyday it can be a bit much so I prefer to be light-handed with the product. It's so beautiful though, look at the swatches it's just so pigmented and bling-bling (haha) and I just love the color.






The color I bought is Ivory Baby Star and it's the most flesh-toned/tan shade in the collection. The other colors leaned too white, gold and pink for me since the whole purpose of buying these was for a highlight and those would of been too strong. This would be the most natural shade out of the 4 and I'm very happy with the color! It's very brightening and adds a pop to your everyday or night look.



This does not fade or move on the inner corner during the day it stays very well. As I have oily eyelids I would definitely prime if I was using this on my eyelids.

Overall this Bling Bling stick is adorable and convenient! It's super pigmented, shimmery and long-lasting. If you are looking for the perfect neutral (not too yellow/pink/white) I recommend this shade. But I recommend all the colors if you're just looking for a beautiful high powered crazy shimmery highlight! It's amazing. And I'm really excited to try out more Etude House products.

I bought mine from Yesstyle for around $12AU.
