I know this sounds absolutely crazy, but the new Spring 2016 Etude House collection smells sooooo good that one may have the urge to taste it! Of course anything from this brand comes with ultra cute packaging, and the Berry Delicious collection is no exception.
The cuteness overload starts with these outer cartons, which I refuse to throw out! Maybe one day, I'd have the time to make some wall art out of all the Etude House cartons.
strawberry body scrub & body milk
What really drew me to Berry Delicious is the body care...especially this thick slice of bread, aka the Strawberry Bread Sponge. It's cute and hilarious at the same time. The "bread" is a perfect pairing to the jam-like Strawberry Body Scrub, which contains real strawberry seeds.
The scrub feels great on the skin. And I come out of the shower smelling like fresh strawberry. Who doesn't like that?!!!
The complimentary Strawberry Body Milk is true to its name - Super milky form and leaves my skin feeling soft and again smelling like strawberry all over.

strawberry lip jam scrub
If you have kids in the house, you may want to put this lip scrub in a safe place because it could easily pass as something edible! The label design resembles that of a jar of jam and it even says "strawberry jam" at the top of the label.
The texture of the scrub is a bit sticky and contains real strawberry seeds, walnut shell powder and sweet sugar grains. It doesn't feel harsh on the lips though.
Application is very simple - Apply on wet lips, gently massage all over and then wash off with lukewarm water. This is great to do once a week to remove dead skin and promote circulation on the lips. However, if you have chapped lips or dry lips, I do not recommend using any lip scrub as this process will further irritate the skin on your lips. My go-to for chapped lips has always been Vasaline Lip Therapy...it's my lip life-saver.

Lip Jam Scrub $9.10
color in liquid lips juicy
These lippies are extensions of Etude House Color In Liquid Lips collection, but of course, these come with the deliciously-smelling strawberry scent.
The applicator has been modified for Berry Delicious - It is now slightly angled, which makes for easier handling and more precise application. I know the 2 colors I've picked appear to be similar in this shot, but if you look at swatches below, you'll see the difference.

I've included 2 colors from the original Color In Liquid Lips collection for comparisons (they are marked in black letters). In fact, Berry Delicious PK 013 is pretty similar to Original BE 101. I've also mentioned this in my other Etude House post - It's best to prep with some lip balms as these Liquid Lips tend to dry up the lips after a while.
And this is how OR 207 (top) & PK 013 (bottom) look on my lips. One thing to note is that OR 207 does look more red in real life and PK 013 is more pink/mauve. It's a bit hard to tell in the photo.

fantastic color eyes
Last but not least, Berry Delicious' eye shadow palette. I'm not a huge eye-makeup person, but I can see myself using some of these colors as there is a good mix of natural and shimmery choices.
I have picked #8 Strawberry Fondue. The names of the colors are just lovely - Hazelnut Chocolate, Berry Milk Chocolate, Sugary Butter, Cheese Berry, Fresh Strawberry, Dip!Dip! I feel like I'm in a candy store.
Here are swatches in the exact same order. The pink & beige shimmery colors (last 2 on the far right) are not too heavy in the shimmer, so they are good for daytime use as well.

Hope you've enjoyed this review of the Berry Delicious collection! Writing this post makes me crave some chocolate-covered strawberries right about now...
