As many of you may know, I love an eye shadow palette. So, when I got one of the Etude Play Color Eyes Heart Blossom Palettes in a subscription box, I had to get my hands on the rest of them. Keep reading to learn more about the palettes, my and the Koreans’ thoughts, and where you can find one yourself.

K-Points: 8/10
So, for beauty reviews, unlike my album unboxings, I will be much harsher because this can directly impact your health, whereas buying K-Pop albums does not. It just impacts your wallet. As such, all of my beauty reviews will be out of 10 points. I will not be going over that number.
Honestly, I really like these palettes. They’re perfect for travel, have varying undertones, and you can get a variety of different looks with all of them. Plus, they’re all perfect all year round. That being said, I have one complaint. I feel like space was wasted on the little sponge applicator. I will most likely not use them as I prefer to use brushes and for glitters, my fingers.
What are the Koreans saying?
I was digging through reviews on 화해 (Hwahae)*, a Korean skincare app that lists out the ingredients of products from many brands for people to look through as well as post reviews. So, instead of going through and talking about what the Koreans thought since there are 4 palettes, I will rank all 4 in order based on the number of reviews and stars. Also, I included the release date of the palettes so that you can that into account with the number of reviews.
X in Order of Popularity:
- #01 Beige Blossom (31 reviews 4.55/5 stars)
- #03 Pink Blossom (26 reviews 4.08/5 stars)
- #04 Dry Blossom (14 reviews 4.21/5 stars)
- #02 Coral Blossom (13 reviews 4.08/5 stars)
Where Can I Buy It?
Whenever I buy K-Beauty, I do shop at a couple of different places. If you want to see all of the places that I shop at, you can check them all out here. I picked these up at a number of different places, including Style Korean and Olive Young. With a number of the places I shop for cosmetics at, you can also use Rakuten for cash back off of your purchases on their site.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!
Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!
