Welcome to a new
series called Beauty Battle!
There are so many
different Kbeauty brands that have a wide variety of products. A lot of times
those products are similar. Because of the overlap, I decided to take some of
these products and put them up against each other.
There will be four
different categories that I will judge the products by: packaging,
application/ease of use, experience, and results. Points will be awarded in
each category and will be tallied up in the end. Whichever product has the most
points wins the battle!
For the first Beauty
Battle, I am putting the Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch Blueberry against
the Etude House Cherry Jelly Lips Patch.

Package
Both of the lip
patches come in sturdy plastic and pink packaging. The Tony Moly has ducks and
blueberries on it and the Etude House has a cat on it. I feel like both of the
products are cute and adorable and to be honest, I really don't have a
preference over one or the other. Because it's a toss up to me, I'm calling it
a draw and awarding each of the brands 1 point.
Application/Ease of use
For application/ease
of use of the product, I found that both products fit over my lips nicely at
first. However, as time went on, I found that the Tony Moly lip patch tended to
come off easier and didn't want to stay put. I constantly had to adjust the lip
patch. On the other hand, the Etude House lip path stayed in place and I didn't
find myself having to adjust the lip patch, which is why I'm awarding Etude
House 1 point for the better application.
Experience
Both the lip patches
felt cooling and tingling on the lips, which I felt was pleasant. The feeling
was essentially the same, but what differed between the two was the scents of
the products. The Tony Moly smelled of berries and the Etude House was supposed
to smell like cherries. However, the Etude House lip patch smelled more like a
wine/alcohol scent and I really did not like it. The Tony Moly lip patch is
getting the point in this round.
Results
As for the results,
I paid close attention to my lips during and after the treatment of each lip
patch. I used these lip patches around the same time and didn't change anything else about my routine.
I noticed that after I used the Etude House patch, my lips felt hydrated and
soft. This wasn't the case for the Tony Moly lip patch. My lips were dry and
patchy after use. For whatever reason, it seems that the Etude House brand was
better for my lips, so it gets the
point.
FINAL VERDICT:
Tony Moly: 2 points
Etude House: 3
points
And the winner is…
Just a note, even
though the Etude House lip patch won, I really think that I won't be
repurchasing either lip patches in the future. I just felt like overall both
lip patches were not impressive and I'm going to have to search for a better
one to use.
Anyway, I hope you
all liked this Beauty Battle series! I'll be sure to find more similar products
and put them to the test in the near future!
