The Etude House Sweet Recipe Collection is Delicious

The Etude House Sweet Recipe makeup collection brings together some of the greatest things on earth: sweets and cosmetics.

However, they do take the color palette as well as aromas from these delectable sweets and infuses them into the line to create a concoction of beauty products.The Fairy Tale classic Hansel and Gretel served as the inspiration for the scrumptuous line of lipsticks, eyeshadows and glosses. As can be seen from the printed advertisements, some of the flavors featured in the collection include ice cream, savory chocolates, and fruit flavors such as strawberry, lychee and mango. The cosmetics are finished off with adorable packaging, which really makes the cosmetic lines truly irresistible. The Etude House Sweet Recipe collection guarantees an experience, which “perfectly represents the sweet dessert fulfilling the five senses.”
