This is a mini Minnie Mini review. Ha, I saw the chance and had to run with it, forgive me.
A few months ago the Korean brand Etude House released a collection featuring the ever fashionable Minnie Mouse. As part of the collection they offered up two lipstick and nail polish shades. #01 Mini Red and #02 Bubble Pink. I went with #01 Mini Red for both and wow, am I ever glad I did.
This is a knockout blue based dark vibrant red that is far sexier than anything I would expect from the adorable cutesie packaging. We’re talking way more Jessica Rabbit territory here rather than Minnie Mouse. So, all in all, if you are tempted to channel one of the animated stars of an adult website such as https://www.cartoonporno.xxx/ this could be the perfect lipstick for you. Everyone deserves to try on a sexy makeup look once in a while after all.
The lipstick is outstanding. The colour is just to die for. I like it much better than Mac’s RiRi Woo (sorry Rihanna, Minnie slays you here) or Russian Red. It’s a warm toned blue red that doesn’t have any real pink in it no matter how lightly you apply it. I really dislike buying a red lipstick only to discover it reads as magenta as it fades. This colour stays true. The formulation is very much on par with high end department store brands. Don’t be fooled by plastic packaging and cartoon exterior, this stuff is lush and gorgeous. It doesn’t bleed into fine lines and it’s pretty moisturizing without being tacky or sticky. The staying power is pretty good and definitely doesn’t melt off your lips in an ugly way like some do. As with most red lipsticks this might stain your lips a little until you use makeup remover at the end of the night to properly remove all traces of your day. Red is still a huge lipstick trend and every person that wears makeup needs to own a good red. For me, this red isn’t just good, it’s perfect.
The nail polish of the same name is very much in keeping with the true blue dark red. It’s such a beautiful statement colour, especially paired with the matching lips. The swatch on the left is of my nails and the one on the right is from the Etude House website, it’s true colour is somewhere in between the two. Definitely not as oxblood as the right swatch but a little deeper than the left. I never thought I’d call anything branded with Minnie Mouse sultry, but this certainly is. As far as it’s durability I really couldn’t say with any honesty. I just broke this stuff open for the first time yesterday and I change my polish once a week. I’ll edit this post later if any major chipping becomes apparent before the week is up.

Thanks to the brilliant shade, price, and formulations, I can’t help but give this mouse five turtles.
