Hiya Everyone
Last week I received a package of some items I purchased from beautynetkorea.com, and amongst them was the very cutely packaged Etude House Baby Choux Paste.
I have other colour correcting bases, but this is my first pink one, and I was keen to give it a go.

What is it?
Description from the product packaging:
The light and fluffy choux cream-like makeup base creates baby choux skin with its moist inside and soft smoothness on the outside.
Baby Choux paste comes in 3 different colours - I chose berry choux for a pale skin tone (I would consider myself light/medium). The other colours are mint to correct a red skin tone, and peach to correct a dark skin tone with yellow colour.
This product does contain Dimethicone for those sensitive to it.

Packaging
The cardboard packaging is really cute pink pin stripe with little profiteroles over it - its very bakery style.
The product itself is in a light pink squeeze flat tube with a gold lid.
The cream is dispensed from an opening roughly the size of a "hundreds and thousand".

First Impressions
The product is a lovely baby pink colour with a sweet scent (though not obnoxious at all).
The cream has a lovely texture. It doesn't feel silicon-y - it just feels like a very light cream. It blended onto my face nicely, and filled in fine lines (you can see the file lines on my hand filled in below) and pores - not a porcelain like finish, but definitely an improvement.
About 30 seconds after the product was applied, my skin felt nice and smooth. It dried down to a silky finish - a perfect base of face make up.
Although the product is clearly pink, my face was not left with a pink hue.

Was it Any Good?
Note: Prior to putting the choux cream on my skin, I had cleansed and applied toner, hydraluron, eye cream and face moisturiser - the usual routine
This product created a beautiful smooth base to apply my BB cream over (Liole Tripe the Solution - a very thick BB cream). Once I had the products on, I could really feel them for a minute or so, and I didn't like the way my skin looked. I did not apply powder, or any other facial products.
After that minute, I looked at myself again in the mirror (with morning daylight coming through the windows), and my skin looked really nice. My fine lines and pore were visibly reduced, but I didn't look plastic-like.
After four hours or so, my skin has the slightest hint of shine in the t-zone, but nothing that would have me running off to find my blotting sheets. The BB cream did not start to break down in any area of my face.
