I was never much of a bright lip person until a few months ago - I attribute this mostly to my laziness in not wanting to scrub my mugs and cups that much hehehe. But you know what? That overused line is true - that there are no ugly women, just lazy women. These days, I’m armed with a sponge and dishwashing liquid for my mugs, and lip products galore in my carry-around pouch.
- #1 Orchid Pink
- #2 Bashful (Shy) Apricot Blossoms
- #3 Scented Fresh Coral (check my post on Innisfree Cushions Class for the swatch)
- #4 Spring Days Romance Peach
- #5 Refreshing Vitamin Red
- #6 Sunlight Focus Pink
- #7 Tangerine Orange
I say…
- It comes in a normal plastic tube with a screw-open cap attached to the applicator.
- The soft sponge applicator has a rounded tip for relatively accurate application around the corners and isn’t abrasive.
- I love the fruity citrus scent that comes with it.
- It glides on smoothly - it’s kinda like a really intensely-coloured lip gloss (or a watered-down version of a lipstick).
- The colour is crazy vibrant and is more hot pink than peach.
- Unlike the Etude House Color Lips-Fit, this doesn’t dry immediately upon application. Instead, it feels more moist and hydrating despite its similar matte finish (which takes about 5-10 mins to come into effect).
- Thankfully, the matte finish doesn’t emphasis some much on my moderately-chapped lips, so yay for all similar peeps out there - we can haz matte effect lips!
- That said, it does begin to seep into the cracks and lines of the lips after several hours of wear (about 2-3).
- Beauty tip: I found that I can actually “refresh” the colour by drinking some water and wetting my lips. But don’t do this too often - you’ll just end up transferring most of the colour onto your glass.
- After about 4-6 hours, it fades into a rosy just-bitten tint. At this point, if you’ve got chapped lips like me, your lip flakes will start forming and yes, they will be rosy just-bitten tinted too. hohoho.
- It also comes with a gloss finishing in case you don’t like the matte finish - I’m fine with both.
Surprisingly, I really like this (despite its matte finish) cos it’s so pigmented and one coat is enough to get a crazy vibrance that’s enough to brighten up your overall outlook. Now to buy them in all 7 colours ?
