I found an affordable natural lipstick from Bom Bom - it was the cheapest option with the best reviews, so I had to try it!
Comparing it to Sidmool and Sandawha, which I've used before:
Sidmool's color adheres well with a somewhat matte finish, but it's hard to maintain that initial feeling over time. I ended up turning it into a lip balm, but it grew mold (maybe the natural preservatives evaporated?), so I had to toss it. The ingredients seemed natural though!
Sandawha costs a bit more than Bom Bom's sale price and is also available at Shinsegae Mall. It has some really eye-catching shades that are great for summer. Bom Bom's colors are more subtle, perfect for spring and fall.
However, Sandawha doesn't adhere as well in a matte way and seems to resist staining completely - it comes off easily. Still, it has a soft, pillowy feel that's perfect for summer.
I'm hoping Bom Bom will be my go-to for autumn red lips!
This intense red shade reminds you that sunsets are naturally red. For those who prefer a more golden sunset look, it would be nice if they came out with orange or golden hues as well.
