Pros

I couldn't repurchase it because I bought it in Japan (it's sold out in Korea 😢) I have severe eczema on my lips, so I couldn't do any lip makeup at all, but this product is usable. It's just unbelievable!

Cons

The scent is unique, so those who are sensitive to cosmetic fragrances should be a little cautious! (My boyfriend really likes this scent though 😊)

Tip

Since it's matte, you should apply lip balm together!

Pros

The color payoff is great and the scent is wonderful~ It's a matter of personal preference, but haha the color is pretty and it's usable without any issues.

Cons

The longevity is a bit disappointing~ And it stains the hands, haha since you have to apply it with your fingers.

Pros

The more you apply it, the deeper the color becomes! That's why it's good to have some adjustability. There's a rose scent, but it doesn't seem to be too strong.

Cons

Since it's a tin case, the lid may suddenly become difficult to open! And the amount is very little. I thought it was a sample...ㅜㅠ As you use it, the color seems a bit monotonous. It's just red.... but it can be adjusted to some degree.

Tip

If you make a small scratch on the tin case lid with a knife or scissors, the gap will widen, and the lid will open more easily.

Pros

The color payoff is beautiful. There's no dryness and it applies smoothly. I usually just use this one product.

Cons

Having to apply it with your fingers? It's a bit unsanitary to use. And it contains parabens... That means I've been using parabens regularly..;;

Tip

If your lips get dry, it's good to apply a moisturizing balm first before using this.

Pros

The color is a clear, watery red, not too bright. The color can also appear orange-tinted depending on the light. When applied lightly, it gives a healthy flush. Whether applied in a moist or matte way, it looks beautiful, and the more it's layered, the redder the color becomes. Most importantly, it doesn't stain, making it easy to remove during cleansing.

Cons

The fragrance? It's too strong, so it may divide opinions. I liked it, but my friends didn't really care for it.

Tip

Moisturizing lip balm + light application for full coverage = healthy, radiant complexion Matte lip balm + gradient/full coverage = mature Lip balm + gradient/full + lip gloss/vaseline/oil = beautiful

Pros

The scent is so lovely and the color applies so naturally. It's great that it doesn't look too bold. I tried this and also briefly used another company's tint, but I had breakouts with the other one. I didn't have any trouble with this one.

Cons

The price is a bit high compared to the amount. The scent is quite divisive. It's packaged in a can, so it feels unsanitary. If you keep it for a long time, something white starts to appear around the edges.

Pros

The color is beautiful, and it has an expensive feel. As soon as I tried the tester, the color was so pretty that I immediately bought it. When applied to the cheeks, it looks as pretty as a natural flush.

Cons

Since it's a powder type, dust sticks to my hands every time I apply it. It's frustrating. The tin case is fragile, so you can't press too hard or it will deform the shape. The scent is unique, and some may dislike it. Personally, I just use it as is.

Pros

The reason I cherish this tint the most is its pigmentation. It applies like a red crayon, with a vibrant red color. Lipsticks tend to wear off quickly, but this solid tint has great staying power and a sweet floral scent. When applied lightly, it creates a natural flushed look, and when applied more heavily, it becomes an alluring red lip. This may just be the most honest red lip product I own. I use it often, but it lasts a long time as the pigmentation is so good - I'm eager to buy a new one soon!

Cons

The packaging is inconvenient - it's a tin-like container that's frustrating when the lid falls off while twisting it. It's also very small, and I've lost it once and had to repurchase. The main downside of this type of tint is having to apply it with your fingers, which raises hygiene concerns. But I haven't found any other issues with the product itself and am satisfied using it.

Tip

At Lush, they have tester applicator tips you can take a few of. I use those when applying this tint, so I don't have to dip my fingers in. You can also use a cotton swab, but that tends to pick up dust. So I make sure to grab some of those Lush tester tips whenever I visit - it's a bit conspicuous, but worth it!

Pros

1. A captivating color that cannot be found in existing lip products♥ 2. Moisturizing 3. Wonderful fragrance 4. Generous volume 5. Not the cheapest, but the price is reasonable considering the volume

Cons

1. May be unsanitary as it needs to be scooped out by hand 2. While moisturizing, the longevity is not exceptionally high 3. Moisturizing, but some visible flaking may occur (That's why I don't spread it on, but dab it gently while using)

Tip

The color is so beautiful that it covers all the drawbacks for me^^ I was hesitant to buy it due to the price, but it was a choice I absolutely do not regret. Oh, and the fragrance is a bit strong, so it may be divisive, but I personally love that rare almond-like scent(ㅋㅋ)

Pros

It is quite moisturizing. The color payoff is really good too.

Cons

The fragrance is hit or miss... I'm not a fan of it 😭😭😭 Maybe the tester at the store was left open, so the scent has faded... The new product... had a very strong fragrance... When applied on the lips, you have to keep smelling it constantly lol lol lol lol lol

Tip

Make sure to thoroughly test the fragrance before purchasing.
