I love how vibrant it is. The scent is lovely too. Overall, it's a product I'm really happy with in many ways.
ConsThe staying power is a bit disappointing. After eating a meal, I find that it's mostly worn off.

When applied as a gradient, it creates a dried rose color that's suitable for everyday wear. For a full lip application, it gives a brick-red look. I love that it offers two different vibes.
ConsI knew it was a matte lipstick, but... It's way too drying. When applying it full-lip, it's so stiff that even saying 'a-e-i-o-u' is a struggle. It feels like powder might come out of your mouth!? It's the ultimate matte among mattes. As for staying power... you absolutely can't eat anything after applying this.
TipUnless you're feeling really bold, you probably won't want to wear this as a full lip color out and about! But the color is actually quite nice when used for a gradient look.

The shade itself is vibrantly gorgeous. I bought the 'Bittersweet Chocolate' shade, which is a lovely toned-down red perfect for fall and winter. The gradient effect is relatively easy to achieve and looks pretty too. The staying power isn't bad either. Even after eating, the color remains vivid. And the button... it's quite unique! I'm not sure if it's particularly convenient, but it certainly seems creative.
ConsThere's just one issue, but it's a big one. It's a complete dead skin cells party. Even on days when my lips are in great condition - smooth and moisturized after my thorough lip care routine - this product instantly makes my lips flaky. On bad lip days, it's even worse. I know it's matte, but this is ridiculous. It's the worst matte lipstick I've ever used. I almost threw it in the trash after first applying it. It's pretty garbage, folks. I thought I bought it because it claimed to have some plant-based oil that forms a protective barrier and keeps dry lips moisturized, but that's not the case at all. Of course, this is just my subjective opinion, and it might work for others who find it pretty. Anyway, despite my best efforts to make it work, it's a product I rarely reach for.
TipHere's a tip: Don't apply it by swiping as you would with most lip products! First, apply a light layer of a watery tint or a moisturizing tint balm as a base. Then, gently pat this lipstick on top. This method significantly reduces the appearance of dead skin cells. Oh, and those swatches you see online? They're all enhanced with filters. You see the photos, right? The first one is filtered, while the blurry one is the real, unedited swatch! Don't be fooled - try it yourself before buying! I fell for it too, unfortunately.

The color payoff was truly beautiful.
ConsIt tends to crease a bit in fine lines, which is disappointing. Also, the button-type packaging makes it difficult to put the product back in, which was inconvenient.

I was looking for a deep, dark red, and this is absolutely the dream shade.
ConsIt comes off too easily. It's extremely matte. I feel bad mentioning this as a con since the product is designed to be matte, but... I wish there was a non-matte version in this exact color. That would be perfect.
TipIt's great to mix it with 'Bittersweet Coffee' or 'Hot Kiss' for variety. This combination keeps it interesting and prevents boredom with the shade.

I went to buy the famous 'bitter herb' shade but fell in love with this one instead. It's like a more affordable version of MAC's Chili! Even though it's a matte lipstick, it doesn't emphasize dead skin cells or settle into lines much. There's no feeling of deep dryness either.
ConsThe downside is that despite being matte, it transfers easily so you need to reapply frequently.

It's similar to a shade from Woodbury, but this one's a great affordable option. The pigmentation is excellent, just one swipe and you're good to go. The matte finish is absolutely stunning!
ConsSometimes the color application can be uneven. It's extremely matte, feeling moisturizing at first, but over time it severely emphasizes dead skin cells and wrinkles. You need to take good care of your lips before applying. It feels quite drying. The click-button applicator is a bit inconvenient. Also, it stains very easily, unfortunately.

It didn't accentuate any dead skin cells either!
ConsAs you use it, the lid becomes loose and opens on its own, which is frustrating.

If you apply it generously, it gives a rich, reddish chocolate hue that's so sophisticated. For a subtle look, just dab a little for a beautiful dried rose tint. It's truly stunning!
ConsOh dear, the staying power is a total disaster... It smudges everywhere, and I mean everywhere! Also, I've noticed that many of The Saem's lipsticks have questionable ingredients, which is disappointing.
TipIt can be a bit drying, so I recommend layering a lip gloss or lip balm on top for best results!

It's like a bittersweet chocolate shade. I bought it and it's exactly the color I've been dreaming of. I simply couldn't resist purchasing it!
ConsAs expected with matte products, exfoliating is absolutely essential! When I applied it over lip balm, it balled up like pen ink residue.
TipFor best results, apply a generous amount of Vaseline at the start of your makeup routine. Then, gently wipe it off before applying this lip product. It works like a charm!
