When I bought it, the color was great! It was exactly the shade I wanted. I tend to get chapped lips, but applying it frequently prevented that. Alternating between the two colors was also quite nice. As time passed, I'm not sure if the colors mixed or if there was another issue, but while the colored side remained decent, the clear side turned completely orange. Now even when I apply the clear side, my lips turn orange! Also, after the colors mixed, I didn't use it for a while. When I took it out again, it had melted a bit. The shape, which was initially nicely defined and sharp, became uneven and started to crumble over time. Honestly, I feel like I wasted my money on this. Compared to other products, I rarely reach for it. Be careful not to mix the colors or stain them differently when applying! Also, keep it in a cool place to prevent melting in summer! Think twice before buying this... You might be better off purchasing something else. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinOct 12, 2017
I was immediately smitten when I swatched it on my wrist at first. It's a heavenly orange that I simply can't live without - I knew I had to buy it the moment I saw that color. And the application is great too. Oh, and the ingredients are good as well. It's just that. Honestly, I don't think there's a compelling reason to specifically buy this from Etude House at this price point. I bought it, but I keep regretting it and feeling like I wasted my money whenever I wear it bare-faced. There are so many other lip products out there... The lip balm part also disappointed me. I initially thought the tinting function was great, but over time it just develops this tacky fuchsia color that looks so outdated. I bought it thinking I could just slap it on haphazardly when going bare-faced, and the tint part looked so pretty, but the lip balm color is the absolute worst. And the tint color also ends up turning into this garish hot pink over time, making my whole look so tacky. At first I didn't know any better and slathered on the lip balm part, then started using the orange part, but that threw off the balance and made it all clump up. And it melts so easily... that's probably my fault for keeping it in my pocket for a bit in the summer. Anyway, as someone with lips that just die when there's any pink in them, the lip balm part was a total disaster for me. Don't trust the swatch on the brand's website. If you do get this, just use the tint part. But if you're going to do that, you might as well just get a better tint at that price point. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinAug 22, 2016
The gradation was easy to apply, which I really liked! The lip balm part was moisturizing and smooth, less matte than other lip pencils. (This is just when applying, though) It takes some time to get the full color payoff, but once it's applied, the lasting power is quite good. Even after cleansing, the color remains. I always feel like Etude House tricks me with the color swatch... The in-store swatch and the color shown on the packaging are completely different from the actual color. I bought it thinking it was a light coral + orange coral, but the transparent lip balm part is actually a light pink from the start. There are products like the Magic Tint Balm where the transparent part turns pink when applied, and this is exactly like that. The tint part does show up as a coral when first applied, but over time it changes to a deep pink shade. I was so shocked when I looked in the mirror later in the day - I don't even remember wearing this color! Moreover, the tint part is not moisturizing at all and feels like I'm applying lip stain, and it gets incredibly dry over time. The texture is also different from the lip balm part, so it wipes off easily. Reapplying just causes flakiness. At least the pink isn't too bright, so I'm still using it, but products like the Kissfull Tint Squeeze Tangerine and some of Etude's coral/orange tints always end up turning pink when they stain... +) 01.01.17 I've included a photo to give you a better idea of the texture. The top part is the glossy lip balm (closer to a hot pink), and the bottom part is the matte, lip stain-like coral tint (which turns pink over time). Don't trust the store lighting... or even the swatch on the back of your hand or the color on the packaging... The only thing you can trust is your own lips...
