Pros
★The review I'm leaving to remember - It seems to apply smoothly and the exfoliation is not too pronounced. - A representative MLBB color in the warm tone, a color that can be comfortably worn daily.
Cons
- I thought the pink tint wouldn't be too strong, but when I applied it, it seemed to have more of a brick + pink tint than a reddish one... - When used with lip balm, the staining doesn't last as long, so the staying power is reduced.
Tip
If you have some lip exfoliation, use it together with lip balm!

Pros
My friend has a slightly yellowish and bright skin tone, but this lipstick looked amazing on her. She told me it's a color I would love, so I tried it and it was so beautiful that I almost cried. It's not just a regular lipstick - when you apply it lightly on bare skin, it gives a beautiful, natural flush, almost like an MLBB (my lips but better) shade. In the photos, it looks a bit brighter, but in person, it has a more toned-down, subtle color. It's not particularly moisturizing, but it has a lovely, dewy sheen that makes it look very pretty. The scent is also not at all unpleasant.
Cons
The formula is what it is, so the longevity isn't great, but it doesn't transfer excessively either. I'm satisfied with that. While I find this color really pretty and it suits my taste, I'm not sure if it truly complements my skin tone. I have a fair, cool-toned (almost pale) complexion, and the slightly warm undertone of this lipstick makes my skin look even more washed out. If I just dab it on lightly, it can make me look a bit vampiric. My friend with a slightly yellow-toned fair skin seems to pull this off better, and I think it would also look nice on those with a deeper skin tone. From what I've heard, this kind of warm-toned shade may not be the best match for true cool-toned complexions like mine, and I do find it has a noticeable warm feel to it.

Pros
Gradients are incredibly easy to create, and whether applied lightly or heavily, there is no awkwardness in either case.
Cons
When eating or doing other activities, the longevity is severely diminished, and it all ends up wiping off.

Pros
This is truly the best MLBB (My Lips But Better)! Bobbi Brown's Dusty Pink is a great MLBB shade that works well in spring and summer. MAC's Brick-O-La, on the other hand, has more of a reddish-brown tone, making it perfect for fall and winter. I wasn't a big fan of MAC lip products before, but this one is really moisturizing and comfortable to wear.
Cons
The longevity isn't the best, so you'll need to reapply it frequently.

Pros
The color has a nice atmosphere and a bit of vibrancy. It was moisturizing and good as a base. (Since the cases can vary, it may be too pigmented as a base for some people. I apply it once on the lower lip and use the remaining product to apply on the upper lip.) Also, the difference between the first and third application was not significant, which I liked. I recommend this to those who like muted tones. The first swatch on the right is the first application, and the second swatch is the third application.
Cons
Since it's a moisturizing type, it can get a bit mushy. But it's not too severe, so that's something I can overlook. And in terms of longevity, since it's a moisturizing type, the staying power is not very high.

Pros
The MLBB (My Lips But Better) color is a slightly nudey and brick-toned dried rose shade! The pigmentation is excellent, and it applies smoothly and feels very comfortable. I'm so pleased with this purchase that I want to compliment myself for choosing it so well! I've already used it up, so I'll be repurchasing it soon. I'm a shade 23 with a dull, yellowish complexion, so I highly recommend this to anyone with a similar skin tone!
Cons
Everything else is great, but the longevity is a bit disappointing. Since it's slightly creamier than matte, the adhesion isn't as strong, so I tend to 'eat' the lipstick when I'm drinking from a straw or cup, or when I'm eating. If only the longevity was better, this would be absolutely perfect. But the color is so appealing that I'm willing to overlook the longevity issue and continue using it.

Pros
❣Please refer to the photos for the color tone of this product!❣ -It has a more nude, brown tone compared to the photos- I really love muted lipsticks, so I purchased this, and it seems to be a perfect match for the warm tones of autumn. 💥Warm tones💥. In fact, I have a somewhat neutral skin tone, so when I wear this lipstick, my face looks a bit dull, but I've had it for quite a while and it's still in great condition. I recommend testing it out in the store before purchasing. What I liked about this product is that it's a creamy type, so I could apply it without emphasizing any lip flakes. It also 💥moisturizes💥 well. And when applied on the lips, the color doesn't look too intense, making it look very natural. The price is not as evil as Yves Saint Laurent or Tom Ford, haha! Collecting the bullet cases is quite fun...
Cons
While the creamy type allows for application without emphasizing lip flakes, it also means the longevity is not as great. 😢 Of course, it's gone after eating. But it does transfer a bit when drinking coffee or doing other activities.-_- It's not a color that really brightens up the face. It's just a subtle, muted shade.
Tip
Keep an eye out for duty-free opportunities and various discount benefits! Pair it with a natural, understated look!

Pros
I've never been diagnosed, but I think I'm an autumn mute! The color is a bit more grayish than in the photo, a color similar to red bean porridge. However, if you apply it too heavily, it can look a bit old-fashioned. I just do a gradient application. If you apply it thinly, a really beautiful, toned-down, water-soaked rose color comes out. It's so pretty. Since it's a red bean porridge color, I think it can also be well-used by some summer mute types. It also doesn't show flakiness very well, which is good.
Cons
It's probably not very long-lasting, but it's moisturizing, so I don't mind. The color is pretty, and it doesn't show flakiness, so I think those are understandable aspects.
Tip
In my personal opinion, if Brick Ora suits you well, the Iope 407 Carmine Session might also suit you well. That's just my personal opinion. Of course, I use both of them well.

Pros
This is a great product for expressing moist lips in the winter! Personally, I prefer muted and calm colors, and the low saturation makes it comfortable to wear daily without feeling burdened. Moreover, it applies so smoothly and moisturizes well, making it perfect for winter wear.
Cons
The longevity is quite disappointing ㅜㅠㅜ The lipstick is moisturizing and has good color payoff, but the longevity is just too short! And it transfers way too much.. It's as if my actual lips, not the lipstick, are leaving marks on the cup. The transferring is inevitable due to the moisturizing formula, but the lack of longevity and excessive transferring make it hard to justify the price, even though the color is really pretty.

Pros
This MLBB lipstick has a soft, dewy finish. A friend gifted it to me, and I was impressed by the beautiful color - it's the perfect shade for autumn, reminiscent of dried rose petals. The creamy formula applies smoothly without requiring extensive lip prep, and the subtle, buttery scent is pleasant.
Cons
The downside is that the staying power is not the best - the color tends to fade after a few sips of coffee. Apart from that, there's not much else to complain about.
Tip
I recommend using this lipstick without a separate lip balm. Applying a balm on top can make the lips feel a bit too slick and heavy.
