Since it is a deep color, I apply it only to the inner part and layer it, and it applies smoothly and nicely.
Cons

🎡 Honest Review from My Own Pocket 🎡 ️🙇🏻♀️ Before reading the review, please be aware that this is the highly subjective opinion of a non-expert ❗️ As people may have different views, please keep that in mind when reading ❗️🙇🏻♀️ If you're a fan of MLBB (My Lips But Better) colors, you'll definitely love this product. The color is incredibly satisfying. The application is very smooth. It goes on creamy but dries down to a matte finish. For those of you who prefer matte lipsticks but are concerned about emphasizing flaky lips, this product won't be an issue! I personally really enjoy this type of application.
Cons
Having to sharpen it is a bit of a hassle. And each time I sharpen it, I feel like I'm losing a bit of the product, which is a bit frustrating considering the price point of this item.

I received it as a birthday gift, but it has become my life-long lipstick. I don't really like bright colors, so this soothing shade is just perfect for me. My friend tried it on and loved it so much, saying it looks great on everyone. It's a must-have, no words needed.
Cons
No matter how much I think about it, I can't find any shortcomings. It's perfection itself.

This is definitely the most suitable shade among the MLBB (My Lips But Better) options. It would be especially great for fall. The application is also smooth.
Cons
I wouldn't recommend this for those who find sharpening lipsticks to be a hassle. It might also be a bit irritating for those with very dry lips or excessive lip flakes.

Uncommon and beautiful color tones, matte and cleanly applied finish The pencil-type format allows for more delicate application, which I like.
Cons
Since it's a sharpened type, the more you sharpen it, the more of the product gets used up, which is disappointing.

You can create a beautifully toned-down MLB lip look by applying it thinly, and it will have a deep, vibrant color when applied thickly - it's so pretty!
Cons
It's a bit of a hassle having to sharpen it, but the color is so pretty that it's still worth it!

This is the true MLB (My Lip Balm). It's so much better than Dolce Vita. It has such a nice vibe and the color is so muted, it goes well with any outfit. My love... I recommend trying it on first before buying. It matches so well with any lip color you mix it with.
Cons
The color is suitable for late 20s, and the saturation is low, but I really love it. The amount is too little and it's almost like it evaporates. The most inconvenient part is having to carry a sharpener around.

The dark-colored Valkyrie in the MLBB series... It blends more naturally and lightly on the lips than on the back of the hand. I mainly use it for the FW season. In early spring, I apply it lightly, focusing on the inner part of the lips, and blend it out in a gradation. It's a good color to wear in early spring rather than late spring. As a velvet matte lip, it has a natural matte finish on the lips, not a heavy, stiff matte feeling, but a soft, velvety application. Unlike other matte lips with strong pigmentation, this has a natural, subtle finish that applies lightly. Those who find matte lips burdensome can use this comfortably without any aversion. Valkyrie is a deeper color than Dolce Vita, more of a subtle brick shade. When wearing it alone, it's nicer to apply it in a gradation from the inner lips outward, rather than fully covering the entire lips. As it's not an intensely pigmented formula, even the deeper MLBB shade is not overwhelming. And it pairs beautifully with Dolce Vita - you can apply Dolce Vita all over and use Valkyrie to add a touch of color to the inner lips.
Cons
When sharpening, it's sad that the color gets shaved off along with the pencil. 😢
Tip
Valkyrie looks nicer when applied in a gradation from the inner lips, rather than fully covering the entire lips. You can also apply Dolce Vita all over the lips and use Valkyrie just on the inner part for a pretty look. 🤗

It has a nice glide and the color payoff is great. It applies smoothly and evenly. Plus, the longevity is good. If you're looking for a more hydrating, satin-like finish, you may want to avoid this as it is quite matte. Exfoliating your lips is a must~
Cons
The price is a bit on the higher side, and the quantity is relatively small. Most importantly, despite being a lip product, the ingredients are a bit disappointing. That seems to be the case with many foreign products, unfortunately.
Tip
I like to apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly on top. In the winter, the extreme matte finish can feel a bit drying on my lips.

✅Myself: Deepautumnwarm, estimated 24~25, sensitive, neutral (neutral in winter) 💜List of Holy Grails💜 MAC Chili - Fluorescent tube ding~ 3CE 803 - Fluorescent tube ding~ 3CE 114 - Natural nude tone Canmake Stay On Balm Rouge 3 I was actually considering Kinda Sexy as a base, but I'll get it next time when I have the chance. Taupe was too intense in color, so I skipped it. As for Mocha, I really wanted it, so I looked into similar products and ended up getting this one. (Reference: Mocha is lighter than Valkyrie, apparently^^) You 'Valkyrie' my face. It illuminates me, everyone. No, it not only illuminates, but the color is also mature and high-end. It seems to be a yellow-based tone. Somehow, it feels like it can pull off any autumnal warm tone... It applies smoothly and draws well. Let's see how it goes, my Valkyrie face
Cons
Yo man~~you gotta sharpen it, right? It's such a hassle to write like this. The price, what... You gotta pick the color just right, but you picked it too well, haha
Tip
Oooh, the gradient looks pretty too. Apparently, Nars has a lot of shades that suit the autumnal deep tone
