  Pros

  Wow! The color tone is perfect for autumn warm tones-! Before discovering this product, I would use the NARS Dolce Vita as a base and then layer a beige/coral-toned lip from another brand on top. But after finding Valkyrja, I've been just applying this color directly without a base, and it's been great-! The color is a perfectly toned-down beige-brown mix - so beautiful! The texture is also super smooth and glides on effortlessly, and the lasting power seems quite good too-!

  Cons

  There's not a single thing I'm disappointed about - the color, lasting power, and pigmentation are all exactly what I love!

  Pros

  Wow, this is the lip I was looking for! It has a deeper brown tone and a more mellow feel than Dolce Vita, but it's just so nice. It's on the matte side and has decent lasting power!

  Cons

  The Nars sharpener is a bit rough ^ㅠ^ And the black body seems to accumulate a lot of product.

  Tip

  It applies well both as a full-lip color and when blended out for a gradient effect.

  Pros

  It's really beautiful. When you apply this, it gives a completely Western-style makeup feel! It allows you to create a matte lip look without dryness... And the brick color is exactly what I wanted, so I love it~

  Cons

  It's too much of a hassle to sharpen... And it wears down too quickly, which is a shame.

  Pros

  The fall warm tone is one of the lip pencils that you must buy after Dolce Vita! For me, a Korean in the 24-25 tone range, Dolce Vita was almost the same as my lip color, so it didn't make much of a difference. Valkyrie has the perfect mix of red and brown, creating a beautiful brick color, so my trusty MAC Taupe has been neglected for months..haha I didn't have a lipstick in just one color, but Valkyrie looked the best when I wore it alone.

  Cons

  If you rub it too much, it can look a bit cakey. As it's a pencil, when you pop open the cap, the core comes out quickly. So you have to be gentle when opening it..ㅠ The dedicated pencil sharpener is 10,000 won..haha I found that the Innisfree and NYX sharpeners are compatible. I've tried them all, but I ended up just buying the NARS pencil sharpener and using that.

  Tip

  The cakiness I mentioned earlier can be resolved by lightly tapping it on. It then gives a clear, reddish+calm color. It's hard to describe the color, but it's just so Valkyrie. I really recommend getting the fall warm tone with your Chuseok allowance! I got it at the duty-free shop with various discounts, so I bought it for just over 20,000 won. ㅎㅎ
