It's like turning on a fluorescent light on your face!! The pigmentation is also good and there's not much transfer.
ConsIt's more matte than I expected ㅠㅠ There's some visible flakiness and if you just swipe it on, the flakiness comes up and it doesn't look nice. Dust tends to cling to the lipstick. The chocolate scent wasn't really my thing.
TipTry patting it on or applying a lip balm first before putting it on!!

Without lip balm, it does become quite matte and the color payoff is not as good, but I usually just apply some lip balm for touch-ups, so it's not a big deal. It's definitely much better than the bullet lipstick. The ingredients are decent, with the color pigment being unavoidable, but there are no major problematic ingredients. The color payoff is great, and the longevity is also good. The staining is not too intense, but the good longevity is something I really like about it. The emphasis on flaky skin is also manageable! It's not too severe normally. The price may seem high, but this lipstick applies very pigmented with just a light swipe, so it lasts a long time. I don't particularly find it expensive. The reason I haven't repurchased yet is just that I haven't finished it yet, but I do plan to repurchase it.
ConsSometimes, the emphasis on flaky skin can be quite severe... (not sure if it's a skin condition issue) And the color can turn pinkish... especially when combined with other lipsticks. In those situations, it's just one problem after another - the edges also don't apply well. I haven't even eaten anything, but the inner part just wears off... Also, this is just my personal opinion, but the scent is a bit unpleasant... It's not a big deal normally, but when my stomach is upset, it can be quite overpowering... It's just that the scent doesn't match my personal preference, but you don't have to worry about it too much! It has a slight chocolatey scent... These drawbacks have prevented it from becoming a holy grail product for me, and I'm kind of on the fence about it.
TipI bought 2 of them for 50,000 won at the duty-free shop! I'm not sure if they still have the deal, but it seems like buying multiple saves you some money. Apply a clear lip balm first, then gently slide it just on the inner part of the lips and pat it in. This will give you a juicy, pigmented look. It's not too burdensome even for a student! If you're looking for a cherry blossom-like spring lip, I'd recommend the Lobster shade! It's a limited edition, so you may not find it at the official stores, but it gives a perfect cherry blossom pink-coral color! (Although I actually bought it hoping for more of an orange-coral...)
