It's my usual pine tree vibe! It seems perfect for cool or mute tones. It's an honest deep pink with a hint of purple, like a rich red bean soup color. The staying power is great. It absorbs instantly, which might feel a bit intense at first, but you get used to it as you keep applying.
ConsYou need a technique when applying. If you try to spread too much at once, it can clump and absorb unevenly, leaving some areas thicker. I had to remove and reapply when I lacked the technique. It can pill like dead skin cells too. If you have a lot of flaky skin, it can look very dry once it sets. It's best to exfoliate before application. Sometimes the inner part would come off when I applied lip gloss on top.
TipApply it in a long stroke on the inside of your lower lip, then press your lips together twice. It spreads evenly and dries quickly. You can also use a cotton swab to spread it out.

The online reviews mention that the color can vary quite a bit, and it's difficult to choose the same color as the actual swatch when taking photos. The color is a slightly deeper and slightly muted sweet potato peel shade. You can adjust the application to make it more or less intense. The color is what I was hoping for and matches my expectations. It's a creamy, vibrant formula, similar in texture to the Mamonde Highlight Tint. I would give the color full marks. It's a subdued MLBB shade that works well for daily wear, but can also create a more feminine look when applied more heavily. The feel is decent. It starts off a bit watery but spreads easily. It quickly dries down to a matte finish. There's a slight minty/cooling sensation, but it's not irritating. It dries down and has a slightly tacky feel for a while, but the tackiness disappears after several minutes, leaving a full matte finish. There's no heavy, makeup-like feeling on the lips. Additional note: The tackiness was due to the lip balm, not the tint itself. Without any lip balm, there's no tackiness. It may not apply well when the lips are in poor condition. Applying a lip balm on top makes it transfer, but applying it before the tint results in tackiness that needs to be addressed. The longevity is good. The color payoff is decent, and the matte formula makes it long-lasting. There's minor transfer, but it seems to minimize transfer over time. The cream-based formula leaves behind the stained color without the transferred parts. It appears to have better longevity than the Mamonde Highlight Tint.
ConsIt applies lightly, but there can be some slight patchiness that needs to be smoothed out with careful application. While it does stain the lips, the final color is slightly different from the initial application. The feeling of it being fully adhered to the lips is a bit less pronounced. The actual experience may vary from person to person. Liquid lipsticks tend to be similar, but I chose this It's Skin one because the ingredients are not too bad. The finish is comparable to the 3CE Liquid Lipstick Matte, but the adhesion is a bit weaker. However, the ingredients are much better than 3CE and even Revlon, so I still use this one. For those who are used to MAC or 3CE, you may immediately notice the difference in adhesion and formula. While I appreciate the better ingredients in the It's Skin one, the MAC or 3CE liquid lipsticks deserve a vote for their superior adhesion and texture. It applies with a lighter feel compared to the MAC liquid lipstick.
TipYou need to spread it quickly. I think using a brush to apply it would work better for me to avoid any patchiness, rather than applying it directly with the applicator. It's a vibrant color, somewhere between a lipstick and a tint, so careful application and control of the amount is key to getting a nice, even look. The photo seems to have a slightly yellow lighting, so the actual color is a bit more muted and reddish compared to the photo.
