ProsI bought this product after asking the store staff at Benefit about their incredibly supple and beautiful lips. It has a truly delightful, candy-like juicy quality that can make you look 4-5 years younger than your actual age. (This is meant as a compliment to the beautiful color.)
While it is a hot pink, it doesn't seem to be an overly cool-toned pink that would make me look washed out, even though I have a warm skin tone.
I heard there is a Benefit tint that pairs well with this, and when I wore the Gogo Tint underneath and this on top, I was able to achieve the perfect pink shade and luminosity I was looking for.
And even though it's a lip gloss, it doesn't feel sticky at all. Instead, it has a lovely, moisturizing, and silky smooth feel.
Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this product. And the price is quite reasonable too.
ConsThe quantity isn't particularly generous. It's just enough to last through the fall and winter seasons. And the packaging, while cute, looks a bit like the kind of cosmetics sold at the stationery store for kids.
If you remove the Benefit branding, it could easily pass for a 3,000-4,000 won product.
This may be a matter of personal preference, but I was surprised to find that it is actually unscented.
Given the sweet, candy-like appearance of the packaging and color, I had expected a strong, sugary fragrance, but there is absolutely no scent at all. As someone who enjoys fragrance, this was a bit of a letdown for me.
And the ingredient list, oh dear, it's quite concerning...
TipThe ingredients are quite questionable, so I would recommend those with sensitive lips to steer clear. Luckily, it didn't cause any issues for me, unlike the Peripera product which ended up irritating my lips.
