It looks gorgeous when you apply lip gloss over it.

Nothing bad to say, but I'm not sure if it's a lip balm or a lipstick, haha!

Oh my, the color is so pretty and the design is beautiful too! It's the perfect size to carry in your makeup pouch. I highly recommend it for a natural lip look.

시티 홀릭 립 글로우 [03 시카고베리]

There's absolutely nothing to dislike about it, which is why I repurchased. It's a shame it's not available on Hwahae.

Moisturizing with excellent color payoff. Decent staying power and easy to carry around.

If I had to nitpick, while it's perfect for a light application in summer, it might not provide quite enough hydration for winter use.

The color payoff is excellent and it has great staying power. I love how it leaves a subtle red tint rather than an intense bright red.

It clings to dead skin cells with a fluorescent pink color. Also, the texture is quite soft. It would be better if it were firmer.

When I first opened the gift, I was startled by the intense red color. However, upon application, it turned out to be a subtle pink hue. As someone who dislikes heavy makeup, I found it perfect for effortless application.

The staying power isn't great, so I need to reapply frequently.

This is a product I always use. It applies smoothly, has great color payoff, and keeps my lips moisturized.

The pink, round case design isn't to my taste. That's my way of saying there are no drawbacks. Let's be city holic fans. It's fantastic.

No stickiness, beautiful color payoff, and applies smoothly. As a beauty junkie, I've tried many products, but only twice have I found that the affordable option was the answer. This is one of those times... It's truly the best. It's a must-buy during Olive Young sales. Don't hesitate, just add it to your cart. Apply it like lip balm, circling it on your lips two or three times, and you're done... It's absolutely amazing....

For a truly beautiful color payoff, try applying this lip glow after neutralizing your natural lip color with powder or foundation.

Nothing particularly negative to mention. Though, it would have been even better if it had a fresh scent to match the lip glow's image...

First off, the design is absolutely adorable and lovely - that's a major plus! While it may look small, it truly delivers as a lip glow (the hydration is impressive...). The color payoff is pretty decent too, nothing to complain about there. The price point seems reasonable as well. I've previously tried the Napoli Pink shade and repurchased in Chicago Berry, so I had faith in the product and found it quite appealing. I'm planning to buy one in a suitable shade for a dear friend too! If you're a fan of color lip glows, I highly recommend giving this a try!

I was satisfied with this tinted lip balm because it addresses both lip dryness and adds a touch of vitality when applied to bare lips. However, if there's one downside, it's that it's so soft that you need to be a bit careful when applying. If you press too hard, it feels like it might break off...

Texture:
A typical lip balm texture with a subtle oil-like sheen.
No stickiness at all.

Application:
It melts with body heat and glides on incredibly smoothly. It's so soft, it almost feels like it might be too soft!

Scent:
A delicate orange... or perhaps tangerine peel scent?
I absolutely adore these kinds of fruit scents...

Color:
As expected from a lip balm, the colors are all subtle rather than bold. While the three shades don't have dramatically different appearances, you can definitely notice the distinctions when applied to the lips.
I thought there wouldn't be any staining, but it leaves a very faint reddish tint on the lips, almost like a natural flush. So when applied to the lips, it appears a bit more intense than swatched on the hand.

03 Chicago Berry:
It's like Madrid Coral (02) with a drop of red added. A clear pink-coral with just a hint of red! Perhaps that's why it was the most vibrant and lively color among the three.
This shade works well as a natural lip color for various skin tones.
If I had to choose just one color, I'd go for Chicago Berry!

The color is darker than I expected, so it doesn't work well for a bare-faced look!

I originally used 02 Madrid Coral first. I was so satisfied with it that I waited to buy Chicago Berry as well. While it's not quite what I expected... The advantages are: 1. It's glossy and shimmery. 2. It stains quite well, so even if it fades, it still looks better than nothing.

The product quantity feels a bit less than expected. I'd love to try other colors too!

Oh my goodness, the case is absolutely gorgeous! It's a design that women can't help but fall in love with. I initially thought it would just be a tinted moisturizing lip balm, but I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing it feels and how well it applies. The color payoff is fantastic, and the shades are beautiful - I was smitten at first sight! This is definitely my new go-to lip balm. The color appears lighter in photos, but it actually shows up more vibrantly on the lips! Honestly, even if I'm just lounging at home with my boyfriend, I don't have to worry about my lips with this little gem.
