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 were no downsides at all, so I repurchased it
It's a pity that it's not on Hwahae

The product is moisturizing and has good color payoff
It also has good lasting power and is easy to carry around

If I had to nitpick, it's great for light application in the summer, but the moisturizing effect may be a bit lacking in the winter.

The color payoff is good and the longevity is great. I prefer the subtle, lingering effect over a bold, bright red.

It clings to the flaky skin and has a fluorescent pink color. Also, the formula is too soft - it would be better if it was more firm.

I just opened the gift and was surprised by how bright red the color was.
But when I applied it, it had a subtle pink hue.
I don't like wearing heavy makeup, but this was easy to apply just the right amount.

The staying power is lacking, so I have to reapply it frequently ㅠㅠ

This is a product I always use. It applies smoothly, has good color payoff, and is moisturizing~~

The pink, round case design is not my style.
It's not true that there are no downsides.
Let's be City Holics.
It's the best.

No stickiness
Beautiful color payoff
Applies smoothly and softly
As a lip product enthusiast, I've tried many different ones, but there have only been two instances where the affordable options were the answer.
This is one of them...
It's truly the best. This is a must-buy product during the Olive Young sales ㅠㅠㅠ
No need to overthink it, just add it to your cart.
Just roll it on your lips a couple times like applying a lip balm, and you're done...
It's the best....

After muting your lip color with powder or foundation, applying this lip gloss will give you a truly beautiful color payoff~~~

Nothing in particular. Haha, if this lip gloss had a refreshing scent to match its image, it would have been even better.^-^

First of all, the design is so adorable and lovely, which is a great feature! Haha, it may look petite, but it performs its lip gloss role properly (with substantial moisturizing power..) and the color payoff is quite decent as well.
The price is also reasonable.. I had previously used the Napoli Pink and repurchased the Chicago Berry, so I had confidence in it and felt it was quite appealing.♡
I'm planning to purchase the color that suits my dear acquaintance as well~! Those who love color lip glosses should consider buying it once!♡♡

Since these are tinted lip balms, just slicking them on bare lips can address both dryness and lack of vibrancy:) The only downside is that they are so soft, you have to be a bit careful when applying - they might break off with too much pressure?

🌸Texture
A typical lip balm texture with a subtle oily sheen
No stickiness

🌼Spreadability
It melts with heat and applies very smoothly. It was almost too soft. (💚)

🌸Fragrance
Subtle orange..?citrus peel aroma🍊
I really love this fruity scent.. (ღ•͈ᴗ•͈ღ)♥

🌼Color Payoff
As a lip balm, the colors are more subtle than bold. So the 3 shades don't have a stark difference, but you can definitely see the difference when applied on the lips. (◔_◔)
And I thought there would be no staining, but a subtle reddish tint does get left behind on the lips. So the lip swatch looks a bit more pigmented than the hand swatch.ヾ(>ω<○)

03 Chicago Berry
02 Madrid Coral with a drop of red was the color. A clear pink coral with a touch of red! So this was the most vibrant and lively of the three.
This shade is good for wearing as a natural-looking lip without any particular tone distinction.
If I had to choose just one, I'd go for Chicago Berry💜

The color is a bit deeper than I anticipated, so it doesn't work as well for a natural, bare-faced look.

Well, I originally used the 02 Madrid Coral.
Since I was so satisfied with that, I waited and bought the Chicago Berry as well.
But it's not quite what I expected.
The pros are:
1. It has a nice glossy, shimmery look.
2. The pigmentation is quite good, so even if it wears off a bit, it's still better than expected.

There does seem to be a bit less product than I expected...
I'd like to try out the other colors as well!! Hehe hehe hehe

Wow, the case is so incredibly pretty...♡♡♡ 
It's a design that women can't help but love.
I thought it would just be a lightly colored, moisturizing lip balm, but it turned out to be much better than expected - the texture is great, the color payoff is good, and the color is beautiful, so I fell head over heels for it at first sight.
From now on, this will be my go-to lip balm!
The color in the photo looks lighter, but it applies more pigmented than it appears.
With this, I don't have to worry about my lips even if I'm a total homebody with my boyfriend.

If you apply a tint or lipstick and finish with this lip balm, it's less drying and works well. 👄

The color is a bit ambiguous. Rather than a pretty red, it's a bit of a warm-toned mismatch for my complexion, I'd say. 🤔🤔

It's incredibly moisturizing and has excellent longevity. The case is so beautifully iridescent. 💖✨
