It has great staying power, and above all, the color is beautiful and fresh!
ConsLike most lip lacquers, after some time it leaves a slightly messy lip line. It also tends to bunch up on the inner part of the lips.

When applied in summer, it gives you such a dewy glow that you'll outshine everyone around you.
ConsDespite being called a 'lacquer', it transfers like crazy, which is so unexpected. If you use a cup after applying this, it leaves a perfect lip print... like a stamp. Also, it's challenging to create a gradient effect, and controlling the amount is tricky.

I'm back again with another review. This time, it's all about the Matte Chic Lip Lacquer! Remember when it was all the rage, thanks to those Red Velvet ads? I've got the shade #RefreshingGrapefruit, though I think they might have changed the name? Oh well, let's stick with Refreshing Grapefruit! So, I initially received this as a gift. My first impression? Absolutely striking! As a devoted red lip lover, I thought, 'This could be amazing!' When you apply it, it feels moisturizing, but after 30 seconds - boom! It transforms into a perfect matte finish!
ConsHmm, one issue I noticed is that it creates a very distinct lip line. You might not notice it right away, but about 10 minutes after application, the border becomes quite... wow. I thought maybe I applied it wrong, so I tried using a cotton swab and even my fingers, but still... Is it just me? My lips weren't even dry or flaky to begin with...

They just changed the shade name from 'Refreshing Joy Grapefruit' to 'Refreshing Zesty Grapefruit'! It applies smoothly and finishes with a soft, matte texture that sets quickly. The color is a true red grapefruit shade with minimal orange undertones. Personally, I love that it doesn't have that overly pink tint that's common in this color family. The staining power and longevity are impressive. It's a vibrant grapefruit hue that's perfect for summer, and I'll likely be using it as my daily tint.
ConsAs time passes, a line forms on the inner part of the lips, and despite being a matte lip product, it feels somewhat drying, which is a bit disappointing.

When applied to the lips, there's a hint of coral that makes your skin look like it's glowing from within. True to its name, it has a refreshing color that I really love! No pink staining, and the staying power is top-notch.
ConsThe downside is that if you accidentally apply too much, it can become overly intense. It seems to deepen in color over time, more than when first applied to the lips. The border with the inner part of the lips can fade, and depending on your lip condition, it might pill a bit, which is disappointing.

It's a refreshing shade, reminiscent of grapefruit. Plus, it has great staying power.
ConsSince it's matte, it might not apply evenly if your lips are dry.

It doesn't come off easily, which I love. It's totally my type. I've already used up one and I'm planning to buy another. It's absolutely fantastic!
ConsThe downside is that if you make a mistake while applying, it's really hard to remove. That's the only disappointing part.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, I got the 'Refreshing Joy Grapefruit' shade! I usually have way too many lip products, so I debated for about a month whether to buy this or not. I went to test the colors multiple times and finally got this precious gem after much deliberation. Initially, I was leaning towards 'Wise Burgundy' or 'Sharp Pink', but seeing it on screen versus testing it in person was quite different. So I ended up choosing 'Refreshing Joy Grapefruit' as it suited my complexion best. I've always felt this way, but Etude really nails their color cosmetics. I wanted to buy them all, but I already have a ton of unused products at home, so I had to resist the temptation. The absorbs is fantastic! Just one swipe and it applies smoothly. However, since it's labeled as matte, it really is quite matte... It's essential to exfoliate your lips before applying this! Personally, I like wearing it alone, but I love layering it even more.
ConsIt's very matte, so make sure to exfoliate and apply plenty of lip balm before using it!
TipThese days, since it's winter, I often layer it with slightly nude shades!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsWhat I loved about this matte chic lip lacquer is that unlike other regular lacquer products, it doesn't stain but rather fixes in place. This was perfect for me as I absolutely hate when lip products leave stains! The color is a vibrant red grapefruit shade that truly lives up to its name, reminiscent of Joy's refreshing energy!
ConsThe downside is that since it's a fixing product rather than a staining one, when it starts to wear off, it can peel from the lips in an unattractive way. Apart from this, I think it's a really great lip lacquer!
TipBefore applying this refreshing Joy Grapefruit color, I like to use the same line's sharp pink as a base, then apply this color to the center of my lips. When done this way, the color combination transforms from a pink hue to a mysterious shade with grapefruit undertones - it's absolutely stunning! While it's great on its own, I think it works wonderfully when combined with other colors like I do!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsBefore we begin, here's a quick note! I have a neutral skin tone, but I pull off reds the best! My complexion is on the brighter side. The grapefruit shade 'Refreshing Joy' in the first photo appears more vibrant than in real life! (Please excuse any mistakes, as this is my first review!) The lip product I'm reviewing is the Matte Chic Lip Lacquer in 'Refreshing Joy'. What I absolutely loved about it is that it doesn't transfer onto cups when drinking water - that's seriously amazing! If you're into matte textures, I highly recommend this! Another great feature is that the applicator is perfectly shaped to fit the lips. The staying power is incredible, and the color payoff is fantastic!
ConsOn the downside, while the packaging has an opaque cap and a semi-transparent bottom, it can crack slightly if dropped. The cap also develops some white marks, as shown in the second photo (think of it as the color peeling off). I wouldn't recommend wearing this to school. Also, it's a bit tricky to create a gradient effect with this - you need to blend quickly with your fingers right after application. (Keep in mind that blending with fingers will leave color on your hands.) Lastly, if you apply too much, it's quite difficult to remove.
TipFor those who want a lighter application, try to control the amount carefully and apply with the tip of the applicator for a sheerer look!
