A slightly delayed review from The Hwahae Testers..! (Sorry Hwahae!) ※It was good. It is good. It will continue to be good. 1. I am the queen of dead skin cells. Even if I exfoliate the night before, by the afternoon after applying lip makeup, white eraser dust appears. 2. I have fragile lip skin that blisters at the slightest fatigue. However, after switching to Laneige Stained Glasstick for my lip makeup, I quickly realized that using tints that didn't match my lip type was causing havoc. (Indeed, lips are skin too... why did I neglect lip care while meticulously attending to skincare basics?) 1. First off, this beauty is a sight to behold. The radiance of both the packaging and the product is truly luxurious and vibrant. Opening the cap, which reminds one of a magical wand, reveals a color between scarlet and vermilion. If you haven't used it yet, you'll find yourself applauding the Laneige development team for the amethyst-like, multi-faceted shape of the product. 2. The texture is incredibly smooth. It's more velvety than your average lip balm, laying down existing dead skin cells like grass and making minor flakes insignificant. 3. The staying power is decent (with multiple applications). After applying about 5 layers and eating something, about 70% of the color remained. Of course, I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. 4. The fragrance is close to that of fresh roses. Sniff, sniff. Now, two weeks into using it, not only have I had no blemishes, but my dead skin cells have noticeably decreased. However, I don't have anyone to kiss

I have a cool-toned complexion that's lighter than my face covered with 13 shade foundation. I was surprised at the initial color payoff. Why does this color turn into that? Unlike the reddish swatches on Laneige's official website, it appeared more purple on me. Rather than Red Spinel, it's more like Azalea Spinel. My poor phone camera is the biggest disappointment. No matter how I try to capture it, it's difficult to show its true color. I'm hesitant to include swatches as it might confuse potential buyers. No, I'll include the most neutral one.

Even on days when my lips are chapped or cracked, it covers roughness so well that I don't need a separate lip balm. While its excellent hydration might make you neglect applying lip protectants, I'm sure you savvy readers will diligently take care of your lip health? That's actually the best tip! +) I bow deeply in gratitude to the Hwahae editors who selected me for The Hwahae Testers and to the Laneige team members who developed this great product.
