Plus, if you apply the gloss stick and wait a few minutes before blotting with a tissue, it looks just like your natural lip color! I went to school using this method and passed right through the gates. It didn't smudge at all while eating!
ConsIt's a bit on the pricey side, and unfortunately, the amount you get is quite small. The color payoff is also weak, so you need to apply multiple layers, which quickly uses up the product. When swatched on the hand, it's clearly coral, but on the lips, it turns into a pink with just a hint of coral.
TipIf you apply the gloss stick to your lips, blot it with a tissue until it doesn't transfer, and then apply lip balm, you'll get moisturized lips without any transfer.

The best thing about this product is how incredibly moisturizing it feels! While I used to reach for velvety lip products on cold days, in this spring weather, I find myself craving glossy, hydrating lip products. This feels perfect for the milder weather we're experiencing now. I think it would provide excellent hydration even in winter.
ConsThe disappointing aspect was that despite being named 'Red Spinel', the color appears more pink. It's not a red shade at all, but rather in the pink family. However, as someone with a warm-toned, yellow undertone complexion (likely a Spring Bright), I found it quite flattering! Although it's pink, the color is ambiguous enough that it seems suitable for both warm and cool skin tones, making it versatile for many people.
TipThe clean-looking color and pigmentation made my complexion appear brighter. Especially when applied over just sunscreen with minimal skin prep, it gives off a natural, fresh-faced look that exudes innocence - as if you're not wearing makeup, but still looking your best.

After using it for a week, I found it to be an excellent product for a quick, natural look when going out. It applies smoothly even over dead skin cells, and it's perfect when your lips are dry! I didn't experience any itching or blisters on my lips. It applies like a tinted lip balm - moisturizing without being sticky. Surprisingly, it has some color payoff! However, due to its hydrating formula, the staying power is a bit lacking. I needed to reapply after having a cup of coffee. The scent is a subtle floral fragrance, making it feel like applying skincare. Despite its 'Red Spinel' name, it appears more pink on the lips. On the wrist, it shows as a pinkish coral-red, turning more coral-pink with multiple swipes. The packaging looks luxurious, almost oversized compared to the actual product amount. It's quite long, so it didn't fit entirely in my palm - I kept it in my makeup pouch instead.
ConsThere are too many potential allergens for those with sensitive lips. I was expecting a true red, but it's closer to a coral-pink, which is disappointing. Personally, I dislike even the slightest shimmer in lip products, so that was a downside for me. It's also a bit pricey to use as a tinted lip balm. Considering the value for money, it leaves something to be desired!

My lips tend to chap easily, so I was looking for something moisturizing. When I first applied it, it felt incredibly hydrating, and I was pleased with the decent color payoff as well.
ConsHowever, on my lips, it tends to migrate towards the edges over time, sometimes making it look like I've only lined my lips. Also, while the color on the website appeared to have an orange tint, when I actually applied it, it had more of a pink undertone. This didn't suit me well as I have a slightly yellowish and darker complexion. I think it would look really beautiful on someone with fair skin! Since my mom has a lighter complexion, I ended up giving it to her.
TipInstead of applying it like a regular lipstick by rubbing, try gently patting it on. This makes your lips look plumper and more vibrant! I've also tried applying a bit on my cheeks like a blush, and it blended in nicely without looking out of place.

First off, I was a bit worried about the Red Spinel shade being too intense, but I was pleasantly surprised by how natural it looked! It brightened my bare lips with a dewy red tint, which I absolutely loved. It gave my lips a glass-like shine and plumpness! The sweet scent was really delightful, and I was impressed by how the color stayed put even after some time. It even lasted through my workout! As someone who prefers natural makeup, I often worry about lip tints becoming too dark when reapplied. However, this product didn't give me that concern at all!
ConsWhile the stain left a pretty color, it settled into my lip lines, possibly due to my dry lips or the lip balm I applied beforehand, which was a bit disappointing. Also, personally, lipsticks with pink undertones tend to clash with my complexion, making it look a bit dated. That's a minor drawback for me. However, the color itself is a lovely, vibrant pink-red that would look beautiful in any season!
TipSince it's a moisturizing lipstick with good color payoff, I'd recommend gently patting it on when reapplying for the best results!

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, the case is absolutely gorgeous! It's so pretty that I'd want to buy it just for the packaging. The texture feels similar to a tinted lip balm like Nivea, but the color payoff is much better! It has surprisingly good staying power too. Overall, it seems like a great product to carry around for easy touch-ups on the go.
ConsI was surprised by the number of potentially irritating ingredients, though it wasn't an issue for me as I don't have super sensitive skin. Personally, I'm not a fan of the scent... it smells a bit artificial. Also, the color is more pink than red, so you definitely need to layer it over a base color. Lastly, it's quite pricey for what it is.
TipI think it looks even prettier when applied over a lip tint!

You might not see it clearly in the photo, but the lipstick case design is absolutely gorgeous, and the top of the lipstick has a diamond-like pattern. It's so beautiful! What's more, when I first saw it, it had a jewel-like shine, so I wondered how moisturizing it would be. But the moment I applied it to my lips, I was surprised at how smoothly and hydratingly it went on! Given how moisturizing it is, I thought it wouldn't have much staying power or leave a tint, but for its formula, it lasted quite well and left a nice stain. I think it would be perfect for daily use. I'm not a fan of dry or matte lipsticks, so I really loved this one!
ConsThe slightly disappointing aspect is the color and pigmentation. Of course, we shouldn't entirely trust advertising images, but the image showed a strong orange-toned red, and it's even called Red Spinel. However, even with my natural lip color, it came out as a slightly orange-tinted pink. Even with multiple layers, the color doesn't intensify much, so I hope many people will test the color before purchasing. Below is a comparison shot with Peripera's Airy Velvet and Red Spinel. While Airy Velvet is known for its strong pigmentation, I wanted to show a proper color comparison.
TipI haven't used this product extensively yet, but since I tend to apply lipstick quickly for everyday use, considering how moisturizing and easy to apply it is, I think it might work well as a base before applying other matte lipsticks.

What's amazing is that despite the material, it doesn't pick up fingerprints, so it stays clean and pristine. It's truly top-notch! When you open it, the lipstick is beautifully cut like a diamond, though that disappears after the first use (can't be helped, but it's a bit of a shame). The color payoff isn't super intense when applied, but that might be because my natural lip color is quite deep. I found I needed to layer it a few times to get the color to really show up. However, the glow it gives is fantastic - it's almost like wearing a lip gloss, with a beautiful shine. If you love a natural, shimmery lip look, this is for you. It's marketed as a lipstick with tint-like staining properties, which might explain its impressive staying power. I was surprised to find that even after eating, both the color and the glow were still going strong!
ConsThe color swatches on the website showed an orange-red, but on my lips it comes out as a very cool pink. When I first applied it, I thought they'd sent me the wrong shade! That said, I tend to use a light base that works with most tones, so it doesn't look out of place even though I'm warm-toned. There's a strong peach iced tea scent when you apply it. While the sweet fragrance isn't unpleasant, those sensitive to scents should be cautious.
TipI've included a photo to show off the glow. I usually avoid hand swatches because they never capture the cool pink accurately and tend to look more red (which is frustrating). I was going to skip it altogether, but this one seems to be somewhat close. Just know that in reality, it's an even hotter pink than what you see here.

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, the case is absolutely gorgeous. It's the most sparkly among all the lipsticks I own. My lips tend to be dry and prone to dead skin cells, but this beauty doesn't particularly emphasize flakiness and has a moisturizing formula, which I love. While I usually have to apply lip balm before most tints or lipsticks, this one can be applied directly without any issues. It feels almost like applying a tint balm. The color on my lips is a vibrant pink+red. As for the staining effect, it's pink, just like other reviewers mentioned. If you have fair skin, this will look absolutely stunning on you. Overall, it's a very satisfying product.
ConsDue to its moisturizing formula, the staying power isn't particularly impressive. Also, as mentioned above, it's a vibrant pink-red, so it might be a bit overwhelming for those with darker complexions. Just like me... It's a color that's a bit too bold for a bare face. The amount of product doesn't seem to be very generous. For someone like me who applies frequently, it might only last a few months. Oh, I was surprised by the number of precautions. For reference, I didn't experience any discomfort on my lips. I guess sensitivity to certain ingredients really varies from person to person.
TipIf you neutralize your natural lip color first, you'll get an even prettier shade.
