Pink Valley Review✨✨
I've been obsessed with glossy pink shades lately, so I bought this product after searching for a while. It was already famous, so I figured it would at least meet expectations.
Creates plump, roe-like lips with a pink water-tint effect
Color: As someone who's worn nothing but orange, red-orange, coral, beige-orange, and orange MLBBs my whole life, this pink shade didn't look out of place or floating on my lips. It's not an intense pink, which helps, but the color would suit spring light or summer cool tones beautifully. Honestly, I might just use this exclusively instead of orange from now on.
Glow: It's truly gorgeous. I actually wanted to buy YSL, but I tried this first due to the price. The scent is similar to YSL - a mix of cosmetic and soap fragrances. As you can see in the swatch photo below, it creates beautifully plump lips.
Staying power: It's okay, but not great. It lasts long on hand swatches, but on the lips, it tends to wear off quickly in the inner part after eating and talking, leaving a messy look.
I highly recommend applying this over lip balm rather than alone. I mentioned the inner lip wear-off issue in the cons, but using it with lip balm eliminates that problem. I use a slightly pink-tinted lip balm, so my routine is: lip balm → tint → touch up with lip balm. I only apply the tint once initially, then mostly use lip balm for touch-ups. The color still remains nicely. The attached photos are unedited, taken with the default camera and only cropped.
If you're warm-toned but want to wear pink, or if you're going for a natural, bare-faced makeup look with a water-tint lip, definitely buy this!
