As someone with very pale lips and extremely severe dead skin cells, lip balm is an absolute must for me. I've found that highly pigmented lipsticks often cause my lips to flake excessively, making them difficult to use. So I was on the hunt for a tinted balm I could use day and night. When I saw an ad highlighting its gentle ingredients, I decided to give it a try. I've probably gone through about 6 of these by now, and I always keep around 3 in various bags for easy access. When applied, the color is definitely noticeable, and it doesn't dry out my lips, which keeps me coming back for more.
Cons1. While the initial color payoff is good, it doesn't seem to stain the lips well. Especially after eating, it tends to disappear completely. However, I'm okay with this since I consider it a lip balm with gentle ingredients, so I don't mind reapplying. 2. Due to the frequent reapplication, it does get used up quickly. 3. I haven't found a shade that I absolutely love. The coral-like shade #1 appears brownish when blotted on a tissue. The pink-based ones also have a somewhat ambiguous color. I wish there was a more ethereal, natural pink-based shade available. Despite these points, I keep using it because I can't find a better alternative. I still recommend it.

Skin prone to blackheads and closed comedones. Experiences frequent heat sensitivity and has numerous pitted scars. Uneven skin texture. Extremely oily but not sensitive (deep cleansing is possible). Makeup and base preference: Warm, lukewarm tones without white cast. Prefers matte formulas, but skin shows flaking easily. Favors thin application and yellow-based products due to redness. Coverage is not a priority (focus on even color correction). Color and Texture: - In my opinion, 80% of a color cosmetic's appeal lies in its shade. As a warm-toned individual, this color complements my bare lips beautifully, earning high marks. The lightweight, adhering formula feels comfortable on the lips. Color Retention: - After a meal, a subtle pink tint remains, maintaining a lively appearance. However, there's a significant difference between the staining color and the initial application color. I'll elaborate on this drawback in the cons section.
ConsDiscrepancy between stain and initial color: - While the initial color is a red-orange, the stain left behind is pink. Although the stain isn't too cool-toned, allowing me as a warm-toned person to still enjoy it, many users might be surprised by the stark difference when the initial color fades. Transfer: - The orange color transfers heavily onto masks. It looks a bit messy, but I suppose that's to be expected from a lip balm. Lip Condition Improvement: - Despite being advertised as a natural product, after consistent use, I found it doesn't significantly improve lip condition. In fact, it can make dry lips even drier, so it's best used on lips that are already in decent condition to function effectively as a tinted lip balm.
TipApply a thick layer of rich lip balm before bed for best results.

I bought it after checking the ingredients since I'm pregnant.
ConsSigh... Athena is just a dull orange color. Theia is a really bright orange, almost brick-like. Among long-lasting gels, Chloris is exactly the same as my natural lip color, barely noticeable like a lip gloss. When you apply a tint, it should bring life to your face, but all these colors just make my complexion look dull. Theia makes my lips look like red bean porridge, haha... The ads seem overly photoshopped. I'm definitely a warm spring tone, so keep in mind that Athena is the closest to an orange mixed with ripe apricot color.

ConsThe color... The advertisement is just an advertisement, after all. I bought it expecting an orange-red color, but even after applying it 5-6 times, the pretty orange-red color from the advertisement never shows up^^ It's just a calm, very light red. The oil film doesn't seem to have been removed much either, and it's the same even when I wipe it off with a tissue every time I use it. The lasting power... It's really about 1 out of 5 stars. I bought it based on the lip balm + color, but the color is not what I wanted, and the lasting power is terrible. I don't think I'll be able to buy this at this price. If you're looking for good ingredients and color, I'd recommend just using Aiso*. Of course, Aiso* products don't last very long either, but they'll be better than Naechyeol Shine.

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 of all, the fact that it's a natural lip balm...! Since it's something I apply to my lips, I think it's good to have good ingredients. And the application is also good - I just apply it whenever I think about it, and before going to bed, and when I wake up in the morning, my lips are still moisturized. Plus, I've noticed that my lip flakiness has disappeared lately! I'm satisfied with just this product alone haha.
ConsFirst of all, the color is definitely not red-orange, it's more of a pink-orange. There's no orange at all, it's closer to a pink. I bought it thinking it would be a red-orange, but I kind of regret it. If you have a warm skin tone, I think it would be better to choose a coral or orange shade.

So this was perfect for me! The color was somewhere between orange and red, but I think it's a classic red shade. (I personally love red shades, so I really liked it.) And with regular application, my flaky skin also decreased! My lips also seem to be regaining their vitality. I'm very satisfied with this product! As shown in the photo, I purchased one and used it up!
ConsThe most disappointing part was that over time, the color would create a distinct line on the inner part of my lips... The color would also sometimes shift to a fuchsia pink, and sometimes not. Other than that, there's nothing else I was particularly disappointed with.
TipFor those who prefer moisturizing lip balms, you can apply this product and then layer another lip balm on top of it.

ConsOne way or another, the scent... haha it's like clay... or rubber... that kind of scent But after applying it a few times you get used to it and it's not that strong or long-lasting I'm using it well and liking it And the color, originally my lips have a strong pink tone, so if you want an orange color payoff, go for it boldly... they say Athena No. 1 is a red-orange, but on me with my very pink lips, it just comes out as a pink-red...haha
TipI highly recommend this for those who want to avoid heavy lipsticks or staining tints, and just want a little boost of vitality to their bare lips!

Ingredients The ingredients are good, as advertised and confirmed. 2. Color I bought all 4 colors and am sharing them with my mom. I'm using the Hera and Athena shades. The color payoff was nice and clear. 3. Texture It's not sticky at all and has a slightly adhesive, balm-like, and bouncy tint texture. - I'll write about the remaining disappointments.
Cons1. Ingredients Other than the claim of good ingredients, there's no real merit. I'm not the kind of person who specifically looks for toxin-free color cosmetics, but I got curious about the claim of reviving skin tone and ended up buying it. 2. Color The color payoff is clear and not overbearing, but it's not as vibrant as the product page. And the Athena shade looked like a bright red, but when I applied it, it was more of an orange-tinted red. If the color didn't suit me, I would have been quite upset. 3. Texture They said it applies bouncy, but it's not as moisturizing. Reapplying it frequently makes it get used up really fast...I'm considering looking for another tinted lip balm. 4. Volume The amount is too little. The price is too high for the volume. Since it's not moisturizing, I have to reapply it often, so it gets used up really quickly. If I hadn't bought it on sale, I would have been even more upset.
TipWhen I bought it, there was a handmade lip balm and lip conditioner that came as samples, and the sample lip balm was better.

(It does transfer a bit though)
ConsThe pink base... The photo was taken under yellow lighting, so it came out more of a red-pink? But basically, it's too pink ㅠㅠ Since my natural lip color has a slightly purplish-pink tone... the color doesn't look that pretty on me, boo hoo
TipIt looks nice when you apply it lightly on bare lips, but when you have heavy makeup on, the lips can look a bit lifeless

That's why I could apply it without any hesitation, whether I was eating or at any other time.
ConsThe point that it turns burgundy if you apply it a little too much? The orange-red color gradually lost its orange hue.😂
