I was itching to buy it right away, but the price gave me pause. After some deliberation, I finally took the plunge during the Lunar New Year sale! 💗 What's the formula like? At first application, I was utterly disappointed... 🥲 When I bought it, it looked like a vibrant cherry pink. I chose a bright color for spring, but on my lips, it was a delicate, clear red. It might appear as a pink-red if your natural lip color shows through. As for the glow, it's there, but subtle - like you've applied a tinted lip balm with a bit of color. I was pretty let down, to be honest. But as I kept applying, I discovered the reason... The packaging controls the amount automatically, so only a tiny bit comes out on the applicator. With such a sheer formula and minimal product, no wonder it starts off so subtle! I figured the shine would be minimal too. From then on, I kept layering it, aiming for more color. After several applications, a slightly deeper cool red emerged. It wasn't as bright as I'd hoped, but it was that color that makes your skin look fairer and your eyes more defined, even without much eye makeup. I realized it might take 2-3 times more layering than other brands' tints. Then, as I checked the mirror before heading out, I was shocked - what happened to the shine? It looked like someone had covered my lips in strawberry tanghuru! The glossiness was incredible! While most moisturizing tints develop some shine over time, Ameli's glow seems different - it's not just a water-like sheen, but more like the oil and moisture are perfectly balanced, just as the product page describes. My lips looked absolutely stunning! I've been considering lip plumping treatments since my lips have gotten smaller recently, but with this tint, I might not need to bother! 💗 Staying power To be honest, I avoided buying Ameli tints before the revamp because of longevity concerns. I buy tints for their staying power, and Ameli (and Narcissism) seemed to fall short. But with zero expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. It didn't survive mala tang, but it held up well through sandwiches and fruit. The glossiness went from tanghuru-level to a more subtle serum-like glow. The stain left behind was a light, classic red. It barely transferred when drinking water, and the color remained intact. It's definitely a true tint! 💗 Darkening Almost none! The initial application isn't really the true color due to the formula and packaging, so if we consider that sheer, clear red as the starting point, it would be unfair to compare it to the product page. But once you've built up the color, there's hardly any darkening. 💗 Lip moisture retention It keeps your lips surprisingly hydrated! The transfer feels water-like, with a hint of moisture, as if the oil is locking in the hydration. The moisturizing effect lasts impressively long. 💗 Does it look good even when applied hastily? Yes! Moisturizing formulas are generally easy to work with, and while this isn't as matte, the Ameli tint dispenses such a small amount that even a quick, careless application looks beautiful. 💗 Doesn't particularly favor warm or cool skin tones The initial application suits light skin tones, multiple layers work for deeper tones, and the color itself has a neutral quality that works for medium tones too. However, it leans slightly cool.
ConsI've never seen a tint where the opening gets dirty so easily. The automatic amount control is nice, but if you keep reinserting the applicator to get more product, the opening becomes a mess. I always wipe excess product with a tissue, but with other brands, it's just a precaution. With Ameli, it feels absolutely necessary to avoid a disaster. Also, the amount of product is surprisingly small. I've used it about 4 times, and I can already feel it's decreasing noticeably.
TipIf you're interested in a specific color, use a Chicor coupon to get the best deal. Alternatively, keep an eye out for Ameli's regular sales on their official site or set discounts. While you won't regret paying full price, it's always better to save a bit and maybe buy an extra one, right?
