The longevity is better than expected, and the color is really beautiful. It has a similar vibe to the Nars Dolce, but the Dolce has more of an orange tone, while this one is closer to a toned-down peach pink? It's a lukewarm color, but it goes on smoothly and doesn't make the skin look dull. I think this color would suit the summer muted tones the best. I have both the cool and warm muted tones, and I highly recommend this to those with similar skin tones. I used to like the brighter colors that made my skin look radiant, but lately I've really been loving these lukewarm and clear colors. I used to think these types of colors wouldn't suit me without any base makeup, but my mind has changed. The photo is of me wearing just this product, but normally I apply a light layer of tint on the inner parts and then put this on top. If they discontinue this, I'll probably stock up on a few.
Cons
If you eat something and then apply this product, it gets messy. You'll need to thoroughly wipe it off with a wet wipe before reapplying for a clean application.
Tip
The color is similar to the 3CE Mermaid, but the saturation is different.

A pink color that goes well with any tone, making it a frequent choice.
Cons
The actual product swatch appears much more muted compared to the detailed page swatch.

The color is neutral, not overly warm or cool, and seems like it would be easy to use.
Cons
The bottle design feels a bit outdated, which is a bit disappointing.

Autumn Mute Light Grayish Review ♥ (Also used with Yeokkeul) I've been keeping an eye on the color Serenada, a delicate and lukewarm strawberry milk color that goes well with any tone. Finally, I got it -!! <Features> - The sales photo makes it look incredibly long, but in reality, it's smaller than expected. - It's not a honest rectangular shape, but a crooked hexagonal one, so if you close the lid carelessly, it won't close properly. You can only close it in one direction to match the crooked lines, so it might be inconvenient to use frequently. - It's thin and long, so it feels like it'll break the moment you apply it thickly. - There's a lingering chocolate scent!!! It feels like rubbing chocolate on your lips... I like it. - As a single color, it feels a bit flat and dull. If I had to analyze it, it seems to suit the warm-toned spring better than the warm-toned fall. It also goes well with cherry-colored Yeokkeul tones, but this one is a bit brighter. I'm usually a tint person, so lipsticks feel unfamiliar to me. I don't like the slightly burdened, uneven feeling that's characteristic of lipsticks when first applied, but with this one, after about 10 minutes, it seeps in and becomes like my own lips. I think I'll use this often when going for a natural, unadorned look.
Cons
Even just looking at the photo, Serenada alone seems a bit... It looks like a dot on the lips, and doesn't it look a bit auntie-ish? Oh my, I've become a mom... When wearing it as a single color, it feels like the lips are a bit uneven, I'm not sure if it doesn't match my tone, but it's like 'I've applied a matte lip'... But if you add a gradient + a bit of shine, it blends in nicely, and it feels like the Serenada color is originally on the lips, and the inner part just becomes a bit deeper and stands out. Anyway, that means it's better to apply it with other colors. The staying power is crap^^
Tip
The first photo is the color with Daisy Crunch Peach Crush and Peripera Red Taste House applied on top. The 2nd and 3rd photos are Serenada alone, then Serenada with Daisy Crunch and Peripera. The Serenada color seems to go well with any color when mixed. It gives the feeling of just adding a bit of saturation to the original lip color...

The color seems to have a lot of variation and appears to shift differently on different people, which is the nature of color cosmetics. But this shade seems to have an even greater range. I was really curious about this shade since it was re-released after being discontinued, so I decided to try it out. The opacity is just right in the middle, and when swatched on my wrist, it's ambiguous whether it leans warm or cool. There also seems to be a hint of opacity in it. In terms of temperature, it comes across as slightly cool on me. But the formula doesn't feel off, it's just unique and unfamiliar. If it gets any cooler, it might veer into the grunge/goth territory. It's a shade that could work well as a base or an overlaying lip routine, and the smaller size compared to a regular lipstick makes it even more versatile.
Cons
The reason I gave it two stars is the lipstick quality. I assumed the quality would be good since they dispensed a generous amount, but I was greatly disappointed... It applies unevenly and kind of 'drags' on the lips. Even though my lips don't have that many wrinkles, it accentuates them a lot, and a single application doesn't give an even coverage. Luckily, I have the MAC Prep + Prime Lip Primer, and using that helped to improve the application a lot.

The color comes up in a pretty pink that is not too burdensome and not too dull. The first photo is (taken under lighting) Espoir The Sleek Lipstick Cream Matte 'Serenade' + Heart Percent Dot On Mood Dewy Melting Lipstick '1 Dewy Glow' + Rom&nd Glasting Water Gloss '1 Coral Crush' I applied them in that order! This is the combination I've been using a lot lately for a bare-faced look. The standalone shots are at the very end.
Cons
There is a slight emphasis on flakiness. Since it's a matte formula, it looks a bit patchy when used alone. I suppose that's inevitable! And when I swatched it on the back of my hand, it looked red, but when I actually applied it, the pink tone was stronger. Just something to keep in mind.
