Balm Formula

Once you twist it up, you can't twist it back down. It doesn't stain well, so you need to reapply frequently throughout the day.

The bouncy, elastic texture gives a sensation of boosting hydration! The color payoff is natural and lovely.

진저슈가 멜팅밤 [02 소프트모브]

I usually apply it carefully in one go, using just a small amount. If it seems to wear off quickly, I simply reapply.

There's nothing bad to say. While the staying power might be slightly disappointing, I actually prefer it because it doesn't leave any stains.

I initially had no intention of buying it, thinking it was just a lip balm. But when I tested it in-store, I realized it was actually a melting balm! When I tried the color, the rose shade suited me perfectly and looked absolutely gorgeous, so I decided to purchase it. I'm around shade 21, and when applied alone, it gives a delicate, subtle look that I really love. I'm definitely planning to repurchase this.

It does tend to get on your teeth, haha! But it's easy enough to wipe off with a tissue. I can overlook this because it's so pretty and hydrating.

This is my everyday essential that I always keep in my bag! It's great for preventing chapped lips in the dry winter, no matter when I apply it. But the best part? The color is absolutely stunning! It's a shade that suits every Korean complexion. Even though I have a cool summer skin tone and usually don't look good in harsh pink shades, this one, which is closer to a neutral, looked beautiful on my lips. Please, please don't discontinue this product!

The shade might be a bit intense for a bare-faced look.

The color payoff is great and it stains quite well! It's also excellent for use as a blush.

I think this is the first time I've used up an entire lip product! Not sure if it's because I used it a lot or if there's just less product, but the affordable price makes it great for generous application.

Light/Shade 21 for cool undertones
It's cool-toned, but more on the neutral side. My lips have a bluish tint, and since the melting balm is warmer than expected, it's not the absolute best match. However, it works perfectly fine as a base color.
My lips tend to be dry with a lot of dead skin cells. The ginger sugar scent gives it a nice weight. While it's not quite a lip mask, it's more hydrating than most lip balms.
It's fantastic for swiping on when I'm bare-faced, and it's an excellent base under makeup too. I've tried other shades, but this one is the most versatile and I reach for it the most.
I've just finished it and plan to repurchase.

To get almost the same effect as Healthy Pink, they say to apply Bare Peach as a base and then layer Soft Mauve on top. It's supposed to be identical!

There's not really any downside, but since the formula is so rich, I recommend using a lip brush for precise application.

I bought this after hearing it was similar to Chanel's Healthy Pink, and the glow is truly beautiful! While it doesn't stain much, the formula itself is so rich that it lasts quite a while. It's affordable too, so I think I'll get a lot of use out of it!

The scent and taste are so strong that I hesitate to use it. Being a balm, I expected it, but the staying power is practically non-existent. I don't bother taking it with me when I'm out for long periods.

I bought this melting balm because I wanted to try it, and the color is beautiful! The beige pigment is lovely, and the color payoff seems really good.

It's a bit frustrating that once you twist it up, it doesn't retract. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible to check how much product is left.

The glow is incredible! It truly lives up to its name as a melting balm. While the staying power is inevitably a bit disappointing, I absolutely use this on days when I want to bring out a radiant shine on my lips.

Since the staining and color intensity aren't too strong, you can make it even more beautiful by defining your lip line with a lip pencil!

The stickiness is unavoidable, unfortunately. Given that it's a glossy lip product, I suppose we'll have to accept this aspect.

Cool-toned makeup lovers, this is a must-have! I wasn't impressed with the recent 'tanghulu' lip products, but I bought this immediately after swatching it on my hand. When I wore it out, all my friends went crazy saying how pretty it looked! Just apply this as a base and add a pop of color in the center - it's perfection!

If you apply it too thick, it can look tacky, but if you dab it on lightly, it looks beautiful.

Like most melting lip balms, it transfers easily and once you pull out the stick, it doesn't retract back in.

Moisturizing and glossy, it's like a tanghulu lip! I thought it would be a cool shade because of the mauve color, but it surprisingly complements deep undertones well.

I didn't really find anything disappointing about it. I plan to buy it again when I finish this one.

It's so lovely as a moisturizing, natural-looking lip product. I'll definitely repurchase when I run out!
