The lip balm had weak pigmentation, and the lipstick was not as moisturizing as the lip balm, which was a concern. But with just one application, this product provides the perfect 'water-like lip' effect I was looking for, with great color payoff and moisturization. I really love it!! If you want even more color payoff, you can apply multiple layers, but I find that a single application looks the best to me. :)
Cons
There are no regrets! It's the exact product I was looking for, so I really like it~~~

Highly recommended for those with a neutral skin tone! ★★ It has great lasting power and is moisturizing, which is amazing. I've used 4 bottles of this over the past year. It's great for bare-faced wear and also works well when applied over makeup. There's no emphasis on flaky skin. I heard it's very popular in Japan, so I doubt it will be discontinued... If it does get discontinued, I'll be devastated.
Cons
The Hwahae is quite expensive, isn't it? It's so moisturizing that it wears out quickly, so I have to buy it often, but the price is a bit high, haha.
Tip
I really like using the Feu 3D Voluming Gloss in Vanilla 30% together. (See photo reference) It helps fill in the lack of luminosity and the color harmony is great.

The skin tone is a muted autumn tone, with a tendency towards redness. It is a skin type that looks uneven in tone. After applying foundation, the redness subsides a bit. The color is like a watery rose, making it good for daily use. The lips are on the drier side, but there is no emphasizing of flakiness, and they apply moisturized. The color also tends to stay on well, even after application. The angled shape makes it easy to apply the lipstick according to the shape of the lips.
Cons
The formula is soft and melting, so it's warm, but if you leave it out, it can melt, so be careful. It's suitable for use at room temperature.
Tip
The product is great for job interviews and daily makeup. It gives a radiant, natural-looking glow, as if you're not wearing any makeup. It leaves your lips looking healthy and vibrant.

The shine doesn't go away even after eating. I recommend Hwahae Trial Reviewers for those looking for a long-lasting lip gloss that doesn't come off.
Cons
It's a bit pricey? Perhaps because it's in the form of a lip balm, it seems to be used up quickly.

The formula lasts quite a long time, which is impressive for a lip balm! I also got it at a slightly lower price, though it's not an absolute steal. The application is smooth, and the scent is not particularly distinctive. The simple design is also convenient for quick application without a mirror. While my lips tend to be on the drier side, and some lip products can make them feel itchy due to my sensitive skin, this one didn't cause any irritation. It was a reliable, hassle-free option to use.
Cons
As a fair-skinned individual, I made a poor color selection with the Pink Banana shade, which ended up looking a bit dull on me.

The texture is very smooth and creamy, gently exfoliating the flaky skin while applying evenly. It doesn't cause the skin to flake or peel, allowing for a clean, polished lip look. The color is a warm, light-reflecting shade that brightens the face like a fluorescent light. It has a delicate pink-rose hue with a hint of peach, giving a soft yet vibrant color that revitalizes the complexion. The color payoff is excellent, lasting a long time and maintaining its vibrancy, providing great longevity.
Cons
It's just too good...haha I'm still very satisfied and continuing to use this color.

If your lips are dry and matte, with visible flakiness, is there a moisturizing yet long-lasting lip product? After constantly searching, I discovered Lip Monster, which had a major advertisement campaign at Olive Young. I ordered the best-selling Pink Banana shade without being able to swatch it first. It has good moisturizing properties and applies comfortably without feeling heavy. You can apply it liberally. It does transfer a bit when drinking from a cup right after application, but if you wait 10 minutes, it barely transfers. However, it leaves a slightly oily film on the lips, which some may find unpleasant. This is a great recommendation for those who dislike dryness and flakiness but find matte lipsticks too high-maintenance. While it doesn't have the same long-lasting power as matte lipsticks, it lasts quite well for a moisturizing formula. The minimalist packaging design is also very nice. I wish there were testers available to find the perfect shade for me, but I'm still deciding between Clump of Desire and 3am.
Cons
The Pink Banana shade ended up being a bit too warm-toned for me. The color is quite sheer, so it doesn't create a defined lip line. The minimalist packaging is great, but it can be hard to find in a black bag. Differentiating between multiple shades would also be challenging, though they do provide stickers for color identification.
Tip
If I layer another lip product over the Pink Banana, the color payoff becomes more intense compared to wearing it alone.

It has a great application! It applies smoothly and softly, and while some products become clumpy when applied, this product does not! The color is not too pink or too orange, so it seems to suit everyone (though the pink tone does become more pronounced with a few more applications). It's the perfect moisturizing lipstick - not too much! The moisture also lasts a long time.
Cons
There's not really any major downside!! I'd like to try other colors as well.
