It's a must-buy for those with deep undertones and cheilitis... <Photo: Rosy Coral vs Pure Red> <Summary> 1. Excellent ingredients. No cheilitis flare-ups since using it, and lip condition is improving significantly. (I have sensitive lips that can't tolerate most popular tints.) 2. A versatile coral shade perfect for deep undertones. Not too orange, it adapts naturally to your complexion. (The color on your lips differs from the swatch.) 3. Transparent finish. Can be layered without feeling greasy, allowing for slight color build-up. 4. Easy to apply without a mirror. 5. Doesn't melt in your pocket. However, it's not super hydrating, so warm it up slightly on the back of your hand for a smoother application. <Detailed Praise> I've been enjoying the existing shades of this lip treatment balm but was missing a warm tone. The Rosy Coral is perfect - it's definitely a coral color balm designed for deep undertones, and I love it. It seems to be a recent release, and I hope it continues to gain popularity. It doesn't turn pink at all, but gives just the right coral tint. Yet it's not overly orange, making it versatile for any makeup look. Of course, the color payoff is very subtle. I've included a comparison photo with the existing shade, and you can see the color is definitely lighter. It doesn't apply exactly as it appears, but adapts transparently to your natural lip color. (That's not to say it has no color payoff.) What's unique is that unlike regular color balms that can look strange and greasy when layered, this one builds evenly and doesn't feel heavy no matter how much you apply. The existing shades could turn into a cool pink only suitable for cool undertones when layered, but this one doesn't have that issue - which I really appreciate. Also, I'm not sure if the formula has been updated, but it feels subtly more hydrating compared to Pure Red. (That's a good thing!) And Isoi's signature rose scent is fantastic...
ConsIt's not extremely hydrating, so don't expect it to be like the melting sticks that are popular these days! On the plus side, it doesn't melt in your pocket. Since it doesn't melt easily, you can keep the packaging clean while using it.
