[Review] Berrisom Lip Tint Pack in Chic Purple

Friday, April 3, 2015

Happy April everyone! I posted the video for this last week, but haven't had the chance until now to actually make a post on it for those of you who prefer to read their reviews :) I was excited to try this Berrisom Lip Tint Pack in Chic Purple because it seemed so unique!

So let's get to the breakdown...

Application...
I can't remember the last time I used a squeeze tube lip product! Honestly! For me, I usually use an applicator so it was interesting trying to use the squeeze tube. However, because the formula is a bit thicker it was hard for me to be accurate with the application. I guess some people use brushes for this product? Seems like a lot of work...
Right after application.. don't know if you can see how thick it is!
Formula...
Boy, this stuff is thick. And tacky too! I assume it has to be though in order for it to peel off properly. I also wanted to mention that this formula does have a weird smell... not sure if I like that either... It did peel off nicely though. It did not pull off any skin and hurt at all.. I was a little afraid of that!

Results...
Right after I peeled it off, I could definitely see that my lips had a nice stain. The color is pretty too! But there were tinyyy little pieces of the mask left on my lips. I actually didn't notice it right away... I noticed it when I went back and looked at the pictures and footage! It also does smudge, smear, or rub off on anything.. Nice!
Right after I peeled it off.
Longevity...
Whoa, my lips look dry. This is about 7-8 hours later without reapplying anything to my lips. You can see that I clearly need chapstick. I ate and drank with this on, and you can see there is a little bit of the color left. However, I probably wouldn't have noticed the color if I wasn't looking for it....

Overall...
I really wanted to like this, I really did. But I have super dry lips, so I need something on them pretty much at all times to keep them from looking gross. The color was very pretty right after, however the color didn't last the whole 12 hours like promised :( I like the overall idea of this, but wish it last longer, was more moisturizing, and didn't have an awful smell!

[Review] TONY MOLY Tony Tint Delight Lip Tint in 02

Tuesday, January 13, 2015

I received the Tony Moly Tony Tint Delight as a freebie with my recent haul from Beautynetkorea! I love this site and think it's awesome they give you a free full-sized product after you spend so much money. I was excited because I'd heard some good things and immediately decided to try it out.

Let's look at....

The packaging...


This is just your typical lip tint packaging. I love the shape of the cap though, which is in the shape of a heart!


Like I mentioned, the shade number I have is No. 02

The applicator...
I have mixed feelings about this applicator. I like the shape because it is pointed, which makes it easier to apply this precisely. However, the doe-foot applicator is really long, which makes it kind of difficult to use the flat side to apply it to your lips. It kind of gets everywhere. You can also see in the picture that on the flat side of the applicator, there is a fair amount of product just sitting on it. Because the bottle doesn't scrape the lip tint off for you, you end up getting it everywhere. I had to actually use my fingers to wipe off lip tint that had gotten on the skin around my lips, and then I washed my hands so it wouldn't stain. 

The color and formula....
I like the consistency of this lip tint. It's nice and watery, which makes it feel very light. It's slightly sticky at first, but once it dries, it feels nice. It's a little on the dry side, but it's not the driest formula I've encountered. As for the shade, I love these type of red colors. They look so nice, and I don't feel like I need a ton of makeup on my face to pull it off. This is also a layer-able color, so if you want it to appear darker, you can apply one coat, let it dry, and then apply another!


The wear of the formula...
Ok, so this is where is gets tricky for me again. Since this is a watery lip tint, I don't expect it to last all day. Usually with these types of lip products, expect to reapply through out the day (so take it with you if you're leaving your house for a while!) Like most lip tints, it starts to wear off in random places, so it does look a little weird after a while. In the picture below, I had it on for a couple hours, and you can see it's wearing off on the edges of my lips and really staining the dry parts of my lips (near the center). It's not terrible but it's not the most flattering thing ever so you will have to touch it up every couple of hours! 

Here's a super close up to show what I'm talking about!

[Review] Clio Virgin Kiss Lipnicure Lip Stain Color in #8 Guilty Pink

Monday, January 12, 2015

Ah, so this begins the 2 weeks of reviews everyday! For my first post in this series, I'm going to be reviewing their Clio Virgin Kiss Lipnicure in #8 Guilty Pink. Even though they're mainly known for their eye makeup, I wanted to give this product a go!

This first caught my eye while I was browsing in the Clio Store when I saw their bright display of all the beautiful, super pigmented colors. I'd heard some mixed reviews so I knew I wanted to try one myself. I picked this color in particular because it's unique, bright, and a color I think would look good on every skintone.

Let's look at:
The packaging...

I really love the packaging of this lip stain. It's cute, chic, and looks just like a little bottle of nail polish. 

The color, which is like I mentioned, #8 Guilty Pink. 

Here's a picture of the box if you're interested!

The english description...

The Korean on the side of the box....

The top of the box, which tells you what color you're buying. 

The applicator...
Whoa, this applicator is awesome. I love how it curves to your lips, which helps apply the color more evenly, and that it also has a somewhat pointed tip, which helps you apply it more accurately. This applicator is so nice and accurate, I actually don't find myself using a lip liner with it! It's also pretty sturdy, so it doesn't bend when you're using it!

The color and formula...
Like I said, I love this color. It looks nice on my skin tone and I can tell it would work well for others too. The swatch below is a pretty accurate depiction of what it looks like in real life, so it's VERY bright! And it's nice and opaque. As far as the formula goes, it's actually very creamy when you initially apply it. After it dries, it does feel a little dry. Nothing a quick layer of balm on the top of couldn't fix! It also, surprisingly, dries to a fairly matte finish, which I wasn't aware of until I started wearing it. 


The wear of the formula
OK, I'm going to be totally honest. I really want to give this lip stain an awesome review. But it's doesn't wear super nice. After a couple hours (or eating/drinking) you can see where it starts to peel/wear off. Sorry for the awkward pic, but I really wanted you to see how it wears off on the inside of the lips. However, I'm a little hesitant to dock to many points off because I have NEVER found a lip stain that wears off nicely. That's pretty much how they come off. Of course, in a perfect world, the lipstick would come off all at once and gracefully come off. But that's just not the nature of lip stains. So it's really up to your judgement!
