Beautifulbuns : a beauty, travel & lifestyle blog

I was never much of a bright lip person until a few months ago - I attribute this mostly to my laziness in not wanting to scrub my mugs and cups that much hehehe. But you know what? That overused line is true - that there are no ugly women, just lazy women. These days, I’m armed with a sponge and dishwashing liquid for my mugs, and lip products galore in my carry-around pouch.

A large variety of colours!

• #1 Orchid Pink
• #2 Bashful (Shy) Apricot Blossoms
• #3 Scented Fresh Coral (check my post on Innisfree Cushions Class for the swatch)
• #4 Spring Days Romance Peach
• #5 Refreshing Vitamin Red
• #6 Sunlight Focus Pink
• #7 Tangerine Orange

An unusually large photo of myself for reasons unknown. I guess I couldn’t find anything else to combine it together with. hurhur.

I say…

• It comes in a normal plastic tube with a screw-open cap attached to the applicator.
• The soft sponge applicator has a rounded tip for relatively accurate application around the corners and isn’t abrasive.
• I love the fruity citrus scent that comes with it.
• It glides on smoothly - it’s kinda like a really intensely-coloured lip gloss (or a watered-down version of a lipstick).
• The colour is crazy vibrant and is more hot pink than peach.
• Unlike the Etude House Color Lips-Fit, this doesn’t dry immediately upon application. Instead, it feels more moist and hydrating despite its similar matte finish (which takes about 5-10 mins to come into effect).
• Thankfully, the matte finish doesn’t emphasis some much on my moderately-chapped lips, so yay for all similar peeps out there - we can haz matte effect lips!
• That said, it does begin to seep into the cracks and lines of the lips after several hours of wear (about 2-3).
• Beauty tip: I found that I can actually “refresh” the colour by drinking some water and wetting my lips. But don’t do this too often - you’ll just end up transferring most of the colour onto your glass.
• After about 4-6 hours, it fades into a rosy just-bitten tint. At this point, if you’ve got chapped lips like me, your lip flakes will start forming and yes, they will be rosy just-bitten tinted too. hohoho.
• It also comes with a gloss finishing in case you don’t like the matte finish - I’m fine with both.

Surprisingly, I really like this (despite its matte finish) cos it’s so pigmented and one coat is enough to get a crazy vibrance that’s enough to brighten up your overall outlook. Now to buy them in all 7 colours ?
