Review: My Current Lipcolors

I have a thing for lip products, especially if they look like a lip crayon/chubby stick.

There's like 4 different lip products in my bag omg!

daily usage makes it flat hohoho

First one, the Silkygirl Moisture Boost Lipcolor Balm in Poppy. I got this along with Wine maybe earlier this year?Silkygirl is a home grown brand with decent products. I am so loving this colour because it makes my complexion looks brighter haha.

The good thing about lip crayons is that I can get away applying it on my lips without looking at a mirror. Major win :)

For this Silkygirl balm the staying power is low to medium and it gets a bit gritty after a few hours. I just wipe off and reapply or layer it on.

One layer and the coverage is  quite decent. For an opaque finish i'd suggest 2 to 3 layers.

I have a second lip crayon which is the Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain
 in Lovesick. This is the exact same colour i have of another lip tint. Haha anyway i got this because it was cheap like rm 6 ish. It has a minty peppermint scent and glides on smoothly. Leaves a stain on my lips after wiping and holds better than the Silkygirl one. Normal price is RM 10 more than Silkygirl's though.

Third one is a Gel Tint from In2it. Got this because it has a bundle offer together with a clear lip balm.

It is gel so it is thicker than water tints. I use it to make gradient lips or to add color to my lips #darklipsproblems. Staying power is superb if I don't eat or drink while wearing this. 80% of this tint will come off after a meal. Great as a blusher too... you just have to be very fast!

The last one is the one i reached for least, the Holika Holika Gradiation Neon Lips which has a water tint on one side and a clear gloss on the other. It doesn't stain much and that is the reason why I neglect it a lot.

If you  have naturally light coloured lips, this should be able to give colour to your lips like it should. It has weak staining power and i reckon staying power is 2 to 3 hours before you need to reapply.

Now the swatches! I've applied 3 layers of each product on my hand and the colours do look very bright!

I put my hand over running tap water and smudged my finger across. The Holika Holika tint wore off a lot, which is normal considering that it is a water tint.

And then I upped the game by washing my hand with a soap bar. The strongest staying power definitely goes from In2it →Revlon→Silkygirl→Holika Holika being the weakest. In fact Holika Holika disappeared without a trace omg!

What next? I'll defo get the Matte Fever Lipcolor Balm from Silkygirl. There's a shade called Passion which is a bright neon fuschia pink which looks so nice~

ciao~

Review: A'pieu Pure Tint in Chamung (Grapefruit)

Price: ~2500won (she forgot the actual price, it was 2xxx won)

Weight: 8g

Availability: Korea

Ingredients: collagen water, hyaluronic acid, graepfruit extract

This is a very cute water tint from A'pieu. Personally I've never heard of this brand but my sister bought their concealer, primer, masks from A'pieu during her visit to Busan in late July. They were on SALE! According to my sis, they were having a 50% sale on almost everything in store (not sure if she's exaggerating).

So yeah, this is the second review of the series What My Sis Got From Korea.

This super cute tint in Grapefruit is in a sturdy glass or plastic bottle with a cute twist cap.

The tint comes off easily upon contact with water. That is a hint that it does not really stain your lips. It is however less drying compared to the Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint I reviewed last month.

6 dots may not be enough!

The tint has a sweet taste omg.

The good: Really cute packaging, cute colour, less drying

The bad: Stay on power is weak

Review: Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in PK001 Cherry Pink

Weight: 9g

Price: I got this at RM14.40 inclusive of shipping

Description: Tint promotes moist & shiny cherry lips with a creamy, smooth texture.

This tint was my sister's purchase. She used the sample size of this tint and decided to buy the full size in the same colour, too!

Etude House has 4 different colours for Fresh Cherry Tint.

The packaging follows Etude House's cute concept with a dreamy pink bottle which is easy to carry around, and is about the same size as a lipstick!

The box and the tint, it's very cute!

The applicator is pink in colour and the tint is a creamy baby pink.

The tint will dry and fade into a lighter colour for a subtle, barely there look.

This is my sister's bare lips.

Right after applying. This PK001 colour suits people who wants a healthier look as it adds some colour to your lips without being a statement. The tint stays on for 2-3 hours and may need reapplication.

This tint is not as drying as Peripera's tint, but it can be a little bit drying. I recommend the use of lip balm to reduce lip dryness.

The good: Cute packaging, easy to carry around, cheap, easy to apply

The bad: a little drying
