Peripera Peri's Lip Tint #2

Those into Asian cosmetics are well aware of what lip tints are and why they are such a hit. For those who don't know, it's basically a pigmented water-like tint that is great for creating the ever-so-popular gradation tint.

I'm sure the tint trend isn't fading anytime, in fact it's only getting stronger and stronger! Established are constantly improving and creating new tints. The popular Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint has been reformulated and repackaged three times already!

Out of all my tints, Peripera Peri's is one of my favorite. It's the one I reach for the most and one of the first tints I bought when I landed in Seoul.

In the photo, the color may look dark. On the lips, it's a "healthy" red color that makes my lips look as if I just ate a popsicle. Even after meals and water, the color still remains. The scent is delightfully fruity and the texture is just like water.

The bottle can be bulkier than other brands, so I don't carry it around with me. I like the doe foe applicator and I usually swipe off any excess before application. There are five other colors in this line, but #2 is the one I prefer most. Other than this Peri's, Peripera also has other tints that comes in different form - twist up balm, tin, etc.

May Favorites!

My first monthly favorites post! Usually I tend to use my products for a month before I swap them around, so I thought it would be nice to share the products I enjoyed using most.

1. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer
A hyped product on YouTube, where I first discovered and heard of this product. Usually, I tend to stick with high-end concealers, since I find it to have better pigmentations. But I found this Age Rewind Concealer to be especially great for highlighting rather than concealer.
Downside? packaging. After one use, it practically exploded somehow. So sad since a lot of product was wasted.

2. Josie Maran Magic Marker Lip & Cheek Stain
I used to own a similar marker tint from Revlon. I enjoyed using it, but somehow I lost it. I feel the same about this Josie Maran marker. The tint looks natural, but I didn't find it to be long lasting. Also the price ($19) was a bit much since I could buy a similar product at the drugstore for half the cost. Pass.

3. Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint
Love, love, love! This is more of a gel-type tint, rather than the watery ones. Gels tend to sit more comfortably on my lips. If you have pigmented lips and haven't found a tint that shows its true color, this this one is a MUST! I find it much more pigmented than any other tints I've tried thus far. Cute packaging and highly affordable. I own all the colors, but this red one is my fave.

Too Cool For School Milk Tint Orange Review

Too Cool For School is a Korean make up brand that costs a bit more than your typical Etude House or The Face Shop. For me, since I do enjoy art- I particularly enjoy their products. If you ever get a chance to visit their store, you'll see that the inside is decorated like an art studio!

Anyway, I'm obsessed with tints and no country makes tints like Korea. This orange milk tint has a light gel texture, which is different from the usual water tints. I find the texture adheres well on the lips and it makes the color last longer! This shade of orange is very natural and not "in your face" bold!

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint Swatches

My bad beauty habit is the fact that when I can't decide on a color, I will buy them in every color! Of course, sometimes it ends up being a bad decision (especially if the product sucks) but in this case, buying all the Fresh Cherry Tints from Etude House turned out to be a wonderful decision!

Lip tints are usually not made for pigmented lips, but these cherry tints are so pigmented! The pink actually looks pink on my lips. With other tints, I may need to conceal my lip color in order to achieve the color in the bottle. 
When this tint dries, it isn't glossy- it's more of a semi-matte finish, which is flattering and natural. There's no obvious scent, which is also great. Highly, highly recommend! 

Tony Moly Bunny Gloss Bar

One beauty product I hate would have to be lip gloss! I adore the look of glossy lips, but I'm not a fan of the sticky texture.

These bunny gloss bars are more like tinted lip balms, but with a hint of glossyness.

Notice how the caps of the bars shows a different bunny emotion!

What I like about these tints is that the color is natural and the tint stays on for ~6 hours without reapplying.

Too Cool For School Break Time Lip Balm Tint

Too Cool For School is a unique Korean cosmetic brand. Some of their items are higher than Etude House, The Face Shop, etc- but the packaging is of higher quality!

I decided to get this balm in orange, since I already own a lot of pinks and reds. This Break Time tint isn't too pigmented, but because of that it looks really natural.

I'm not a fan of dipping my fingers into products, but since I like the overall effect of this tint, I have no other choice.

Skin Food Fresh Fruit Lip & Cheek Berry Swatches

Brightly colored cheek products can make a big difference!

When applied correctly, bright cheeks can make you look healthy, younger, glowing and innocent.

This small lip & cheek tint is portable and extremely easy to use! While it may look super bright in the tin, it is actually not that bright.

I love the vintage tin it comes in! If this color isn't for you, it comes in a load of different shades!

Nature Republic Botanical Shine Tint 01

I own more lip tints than lipsticks because I am one of those who rarely touch up my make up! Out of all the lip tints I own, this one from Nature Republic takes the cake. Why I rank it number one is because it's more like a liquid lipstick tint!

The texture is gel-like and does not settle into your fine lines. Along with that, the lasting power is amazing. Some times with lip tint  if you have pigmented lips, it doesn't show "true to color," but this one goes on exactly like the color on the bottle.

Below is a video of the product; notice how shiny the tint is!
