Review: Lioele Blooming Pop Pinky Tint

I really like the lips sported by Korean actresses. I rarely see bold colors and lippies, it's more of tints and natural looking lips in pink or peach. It happens that I really like tints a lot and I always swatch any tint on make-up counters to see if they are good. Most of tints available in the malls are liquid and gel and they are either in red, red orange or reddish pink. I love the fact that they are mostly 2-in-1 products because it doesn't just saves time but saves space in my kikay kit as well. I won't say that it saves money because I know it won't. I still buy make-ups despite having numerous items already irregardless if they are 2-in-1 or not. Yes I am a make-up addict and a slight impulse buyer. Tell me that I am not alone!~ *lol*

Okay so I just grabbed myself a milky tint. Milky tints are so raved years ago until now. I am curious to death on how it fares so I've gotten my own bottle, my first milky tint is from Lioele.

 Product Description:

A stain that plants a kiss of see-through tint on cheeks and lips.Soft and moisture absorbing milk lotion with stickiness.Hours of smudge-proof and water-proof.  

It comes in 3 variants: Orange tintpinky tint and cherry tint.

I only use Lioele Blooming Pop Pinky Tint on my lips. Color is too sheer for my cheeks and besides, the moisturizing property by this tint is not appropriate for cheeks IMO. On my lips I can layer on the product to build up the color intensity. The shade deepens after a few seconds though, which is quite interesting. Don't be fooled by the fluorescent pink shade in the bottle because it applies as sheer or pink depends on how you use it.
The smell is like cherries, it comes off a bit strong but goes away quickly after application. Color somehow stains even after a bit of eating snacks, not heavy meals. Though personally I like wiping the thing off because I feel like it looks uneven, but that's just me. :)

What I love:
  • Cute packaging like a nail polish (just like my Bench tint here minus the handle)
  • Color is more like neon/fluorescent pink
  • Smells like cherries
  • Has no weird taste
  • Creamy texture
  • Color is light pink when freshly applied but changes into a deeper shade of pink after a minute
  • Color is buildable.
  • Perfect base for gradient lips effect!
  • Lasts long, there is color still visible even after drinking and eating.

What I don't:
  • It leaves a bit of tingling sensation right after application
  • I won't know how much product is left
  • Leaves lips feeling moisturized but may still highlight dry patches
  • Light feeling on lips like you didn't put anything
  • Leaves a white film on lips after an hour or so (have you experienced this?)
Reason why quoted from a Thriftyfun question:
It's not the lip product, it's dried saliva. You would otherwise lick your lips often enough to keep it collected. Just tiptoe to the ladies' room, tissue off the lip gloss, wash with moistened tissues, and reapply, then step out looking dewy and lovely again. I'm a dental hygienist, and believe it or not, this is a common question.

How much?
P495/ 8g. 

This product is perfect for light make-up look. I am looking forward to using more of milky tints of different color and brand next time. How about you lovelies, any tint favorites?

Review: Herbench Pretty when Pinched Cheek and Lip Tint

Long ago, in a faraway place, there lived a lovely princess named Snow White. Her hair was black as coal, her lips red as rose, and her skin as white as snow.
We all know how beautiful Snow White is and I admit I once dream of becoming like her. Now it's not so impossible after we get a pinch of color on our cheeks! Rosy cheeks + rosy lips = Snow White look, yes? :)

Herbench Pretty when Pinched Cheek and Lip Tint is already a famous lip tint to start with. I bought one on a whim because I love the product swatch.


I can't capture a shot of my own tint now because it doesn't look presentable anymore
As you can see the product is inside a glass bucket nail polish type packaging. It is delicate and can break easily so you need to be extra careful if you have this inside your kikay kit. Sadly because of my own carelessness I broke mine and I lost half of the product amount *sad*. I can only use it now before I go out because it will surely make a mess inside my kit if I attempt to bring it along with me.

My Experience:

Herbench tint is scary purplish red inside the glass bucket but when swatched the color is soft reddish pink and oh-so buildable. It is oil free and and a water type of tint but not so runny. It doesn't clog my pores when used as a cheek tint and it doesn't dry out my lips when I use it as a lip tint. You don't need to hurry when applying this because it doesn't dry fast but you still need to become careful to blend it well to avoid red streaks which is common for tints. Herbench Pretty when Pinched tint doesn't last long both on cheeks and lips but the color is lovely and I don't mind reapplication!

How I use it: I use this on top of my bb cream usually as lip and cheek tint, perfect for natural make-up look.
How much: P180/ 40 ml in Bench stores nationwide

What I love:
It's an affordable and accessible product.
A little goes a long way.
Has no weird taste nor smell

What I don't:
It doesn't last long especially on the lips.
Package is made of glass :(


Will I buy again?
YES! I totally love this tint despite the fact that it doesn't last long. Herbench tint's color and no fuss application wins me over. This is an affordable tint that delivers! :)

Ayo sisses, can you shout out your favorite lip and cheek tint below?
