Secret Key Sweet Glam Tint Glow Review

Hi, guys! WOW I HAVEN'T POSTED FOR MONTHS. Ew, this freaking human *mumbles*. I promised myself to write at least three posts every month, now see how I'm doing. Things got real hectic, but ouch, I have no excuse, guys.

I came to this blog and some of you commented how you checked this blog to see if there's a new post, when you didn't find one you sort of protested (and 11k pageviews? Last time I checked it was still 9k or something). Thank you so much! Those comments surprised me and I can't believe myself. 'What? People actually revisit my blog and they are eager to see some updates--when I can't even write properly.' Again, thank you! It really made me super happy!! I won't abandon this blog (but oops, I did forget that I have a blog), buying the .net domain was a form of my commitment to the blog. I pay it yearly, so even if I forget that I own a blog, the bill will still come to me and be like, 'sup you still have that stupid cottonkuma thing of yours.'

Today I'm going to do a review of this one product--which, wait, looks very familiar.


IS THAT DIOR ADDICT LIP GLOW?

Nope. A dupe, obviously. A wonderful-looking dupe. Guys, guys, I don't want to spend $32 on a damn lip balm, okay? I have always been lusting on Dior Addict Lip Glow, but god knows my wallet is so thin I'm afraid it could disappear into thin air whenever it feels like going poof! Bye, loser.

First, what is this Dior Addict Lip Glow thing?

(or Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm, to be exact. It's this one.)


(The one I want is this one, the packaging is prettier.)


It's a lip balm with sheer, natural pink color that comes in a beautiful packaging from the high-end brand Dior (actually, who doesn't know Dior?). It has SPF 10 and is supposed to 'awaken and enhance the natural beauty of your lips'. It will look like your lip color--just much nicer! How does that sound? Not to forget that it's a lip balm, it's as moisturizing as lip balm and bonus SPF (not very helpful, minimal SPF for lips is 15, but better than nothing, no?). The color will also vary on different person. Yeah.


(In the photo above, the plastic cap appears more pinkish. The first photo of this post shows you the true color. I hate editing the photos of this one product, somehow the colors in every photo are inconsistent.)

Secret Key is a Korean brand that I have heard few times because of their snail products. This is the first Secret Key product I purchased. I was excited when I first saw this product, I didn't wait to buy one.

They do a great job in replicating the packaging. I feel good carrying this around with me, makes me feel sassy.


The twist mechanism works well and when you close the cap it produces 'click' sound. I like how it has lip bullet shape. Because, uh, it feels cool and very womanly. I had great time laughing when my clumsy friend tried to put it on her though, 'how the heck do you apply this?!' since lipsticks feel so foreign to us. I also struggled with it at first, but *cough* none of you will get to see that.

Swatched on arm, the color is nice sheer pink. When first applied on lips, it may appear too red. After a while, it will turn to be reddish on me and on my friend, very cute milky peach color. My friend complained how it was too red after application, but we chatted for a few minutes and I noticed the change. She went to look on the mirror and surprised herself. I'm really sorry I can't show you some photos to prove, no one liked the idea of being my model! (I don't like taking photos of myself too lol) I will come back to this post with some swatches.

First few days of using the lip balm, I felt wonderful, it felt very moisturizing and--just fabulous. But after two weeks or so, I found myself stopped raving it. The lip balm lasts only for few hours and leaves my lips dry, or worse, sometimes chapped. Even with another lip balm underneath. I like the color it gives on my lips, but as a lip balm, it doesn't do its job well.

As it's drying, it's logical to reapply as often as you can. However, after reapplying every two hours, I scared my boyfriend with my extreme red lips. When the moisturizing effect runs out, the stain stays. It's fine if you're a fan of red lips, though.

At the end of the day, will I say that it's a perfect dupe of Dior Addict Lip Glow?

No. It's drying, it's a huge con. How could a product claiming as a lip balm be so drying?

It could work, but here is how to :
  1. Apply.
  2. After around two hours, apply lip balm. Don't reapply Secret Key Sweet Glam Tint Glow.
  3. Watch out, don't wait until your lips are chapped. Always apply another lip balm beforehand.
  4. Reapply Sweet Glam Tint Glow only if the color is gone.
Don't you think it would be such a hassle?

Price :
Rp 119.000,- (approximately $10)

Where to buy :
I purchased mine from Chic Princessa.

What I like :
  • Elegant packaging.
  • Beautiful color that varies on every person. It's just fun.
  • Moisturizing--when it's still there.

What I dislike :
  • YO IT'S DRYING.

Repurchase? Only if they do something with the drying part. Until then, no.

Brb, I have a lot of catching up to do!!
(Edit : OH NO my brother is downloading 10GB++ movies!!)

UPDATE : I'm truly sorry, I think I misjudged this product. I tried switching back and forth to other kinds of lip balm and I think it's MY LIPS' DRYNESS THAT CAN'T BE HELPED (I'm that type of person who doesn't drink water much). I will edit this post properly once I'm done with my work! I specifically went online to edit this post so people won't immediately list this product as a no-no. See you now, I will be back soon!

UPDATE II (whaaat) : Yeah, I think it's just me always being not hydrated enough. I'm really sorry, I can now claim that this lip balm is not drying! It's just like any other lip balm, I'm using this product again! It is moisturizing and not drying. The only con on this product is that if you often reapply it, the color will probably be too much. That is all!

Whoa this post is such a mess--finals are near, I think I'm on the verge of losing my sanity.

Etude House Drawing Eyebrow AD

Why is there no 'review' in the post title? Because I planned to review it but before I could, it broke. Again.


Before I continue with my review, I would like to say HI HELLO HI HI how did your Valentine's Day go? I hope you all had a good time! I spent mine at my friend's place, we wanted to bake chocolate cheesecake but we were running out of milk. Eventually, we just looked for cute gift box printables and ta-dah!


Looks very nice, right? I was kind of disappointed that we couldn't make the chocolate cheesecake (I really wanted some for myself too! Well, it's cheesecake), but that's fine!

Now, about the product on the title!

The first time I purchased it, it broke because of my own fault, I twisted it the wrong way, so I made another purchase. And this time, I didn't even do anything but when I wanted to use it it just wouldn't budge as if I twisted it wrong again. But noooo, I haven't even done anything, I just removed the cap and twisted it--correctly (I have learned my lesson). No one borrowed my makeup so did it just--break on his own?

That's it, Etude House, I'm never going to buy any of your product again. Sure, Etude House's products are cute, adorable, affordable and all but I have always thought that the quality is so-so.

NOW I DON'T HAVE EYEBROWS.

I mean they are visible but not thick enough.

It's broken and I can't do swatch or anything but I'm going to do a short review anyway.


Etude House Drawing Eyebrow AD comes in six shades; #1 Dark Brown, #2 Grey Brown, 3# Brown, #4 Dark Grey, 5# Grey, and #6 Black. Mine is #5 Gray, because my hair color is black. Pick one shade lighter than your hair color for your eyebrows so it will not appear too harsh on you.


The pencil is replaceable, when you are running out of it you can buy a box of the refill. I can't find any seller that sells the refill box in my area though. The color itself is sheer and buildable, which is good because I don't want to overdo it. I just need my eyebrows to appear thick enough but not really obvious that I draw my eyebrows.


I hate sharpening and this one is an automatic pencil with triangle shape, also comes with a spoolie brush to comb the hair and soften your strokes. The spoolie is a huge help, I can just draw it messily and it will still turn out nice after being combed with the spoolie (I comb my eyebrows before and after), perfect for *cough* us students who often wake up late and do a little bit of makeup in a rush.

Unfortunately, it doesn't last long. Just few hours and it will disappear. This made me consider whether I should switch for other eyebrow pencil (it didn't wait long though, it broke on me).

Price :
Rp 36.000,- (around $3)

Where to buy :
I bought mine from Chic Princessa.

What I dislike :
  • Doesn't last long.
  • Breaks easily.
 What I like :
  • Cheap.
  • Automatic triangle-shaped pencil.
  • Comes with a useful spoolie.
Repurchase? No.

I'm thinking of getting NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder, tell me if you have any (inexpensive) brow kit or bow pencil recommendation!

Baviphat Apple Jelly Lip Scrub Review

Wow, it's already 2014! Thank you for your company on my blog, guys! I really like reading your comments, you guys are super sweet! By now, have you noticed that I used exclamation mark a lot? I don't even know why but, yeah! Exclamation! Mark!

Please bear with me.

Okay. My first post in 2014 is going to be a review for a lip scrub. It deserves a post because it really had saved me during my bad lip days!


Another cute fruit-shaped packaging from Baviphat (I previously wrote a review of Baviphat's Strawberry Mask here), it's like a tinier version of their Apple-In-One Peeling Gel. Who is a sucker for cute packaging? You may raise your hand with me.

It contains 6g of the product and it's really tiny, but since you only use a small amount of the lip scrub, it will probably last forever.

I actually didn't buy this myself, a friend gave it to me. If you are wondering why the gel is yellow-colored (unlike in the stock photo, which is pink), I'm sorry that I have no idea.

You can actually make your own homemade lip scrub, but if you are lazy like me and often have very dry lips, I suggest you to grab a cheap lip scrub. There's no need to buy a 'luxurious lip scrub' because they all basically work the same way, and I bet the ingredients are not that different (wait, does a luxurious lip scrub really exist?).

It's absolutely not the best feeling when you have very dry lips. Lip balm alone can't help your dry, chapped, and flaky lips to recover. Don't even try applying lipstick on your lips when they are very dry, flaky lips are not flattering. Moisten your lips by scrubbing them first, apply lip balm, then finally you can go with your favorite lipstick! Make sure your hands are clean before you dip your finger into the product.

I don't scrub on daily basis--but this really helps when I have super dry lips. It smells and tastes sweet! It's obviously not something for you to eat, but who can resist?

Do note that the smell is a bit strong, some of you may be overwhelmed by it. I'm sensitive to fragrances myself, but this one doesn't bother me. After scrubbing, wipe your lips with water because I'm sure some sugar will stay if you try removing only with a tissue.

Price :
Woahh I'm sorry, I don't know!

Where to buy :
Same answer as above.

What I dislike :
  • Jar-type packaging without spatula provided, might be unhygienic.

What I like :
  • Cute and travel-friendly packaging (you don't want to be rubbing your lips in public though).
  • Moisten my lips.
  • Smells and tastes sweet.


Repurchase? I kind of want to try Lush's Bubble Gum Lip Scrub, but it's not available in my area so I will probably repurchase this! Oh wait, it lasts forever.

Etude House Dear Girls Be Clear Moisturizer SPF 30/PA++ Review

We know that applying toner and moisturizer before going with your BB cream or foundation is very essential. When I first started doing make-up, I didn't own any moisturizer at the moment, so I grabbed this right after Etude House released their Dear Girls line which used only organic ingredients and comes in 5-Free System; paraben, talc, mineral oil, artificial colors, animal ingredients.


Etude House's products always have pretty packaging! Look at those flower and ribbon decorations!


Pump for your hygiene's sake. Contains 50g of the product.


'Ingridients'? What.

So what do they say about this product? (from en.koredepart.com)
Adheres to skin to brighten skin tone without stickiness.
Blocks UV rays to create healthy skin.
5-vitamin extract and 7-organic extract offer full of nutrition to skin.
5 Free System (Paraben, talc, mineral oil, artificial colors, animal ingredients)

It's always good to have some sun protection in your make-up, I was happy finding out this moisturizer has SPF 30 in their formula. And that 5-Free System is just great!

Now, let's see how it works.


Hada Labo's moisturizer comes in transparent white liquid while Etude House's has thick white liquid with refreshing floral scent that stays on skin for minutes.


Blended out.


With flash.

While Hada Labo Ultimate Moisturizing Milk gives clear, watery finish, Etude House Dear Girls Be Clear Moisturizer leaves you with a matte white cast. Note that it doesn't last long, but you need to give some time for it to give you the brightening result you want before you start going with your BB cream or foundation. There was one day where I applied it with BB cream and powder in a rush, the white cast wouldn't tone down even if I waited for minutes. It was horrifying, my face was way far brighter than my neck. I ended up restarting my whole make-up.

I have to tell you that you need to be very careful with this moisturizer, apply it thinly with your fingers! With Hada Labo, I don't need to worry about applying too much moisturizer, let it dry for a while and BB cream time! With this one moisturizer, one full pump is too much. When it's too much, it leaves you a white cast that lasts long and if you go out, being exposed to the sun, IT MELTS.

IT.

MELTS.

No kidding, when I visited my boyfriend he asked, 'what is that white thing on your forehead?' FREAKING EMBARRASSING GRAAAAHHHH

*cough*

Well, if you apply it evenly, thinly, and carefully, you will get the result you want. I really like how it brightens my dull skin without sticky feeling. And it has SPF 30 so no need to apply more sunscreen! I don't get breakouts from this moisturizer too. But having to be careful upon application is too much of inconvenience for me, so I switched to my Hada Labo.

Price?
Rp 76.000,-/around $6.7

Where to buy?
eBay. I purchased mine from Chic Princessa.

What I dislike :
  • One full pump is too much? WHYYY. The pump should have been designed as its own measurer that gives you the perfect amount! Or do I expect too much?
  • White cast that stays forever when applied too much.
  • It melts (again, when applied too much) under the sun.
  • Wtf why so much work to get the result I want. 

    What I like :
    • Refreshing floral fragrance.
    • Cute packaging.
    • Hygienic pump.
    • SPF 30/PA++ for your sun protection.
    • Brightens the skin tone--when applied correctly.

      Repurchase? No.

      Thanks for reading, have a good day!

      It's Skin Macaron Lip Balm in 01 Strawberry Review

      Bon appetit ! Omnomnomnom.


      Okay, no, don't. It's a lip balm, not a real macaron for you to eat, no matter how tempting it looks please don't eat it. Once, my friend and my boyfriend saw this, my friend jokingly told my boyfriend to eat it. He took it, he opened his mouth and I swear I had a light heart attack there. My friend and I gasped when we saw it gone into his mouth as he made gulping sound. Of course he was also joking, he didn't really put it inside, but the lip balm could fit into his mouth! *inhales*

      Onto the review!


      What made me buy this lip balm? The packaging, obviously! *hides*


      It's Skin offers the Macaron Lip Balm in 01 Strawberry, 02 Green Apple, 03 Grape, and 04 Pineapple. It contains 9g of the product. I chose Strawberry because I felt like--smelling strawberry? I don't know, later I regretted for not going with mint-colored green apple instead.


      It's bigger than normal macarons (or maybe it's normal macarons that should be this big, yum). Don't try giving people heart attack by seeing if it could fit into your mouth, okay?

      So far, this is my favorite lip balm. On lips, it feels lighter than my The Body Shop Born Lippy Stick Lip Balm. The strawberry scent is very faint yet so sweet. Remember how I told you that sometimes I can be such a sensitive ass with fragrances? Not even once this lip balm makes me feel sick. It does its job well, it moisturizes your lips, no chapped lips. Nothing outstanding from the lasting power, though, it lasts for 2-3 hours like any other lip balms, then you will need to reapply it.

      Although the packaging is really cute, it has its own disadvantage. It comes in jar without applicator, which makes it possible for it to collect bacteria. There are three ways to apply this kind of lip balm; you can use a lip brush, your clean finger, or just dip your lips into it. I usually use the second or third way myself.

      Still a favorite lip balm of mine!

      Price :
      Rp 65.000,-/around $5.8

      Where to buy?
      eBay. I bought mine from Chic Princessa.

      What I dislike :
      1. Jar type without applicator, collects bacteria easily if not careful.
      What I like :
      1. Sweet, faint strawberry scent. Good for those who can be extremely sensitive with scented lip products.
      2. Very light on lips.
      3. Cute packaging!
      4. Moisturizes the lips, not leaving them dry and chapped.
      Repurchase? Nah, there are still tons of lip balm to try out!

      As for you guys, how do you like lip balms in jar packaging? How do you usually apply it?

      Thanks for reading, have a good day!

      Too Cool For School Milk Tint in Milky Orange Review

      Who is not a sucker for cute packaging? Not me! Who doesn't like milk? Not me! Put them altogether and you have me scratching my monitor!



      Another lip product review. F--forgive me. Seriously, I don't know why but milk-related things in a packaging always look irresistibly cute. The first time I saw this from Cominica's review, I knew I had to grab it.

      By the way, I just recently moved my domain to .net and THE COMMENTS ARE ALL GONE. If you guys commented and I didn't reply, I'm sorry but I lose all of them! Sob.

      Moving on!

      What do they say about this product? Prepare to scroll down for the long image!


      Yep, there are two shades of them.


      Mine is #2 Milky Orange. I tend to avoid pink shade because most of the time I'm afraid they will not suit my warm skin tone.


      Please don't chug it down.


      Shortest lip tint wand I've ever had. Does the color appear more pinkish to you?

      (Actually useless to swatch it on wrist but I couldn't take a photo of me on my own)

      The fact is the color is not very orange, it's more peachy. It makes your lips look livelier, it has hints of lovely orange color but not eye-catchy orange so I don't look like I just ate an orange candy. Last time I used Etude House's Sweet Recipe Candy Stick in Orange I looked like I rubbed something orange all over my lips and it was embarrassing.

      'Once applied, stays lively for a long time.' Yes, it's correct. The lasting power is pretty surprising, it stays even after eating and drinking. It doesn't last all day but obviously it lasts longer than Yves Rocher Gloss!

      'Moist without lipgloss'? It doesn't moisturize your lips all day but it doesn't leave my lips chapped and dry like other lip tint!

      The thing that bothers me is the smell. It smells like it's perfumed, it doesn't smell like something natural (floral or something) and it's quite strong. When I'm being very sensitive, I avoid this lip tint because for the first few minutes after application, the smell stays on lips. It's tolerable but sometimes I can be a sensitive ass. Well, eventually it will bring out the color on your lips and last long!

      Price :
      Rp 72.000,-/around $6 at Chic Princessa. I bought it somewhere for Rp 98.000,-/$8 though.

      Where to buy?
      eBay or somewhere. I forgot where I got mine, this has been around for quite a long time.

      What I dislike :
      1) The scent.

      What I like :
      1) Soft, lovely peachy color.
      2) Lasts long.
      3) Doesn't leave my lips chapped.
      4) JUST LOOK AT THE PACKAGING.

      Baviphat Strawberry Toxifying Mask Review

      Mask sheets are cheap but if you're going to go to use them for daily skin care, you'll still spend a lot! There's this alternative, wash-off masks! Baviphat, launched in 2009, offers various kind of mask and make-up, I would say they're better in the skin care product market, compared to other Korean brands they're much cheaper and good!


      I picked their Strawberry (De)toxifying Mask, one from Baviphat's fruit mask series.


      Yep, there's a lot of them (all in super cute packaging!). Since I want my pores around nose to be less visible, I picked the Strawberry one. I'm thinking of getting Peach some other time.


      There's a plastic divider to avoid getting the product spilled and a tiny spoon that falls off from its holder very easily. I would recommend using your finger or a mask pack brush to apply.


      Generous amount, it has 130g product. Clay-type mask, nice texture, easy to apply. Peach-pink colored and smells very sweet! When I used it, my brother walked into my room, asked whether the mask was to make my face smells like strawberry lol embarrassing moment, getting caught using white clay all over my face.

      Here's what it claims (from sasa.com) :
      Baviphat Strawberry Toxifying Mask A wash-off facial mask packed with vitamin C enriched strawberry extracts help detoxify and tighten pores for a more refined looking complexion. It helps detoxify and tighten the enlarged pores of our skin, Strawberries contain loads of vitamin and it helps the reborn of our skin, curb the formation of any pigments and promote the blood circulation, discharging any undesired dirt in our skin.

      Apparently the mask is suitable for all skin type.

      It's always good to have Vitamin C supplied on our skin because it helps our skin to repair themselves.

      How to use :
      Take appropriate amount out of product, apply it all over the face excepting eyes and mouth. After 20 - 25min, wash off with lukewarm water.

      Use it after your basic skin care--face wash, toner--apply it all over your face with your finger or mask pack brush, then go for a shower! While it's not the hardest mask to remove, it still takes a lot of work to wash them off completely. Do note that it's not a sleeping mask.

      After using for at least four weeks, I don't think I have my pores tightened, they're still annoyingly visible. But I liked (or rather, a bit hype) how smooth my face was after usage, I rubbed my cheek against boyfriend's to get a bit of 'what are you doing?!' and 'wait, yeah, it's so smooth!'

      Where to get?
      eBay, Sasa, Amazon. I purchased mine from Chic Princessa.

      Pros :
      1) Affordable.
      2) Leaves your skin smooth after usage.
      3) Easy to find in stores.
      4) Super cute packaging. Don't throw it away after you have used it all up, use it as a box for your accessories.
      5) Has a generous amount of product.
      6) Smells delici--very good.

      Cons :
      1) I just don't get the result I want.

      Repurchase? No, I'm going to try other masks!

      Four reviews and all 'no'? I must be joking.

      Anyway, if you're going for good daily mask, you could pick this one! It doesn't really work on me (probably because of my combination skin type that requires more effort to take care of), but some people have claimed that it worked awesome on them!

      Etude House Surprise Essence Concealer (New Packaging) in Natural Beige Review

      Dark circles, acne, blemishes, uneven skin color. There's this first aid magic called concealer to cover them! When my friend first introduced me to a concealer, I was very surprised by the result and decided to get one. It's my first concealer!


      I have mine in renewed packaging.


      The old packaging. Here's the new one.


      Yep, it's cuter and they changed the shape of the wand applicator. Both come in two shades, Light Beige and Natural Beige. I have mentioned in the title that I got mine in Natural Beige, I'll just tell you once more in case you're that one super lazy reader.


      The old one has the applicator like lip tint wands, this one has it more rounded, makes it easier for you to apply the product on your face in few little dots. But what's more important is the coverage power, so let's see how it works!


      I drew a bear with Etude House's LUCIDarling Fantastic Brush Eyeliner which I won't review because you won't be able to find it anywhere, it had been discontinued.


      I might have put them a bit too much. Good creamy texture. Creamier than before it's renewed, said a friend who has hers in old packaging and tried mine.


      After blended. I normally use my ring finger to pat and blend out concealers because it's the most delicate finger (after your pinky, obviously). When you're covering your dark circles area with your finger, use your ring finger. Do note that the skin around your eyes are the thinnest!

      Anyway, see how it covers the bear BUT reveals some wrinkles?

      I would like to say that it has great coverage, it covers my dark circles and blemishes well, the color also suits my skin tone.

      But here's what you need to know.

      The other day, I applied some on, walked few minutes to nearby photo printing center to get ID photos for my student visa, went to check it on a mirror and the blemishes were back. I reapplied it, only to be surprised at how it made my pores look bigger and ugly. There was also this day where I was satisfied with how it covered my skin's imperfection, went to nearby mall and it wasn't there anymore. My skin wasn't even oily and I was in air-conditioned room. It can't last more than 25-30 minutes!

      I was going to end this post but let me show you some photos of how it works on brighter skin tone.


      Friend's bare hand.


      She has no acne on her face (she said she had but it wasn't even showing, whatever I'm jealous) so we tried covering the veins instead.


      Nice but take closer look and notice how it appears a bit yellowish on her skin. Not very noticeable but you might be bothered with it if you want perfect result.

      Now, to end the post.

      Where to get :
      Most online shops have one. Bought mine from Chic Princessa.

      Pros :
      1) Good coverage.
      2) Suitable color for most skin tone.
      3) Cheap.
      4) Great applicator.
      5) Practical packaging, good to travel with.
      6) Nice creamy texture.

      Cons :
      1) Will you last for at least more than an hour?!
      2) Tube and wand packaging, makes it not possible to use up all the product. You can't reach the remaining product at the very bottom of the tube.
      3) Application can't be layered, your pores would look bigger instead of getting better coverage.

      Repurchase? No.

      Etude House I Can Fly Cherry Lip Gel Patch Review

      Yes, a mask for our lips! When I stumbled upon this product, I was thinking if it would be a good lip care product for my dry lips. My lips are usually very dry, lip balm is always a must. Not to mention the uneven color, my upper lip is darker. So I decided to grab a pack of this 'lip mask'!


      Simple, cute packaging. I like the shape of this one mask better than The Face Shop's Bebe Lip Mask, because this will cover your lips evenly--or a bit too much, maybe. It might be designed for all lip types, but please, Hulk won't use a lip mask.


      The back side. It has a cute picture of how you would look like with the patch on. A delusion, move on.

      Apparently they have a special edition version.


      What makes it different from the normal one? It has an owl! With its own story!

      Story of Eagle Owl:
      Hi! I'm Eagle Owl, the bright night bird! I am in danger of extinction, because hunting has become so difficult in bright city lights. Please help me to fly freely again!

      Ok I fail to comprehend the main purpose of the special edition one. You may tell me if you know.

      Anyway, here is what they claim about the product :
      Cherry flavor added with rich moisture
      Evens out the redness in lips creating a smooth and neutral surface
      Smooth and cooling gel type lip patch

      Directions for Use :
      1. After cleansing, even out the skin texture, take the patch out and place it on the lip
      2. Remove the patch in 10-15 minutes and pat gently to let the remaining essence absorb
      * When taking the patch out, avoid taking it out from the edges

      Cherry Lip Gel Patch is a lip shaped hydro gel patch formulated with vitalizing Cherry Extract.  It is designed to hydrate, repair and soothe, for soft, supple and smooth lips.

      Now, I want kissable lips!


      It's a fluffy, juicy jelly with sweet cherry scent. Do not eat or try to taste it. I know how tempting it is, but please. It tastes bitter, anyway.

      Be careful when taking out the patch, your nails could rip it. I turned it around and pushed it out from the plastic. Treat it gently like a delicate jelly you're going to eat.

      I used it while lying on bed, enjoying the pleasant scent. There was not any cooling effect like what the product have mentioned, though. For hygiene's sake, do not use it more than once, throw it away after you've had enough smelling the scent.

      Verdict!
      It made my lips very soft and it even left a faint scent of cherry, but after few minutes and eat or drink, the effect will be gone, your kissable lips are not there anymore muahahaha leaving you with your usual ugly lips!! Bye bye few minutes of lips of your dream! I don't recommend this for your daily lipcare product but keep one if you want for--'emergency lip treatment'. It's not expensive but so-so. Like face mask sheets, they are cheap but will cost much when you go for daily use.

      Where to get :
      Most online beauty shops have it. I got mine from Chic Princessa.

      Pros :
      • Smells super nice.
      • Brings out the redness of your lips--a bit.
      • Makes your lips very smooth.

      Cons :
      • Effect doesn't last long.
      • Wtf dramatic size.

      Repurchase? No.
