The long-lasting tint is true.
It has fruity-like scent which is not irritating.
Its applicator is easy to control when lining lips.
Doesn’t smudge.
Dislikes
The paint of its bottle peels off and its cap gets loose.
a little expensive
It leaks when placed upside down or even horizontally. So I just leave this at home.

Look at that mess and waste! 😦
I’m not quite sure if it’s because of the weather but it doesn’t fully moisturize my lips. Applying a lip balm is still needed.
Verdict
Let me show you first how it looks like when applied on an ordinary person in real life. LOL 😀

Color: 02. Cartoon Coral Taken in Korea 3 months ago (summer season). Applied with a lip balm.
If not for its leaking problem, I’d definitely stick to this. However, if it’s on sale and really cheap, I’ll willingly buy it again and try the other colors. 😀 😀
Are korean products paraben free? 🙂
