Innisfree Treatment Lip Tint, Review

Color: Orange, #2

Available in 2 shades
Contains 5ml
Price: SGD15 (price from Qoo, new product not available in Singapore yet)
Made in Korea


This is a tinted lip oil that feels very moisturizing on the lips.  The color I purchased is No. 2, Orange.  The color is very sheer and on my pigmented lips, the color doesn't really show, just a very light tint.  On pale lips, this would show more although it will only give a sheer tint.

It is lightly scented, smells fruity and extremely nice.  I love fruity scents and this made me happy everytime i use it.

I use it over lipsticks or on its own. I love how it feels on its own and uses it as a lip moisturizer (ie. lip butter). It lasts a few hours on its own, the lip oil feels thick but not sticky.  It feels very comfortable on my lips.

The doe-foot applicator is bigger than I expected. For me, 1 application is sufficient to get the right amount on my lips (I have full lips and liked the feeling of a thick layer). However, the product gets 'sieved' at the opening of the container and the lip oil is collected at the tip of the applicator only. When i started using this lip oil, I needed 2-3 applications because i only use the flat side of the doe-foot applicator.  To use it correctly, you have to apply the lip oil from the tip, then spread it with the flat side of the doe-foot applicator.   On a side note, the doe-foot applicator feels alittle hard though not a big issue.

While photographing this, I left the opened container laying horizontal on the table and the product seeped out. This should not be an issue for most users though. 

PRO
  • feels very moisturizing and comfortable
  • very pretty coral, orangey shade.  With a few reapplications, color becomes more noticeable
  • very nice light scent

CON
  • ultra sheer pigmentation, but with a few reapplications, becomes more noticeable
  • no SPF
  • doe-foot applicator feels alittle hard
  • liptint seeps out if left opened and laying horizonally like in the picture above

No. 1 Cherry,  No. 2 Orange

CONCLUSION:

I enjoyed using this product, it is a very nice lip moisturizer, but don't be fooled by the packaging, color payoff is extremely sheer. But with a few reapplications, the color becomes noticable.
