Peripera Ink Airy Velvet review

Available in 5 shades
Contains 8gm / 0.28oz
Price: SGD12 (price from Qoo)
Made in Korea

I've always wanted to try Peripera's lip tint after seeing it on social media so much. Then i saw Edward Avila's lip swatch videos on their new velvet range and i decided to get one to try.  Peripera lip tints are very popular in Korea and they have come up with quite a few different ranges, ie. tint water, ink moist, ink velvet and the newest variation is ink airy velvet.

Pigmentation
Peripera's lip tints are very pigmented. The colors are very bright and pretty. 

Texture
Texture of this range feels mouse-y and applies easily and smooth. The doe-foot applicator is decent and works well.  

Finish
It gives like a soft matte finish that is very pretty. It is much better than NYX's soft matte lip cream, which i can't wear at all because it dries to be completely matte and parch looking, even with lipbalm underneath.  NYX looks really dry in a bad and weird, terrible way on me.

Lasting power
It stains the lips for a few hours. With my normal eating and drinking habits, it wears off eventually. 

Packaging
The packaging feels sturdy, i have no complains.  It doesn't look pretty due to the price point of this product.

Smell
It has an old lady, rose scent thats alittle off putting. Its not very strong but i can smell it for around 5 minutes after application initially.  But after some time of using it, it doesn't bother me anymore.

Overall, i like this product and would recommend it. I like to wear it as a stain (deliberately dabbing most of it off so that it is left with a light tint of color) instead of the full on bright color.  You can also wear it with a gradient effect.  It looks pretty all three ways.  

I have very dry lips and this product may dry a tiny bit, Alot of times, if it wear it by itself, without a lipbalm underneath, my lips will chap during the day.  But my lips tend to chap even when i'm not using this product. 

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.
