Review: Peripera Ink Matte Blur Tint #10 True Brick Red

Hi guys! I'm actually really excited for today's review, because it's been a long time since I bought other lip products. Today's review is going to be a product from Peripera. It's the Peripera Ink Matte Blur Tint in number 10 True Red Brick.

I got the darkest color from the bunch to test out my skin tone first. Here is the picture of the actual product.

It comes in a triangular plastic packaging. I think the packaging is really cute yet very straightforward, something that I haven't seen in a while.

I do notice that the plastic packaging is really hard and suddenly just got reminded of my zero waste campus life and felt bad for throwing away the secondary packaging. Haha.

There's also a lot of information at the back of the packaging, some written in Korean, some written in English. The list of ingredients can't be found, though.

The actual product is really cute. It comes in a matte tube and see-through packaging, making the actual product color speak for itself.

The applicator is a doe foot applicator, which is suitable for this creamy type of lip product. Another thing to notice is the rubber stopper. I really like the rubber stopper of this product.

It may be hard to take out the applicator as the rubber stopper is really tight, but it makes product distributed more evenly.

Since the applicator is flat, the rubber stopper makes sure that the product is only distributed at the centre of the doe foot applicator, with none on the sides. I found this really convenient, as we don't need to wipe off excess product on the rim of the tube.

And one more thing - this product smells like chocolate!

Here is the swatch of the product. I find this product to be really buildable. The swatch on my hand is only a few swipes.

The product itself glides on really smoothly, and 'blurs' out prettily, without any patchy-ness. The color itself is a dark warm brown orange color, that is really pretty. It builds up to a dark red orange color as we apply more layers.

For the lasting power, unfortunately it doesn't last that long. This is like a lip cream that blurs out the fine lines on my lips. It doesn't really stain the lips and you would have to reapply after eating. It does feel thick and like you're wearing something on the lips.

Here is the swatch on my lips. The left picture is my original lip color, which is purple and pale. I put on some concealer on the outlines of my lips.

The middle picture is with minimum layers, just enough to cover the uneven color of my lips. Applied thinly, it gives a fresh red orange color on the lips.

Applied thickly, it gives a dark red orange color that pops out my complexion.

Here are full face pictures of me with the product on.

Okay, so here are the cons and pros of the product

Pros

• pretty colour!
• really pigmented
• good for gradient lips and mixed with other colours
• yummy chocolate scent (some people may dislike)
• cute but straightforward packaging
• great rubber stopper and applicator

Cons

• doesn't really last that long (can just reapply though)

Overall: 4/5. 

Will I repurchase? Yes! I can overlook the fact that this product doesn't last that long on the lips. I really like this product and am looking forward to try out more colours from this line.

Thanks for reading my review! Let me know what you guys think of this product and I really hope to see more colours on other skin tones, you can easily link your post in the comments down below and I would love to visit your page!

Good luck and see you guys on next posts!

Review : Etude House Color Lips Fit in OR201 Dream Fit Coral

Hi guys! Today I have a lipstick review for you guys. It is the Etude House Color Lips Fit in number OR201 Dream Fit Coral.

Here is the colour selection of the entire line.

Onto the actual product. It is in a typical lip tint clear tube, where you can see the colour exactly. I got this as a gift, and I personally liked this colour on the tube.

Et

The tube is in a twist cap style and I find it travel-friendly because it doesn't leak out products and the twist cap feels really secure. The doe foot applicator is really nice as well.

The swatch of the product is quite nice. The formula isn't patchy. My first impression was that the neon colour might not suit me because I have darker skin tone than most of Korean girls.
This product applies as a liquid at first, then after a few minutes, it will begin to set into a matte formula, just like how a regular liquid-to-matte lipstick would.

The first thing that I notice upon application was the scent. It has a strong sweet soda scent that lingers for quite a while, but it disappears as the product dries down. For those of you who doesn't like strong scents, you might resent this product quite a bit. But for me, I personally don't mind the scent because it smells nice to me and it disappears eventually.

My original lip colour is dark to begin with, and I have tried to cover up my lips with concealer first, but that only made the neon colour stand out even more. So, in the swatch above, I don't have any concealer underneath.

The matte formula didn't really dry out my lips. If it weren't for the colour, I would have tested the product out for a few hours. I really don't like the colour of the lipstick on my lips, because it doesn't suit me in any way even though I have tried to make it work. The colour was quite patchy on my upper lip, maybe because of my original lip colour.
So, if you are someone who has uneven lip colour, you might want to apply concealer first.

As for the formula, I actually really like it. After I remove the lipstick, it doesn't dry out my lips.

In conclusion, I would like to give this product a chance if it weren't for the colour. I don't think it suits me, but it would look pretty on girls with paler skin tone.


So, here are the pros and cons of the product

Pros

• doesn't dry out my lips
• formula changes into a long-lasting matte formula
• smells really nice (like sweet soda)

Cons

• the colour doesn't suit me AT ALL
• people with darker skin tones than me and people who don't like strong scents might dislike ths product

Rate : 2/5

Seriously, I would really enjoy this lipstick if it weren't for the colour. I can't wear this anywhere and I can't make this colour work in any way possible.

Will I repurchase?

I would like to try other colours, but for now, this product doesn't really intrigues me that much.

Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk Chiffon in BE110

A girl can never have enough lipstick.

Hi guys! Today, I have a lipstick review from a well-known Korean brand Etude House. It is from their chiffon lisptick line, which is popular in Korea because of its in-between finish, which is right in the middle of matte and glossy. It retails for about KRW 9,000 and I bought it for IDR 95,000 from an online store.

This was the product that Lily Maymac endorsed for when she was in Korea. I really liked the shade that she was wearing, but I settled for the darker one because I was afraid that the shade wouldn't suit me, but now that I have bought the darker one, I would like to try out the shade that Lily Maymac was wearing as well!

Here is how the packaging looks like.

I got mine in the shade BE110 "Waiting Chiffon Beige", which is quite a weird name for a lipstick, but I think it has something to do with the rhymes of Korean letters which sound like 'shipeun' and the word 'chiffon'.

I've read in many reviews that on the cap of the lipstick, they actually attached real mirror to help us with application on the go. And honestly, I could care less about the mirror thing. I think it's too small to see through that small mirror, and I think that if they were going to attach a mirror to help us on the go, they might have as well put a nice size, like how the Kailijumei lipstick did.

Other than the small mirror, I don't have any other complaint about the packaging. It has cute lego-like appearance, and pink plastic packaging like how Etude House usually does their packaging, but this time the princess-y theme is much more settled, which may be a pro for girls who don't like cute packaging. I really like this type of packaging though.

Although the caps are made of plastic, it is still sturdy, it has click sounds when opening and closing the cap, which ensures that the cap won't fall off out of nowhere in your bag.

Swatches

First thought of the colour, it looks really pretty! It looks like a pinkish dusty rose. It is the colour that I would go for on a daily basis, because it looks natural and it doesn't look like I'm using anything when applied a little. My lips just doesn't look pale and I'm good with that.

Here are the swatches of the product on my lips. I think this shade really suits my skin tone so well! I really love this type of colour. I feel like the sharp edge of the lipstick makes it really easy to reach the cupid's bow.

As for the longevity, because it is a semi-matte lipstick, I find it lasting long enough for a lipstick. Without drinking or eating, it could last for about 2-3 hours without reapplying. But if you constantly drink with this lipstick on, it can fade on the inner part of the lips in about an hour.

It still transfers like a lipstick does, but not as easily as glossy lipstick does. I could solve it by reapplying and I don't mind at all.

It can dry out your lips if you don't prep before. Since this is a semi-matte lipstick, that is expected to come because of the finish. But it doesn't dry out the lips like a liquid-to-matte lipstick does.

So, here are the pros and cons of the product.

Pros

• cute and sturdy packaging
• affordable price for such a high quality lipstick! (KRW 9,000)
• really beautiful shade! (BE110)
• semi-matte finish (which is something I prefer over the glossy lipsticks)
• long-lasting

Cons

• can dry out the lips because of the semi-matte finish
• I find the mirror size quite impractical (although you can make it work)

Rate : 4.5/5

Will I repurchase? Of course! I would like to try the other colours as well!

Overall, I really like this lipstick for its colour and finish, and I would like to try other colours as well!

Review: Purbasari Matte Lipsticks no. 81, 83, 86

Hi guys! I have a lipstick review for you guys. It is a from a local brand called Purbasari. These matte lipsticks have been out for a while, but just got popular as the trend of matte lipsticks rise. They retail for about IDR 28.000-40.000 in online shops.

Halo semuanya! Aku punya review lipstick untuk kalian. Ini dari brand lokal yang bernama Purbasari. Lipstick matte ini sudah ada cukup lama, tapi jadi populer seiring dengan tren matte lipstick mulai bermunculan. Harganya berkisar antara IDR 28.000-40.000 di online shop.

The writing on the back of the packaging :

"INOVASI TERBARU DENGAN PELEMBAB"

Tahan lama dan tidak mengkilap

Terasa ringan pada bibir Anda

Melembabkan bibir

Warna tidak pudar sehingga penampilan Anda akan tetap segar

Translation:

"NEWEST INNOVATION WITH MOISTURIZER"

Long-lasting and non-shiny

Feels lightweight on your lips

Moisturizes the lips

Colour doesn't fade so that your appearance will stay fresh

Packaging

These lipsticks have an elegant look to it. The colour black and gold really suit each other well and it looks like a high-end lipstick from afar. It has a click sound when opening or closing the product. However, when you hold the product itself, it does feel like plastic and seems really fragile. So, you should avoid dropping it.

Lipstick ini punya penampilan yang elegan. Warna hitam dan emasnya sangat cocok dan terlihat seperti lipstick mahal dari jauh. Lipstick ini punya suara klik saat membuka dan menutup produknya. Akan tetapi, ketika kita memegang produknya sendiri, lipsticknya terasa seperti plastik dan sepertinya sangat rapuh. Jadi, kamu harus hindari menjatuhkannya.

Swatches

When swatched on my hand, they glided on my hand smoothly. However, I noticed that #86 was much more creamier than the other two and thus they were easier to apply.

Saat dioleskan di tanganku, lipstick-lipsticknya teroles dengan halus. Akan tetapi, aku menyadari bahwa #86 lebih creamy daripada dua lipstick yang lain dan oleh karena itu lebih gampang untuk diaplikasikan.

#81 Diamond

This is a really pretty everyday nude shade, with hint of grey in it. I find that this lipstick really suits my skin tone very well. This looks really natural on my lips.

Warna ini sangat cantik untuk setiap hari, dengan hint warna abu-abu. Aku menyadari bahwa warna yang ini sangat cocok dengan warna kulitku. Terlihat sangat natural di bibir.

#83 Piruz

This is also a colour with a greyish hint to it. It is a brownish mauve colour. It also suits my skin tone really well.

Warna ini juga punya sedikit hint abu-abu. Warnanya mauve kecoklatan, yang juga sangat cocok di warna kulitku.

#86 Topaz

I feel like this colour is the most unique colour I've ever seen on a lipstick. It is a brick red colour that also looks brownish in some lightings.

I really like to apply a little bit on the center on the lips and then blend it out with my fingers. It gives such a natural tint on my lips as it suits my skin tone really well as well as the other 2 colours above.

Aku merasa warna yang ini adalah warna terunik yang pernah aku lihat di lipstick. Warnanya merah bata yang juga terlihat coklat di beberapa pencahayaan.

Aku juga suka memakai lipstick ini sedikit di tengah bibir dan setelah itu aku baur dengan jariku. Hal ini memberikan warna natural yang sangat cantik di bibirku karena warna ini juga sangat cocok dengan warna kulitku, sama seperti 2 warna lain di atas.

Product

The product itself is really really amazing. It is moisturizing, feels lightweight on the lips and the colours are really pretty, too. The lasting power is also amazing, as it lasted well as long as you don't eat or drink.

I also noticed that the longer you wear the product, the longer you don't feel it on the lips. I sometimes forget that I'm wearing the lipstick.

The downside is that it does transfer on the first 2 hours upon application. After that, it doesn't transfer as much.

Produknya sendiri sangat sangat bagus. Lipsticknya melembabkan, terasa ringan di bibir dan warna-warnanya juga sangat bagus. Ketahanannya juga bagus, karena lipstick ini tahan di bibirku selama aku tidak makan atau minum.

Aku juga menyadari bahwa semakin lama aku memakai produknya, semakin lipsticknya tidak terasa ada di bibir. Aku kadang lupa bahwa aku sedang memakai lipstick.

Kelemahannya adalah lipsticknya transfer di 2 jam pertama setelah pemakaian. Setelah itu, lipsticknya tidak transfer terlalu banyak.

I know that this product was hit by news saying that it contained mercury. It started from a beauty blogger who tested the product with gold. Initially, products that don't contain mercury should be fine and not turn black when rubbed with gold. If it turns black, that means that the product contains mercury.

Purbasari official instagram account responded to this and demonstrated their test on their products with real gold, along with its sertificate and it didn't turn black. Later on the caption, they explained that the reaction is caused by silver that is in impure gold.

So, problem solved.

Aku tahu bahwa produk ini sempat dihujam dengan berita bahwa produknya mengandung merkuri. Semuanya berawal dari seorang beauty blogger yang mengetes produknya dengan emas. Jadi, produk yang tidak mengandung merkuri harusnya tidak apa-apa dan tidak berubah menjadi hitam ketika diusap dengan emas. Jika berubah hitam, itu berarti produknya mengandung merkuri.

Akun instagram official Purbasari merespon berita ini dan mendemonstrasikan tes mereka pada produk mereka dengan logam mulia, dengan sertifikat emasnya, dan produknya tidak berubah hitam. Pada captionnya, mereka menjelaskan bahwa reaksi tersebut dikarenakan ada silver pada emas yang tidak murni.

Jadi, masalah selesai.

Review: Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lip (Bianca, Bumble, Tulle)

Hi guys! Today I have a liquid lip review from Colourpop. I'm sure that a lot of you are familiar with this US brand.

This is the packaging that the product comes with.

I like that it has the ingredients list on the box. The ingredients list is also listed on the website. In case you can't read the list from the picture:

INGREDIENTS

ISODODECANE, NYLON-12,DIISOPROPYL DIMER DILINOLEATE, TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE, SYNTHETIC FLUORPHLOGOPITE, ALUMINUM CALCIUM SODIUM SILICATE, CALCIUM SODIUM BOROSILICATE, CALCIUM ALUMINUM BOROSILICATE, SODIUM POTASSIUM ALUMINUM SILICATE, SILICA, POLYPROPYLSILSESQUIOXANE, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE, ALUMINA, TIN OXIDE, PROPYLENE CARBONATE, HYDROGENATED POLYISOBUTENE, PALMITIC ACID.

+/- MICA (CI 77019), TITANIUM DIOXIDE (CI 77891), BLUE 1 LAKE (CI 42090), RED 7 LAKE (CI 15850), RED 7 (CI 15850), RED 30 LAKE (CI 73360), IRON OXIDES (CI 77491), IRON OXIDES (CI 77492), IRON OXIDES (CI 77499), RED 6 (CI 15850), RED 28 LAKE (CI 45410), RED 28 (CI 45410), RED 27 LAKE (CI 45410), RED 21 (CI 45380), RED 21 LAKE (CI 45380), MANGANESE VIOLET (CI 77742), YELLOW 10 LAKE (CI 47005), YELLOW 5 LAKE (CI 19140), YELLOW 6 LAKE (CI 15985), BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE (CI 77163), BRONZE POWDER (CI 77400), COPPER POWDER (CI 77400), RED 33 (CI 17200), CARMINE (CI 75470), RED 40 LAKE (CI 16035), RED 36 (CI 12085), ORANGE 5 (CI 45370), RED 6 LAKE (CI 15850), RED 22 (CI 45380).

The shade of the product is stuck at one of the end of the box. Every product comes with the same box packaging, with different stickers that indicates the name of the shade.

This product is said to have been reformulated since their initial release. During the first release, many people complained about the formulation of the product. Fortunately, as they come out with more shades, they reformulated the ultra matte lip and has been less drying and more comfortable.

I purchased this product with the newer formulation.

The shades that I bought are: Bianca, Bumble, Tulle.

from left to right: Tulle, Bianca, Bumble

Comparing the tube side by side, Tulle and Bumble seem similar, but when applied on the lips, they look really different as you will see in the swatches later.

This product has a regular sized doe foot applicator, which I really like. It is stiff and that may bother some people because of different types of lips, but I still find it easy to work with.

Bianca

On the website: Soft mauve pink

The first shade is the lightest shade that I bought. I find this colour really pretty when I looked for swatches from the internet.

Unfortunately, I find this colour to be too light for my skin tone, although I can find a way to be able to use this.

This shade dries out my lips quite a bit, and it accentuates the dry parts and lines of my lips and I do not find that flattering. In real life, it makes me look sick.

I was debating to buy Beeper, Midi or this shade, and got my choice on Bianca, and I hate to say that I'm quite disappointed with this colour, but was quite thankful that I chose Bianca over Midi. )Midi is much more lighter that Bianca)

Bumble

On the website: Dusty Warm Terracotta

The next shade is the shade that I tried from my friend, that made me want to buy this. It looks really pretty.

I don't have anything bad to say about this colour. It doesn't accentuate the lines of my lips as much as Bianca did.

Tulle

This colour was the colour that I first bought, before deciding to purchase more from this line. I did not own any dark lipstick before this and I was really glad to have bought this.

It doesn't dry out my lips as much and doesn't accentuate the dry parts of my lips, mostly because this is a dark shade.

It does look really different from the tube and on the swatch.

Overall formula

Matte liquid lipsticks are supposed to be really long lasting, but at the same time really drying. I do not find my products drying at all, especially Tulle. It doesn't wear off after eating, but you do have to be careful because it can slide here and there when in contact with oil.

Overall, it's a really long lasting liquid lipstick, quite comfortable and doesn't dry out my lips as much.

The application is really easy. The product dries really fast, in seconds. However, I find that going back and forth during application did make the product crumble a little bit. So, you do have to be careful with that.

This product doesn't have any scent, which I really really appreciate. I don't like scents in my makeup, especially scents that lingers throughout the day.

So, here are the pros and cons of the product:

Pros

• really long lasting
• does not dry out my lips as much
• does not smell like anything
• applies really easily

Cons

• can crumble

Rate: 4/5

I really like it, but I subtracted one point because it can crumble on me.

Will I repurchase? Of course! I would like to try darker colours, because apparently colours any brighter than Bianca would look ugly on me.

Hope this review helps! See you on the next reviews!
