Lip Tints 101: Review/Swatch of PeriPera Peri's Tint No. 5 Strawberry Juice

MY FIRST EVER REVIEW~ YAY!

Hey sisters,

I've decided that my first review shall be regarding: LIP TINTS! If you don't know what lip tints are: they are basically lip products that tint your lips and leave a colour on your lips. The thing that is so special is that they tint your lips such that you don't necessarily need to reapply your lip product after eating/long hours; just like markers. They stain papers!

Lip tints can come in many forms: water tints, gloss tints, lipstick tints, lip balm tints, marker-type tints etc. and I'm sure that there are many more out there on the market! Korean cosmetic brands have the BEST and CHEAPEST lip tints on the market, it's impossible to miss out when you visit these stores! When I first learnt about these I purged the internet for reviews but there weren't many, so I shall bring these tints into the light!

The lip tint I'll be reviewing today is... PERIPERA's PERI's TINT in no.5 Strawberry Juice!

Just look at how ADORABLE the packaging is! 8)


Now, the packaging is a plastic twist off cap and a glass bottom holds the lip tint!
It is pretty big in diameter (about 2cm) and the whole bottle is about 24cm!

It has a doe-foot applicator but there's no stopper on the glass bottle opening
so if it's not twisted properly it may leak!

Now your impression of this is that it's super hot pink and a huge
nono for natural looks (what I'm after haha) but just you wait and see!

Consistency: Very watery. As this is a water tint, it's runny, just like water.
It looks scarily pigmented but... (scroll down)

As you blend it out, it fades into a softer, rosier type of colour  as shown
on my hand! Now here's the real deal: 


My lips are quite pigmented themselves so once I applied this
FULL LIP, it turned out to be a burning hot pink.

Usually, these types of highly pigmented tints are meant to be used  for gradation purposes (where the colour is concentrated inside of the lip rather than the whole lip). As such, the tint used on the entire lip looks very vibrant! If you can't picture that, don't worry as I shall be getting into a 'Gradation Lip Tutorial' soon!

RATING OF PRODUCT AND SHADE

   Packaging: 3/5 - The doe-foot applicator makes it easy to apply but it can be bulky and inconvenient to carry around.
                                  The fact that the lip tint is in a glass bottle means it's fragile and could easily break/tilt over. (and you                         know what happens next...)

Pigmentation & Shade: 4/5 - The pigmentation is great and it stains my lips really well, just like how it was shown on the website. The shade is one of the most natural shades amongst the other shades. I would use this lip tint more for graduation purposes though. A little does go a long way. It does brighten my complexion really well on the morning when I'm looking a little pale! It's even good enough to use as a blush as it stains your cheeks really naturally!

Longevity: 4/5 - AMAZING longevity! I didn't have to retouch up for up to 6+ hours! However I noticed when I
eat oily foods it comes off in small patches as oil 'dissolves' makeup. It's only noticeable to me though!




CONS:  *Be sure to wear lip balm before or after as your lips could get dry!*
*It dries really fast so you have to blend the product really fast!

OVERALL: 4/5
Being a person who likes to keep a natural look, this tint is the 'point' of my makeup look and focus! It gives my face it's colour and I feel really good as I don't feel like I'm wearing anything! Awesome for the hot and humid weather in Singapore - runny lip glosses aren't the best! :( 

This tint is raved my so many people and since this is their new Peri Tint's line, no one has really done a review on this shade! Hope that was good enough coverage for a review like this! I shall return soon with another review soon! For now, TOODLES~
