Somebody asked me why I keep on buying lip products, even
though I already have tons. Call me obsess, but each time I am seeing a new
shade of lipstick or even a lip tint, I just have this feeling that I should
buy that product. Then I will realize that there is this lipstick/lip tint that
I have with a very similar shade to my newly bought one. However, they may have
the same shade, but they have different finish. Just like this Missha The Style
Velvet Gradation Tint in Sangria wine that has the same color with my Etude
House Rosy Tint Lips #8 After Blossom.
Missha The Style Velvet Gradation Tint. I pre-ordered it
from Bae Lu last month and bought two out of five shades. It is one of the
newest collections of Missha. Last month, Missha was having their early bird
sale for these tints so I got these with 30% off. Lucky!
I have two shades of Missha The
Style Velvet Gradation Tint in Sangria wine & Fairy Coral. After
reading some reviews on Naver, I instantly have the feeling; besides, I’m in
the middle of search-for-the-best-pink-purple-ish-lipstick at the moment.
Unlike the EH’s Rosy Tint Lips, Missha
covered the lacking of EH’s by making it easy to pull out the product from its
house. All you have to do is rotate the lower part of the stick for the tint to
come out. That’s where it gets interesting because Missha, once again, gained
another plus point by putting seven (7) holes on the cushion applicator of the
tint that will look like a flower when the tint comes out. And it sure is
pretty awesome!
Another thing that will surely
impress you is how pigmented this tints are.
Sangria Wine is a perfect red wine color with pink undertone.
Fairy Coral is a subtle version of orange.
I prefer using Missha The Style Velvet Gradation Tint with a lip brush instead of its own
applicator though. It’s actually a bit tricky. If you will use the applicator
of this tint, you won’t get much pigment when you applied it to your lips. On
the other hand, if you will use a lip brush, you will definitely,
unquestionably, and undeniably full lip color! I almost got disappointed when I
first used it then tried it applying using a brush then viola~ it’s beyond
perfect. Especially Sangria Wine.
The finish is matte nevertheless it takes a couple of
minutes to be fully dried on your lips to become matted. We all know that matte
lipsticks/tints tend to stay much longer than moist finish ones, and so do Missha
The Style Velvet Gradation Tint.
Eat, drink, talk all day and Missha The Style Velvet Gradation Tint will stay; not as vibrant as
you put it on but there’s still a tint left that could last a whole day
although it transfers. I don’t think there is any unpleasant scent either.
As much as I wanted to give these tints a perfect score, I
couldn’t. It’s very drying to the lips and accentuates the dry areas. Which is
given with every matte finish lipsticks and this one is no exception to that.
