/VERDICT/
I want to start off with the labels. Although they are not waterproof, i like the elegant lady design and how the font matched with it. It has all the necessary details such as Brand Name, Product Name, Shade Name, Ingredients and even Precautions. Regarding its container, if i'm not mistaken, it's a 5ml glass bottle with silver / gold reflective caps. It's very handy and lightweight as compared to other glass containers. The only thing that i have concern with is that the mouth of the container and the roller doesn't seem to be fit with each other or not really compatible because the roller keep sliding off the bottle. Even had one incident that it popped like a champagne cork but it didn't hit me. So it's still okay. They smell like cherries. Unlike other lip and cheek stains or tints that has very similar scents, this one is somehow different from them all. It wasn't mild but it also wasn't too strong, so it didn't really bother me. And it didn't trigger any sniffles either so it's alright!
Application issues is actually related to what i've said regarding the roller - container situation, no matter how hard i tried to press it down and continue to glide or roll it onto my skin and lips, it doesn't seem to transfer pigment and since i don't like wasting products, instead of forcing the roller ball, i just removed it and took a cotton bud or tilted the bottle onto my finger to be able to get some of the color but it's highly pigmented so it didn't need much as a little goes a long way. Even after all the inconveniences, they are still comfortable and light on the lips / cheeks which is what i would definitely go for stains! And it didn't dry my lips nor made me feel any stinging after using it on my lips. Also, it didn't cause my skin to have breakouts after using it on my cheeks and either way, these are very comfy!
The formula of these is good. The finish is nice and the color payoff on the lips is almost even which is already good as most lip and cheek stains settles on the inner lip. It looks very fresh and natural on the skin / lips but it's buildable and can be blended easily without getting erased. They are also long wearing and lasts for about 6 hours on an average since i tried one shade a day to really test them. Usually i apply them around 10am and they will start fading around 4pm which is after a heavy lunch (because i normally don't eat breakfast) and snacks. Even on the cheeks they can stay for about the same but of course i'm not sure if that's still the case once i use it outside where i'll be sweating. But nonetheless, it's still long lasting.
They have a total of 6 shades but these 4 shades that they sent me, my favorites are Tiana and Merida because they suit me the most, though all of them are wearable. I'm not sure how much these 5ml stains costs but they have 10ml in size and i think it's P100 / $2 each. After all the struggles, i still think that these tints are worth trying. They have a nice shade range and very affordable. And i guess that the 10ml won't have the same problem that i have encountered with the 5ml ones. ♡
