INNISFREE Glossy Lip Lacquer in #5 Plum Burgundy

Plum or Dark shades never count as the darling of lippies in Indonesia since people often associate it with Halloween and too afraid with its striking deep color. However, if one knows the tips-and-trick with these dark shades, then you will get an elegantly-bold color.

However, thanks to Lorde for upstage the dark-bold shade into a new sophisticated level. You need no same dark hue as Lorde's but with a bit of trick then you will get another experience in experimenting with deep hue. According to Lucky's beauty editorial in Nov' 2013 :

"It's such an elegant, wintry color and it's a beautiful contrast against any skin tone." according to New York Make Up Artist Gucci Westman. The trickiest part about wearing such a deep color is getting it to stay on the lips, but the newest versions are made with that on mind. Slight adjustment can be made to give any color more endurance: "You can layer - put lipstick over pencil for a matte finish, or gloss over lipstick for something shinier, which makes the color look more dimensional and last much longer," says makeup artist Pati Dubroff. The edgier option: blotting the color down with a tissue until it's a sheer (but sexily deep) wash.

Innisfree Glossy Lip Lacquer is released in 7 major shades with additional 3 shades in their latest 2013 release. This lip lacquer comes in 4.8 ml liquid contained in a transparent plastic tube with solid-white cap. It's retailed for Won 8.000 in the website and comes in with guarantee seal attached unboxed. At first, Glossy Lip Lacquer was released to accompany the Color Glow Lipstick series but in aside you can wear it alone to create glossy look. The color chosen is #5 Plum Burgundy.

As you can see, Innisfree keeping up their effort in maintaining environmental issue with less packaging and minimalist decoration to reduce emission. Unlike the other previous product reviewed before, the Glossy Lip Lacquer comes unboxed and looks minimalist with transparent tube. Meanwhile, the sponge applicator comes slanted with superlative length. There's no additional information about the product in the tube just slight of info in Korean.

Plum Burgundy #5 is a dark-plum burgundy with purple-blue undertone. The pigmentation wise is fairly opaque (could be due to the bold hue) with heavy glossiness overload. The texture is sticky with fairly moisturizer added, yet not that sticky-oily which is not making you look like just bitten a frying tempura. If you pay attention to the shimmering substance in the gloss, you will see a blue-spark particle over the Dark-Plum gloss which elevates the bold-shade into more sophisticated look. Furthermore, there's slightly fruity fragrant when first applied but will fade away over the time.

My Verdict?

This lip lacquer gloss is unlike other lip gloss before; it's not 'that' oily-sticky and gives opaque coverage on the lip. The texture feels a bit oily & sticky first but will leave subtle gloss afterward. The deep-plum hue is hardly to be found out in Indonesia since dark-hue is not popular at all comparing to bright shades. So, if you dare yourself with dark-hue then you might start with darker-pink and goes further with dark-plum shade like this one. I might project myself with these bold hue during dark & cold weather or when feeling gloomy *ehem*. You can check another review from Korean Blog here for further reference. Thus, this shade & product could be your another substitution against the current mainstream. Do you dare to try one? ♥

INNISFREE Vivid Tint Rouge in 13 Maple Burgundy Pink

After several prior trials and verdicts thus Innisfree should be awarded as 'Most-promising Eco-friendly brand' and hands down to Vivid Tint Rouge's super-duper tremendous formula.

The Vivid Tint Rouge is one of the most-wanted lip color from Innisfree lip color since it's promoted to create a lustrous creamy tint color unlike other brand has. There are total 13 shades in which the last 3 shades were launched as part of 2013 Fall Trend color. It retails for Won 10.000 (equals to IDR 118.000 through online PO) and nett for 4.8ml with no additional outer box.

Vivid Tint Rouge series comes in a typical Innisfree's packaging; solid broken-white plastic tube with no outer box inserted. Simply just a guarantee seal attached to the cap's twister to ensure its quality control. No kidding when Innisfree doesn't put any English information for the product since the only information you can find in the tube is written in Korean. However, you might easily find the shade peeked out from a long-square panel at the side of the tube. The applicator comes in a common slanted-tube sponge in a superlative length.

PHOTOS

As you can see, the tube is typical Innisfree's minimalist packaging. However, you might find that the inner part of the tube is easily messed up especially if you choose bold color like this one. It's difficult to find out Vivid Tint Rouge's English information since no further information stated in the packaging and all information in the Innisfree website are written in Korean.

 Voila~ The color payoff is ridiculously amazing and according to Filia's : 

"The Vivid Tint Rouge promotes vivid color payoff, glossy finish, and long lasting properties."

The pigmentation is superbly striking-opaque coverage; but with bit of glossy finish. It is a ruby-red shade with blue undertone and tends to be at cool-tone category. The texture is liquid-tint when first applied and instantly leaves a hint of gloss afterward. However, carefully applying the tint since it's staining surface so easily especially if you have bold shade like this one and will leave noticeable stain even though you try to rub it, so you might need water-proof remover to take it away. You can sniff a slight tutti-fruity fragrant and minty-flavor after application but it's subtle enough; neither too harsh nor too strong. The good thing is the texture makes it easier for you to create typical Korean gradient-lips with a hint of color applied on the inner part of lips, below swatch will show you the full-lips application only.

My Verdict?

I lurve, lurve it! Innisfree totally offers a different experience of lip products; the Vivid Tint Rouge is unlike other lip stain product, this products delivers a lustrous color and also moisturize your lips. The liquid has bit of tutti-fruity scent and mint flavor after applied plus it's long-lasting (it stays for more than 4 hours in normal activity.) The ergonomic applicator definitely helps you to create either bold full-lips style or gradient-look style which makes a plus for the product. However, it's hardly to get this product on Indonesia and also difficult to find out the ingredients of the product because most information are written in Korean but since Innisfree committed to serve naturally derived ingredient formula then there's no need to worry. The problem? The stain is little bit pain to remove, you will need waterproof remover. Have you tried this product also? Let me hear also from you but for now on just take a look at other reviews from Macnunu , Japanese Gyaru Lady Bittenbefore and my dearest Indonesian BBlogger Mysugarcoffee. ♥   

INNISFREE Color Glow Lipstick in 08

Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick is like an enhancement from Innisfree Creamy Tint Lipstick with vivid and moisturizing formula to create brilliantly dimensional lips.

When it comes to Autumn, it's about a new trend reflecting the current season's mood. This product was launched back on Autumn 2013 collection so it was expected to create a lush, deep-bold lip. Unlike Creamy Tint Lipstick which has almost-similar one-to-another shades, this Color Glow series offers more 10 variational shades from sheer-beige to sophisticated-fuchsia. Costs for Won 12.000 (or equals to IDR 137.000 through online PO in Indonesia), and weight for 3.5 gr.

The outer packaging comes in typical Innisfree's Eco-concious concept with recycled material and soy-ink imprint; while the color accent of the box goes with broken-white and moss-brown hue. Only limited information of the product in English since most of the information are written in Korean. Furthermore, the tube is like typical Innisfree solid-white light weight plastic tube with silvery-metal core and more slimmer & taller than Creamy Tint Lipstick. The product is mentioned as "Spring Color Pink" *excuse my Korean* and has a cool-tone Magenta Pink. At glance, the Color Glow series is more creamier and glowy-ier than Creamy Tint series which creates bold and matte finish.

It's promoted to create :

- Moisture shine

- Rich color

- (Containing) Camellia Oil

- Free from 3 harmful ingredients (Animal-cruelty, talc & benzophenone-free)

As you can see, the pink tends to be on cool-tone, a subtle pinkish-magenta hue with blue-based tone. It delivers opaque-creamy finish texture with bits of glossy effect; not that sticky-gloss yet demure shine. It also doesn't accentuate my dry patches and doesn't drying up my lips as well. At first, you might feel creamy and bit glossy but over the time the gloss will fade away and only the matte finish left. The product stays for about 4 hours and still deliver amount of color when you sip a drink. Furthermore, you can sniff bit of candy-fruity scent but it doesn't bothered at all comparing to Creamy Tint's fragrant. It moisturizing the lips as well thanks to the Camellia Oil extract which working well in this product. This product totally a mix of cream texture with gloss effect as cherry on the top.

My Verdict?

Color Glow series is way much better than the Creamy Tint series in the moisturizing department; it's creamy yet gives you supple moisturizer on your lips. It also delivers stroke of bold color which is seriously coating your lips with intense opaque color. It leaves nice stain afterward and lingers for 4 hours during normal activity. I don't suggest lip balm usage beforehand since it already makes your lip supple but better to prevent dry patches before it occurs. I love how it's seriously coating and moisturizing your lips; therefore this product is true to its name, Color Glow Lipstick. The Pink-Magenta color is categorized at the cooler side but as you can see this pink hue is suitable with my warm-tone; which is a very good news for me. However, you can check another review from atfirstwink review. I hope this lovely pink hue will brighten up your day and thank you for reading fellas ♥
