I am an investing noob because it seems that whenever I tried something I remotely liked, I would go all in and buy a bunch of the same thing (which all turned out bad). I liked my first Peripera liptint, after my pleasant experience I went on Amazon to get more and...yup I hate them.
015 Girlish Red (hey there was no swatch on Amazon so I gave the brand my blind trust) is a full on neon bright red that's thin, inky (which means it's very drying as it wears) and intensely pigmented.
Not sure how girlish it is but the shade sure reminds me of Memoir of a Geisha. Not only it's so bright that it makes me look like nothing but a mouth, the shade also instantly makes my (otherwise farmer tanned) skin look pasty like bread dough.
The biggest down fall to me is that it immediately gives my lips a bold and uneven stain (pink on the outside and orange near the center). If lipsticks are my lovers, Peripera is the kind of Tinder flings who start discussing the names of our grandchildren on the first date.
Heck. I don't even want to commit for an hour.
Please don't hate be for saying this - I actually think that stain looks so pretty (hides). I used up a few bottles of PeriPera original ink tints specifically for those mega stains they leave behind. Combined with good gloss and balm, it was just convenient. But after a while, I couldn't stand the driness and found that there are better stains out there (I mean, why did I suffer when I had GA Lip Magnets in hand..?)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, not this one but I tried the airy velvet version and hated myself as well - it was slippery drying mess and had a weird taste and scent, iirc.
I do agree...the stain is way prettier than the actual lip tint (which is quite aging with the shade and finish). I don't get why this "everything tints" was so popular in the last few years...
DeleteI never use my Peripera tint! I am also not into liquid lips in general :x
ReplyDeleteHahahahah I love the Tinder reference
Don't buy them...I will get shot on reddit (asianbeauty) but the majority of KBeauty lip tint shades look really plasticky cheap. I was a fool for having gotten so many.
DeleteMost lipsticks I have are flings, some are loving concubines (I destashed most members of my cold palace) and the true waifu is...Ettusais lip Essence that I wear every day.
Ugh I agree, I tried like 3 Korean lip tints and they're all meh.
DeleteLOL I love the comparison, where did the destashed members go?? I just ordered the hello kitty Ettusais lip essence! Hope I can actually get it bc a lot of eBay stuff hasn't come in the mail o_O
If it was used 2-3 times I sold them on mercari for a few bucks a piece (I know some shade wont work out after one try...Sometime I destash without using / I know shade won't work)
DeleteFor low end brand I just toss them after a while...No guilt there.
If you order from Taiwan seller the registered mail actually comes pretty quickly (but I think the hello kitty one has a red tint).
Fingers crossed! So far I am 0 for 2 for Korea packages
DeleteI saw a swatch somewhere and it seems like the red isn't too prominent. Since it's hello kitty I don't mind just having it :D
The effects of acetyl l carnitine skincare products are phenomenal, and I only just began using them. My skin looks healthier and brighter now that it encourages cellular healing. This product is perfect for adding to your daily regimen because it is mild enough to use every day.
