now i have 10 shades of laka fruity glam tint!!

 

i keep liking them because they go on really light, stain well, and the shade range is honestly so fun to collect

i always end up picking a different color depending on the day

 

i’m planning to buy more, so if there’s a shade you’re curious about, let me know! i’ll consider it for my next purchase 👀

I wanted to try the makeup from Dream Makeup website and paid 880rs

Delivery time: took 1 and half month

Gisou Honey Infused lip oil: 1/10. The quality will literally give those type of lip oils where you find it at village fairs

Foundation brush: 8/10. The only thing which I felt it is good and worth

Coco Chanel perfume 7.5ml: 6/10. Quantity wise its less but smell great tho

Fenty Beauty Pro Filtr Soft Matte Foundation: 1/10. Ordered darker shade they sent the wrong shade

Medicube collagen night wrapping mask: did not try it yet but ill surely give you the update

Is it worth the hype: absolutely not

Should you buy it: no never

I thought you might like to see how the new Velatura Balm in Meeting the Ex compares to her other pinks.

top lip photo: bare lips, 2nd: first applied, 3rd bottom: after 5 minutes

in hand swatch photo: L - R persona lip liner in mauve, GR fig bingsoo, milani honey fig

fig bingsoo is a muted neutral mauve and a true mlbb for my skintone. the shade is a lot more flattering on me than Eadem Fig Sauce(too warm/pigmented). the scent on fig bingsoo is lighter and less strong as well. its a tart fig without being too sweet or sour. longevity is great and it is the smoothest balm ive felt and its very "glassy". there is not graininess and doesnt dry out lips after its faded. comfort level is 10/10 and it fills in the lip lines and really plumps the looks of lips. The color is more natural than in photo where it looks more brighter than it is in real life.

it is as if ole henriksen was thinner with the comfort level of laneige glowy balm. high shine and extremely comfortable. i have sensory issues where i dislike textures of most if not every tinted lip balm ive tried. i am also extremely picky when it comes to scents.

this really impressed me. i pair it with Persona lip liner in "mauve" and its the most perfect mlbb for my skintone. i want to add most shades turn orange on me or its too saturated and dark.

ive tried a lot of tinted balms that i can compare it to, please let me know

made on usa, 22$ for 15g

Would be extra cool if someone who has a medium skin tone would chip in!

Would be amazing if someone could compare them as the shade 360 isnt available in stores where I live but at the same time I dont want to blind buy. The shades available are 350 (a little too light) and 410 (pretty dark). The other shades Ive tried (with samples) are armani 7.8 (slightly darker and orange with formula emphasizing texture) and estee lauder 4n2 (slightly ashy but not bad). Desert beige is the closest but is ever so slightly orange on me on its own. Any help will be appreciated!!

I hope the formatting is okay, Reddit is a little....quirky.

All swatches on fair cool/neutral desaturated olive skin in window sunlight. Swatches are applied direct from applicator.

Formula Notes

All GIrlcult lip products have a very strong scent. To me it smells of rose soap. The intensity on application is very apparent, but I do find that most of them "fade" over time to be less obtrusive.

Please note that some may stain or be film-forming, depending on product age. Some of mine are the older formula that still stains, some of the newer ones apparently do not, even in the same shade, so I will not speak to the stain quality or film-former quality.

• Matte mousse - Very blendable and intensely pigmented mousse formula. These can all be sheered down or used for a "foggy" look, but need to be handled with extreme care as the pigment is insanely strong. These are not a traditional matte lipstick formula, so will not dry down and stay put, they can be moved around similarly to a balm. They are matte but not intensely drying, I would suggest putting balm on beneath. I often use a dot of them on top of other lippies to change the shade or formula slightly, or use them as a "base" for others.
• Matte mousse with glitter - Same as the matte mousse, but with glitter mixed in. Some are more subtle than others, and may not be noticeable at all. Some get more intense as you wear the product, but none of them have a punch that I'd call standout. The glitter is an accent, not the point of the product. In G61 for instance, the glitter is nearly invisible as the pigments sit on top of it, hiding it.
• Matte bullet lipstick with glitter - Comfortable formula but firmer than some may expect. It's not a creamy product, so a little harder to apply and blend than the mousses, but the staying power is much better. The glitter is slightly more apparent in these but again, not the point of the product.
• Glosses - All of these are very shiny and very comfortable to wear, and plush enough to hide lip lines. They will migrate and move a bit, but I do find them more stable than other glosses I have tried. Lip liner helps keep them contained. Some of the older versions may have "film forming" capability, but I have never been able to get one fully transfer proof.
• Special effect glosses - Two of the shades I have are in this range, J75 Fireflies and J76 Spiders. These, unlike the matte formulas, the glitter is the point of the product. When first applied, the glitter has some punch, but it develops as you sit. Put the product on, don't touch it, then look again in around a minute, and all the glitter will have "floated" to the surface, making a layer of sharp shine. It is nearly impossible to catch how shiny it is in photos.

Packaging Notes

J79, J75, J76 - rectangular packaging
S07 - traditional lipstick bullet tube
All others - traditional gloss bottle

None have locking lids, all are beautifully designed. A significant amount of them are not translucent so you cannot see the shade, and some do not have the shade number on the bottom, only the Chinese name, so you may want to have labels ready. The products will be in a cardboard component when received.

All mousses and glosses use a flocked paddle, some of the newer ones have a much more flexible paddle.

Hi guys! Someone on Reddit recommended this brand for a wide range of muted powder blushes and I decided to buy the 12-pan palette and chose the shades I wanted in the palette!! I had a fun little swatch party and I thought I’d share this with you guys! I arranged the blushes from warm to cool tones.

Picture was taken on a cloudy day indoors and just did a finger swatch

indoor lighting, no primer on Nc15 skintone swiped multiple times and blended them out.

sorry for the messy swatches but they are all Pale Mauve other than the liner swatch for comparison to Persona Mauve Lip Liner(my hg liner)

abh pale mauve is VERY grey on the lips. almost too much grey. i prefer this type of color as contour for lips. if you are looking for a true cool toned greyish mauve then this would be great. for me i actually found it to be too muted. its as if you put maybelline gone greige all over the lips.

Hey y’all, today I compared Peripera Mood Glowy Tint 16 Rose Pick vs Ink Mood Glowy Tint 33 Rosy Wish on my light medium warm skin tone.

3rd photo is the lip swatch: Rose Pick on my right (your left) and Rosy Wish on my left (your right)

Hope it’s helpful for some of you in one way or another. 😉

I have collected far too many lip products over the last two years!! Don’t worry - I am fully committed to project pan now.

I decided to take swatches so I can figure out which ones I can declutter (and to have an inventory of my collection so I’m not tempted to break my current no-buy).

For reference: I have a light, cool-neutral skin tone. Photos were taken next to a window with my indoor lights also on. Except photos 2-4 which are without indoor lighting.

Happy to answer any questions about products!

Rimmel (Pink Candy)

Buxom (Dangerous Dolly)

Sacheu (Plumped)

Revlon (Mink)

Covergirl Lip Stain (20 Admire)

Covergirl Lip Stain (35 Canyon)

Notes: Longest lasting are Sacheu (you let it dry and peel off, but it’s hard to apply precisely with the applicator), Revlon (drier formula), and Maybelline (takes some time to dry down but then doesn’t budge).

Laka Fruity Glam Mini (113 Pleasure)

Jill Stuart Lip Laquer (04)

rom&nd Glasting Melting Balm (09 Peonies)

Etude Dear Darling Water Tint (Berry Ade)

Notes: Etude water tint is patchy to apply. Laka is the longest lasting in this grouping.

Lilybyred Bloody Liar Coating Tint (05 Talented Peach)

ETUDE Fixing Tint (05 Midnight Mauve)

ETUDE Fixing Tint (10 Smoky Cherry)

ETUDE Fixing Tint (15 Woody Pink)

Notes: Etude Fixing Tints are my favourite! They’re matte but not drying/annoying on the lips. The others are glossier.

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil (Hope)

Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink (Lover)

Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain (85 Rosewood)

Covergirl Clean Fresh Jelly Water Tint (Mulberry Melts)

Covergirl Clean Fresh Jelly Water Tint (Raspberry)

Notes: Pretty sure something is off with my Vinyl Ink. It isn’t as saturated in colour as videos I’ve seen. I shake the heck out of it too 🤷🏻‍♀️ Love all of the others. The Jelly Water Tints feel the lightest (I forget they’re on!) and last the longest. You can build the colour up a lot.

Notes: I really like these. They come with a clear balm you can reapply throughout the day to make colour last longer and keep lips moisturized. When applying, don’t rub lips together or close your mouth until the lipstick is fully dry. Then apply gloss.

Pic 6: NYX Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain

Bubblegum Burst

Cranberry Splash

Hydra-Honey

Notes: As you can see, the stains of these colours look pretty much identical. You can wear these without wiping away, but they get stuck on my teeth easily since it’s a thick formula. Very hydrating though! Coconut scent.

Pic 7: Lipsticks

Kate Tokyo Lip Monster (07)

Kate Tokyo Lip Monster (17)

Kate Tokyo Lip Monster (CP02)

Clinique (Black Honey)

Tom Ford Mini (19 Runway Rose)

Notes: The Kate Tokyo Lip Monsters last forever!! Wish I got more when I was in Japan. They don’t feel heavy on the lips at all. No makeup remover or oil cleanser would get them off my arm, and I didn’t even leave them on long before wiping.

Thought I would swatch all of my alt style compatible lipsticks as a a swatch and recommendation list. The first 7 lipsticks are liquid lipsticks, while 8-11 are lip muds/lip clays

1st picture is natural light, second is neutral artificial light. My skin tone is fair neutral

Some color clarification that isn't obvious from these swatches: Black moon cosmetics Immortal is a metallic red/purple, Eulogy is grey, while Menarie cosmetics Artemis is cool green/grey, Girlcult G79 is almost black green with glitter, Kaleidos Mercury wave is cool purple, Loreal Paris 560 is a deep burgundy

Shade names:

TIRTIR Waterism Glow Tint – Honey Nut

NYX Lip I.V. – Splash n Spice

M.A.C Lustreglass Nude Lipstick – Signature Move

M.A.C Powder Kiss Hazy Matte Lipstick – Good For You

FENTY BEAUTY Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick – Sp'Ice Cold

I have medium skin tone with undertone of warm-neutral.
