The Lioele Pop Cherry Tint

| bought at Fairykiss (http://www.facebook.com/fairykiss.tale.online) |
Before this, I was never a fan of tints. For some reason, even the most pigmented tints just doesn't work on me. They seem to blend out on my skin and look pretty invisbile. Before I bought my Lioele POP cherry Tint I couldn't be bothered by tints!
well, that all changed cause of this product ❤ Yay!
Tints are these colored ink-like stuff that women use to give color to their cheeks and lips, something like a rouge. It's a blusher and a lipstick all in one. To use them you put a drop on the center of your lower lip and smooth them out evenly, or put it three dots on your cheek and spread them out on your cheekbone for a nice blush.
The Lioele Pop Cherry Tint comes in a cute cylindrical bottle with a nail polish brush. It really do look like a semi transparent tinted nail polish in my opinion.
The stuff smells like roses! ❁❁❁
I guess that isn't much of a surprise since the product claims to be made of rose water. Just opening the bottle and you'd get a whiff of roses, so if you're not fond of that scent, I guess it's best to give you that warning.
The product isn't as pigmented as I wanted it to be. But the product is buildable so I believe it is a good start for the newbies. As for the swatch, here's a photo of my lippies. No I don't smoke.

This isn't how I would normally wear it. I usually just put a dot spread it a bit, and smack my lips together. It looks so natural too!
As for staying power, living in a polluted and humid area, this doesn't stay on too much. I also spend most of my day in an airconditioned classroom. What I like though, even though it doesn't stay that long, some stuff remains leaving my lips with a nice pinkish look. It's not as red as it would be in the morning but I like how it looks in the afternoon. If I'm in my parent's house (where it's cleaner) the product usually stays much longer.If it's on my cheek however, it lasts the whole day given I don't run around too much
Pros:
- nice tint color
- stays long on the cheeks
- buildable
- smells like roses
- application brush
- handy
- looks natural
Cons
- Doesn't stay on too long
- Strong rose scent (may not be to your liking)
- color isn't very strong
- gets washed away easily
Verdict:
Since this is my first tint, and it converted me from a hater to a lover, I guess you could say that I REALLY LOVE IT!!!! I have tried a lot of local tints and some really good ones for that matter but I never liked any of them. Lioele cheek tint look very natural compared with tony moly (yep I tried their cherry tint too, thanks to Lioele), but I find that too pigmented and drag queenish. But if you're looking for a subtle tint that you could play with, Lioele is your brand! It looks natural and pretty if you're using this for a gradient look. though it isn't prefect I still prefer this over my Tony Tint
