LIP TINTS: Peripera Peri's Tint and Lioele Pop Tint

Hello! So today I'm going to talk about two products! First is the Peripera Peri's Tint in two colors: Cherry Juice and Pink Juice. Second, I will be talking about a similar product, the Lioele Pop Tint lip tint in Orange Tint and Pinky Tint.

So first, the Peripera Peri's Tint lip tints:

 

These just have the cutest packaging! Just absolutely adorable, and the bottles are glass and see-through, so you can take a good look at the product's actual color. Now, right off the bat, I like the smell. I would describe it as a sweet, slightly floral scent.I wouldn't be too worried about the scent, because once the product has been on for a few minutes the scent disappears. These are quite watery in consistency, which can be a good and a bad thing. It's very easy to spread this over the lips, but they do slightly bleed into fine lines. That's the biggest negative of these. I recommend using your fingers or a q-tip to spread this over your lips after applied, rather than just using the applicator. Speaking of applicators, here are pictures:

I suppose you call these "doe foot" applicators. They pick up a lot of product though (too much), and I always sort of swirl around the wand at the opening of the bottle to get the excess off. This stuff is very pigmented, so it's best to apply as a light a layer as you can at first, and add on more to your liking. You can't take this stuff off once it's on; it's a stain, so it almost immediately sinks into your skin. The great thing about these is they are super long lasting, and they give off a really pretty color for hours. Here is a swatch on my arm:

And here are some lip swatches:

The effect is pretty on these, and although they have a few cons, overall their pros outweigh them! The color payoff is great, the staying power is excellent, and I don't find that they are drying. They aren't moisturizing, so I would put a balm over them, just to keep the lips looking smooth. But they wont make your lips look chapped or splotchy, even without a balm. You can see in the swatches on my arm the bleeding affect I was mentioning earlier. With a little patience, you can prevent that on the lips, but it's irritating you have to do that in the first place. The colors themselves are quite nice, and I really do love them. The Pink Juice is a sort of magenta color, and the Cherry Juice is exactly the color you want when you're looking for that cherry flush for your lips. Oh, and one last thing. These don't taste very good! They taste a little like rubbing alcohol when first applied to the lips. It goes away, but it isn't pleasant at all!

Now let's look at the Lioele Pop Tint lip tints:

The formula for these, in my opinion, is much nicer than the Peripera. The Lioele Pop Tints have a smooth, almost creamy or milky sort of texture, whereas the Peripera tints are just very watery (hence the name, I suppose!). Then again, the desired effect is much different. With Peripera's tints, you get a bolder lip, whereas the Lioele tints are a more natural feel. Now, there is a red Lioele Pop Tint, and I have tried it. Its consistency is much more like the Peri's Tint lip tints, only I didn't like Lioele's version as much as the Peri's Tint in Cherry Juice. I think Peripera's Cherry Juice is better than the Cherry Tint from Lioele, as Lioele's version tended to be more drying and sort of splotchy.

The application is much easier on the Lioele Pop Tints, since you use a brush. However, as you're about to see below, the product gets a little goopy at the opening of the bottle, and sometimes gets into the cap. It's easy to clean off, but just a little inconvenient.

So the Lioele tints are probably some of my favorite lip products. They are a smooth creamy texture, and the colors are soft, wearable, and actually quite moisturizing. I'll show the swatches on my arm below so you can see what I mean:

Aren't those just beautiful? These are my go-to everyday lip tints. You truly can see in the picture how different this consistency is from the Peripera lip tints (although, of course, they aren't meant to be exactly the same sort of product). I'll show you below how they look on the lips:

Orange Tint comes out a nice soft coral color when combined with your natural lip color, and can be made to look more orange if more layers of the product are applied. The Pinky Tint is a soft milky sort of pink, and I love it on days where I'm looking for a natural pink flush to my lips. The only thing is, although these are quite long-lasting, they don't compare to the length of time the Peripera tints stay on. Those suckers stay on all day, whereas the Lioele tints might have to be reapplied after about 5 or 6 hours.

All of these tints are great products, however in this instance I think the Lioele Pop Tints are more worth investing in. The Peripera Peri's Tint lip tints are great for if you want a bolder, longer lasting look, however, and even through their cons, I still recommend them! So here's a list of pros and cons:

Peripera Peri's Tint

CANMAKE CREAMY TOUCH ROUGE

So I'm reviewing a product by Canmake, the Creamy Touch Rouge lipsticks. On the website, Canmake promises that these lipsticks will provide a "semi-matte" finish, which is non-drying. They go on to promise a creamy texture and an opaque color, appearing the same way on your lips as in the tube. They also contain hyaluronic acid, collogen, avocado oil, and raspberry extract. These are supposed to help keep lips soft and moisturized.

So, I just received both of these today! I was excited to receive them, because I had read online some pretty good things. So first of all, the packaging:

How CUTE is that packaging? Asian brands always produce the most amazing and adorable packaging. Although packaging itself does not decide the overall product's worth and quality to me, it is certainly a nice bonus! It definitely makes me feel happier about my purchase when I can enjoy the appearance of the product as much as the product itself.

Now onto the colors. Here are swatches on my arm first:

Left: Marshmallow Pink 01. Right: Misty Orange 02.

The first one is "Marshmallow Pink" (Number 01):

As you can see, it's a soft, sort of milky/ baby pink. It's a very girly color, and would be nice for the spring, especially! I would say this is a color that's great if you are fair, like me, or light. I would be apprehensive to buy this were I someone who was of a darker shade of skin tone. Some with medium skin tones may be able to pull this off, but I would be careful, because it will remove the color of your lips, and may wash you out. Here is a lip swatch below, taken in natural light:

The other color is "Misty Orange" (Number 02):

This orange certainly delivers a wonderful color, and it is exactly what I wanted out of an orange lipstick like this. It reminds me of what orange sorbet would look like in a lip color! Again, I would recommend this more for lighter or fairer skin tones. On top of that, I think this is a color a bit harder to pull off than Marshmallow Pink. Don't be intimidated by orange, but do be mindful it may be a different sort of experience for you if you are new to lipstick! It's kind of a great alternative to a nude lipstick, if you ask me. This shade is great for the spring and summer, and since it's orange, I might even carry it right on into the fall!

Overall I really love these! The texture is smooth and glides on very easily. As advertised, these are creamy, and they even feel moisturizing on the lips. I suppose I will just go ahead and note there is no glitter or shimmer at all; these truly are just creamy lipsticks. The longevity of these is pretty average; they lasted for about 4 hours, overall, before I felt I really wanted to reapply. Color payoff is pretty wonderful, and they are exactly the colors I expected them to be from looking at pictures online, as well as from looking at the lipstick bullet. Basically all of the promises made by Canmake are fulfilled, in my opinion. I just love these! I really recommend trying these out! There is one additional color, a red ("Sweet Cherry"), but I decided not to buy it because I already have the red lipsticks that I need for now. However, this formula is just excellent, so I would recommend you trying out any of the three colors!

Pros

-Creamy, smooth texture

-Quite opaque color

-Yields advertised color, texture, etc.

-Non-drying (moisturizing, even)

-Cute, fun packaging

-Travel friendly (durable tube)

Cons

-Colors are very pastel, and thus may not be for everyone of every skin tone

-Hard to find

-Expensive

Much love,
