Review: Tony Moly Magic Lip Tint

Sorry for abandoning the blog for quite a while. I've been so busy with school that I had zero time to write/type. First of all, happy new year to everyone!! :D 2011 has been a rollercoaster ride for me--many ups and downs in the middle but the extreme peace came at the end. :) Because of this, I am really thankful for God for all the blessings He has given me before the year ended... I will be eternally grateful for everything.

So to open the year, I will be reviewing about Tony Moly's Magic Lip Tint.


Strawberry Tint; Other two tints are Green Apple and Grape. :) This is by far, the lightest.


                              Yes, it's transparent!! That got me the first time I laid eyes on it.haha

The saleslady was bragging that Geum Jan Di used this makeup for the Boys Over Flowers K-Drama.
                               
I'm not really a fan of berry-colored tints because dark color tends to make me look mean. -.-
I originally looked for an apricot/orangey shade of lip and cheek tint because being a teacher means you only have minimal makeup and retouch time and in times like that, a lip and cheek tint is your best bet.
I went to Etude House first to see if their Miss Tangerine line carried such product. Yes they did but only separately--a lip tint and a cheek stain. :( They had the pink lip and cheek tint but it was too runny and the color doesn't really show that much so I decided to buy other things but I left with a heavy heart.

I'm not really a big fan of Tony Moly but since I'm already in the mall, I decided to drop by their store just for the heck of it.

Hearing what I wanted, the saleslady told me they do not have light shades for tints but showed me the Magic Tint, which is, apparently, their bestseller. True to that, my mom and sister tried buying the tint a few days after I showed them and it was sold out. They were able to get hold of it a week after. Oh, I use it as cheek and lip tint BTW! ~

REVIEW:
Pros~

  • It is cheap at P198.00 and may be used for a while since a small amount gives you a lot of color.
  • It stays for hours--both for cheeks and lips.
  • Packaging is cute, handy and sophisticated. :)
  • Very best is that it looks so natural!! Not overpowering at all. 
Cons~

  • It can be a BIT sticky on cheeks but patting some powder does the trick. So, almost no con at all.haha!


Wanna see my face without powder?hahahaha!


For weeks I've been using only this and liquid eyeliner for my daily makeup. No fuss for Teacher Shiu! ^_^
