if you followed me on instagram, then you'll know that i'm chosen as one of amabie's sweethearts, and they sent me kailijumei lipstick to review. although i get this for free, i will review the lipstick honestly. okay, now let's discuss about this lipstick. lately it's become hot beauty topics in the web, and honestly i don't know why it become such a hype. basically, it's a transparent lipstick with real dried flower inside. and the color will be different according to your body temperature. so, let's see is it worth the money?
there's no description on their website, they just say that all of the lipsticks swatch pink and will change colors according to your temperature. and that it contains beeswax.
the packaging: let me remind you that what i received is the summer simplicity one, so it's different from the original one that has been hype on the web. the original one is packaged in a red tube, with a button on top of the tube so you can click it open. while the summer version is like ordinary lipstick. it has transparent plastic cap, gold body and a label on the bottom, only the shade number, no name or whatever (the original one has name, while the summer one only numbered, and mins is #3, which is orange). it also comes in plastic box, while the original one comes in blue box. no wonder though since the summer edition is cheaper than the original one.
the shade: the summer version has 6 different colors, mine is #3 which is orange. let me remind you again that it's the color of the lipstick and the flower, but not the shade of the lipstick. mine swatches pink, just like the website has stated.
the product: the lipstick is clear, colored according to the number. #1 is red, #2 is purple, #3 is orange, #4 is green, #5 is blue, #6 is pink violet. no gold specks in this summer version, while the original one is clear and has gold specks aside from the dried flower. i have to say that the original version looks more fancy. the summer edition looks more lonely. only the flower inside.
the color: it swatches pink on my hand. bright pink, slightly more blue tone. on my lips, one swipe doesn't show any color at all at first, but two swipes slightly show a bit pink in color. like my lips but pinkier. then after waiting a few more minutes, it becomes more bright pink, fuchsia/pink in my opinion. but not that bright, like a tinted lip balm.
the result: i think this is more suitable to be called tinted lip balm rather than lipstick since the color is very sheer and it feels waxy like lip balm. although it gives moisturizing feeling, but it doesn't moisturize my lips at all. in fact, it dries out my lips after the color vanishes from my lips. don't hope for long staying power since it's quite sheer. without eating and drinking it only holds for 2 hours, and even more quicker with drinking and eating. and to my surprise, it sets into line as it vanishes from my lips.
in short, i'm glad that i get this for free since there's no way i would spend that amount of money to buy this lipstick. i don't understand why such a hype for something so ordinary. it's just a tinted lip balm but prettier. and fancier. but if you like to collect pretty lipstick, then buy it. but for a mom of 3, there's no way i would spend my money on this lipstick, no matter how fancy it is. so really, thank you amabie for giving my this lipstick to try.
