somethinc ombrella lip totem tint in twinnie and underground

i was actually thinking of getting mini lipstick set since i can't seem to finish a full size lipstick. but in a set of three, there's always one shade that i don't like, so i decided not to buy the set. instead, i bought another shade of ombrella lip tint. mainly because they have lots of shade and it's tiny. i hope i can finish at least one. i was thinking of getting hayg and underground, but hayg is sold out, so i decided to find a peachy shade. but it's hard to decide based on their swatch and from the video. somehow, the swatch is different from one person to another. it's very confusing to pick so i hope their swatches would be better, maybe more pictures to show swatches on different skin tone? anyway, at the end i decided to pick twinnie and underground, hoping that twinnie is not to orange on me. 
the box
the shade name on the side
this is the description from their website: skincare infused liptint! get your fresh ombre lips like k-idol effortlessly. with a long-lasting and non-drying formulation, you can use this lip tint all day without worrying about causing chapped lips or unnatural stains. gives instant cover even on dark lips with intense pigmentation in one swipe. somethinc ombrella lip totem tint is now available in 28 shades!
ingredients list at the back
the packaging: every ombrella comes in a box that's color-coordinated with their real shade. and it's gradient as well. you can read the shade name on side of the box. the lip tint itself comes in short plastic tube that's color coordinated with the shade. for twinnie, it's peachy orange, for underground it's nude. the cap is transparent and the wand is attached to the cap. the wand is leaf-like shape with pointy tip so it's easy to use especially toward the side of my mouth. the tube is quite short since it's only 1,5 ml, that's why i hope i can finish it up. at least one. 
the tube and the box
the color: as mentioned in their website, there are 28 shades to pick from, ranging from nude, pink, orange and red. i had nikola which leans on pinkish nude cool tone (actually it's a MLBB for me). underground is supposed to be nude, but there's a mauve undertone to it. that's why, i thought it would be slightly nude-ish compared to nikola, but turns out it the mauve undertone is quite strong. that's why on some people, it looks purplish. while twinnie, on swatches, it looks peachy. however, on me, the orange tone is quite strong. the first time i swatch it, i'm surprised to see how orange it looks on me. i have to be careful with this one. 
the wand
the product: it's a lip tint which is a gel-ish liquid lip product. it's slightly sticky to the touch and the wand picks up too much product at first, so i always swipe off some before swiping it on my lips. it's easy to spread it around and on first swipe, the color seems to be a bit too much, but as i keep swiping it around, it tones down and you can always add more to your liking. this one is scented and there's a cooling sensation when it's freshly applied. 
hand swatches
the result: maybe, for lighter color, the durability is quite low. for nikola, the color seems to vanish pretty quickly after eating and drinking. and i notice that goes the same with underground. while for twinnie, it doesn't. not by much. this is a lip tint, so it's supposed to leave some stain behind. but since underground is nudish color, with mauve undertone which is almost like my lips, so the stain is barely noticeable. but for twinnie, if i only swipe a little, the stain doesn't show up. but i use a bit too much, than the stain will be noticeable. not drying on the lips as well.

i have to say that i have difficulties in picking up the shades, but the product is decent. it's a decent lip tint. it's easy to use and it's suitable for daily, if you can pick the right shade, that is. the price is very affordable and somethinc often holds sales. i might not buy another shade aside from hayg since i'm still curious of that one. i do hope that they give decent swatches for next reference since the color is hard to figure out. if you're looking for a lip tint, then i suggest to try this one. i bet there's one out of 28 shades that might work for you.
