when i knew i was going to korea, i wanted to take a color personality test. however, since it was a short notice, i almost couldn't book one. then i managed to book one but a day before my appointment, they informed me that they had to cancel. they tried to book another one but it was after my flight to japan, so they agreed to refund me. but on the day i supposed to take the refund, they informed me that they had an opening, just a day before my flight. i took it. anyway, i had a feeling that the result would be the complete opposite of what i've been doing and i was right. my result is light spring and the colors they suggested were the ones i never, or rarely use. for lip makeup, they said that coral suits me best. the consultant gave me a few options to try, and surprisingly, her choice did make my complexion look brighter! i didn't get the chance to buy any of her recommendation when i was in korea, but i found a lip tint in japan, so i decided to get one. the dasique one.
this is the description from their US website: a fuller lip effect- hydrating oil in formula hugs lips with shine and blurs the look of wrinkles to deliver the appearance of fuller lips. non sticky, lightweight texture - adds fresh colors to your lips without leaving any stickiness. moisturizing - pamper your lips with vivid color, while locking dewy moisture.

| the lip tint |
the packaging: it comes in a coral box with maybe ingredients list printed at the back. you can read the shade name on top/bottom of the box. since i bought this in japan, everything is written in japanese. the lip tint comes in the same color as the box, which is bright coral. at the bottom, you can see a bit of transparent column so you can see the remaining product inside. the lip tint it shaped like a long box, which is not usual since most brands opted for a tubular shape. it comes in 3.5 g which is not much, so hopefully i can finish it. the wand is attached to the top part and the applicator has a doe foot shape.

| shade name in japanese |
the color: i think they're still broadening this line since there are newer shades coming late 2023. at first, they have 7 shades. but then they added the summer coral collection that comes in 5 shades. one of them is the chili sherbet. chili sherbet is a coral shade, leaning toward orange with a bit of red as well.

| doe foot applicator |
the product: it's gel type lip tint. it's runnier than somethinc lip tint so i have to problem spreading it out. the applicator works well and i can apply the lip tint on my lips evenly with the applicator. it feels a bit sticky, but it's not much.

the result: the lip tint appears a bit transparent at first, but it's buildable. you can build up the opacity of the color by layering the tint. luckily it's not as sticky as somethinc's. at first, it looks glossy..really glossy and wet, but soon, the glossiness goes away. the stain is different from shade to shade. since chili sherbet is a bright shade, the stain that it left is pretty visible. longevity wise, i don't think it's long wearing. after eating and drinking, especially oily food, the stain won't even stay. since it doesn't last long, i end up reapplying it every few hours or after eating heavy meal.
i have to say that i'm quite surprised to learn that the coral/orangish shade that i always stay away from is working for me. my face looks brighter when i put it on. even the translator in my consultation session looked surprised to see the difference as well. this lip tint is good for daily, but if you're looking for a long lasting one, then you should avoid this. as for me, i think i won't repurchase since there are a lot of lip products out there that's similar to this shade and has the same feel. trying one is enough for me. if you like lip tint and like to have a good selection of colors, then this is a good choice. however, since dasique is not available here, and price wise it's not as affordable as in korea, then you might want to think twice if you get this elsewhere.
