REVIEW : Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick & Glossy Lip Lacquer

Today I'm going to review two products at once! Both Innisfree - Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick in #6 Maple Burgundy Pink (Retail for KRW 12.000) and Innisfree Glossy Lip Lacquer also in #6 Maple Burgundy Pink (Retail for KRW 8.000)

Both of the product produce a burgundy pink color, hence the name - and the color on the tube and the tube swatch is definitely darker than the actual color. Also I don't know why in the pictures that I took they look so red! 

In the packaging they said moisture shine, melting texture, rich color, camelia oil, and 3-free-system. Comes in 10 color selections and this is the color that SNSD Yoona's wear on the advertisement. It's Innisfree Autumn 2013 collection so the color selections are so 'autumn'ish if that makes sense.

This lipstick color payoff is a-ma-zing. Comparing on how creamy it is the pigmentation is awesome!

The lipstick is so moisturizing, i don't actually need lip balm before using it. You know how sometimes using a vivid colored lipstick could accentuate your lip's line, it's not happening with this one. As much as I love moisturizing lip colors,

I hate it when they're so creamy the stick melt down / break apart - just like what happened to my NYX round lipstick(s). But again, it's not happening with this one because the metal part actually keep the product together and it won't break apart I guarantee you!

For the finish, it's very glossy. However it's not sticky in your lips! I know glossy lip product tend to lasts shorter than matte lipstick, but this one stays quite long! It was a shocker because I definitely though that the color would faded off after I ate my meal, but it clearly still there. Well, you do need to reapply some more but it's not as bad as I would think tho.

The lipgloss of course has a less vivid color - very suitable for those who want to try bright colored lips, toned down version. But it is still vivid, you can toned them down by applying a nude lipstick first and the lip gloss on top of it. The lipgloss has a glossier finish and shorter life span - i meant it doesn't last as long as the lipstick. The product is not sticky at all and that's I really appreciate!

The reason why I bought the gloss is because when applied together - the color become a little darker and I like the look (I swatched them on the store!). You can see in the swatch below that both of them have great pigmentations, in the lips the gloss has that sheerness to it.

I specifically like the lip gloss' applicator, because it's a tad bit wider and shorter than regular applicator, it just make applying gloss much easier!

LEFT lip gloss RIGHT lipstick 

Both of the product don't have any significant scent / taste which I know it's preferable to some people. But one thing about the lipstick - I do love the size better than the Creamy Tint one, but the matte coating make the product gets dirty so fast! The lip gloss is much better because 70% of it was glass - obviously. But the lipstick is a mess! As long as you keep them in somewhere clean I don't think it's a big problem, though I like to toss my lipstick into my purse and it turns grayish in a day!

Overall, I totally love both of the these product - though if I have to choose one to repurchase, I'll choose the lipstick over the gloss! Not only I like the packaging, but the formulation is so great! The gloss was amazing but I've over my obsession over glosses and totally into lipsticks - so I'll go with the lipstick.

I can see a lot of people are interested in this product even before the actual launch, just because the 'Creamy Tint' was a big hit. I personally prefer this one over the Creamy Tint - not only for the formulation but also the color selection that are much darker and warmer. I really hope that Innisfree would actually expand the collection, just like what they did to the 'Creamy Tint'! 

I could see myself purchasing the nude one next month on Innisfree's Membership Day Sale lol
