LE WATOSA Plump Lip (No. 150 Translucent)

It has a refreshing feeling like a maximizer. I like that it doesn't tingle, but I didn't really like the smell or the taste. I wish it was sweeter.

I ran out of the "Pink" maximizer I use as my exclusive lip care product for Sakura Night no. 151, so I bought this one. I remember buying Watusa eyeshadow or some other powder product over 10 years ago and really enjoying it. Below, I'll compare it to the maximizer. I had assumed the pink in "Sakura" was a sheer pink, but it's actually a solid, opaque pink. However, when I applied it to my lips, unlike the pink of the maximizer, the color was barely noticeable. I dispensed it onto the spatula and applied it with my fingers, which made it easier to dispense than the maximizer's tip. While the maximizer dispenses in a thick, stringy stream, this one pours onto the spatula. It does give a glossy finish, but it's not a shiny, shiny shine; it's more like a lick of gloss. The maximizer has a tingling sensation, while this one has a refreshing, cooling sensation. I'm addicted to pleasant sensations, so I enjoy any kind of stimulation, whether it's a tingling or cooling sensation. (I didn't really notice any plumping effect though...) The taste (?) may seem a little strange at first if you're used to the Maximizer, but you get used to it after using it a few times. It has a mint + something sweet smell. (It smells like something I remember... almond?... what is it...) I like the case better than the Maximizer. There's no unnecessary decoration, and the cap is long, so it's easy to twist and the liquid doesn't get on your hands. It makes me want to try the no. 150 Translucent as well.

I bought this on Beauty Day because I was curious about it. It's supposed to combat dryness under a mask, but it moisturizes with a light touch. That's great, but the cooling sensation is a little stronger than I expected, so I don't really like it. That's why I gave it three stars.

I own both the Translucent and Sakura shades. Previously, the Plump Lip Maximizer was my only choice, but since I started wearing masks, I've switched to this, which is a little more affordable. (I'm also a little annoyed by the constant price hikes of foreign brands.) I often use the Translucent for lip care on my days off, and the Sakura as a lipstick base. It contains peppermint oil, so it's refreshing. However, compared to the Maximizer, I don't find it stinging. It's supposedly fragrance-free, but perhaps due to the peppermint oil, it does have a herbal scent. It doesn't peel and has a strong moisturizing effect, so it doesn't dry out my lips, even during this time of year. The fact that you can dispense just the right amount with the spatula and that it can be used as a lip gloss is another plus. I'll probably buy it again, but I'd also like to try the stick-type lip care cream.

I was attracted by the cherry blossom name and bought this lip gloss from Suzykirei shopping. It's a cute pink lip gloss. The cooling sensation and color of the contents are just like Dior's Maximizer. However, the taste (smell) is quite unique and I didn't really like it. It reminds me of grass... I used up the whole bottle as a lip balm when I'm at home. Other than the taste, it's fine, but I still don't like it, so I won't be buying it again.
