Blend Berry Lip Balloon (104 Cool Cinnamon Red)

It applies like a lip balm, yet it's also incredibly glossy and long-lasting. It applies smoothly and has a slightly tingly texture, similar to Dior balms, but this one has better color retention. It's a great value, you can't beat the price. The vibrant color is a bit of a divide, but if you choose a basic office color, anyone can wear it, even with the vibrant color. It's a rare knock-type dispenser. The packaging feels a little cheap, but for this price and ease of use, it's perfect. The flavor is a bit similar to the Fortune series from KOSE, which has a slightly orange blossom-like flavor, but it's not as strong as Fortune, so it's tolerable. I really liked it, so I'd like to get a shade suitable for warm skin tones. 103 Fairy Tale Walnut (the first photo) is a very versatile coral beige. It adds a subtle flush to bare lips for a dewy, lustrous look. Perfect for office makeup, I highly recommend it. 009 Hotteri Lady Rose: A clear red with the color shown in the second photo and good staying power. It's more yellow than rose, making it easy to use. It has beautiful small glitters. Because it lasts so long, it seems like it would be best to remove it with a makeup remover or oil cleanser. 104 Naked Cinnamon Red: A very strong color. It's fairly close to the color on the packaging. The color is strong, but it's a muted cinnamon brown-red, so it doesn't stand out too much. In terms of color type, it's a color that blends well with earth tones, which would look best on someone with warm autumn undertones. I'm a warm spring undertone, but I like brown-reds, so I'll use it while keeping the overall balance of my face in mind.

I don't like glitter, so I chose 015 Shy Camel Orange. It's more reddish than I expected from the name Camel Orange. It's shiny and lasts well.

I love Blend Berry and own several shades. They have a nice plumping effect and a vibrant color, so I bought this. They came out with a new shade, so I bought this amazing baby pink. It's so cute! PS: I've been buying Omezame Nude Pink, but it's been out of stock on the Suzykirei website for a while, so I had no choice but to buy it on Amazon! Personally, I recommend Omezame Nude Pink over Baby Pink (￣^￣)ゞ. I prefer neutrals regardless of skin tone, and in the summer I used to use matte lipsticks, but even good matte lipsticks dry out my lips, so I've switched back to this for winter. You can also apply the color to the inside of your lips for a gradient lip. The best thing about this lipstick is that it doesn't dry out, it keeps you feeling moisturized, and it has a plumping effect that physically plumps your lips, so I really love it! I highly recommend it!

Before I knew it, I was buying the same color over and over again. Of course, I like the color, but I also love the cooling sensation after applying it. It's like a menthol-based lip product. I think I'll buy it again when I run out.

I bought this at Maison Kose because it was on sale for about 500 yen. It's made in Japan. I bought six shades. I used the lipstick images on the website as a reference, but it definitely didn't look the same on my lips. I think I'm a warm-toned spring type. The color is darker than it looks. My favorite is probably Baby Pink. The image looks light and smooth, but in reality it doesn't hide vertical wrinkles, and the color depends on your natural lip color, so it comes out darker on me. The limited edition Walnut Pink has cute, sparkly gold glitter, but after the color fades, the glitter remains and tends to look a bit dirty. I like the color, though. Mauve Brown didn't suit me. The Moist Pink also had a fairly deep color. Because it's a tint, even if you lightly blot it with a tissue, it leaves a little color on your lips, which is nice because it doesn't make your complexion look bad. It also has a sticky finish, so if you don't blot it with a tissue, it sticks to your mask. Also, it's a knock-out type, so once you take it out, you can't put it back in, which is a bit of a downside. But if you can buy it for just 500 yen, I think it's worth it to find a color that suits you. I'm glad I was able to try out different colors. I'll add the beige and dark chocolate colors once I've used them.
