SHISEIDO ColorGel Lip Balm (103)

I wanted the limited edition Inui No. 14, but while I was deciding, it sold out... I was looking for something similar, and then I found this! It's a lip balm, so it doesn't have much color. It's a faint whitish bluish pink. The color isn't too bold, so I personally prefer sheer types like this.

The color is exquisite and the lily texture is smooth and nice. It's also moderately moisturizing. I'm used to tints, so I feel like the color doesn't last as long.

Cute colors

I have sensitive lips that peel easily. Most foreign lipsticks irritate my lips. This one didn't! It's highly moisturizing, but No. 106 also has great color payoff. This color instantly brightens my skin tone! I'm so grateful to the salesperson who helped me choose it; it makes my skin look whiter and more toned! I usually prefer browns, dusky pinks, and deep lipsticks, but this lipstick made me realize that bright reds are also great for me in my 50s! By choosing a color that flatters my skin tone rather than my favorite color, wrinkles and sagging skin are less noticeable, and even my facial expression looks more vibrant! I've placed a marker in the photo to give you an idea of ​​the size. It's quite compact and doesn't take up much space in my pouch. It's a relatively affordable lipstick, with just the right amount of shine, adhesion, moisturizing power, and color—it's perfect! I'm so glad I bought it!

The intensity of the color varies depending on the color, but they're easy to apply, the packaging is cute, they don't dry out, and the color lasts for quite a while, so I can recommend them ⇒ Both of the colors I purchased are recommended for summer cool-toned skin tones, and 109 does develop a purple hue when layered, but I felt like it needed a bit more depth, and it just didn't feel quite right for me.
