I already have the yellowish brown Encounter, so I thought I didn't need to buy it, but the blueish brown stuck in my mind and I ended up buying it. In the end, I'm glad I bought it. It's definitely different from Encounter. This lipstick's color lasts a normal amount, but it doesn't peel, the color is cute, and the price is reasonable, so I recommend it.
I'm a cool-winter cool-toned person with a complexion. I bought Elegant No. 7 and No. 5. With No. 7 alone, it absorbs the blue, giving it a natural, neutral, mucous membrane red color. Layering No. 5 adds blue and shimmer for a stylish finish that's not overly contrived, which I love. It's moisturizing, and the finish looks good even on rough lips, and of course it doesn't dry them out. And best of all, even for those with a sensitive nose, the lemon-based citrus scent is subtle enough to be applied, making it very easy to use. It doesn't bother me even when wearing a mask, and I hope it never goes away. It's a one-of-a-kind lip product.
I love Osaji's lip balms because they're so moisturizing and don't dry out my skin, and I've bought two other colors. The 10th one is a darker brown than I expected, and it blends in well with a quick application, but when I layered it, it gave off a trendy finish and didn't really flatter my complexion, so I don't think I'll be buying this color again.
I was looking for something with a subtle color like a tinted lip balm that wouldn't dry out, and I finally found this. I love its moderate moisture, color payoff, and shine. It's perfect for when you don't want to bother with a full-body primer or gloss, or when you want a quick, no-look application. Rather than being densely moisturizing, it feels like it smooths the surface, and I like that it doesn't feel oppressive. So far, I haven't noticed any peeling. I think the color is basically sheer. If you apply it thinking of it as a tinted lip balm, you might find the color surprisingly strong. Personally, I think of it as somewhere between lipstick and lip balm, and I love that it doesn't become too intense even with multiple coats. 09 Magic Circle: It's a stylish pink-beige with large, sparkling gold pearls, but it's not flashy; it's a cute pink that blends well with the skin and is easy to use. 2025 Holiday 32: Once in a Lifetime: The color was more vibrant than I expected, but it didn't stand out and is still cute in its own way. With two coats it was nice and shiny and beautiful.
