shu uemura Kinucare Glow Up (RD 176)

It's full of shine and makes your lips look plump! It feels light when you apply it♪♪ It adheres tightly to your lips, so it doesn't come off easily and doesn't dry out your lips. It's great for this time of year, and there are so many color variations that I want to try collecting other colors too!

The sheer color is easy to adjust. It gives a smooth lip. It doesn't stick to the cup and doesn't come off when you drink. It leaves a shine and doesn't look fluorescent after it comes off like tints often do, so I really like it. The color I received as a gift is a brown for cool undertones, so I thought it might not suit me, but when I applied it thinly, it looked pretty good. It smells like perfume. It's a bit bitter when you put it in your mouth, so that's a minus.

I purchased 343 Apricot Strobe. It's a cute, spring-like color like strawberry jam. It's not matte, but it feels smooth and matte after application. The color is sheer and light. It can be layered over other stick-type lipsticks. I found the color to last longer when I applied it over other lipsticks. Personally, I found it to be drying. It's best to moisturize before applying. Or, you can layer it over a gloss. As others have said, it has a strong smell (taste), so I recommend trying a tester first.

I bought the Holiday Pearl Cut Pink. It's a nice pink to wear. You need to reapply it after eating or drinking, but it's cute.
