shu uemura Kinucare Glow Up (KG PK 388)

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.

This was the color recommended to me when I was applying my foundation. It's a subtle pink that's not too bright, and I immediately bought it after believing the beauty advisor's words that it "doesn't come off at all." It feels more like a soufflé matte than a glossy finish. It doesn't cause any severe peeling or stickiness, so I thought it was great. However, as some reviews have mentioned, the scent is a little strong, and while I didn't mind it much when applying it, it bothered me in my daily life, so I'm giving it 5 stars. I like the color, so I hope I can get used to it.

I usually use Candy Ginger and sometimes Apricot Caramel, but this time I bought the limited edition Apricot! All the colors are exactly to my liking, and they last a long time. Unlike lipsticks, they don't leave a thick, sticky finish and go on beautifully and naturally, so they're my favorites. The only thing I don't like is the smell...it's a bit grassy and herbal. It has a strange taste (lol). I wish they'd improve that. Also, it dries out a bit over time, so I wish they'd make it more moisturizing! I'm looking forward to a new release.

Kinukea Glow Up is so cute. Plum Jelly is my go-to, but the two shades I bought this time are soft and perfect for the coming season. They don't dry out my lips even when I reapply them, so I think I'll keep using them.

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!
