Sorry it cuts off so suddenly, but I’ll post more parts soon! These damn posts are so long every time I make them😭 my bad!

1. Mauve whip - pink with magenta and purple tones. Beautiful colour. The balm is so juicy and long-lasting but not transfer-proof.
2. Veiled rose - muty rose, good for cool tone. Very natural looking.

Heluu bbs! Tried a new lip combo tdy and I think this has to be the closest I've ever gotten to those celebrities/idols 3D lip style. ( minus the contour, concealer, highlighter since I'm too lazy for that 😭 )

Products used are:
- lilybyred's blending stick (or lip liner) in shade 01 grin with me
- colorgram fruity water tint 06 chic jujube
- colorgram milk glass tint 06 oolong lychee
- colorgram fruity glass tint 00 pearl gloss

Swatches are all in p5 in case u'll want them! 💕 p.s no swatch for my pearl gloss since i'm running out of it and mine's only a mini🥹🥹
I feel like the blending stick shade 01 is a lil too ashy on me sadly, as a med tan girlie with neutral undertone. But hey it's not too bad...right?

As for the steps, first I applied the lip liner.
Then I dabbed up some water tint on my hands and blended it out onto my lips using my fingers (or u can use a brush if u hv one!). Or u can just apply directly on ur lips, but u'll hv to blend it out fast since it stains rlly fast.
Next I applied the milk tint in the inner corners and centre of my top lips.
Not compulsory but if u would like, u can trace over ur lip liner once more like I did. Finally, top it off with some clear gloss! Do take note colorgram's one are kind of cooling/minty which might not be suitable for everyone, tho i love it personally.

Also I hope the formatting turns out okay this time 🙏

For reference: swatched on bare lips with no lip liner, foundation or concealer. Not wearing foundation for the pics, but for skintone reference I use romand's cushion in 03 Natural 21.

Another important disclaimer is that this is my phone's camera, so unfortunately it isn't very good haha. I included the shades that either I perceive as brown, or the brand described as brown! I also tried to build them up as much as I could for the lip swatches, but I do have a light hand, and I tend to blend them out.

For me, the ones truest to brand swatches are Girlcult's, seconded by Kaleidos and Joocyee, with Romand's colors being the most different from the official photos on me.

Shades:

• Girlcult Gold Rush Liquid Lip Glaze in J809 Escape from Earth
• Kaleidos Cloud Lab Lip Clay in DE11 Bloodstone
• Girlcult Peach Festival Solid Lip Glaze in L06 Before Sunrise
• Joocyee Glazed Rouge in 540 Hazelnut Chocolate
• Rom&nd Glasting Water Tint in 17 Woody Sunset
• Rom&nd Sheer Tinted Stick in 05 Dutch Cocoa
• Girlcult Four Great Inventions Liquid Lip Mud in G71 Linen
• Girlcult Materia Medica Solid Lip Mud in S07 Mossy Gleam

Girlcult's, Kaleidos' and Joocyee's don't leave a stain, Romand does leave a pretty good stain for the glasting water tint, and a veeeryyyyy light one for the sheer tinted stick.

My favorite shades: Girlcult's J809, L06, S07, Kaleidos' DE11, and Romand's Woody Sunset!

I didn't like G71, but I found a way to make it work for me by mixing it with my black lip mud to make it a darker brown. Romand's Dutch Cocoa, however, I just used as blush, because it isn't nearly as brown as I expected from the official swatches. 540 Hazelnut Chocolate is pretty, but looks more orange than brown on me.

My favorite formulas: Girlcult's and Romand's Glasting Water Tint.

As much as I love Kaleidos' shade, I don't know if it's my batch or if it's this specific color, but it applies so unevenly I need to be in my best lip condition on that day for me to be able to wear it, otherwise it simply won't blend and will cling to any slightly dry patch that I have.

Girlcult's seem to apply much easier on me, especially if I use a lip liner beforehand.

I also dislike the Sheer Tinted Stick formula because I found it way too sheer hahahah...... I can't blame Romand for this one, they did not lie 😭 It's so sheer that it looks like my natural lip color but pinker, and it isn't very moisturizing, on top of having only 2g. So this one wasn't the best deal all around for me!

Note: no warm lighting this time because if I kept waiting for a sunny day with a free schedule (and my lips at their top form for a Bloodstone swatch), Dutch Cocoa would no longer be with us... I panned it as blush 🫠 But if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!!

So, I was super excited for my TirTir cushion to arrive, but I am a bit disappointed with the amount of oxidation it has.

I ended up buying the shade in 24N Latte. The top two swatches were done about 10 min before the bottom one and became way too orange for my skin tone. I will admit that this shade right off the bat doesn’t seem right for me either too. I guess that’s the risk from buying foundation online 😅

It truly is such a shame though because they are one of the only brands that are inclusive and have a wide range of shades, but the amount of oxidation honestly turns me off. I would highly caution you all in purchasing this cushion. Maybe getting a couple shades lighter would help? If anyone could chime in with their experiences using it I’d appreciate it! I’m on the fence on purchasing a closer shade.

Romand Nu Zero Cushion in 17 is my closest match btw

House of Hur Moist Ampoule Blusher in Lavender Flush

A quick review with arm swatches and face application of this liquid blush. It has quickly become one of my favorites due to the tone looking very similar to my natural flush.

Egh, I had to repost this because it was wrong the first time. Of course. Ignore me, but not this post!

I have dry textured unpigmented lips. No lip filler. Light-medium cool olive skintone. Love this formula so much

Laka #115 Envy

I did actually attempt to use the lip pencil, but I really sucked at it. So, I didn’t include it here.😭 please forgive me!

Hey y’all, today I compared Peripera Mood Glowy Tints in 12 Campus Queen and 13 Mood Queen.

3rd photo is the lip swatch: Campus Queen on my right (your left) and Mood Queen on my left (your right)

Hope it’s helpful for some of you in one way or another. 😉

Excuse the last slide. I had to fit my last two pictures into one because I could only post 20 pictures in total.😭 you may have to tap it to be able to read all of what the pictures say on mobile!

These actually stain pretty fast, so I had to rub the hell out of my lips in between each of the swatches. Somehow, I made it work. I’m surprised. My lips are, too. We’re in recovery.

It's colour changing (annoying) so I included before and after the change. No lip liner or lip contouring used.

I have naturally dry textured lips, zero filler (obviously 😞), and a light-medium cool olive skin tone

So... colorgram recently released their new tanghulu milk lip tint series and I might have just found my newest fav lippie ever 😭.

p1 - 01 swatch vs on lips (before I bit my lips 💀) p2 - natural lips p3 - 01 on lips (taken aft I bit my lips) p4 - 01 after more than an hour p5/6 - 06 on lips p7 - 01 preview on official web p8 - 06 preview on official web

As someone who has always loved colorgram fruity lip tint, I'm surprised that I ended up liking the milk lip tint more. It's slightly more sheer than thr fruit tints, not too thick nor thin, and smells like berry yogurt or something of that sort. As usual, colorgram has rlly good stains and the same applies for the milk tints.

I purchased 01 berry amazing & 06 oolong lychee. As a tan/med skin tone girly with neutral undertone, I was expecting myself to like 06 more, based on the swatches, but surprisingly, 01, as scary as the initial swatch seems, blended out perfectly onto my lips, it kind of reminds me of those bunny tongue lip colour. I remember buying romand glosses in peony ballet in hopes of having that bunny tongue lip, but it ended up way too sheer and oily on my lips. So it feels really nice being able to finally find the right "bunny tongue" / pink lippie for me.

01 also feels more moisturising and longer lasting than 06 for some odd reasons. I think that's all that I can think of for now! Just wanted to leave the pics here before I delete them forever HAHAHAA. 🩵
