Last year I lost my go-to daily lipstick, YSL Rouge Volupte Shine, during a business trip to Phu Yen. Obviously, I can’t go out looking like a dead fish, so I happened to pick up this new lip tint at a random cosmetic shop there. It turned out to be the first lip-coloring product I ever intended to re-purchase the exact same one when I use it up.

Fast forward to 2023. I can’t believe I lost a lipstick (again!). Okay, it’s technically a lip tint, but for the sake of easy/lazy writing, let me just refer to all lip-coloring products as lipstick. I used this 3CE lip tint daily from Sep 2022 till Feb 2023, so I would have finished the bottle if I hadn’t lost it.

To celebrate my repurchase, say goodbye to the lost one, and welcome 2 new lip tints, let me list why I was madly in love with this product.

1. Youthful color palette (I’m so into MLBB trend these days)

2. Soft feel on the lips (the light texture and the blur effect is quite astonishing)

3. PERFECT STAIN color left on the lips, and non-flaking whatsoever when it dries

The only downside is their website swatch sucks! I can believe I purchased 2 different colors but got the same result on my lips. Look at the swatch I took 🤪 I might never return to high-end lipstick again. Why spend more money when I can get such lovely lips with just $15?

Read from left to right downwards: bare lips – 1 swipe – 1 swipe blended – full lips indoor – full lips with natural light – stain left (iPhone’s camera)

Conclusion:

Realistic swatch photo or not, 3CE blur water tint is still my favorite makeup purchase of 2022. SO HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️
