I find my bank balance hovering lower than the usual average these days, and I realize it’s because of my splurge in Korea a couple of months ago – ah well. The problems of being a beauty junkie. On the bright side, at least the sight of these are cheering me up. Just looking that (legit) duck face on this lipstick!😀
Now if each lippie had come with these cute figurines, you can bet your last buck that I’d have bought them all, but (thankfully) they didn’t, so I only selected one.
I say…
The Packaging: The usual plastic tube with a twist-out lipstick bullet. The cap of this is transparent, and the body has that adorable Sally duck face.
The Scent: A very slight fragrance.
The Texture: A lightweight, lip balm-like texture that glides across your skin. It doesn’t feel too greasy or sticky, and one coat is enough to give the lips some gloss and make it look a bit more hydrated. One coat gives a very slight and sheer pink tint, while multiple coats gives it the illusion of a very glossy semi-sheer lipstick with a bright cherry pink. The more you apply, the more hydrated your lips will feel – the top and bottom lips glide over each other all that easily.
The Verdict: Pretty packaging aside, this is actually a rather decent lip product. It gives sufficient hydration, helps cover up the appearance of dry chapped lips, gives a good color intensity (based on the number of coats), and even after it fades, there’s a very, very slight pink tinge as well as a very slight “film” over the lips that you’ll get whenever you apply lip balms. This is a regular item from Missha so you can still get your hands on it. I think it comes in a wide variety of colours, this GPK03 included.😀
