The Face Shop Black Label Lipstick in Lady Wine (437) - Review

I was contacted by the lovely people over at q-depot with the opportunity to review one of the lipsticks from The Face Shop. I chose the shade Lady Wine to try and get out of my comfort zone a little. (I passed up corals and pinky nudes!) This is my first time trying a lipstick from a Korean brand, but I have used skincare products from The Face Shop in the past.



Lady Wine is a deepened berry red, with a warm undertone and hints of pink. There is a decent amount of silver shimmer, enough for a hint of pearly sheen but not enough for a metallic finish. The lipstick has a fruity scent which disappears quickly after applying. Application is smooth with no tugging or skipping. On the lips, the lipstick feels slightly gritty, most likely due to the shimmer. The formula is light with some slip, and it did not feel drying during wear. I had no issues with bleeding or feathering.

I experienced a lot of transfer during wear, especially while eating or drinking. Reapplying was easy enough, adding another layer of lipstick did not disturb the layer underneath. I did experience some fading on the inside of the lip, bad enough that it was noticeable and I needed to reapply. This shade did not leave a stain. Overall, this lipstick was easy to apply and wear, but isn't really good for situations where you need a lipstick to hold fast all day.

Pros:
  • No bleeding or feathering
  • Non drying
  • Smooth application
Cons:
  • Prone to transfer
  • Slightly gritty feeling
  • Fades on inner lip

Korean Skincare Haul from RoseRoseShop

I'm trying to cut down on my beauty spending for the year (hahaha I'm funny...) so I decided to kick off the year with the only large skincare haul I should need. I fell down the rabbit hole of Korean skincare last year, so I placed my order with RoseRoseShop. RRS has a huge selection of skincare to cosmetics to cute phone cases, and the prices are suuuuper cheap. Shipping is a bit steep, but they charge by weight - so don't order too many heavy items! (Unlike me.)

I've gotten to use a couple items from my order so far, but not many. I ordered a ton of toners, but I'm currently using the toner I got with my Beautylish  lucky bag last month. I'm almost done with my bottle of face wash, and I'm excited to crack open the new face wash I got with this order. Let's show off my haul, shall we?
