Happened to walk pass a Labiotte store when we were in Myeongdong, Seoul. I was unfamiliar with this brand but MG told me that this brand is popular for the Wine Lipstick and Lip Tint. So, we entered the shop to find out more about this brand.There are two types of Labiotte Wine Lipstick: Fitting and Melting. The Labiotte Wine Lipstick Fitting has a matte finish while the Melting leaves a sheen. I bought the Labiotte Wine Lipstick Fitting in Sauternes Red (RD04) and the Labiotte Wine Lip Stick Melting in Noir Pink (PK01). Bought products are reasonably priced lip product at KRW 16,000 (S$20).

The packaging resembles a wine bottle. What a cute packaging! On the top part of the packaging is a sponge tip applicator to define the applied lip colors. The cap of the sponge tip applicator tends to come off easily, which results in the sponge tip applicator being exposed. As a result, I had to tape the cap of the sponge tip applicator to ensure the cap does not fall off.  

Both Wine Lipsticks use the Smart Melting System to make the lips most beautiful at 28 degrees Celsius. Both the Fitting and Melting Lipsticks contains Chateau Margaux Wine Extract, which keeps the lips healthy. When I tried the Labiotte Wine Lipstick Melting, the texture was smooth and nice. The lipstick gently wraps the lips as wine ingredients reacts to the skin optimal temperature. The water grip emollient moisture coating film and stay-fitting polymers provides long-lasting color and moisture. The pigmentation of the lipstick was intense, and the lip color stays on well. The Labiotte Wine Lipstick Fitting has a creamy powder texture that gives off a velvet finish. Though it contains Wine Extract that is supposed to keep lips moisturized, Labiotte Wine Lipstick Fitting tends to accentuate dry lips. To prevent flaky lips, you would need to apply lip balm beforehand. For the Labiotte Wine Lipstick Melting, the texture did not accentuate my dry lips.

Overall, Labiotte Wine Lipstick is a good product that is highly pigmented and has a great texture. For those with drier lips, I would recommend the Labiotte Wine Lipstick Melting instead of Labiotte Wine Lipstick Fitting. For those that prefer a matte finish, Labiotte Wine Lipstick Fitting is recommended but remember to apply lip balm before applying the lipstick. Apart from the faulty packaging of the sponge tip applicator, this is a good lip product to carry on. It is long-lasting and stays on well, great for everyday wear.
