REVIEW: 3 Concept Eyes Lip Lacquer Super Coral

~AG~

I bought this 3CE lip lacquer when I was in Taiwan. I cannot remember exactly how much I bought it for, but it was less than USD $15. I was really looking forward to try it because my sister, MG, said their lip products are popular. I decided to go for Super Coral because the orange-pink shade looks beautiful.

So what are my thoughts on this lip lacquer. I absolutely do not like it. 

Why? 

1) The color does not go on smooth. You have to scrub and moisturise your lips well before putting this on. 

2) It is so drying and causes my lips to flake like crazy.

This makes it a not user friendly lip product for me. I like lip products that are moisturising enough on its own, without the need for lip balm beforehand. 

This lip lacquer comes with a sponge tip applicator. The tip is slightly angled for a more precise application. 

Even though this lip lacquer is well-pigmented and the shade is nice, you have to prep beforehand to have a nice application which is such a hassle. I will not recommend this product. It is not worth the money. They are lip products that are more worth the money such as Stila and NARS.

3CE Lip Pigment - Mellow Pink

~AG~
I saw this 3CE lip pigment while in Taiwan last week. My younger sister, MG, had recently bought some of their products. I also had seen one of my friends uploaded a picture of her 3CE purchase on Facebook. When I asked them, they told me that the 3CE brand is a popular Korean brand with Korean celebrities. This made me even more interested. In Taiwan, I saw 2 beauty stores that carried 3CE products. One store is called, Little Three, and the other store is called, 86. These stores have several outlets throughout Taipei. The Little Three store that I went at ZhongXiao DuanHua area had a larger selection of 3CE products. The lip pigment retailed for TWD $399 (US $13), which is reasonable for a lip product. Korean products sold outside of Korea then to have highly inflated prices. 

Anyway, I decided to try this lip pigment. The shade I chose was Mellow Pink. It is a light natural color. The sales assistant said this was the most natural shade out of the lip pigment selection. The idea is for the user to buy different 3CE lip pigments, and then mix&match them to get a desired shade.

I can't wait to try it out. It seems like a fun product to use, and hopefully it will flatter my medium skin tone. I will post a review of it once I've tried it.
