Review- Holika Holika Berry Jelly Tint-Korea Depart

Jelly tint? How interesting! Scroll down to read my thoughts about this cute tint from Holika Holika.

Holika Holika Holy Berry Jelly Tint 

Holika Holika Holy Berry Jelly Tint is a gel type lip tint; it provides a glossy finish and stains all at once. Vitamin derivatives and vegetable ingredients soften and moisturize, plus helps retain it. Collagen property increases synthesis of glycosaminoglycan, creating more plump and bouncy lips by increasing blood circulation. Tingles with a fresh cooling sensation from menthol ingredients. Create beautiful soft berry colored lips with this tint.

My Experience:

You can never beat Korean cosmetics when it comes to naming and packaging of a product. They are just adorable. The name "Jelly" and the bright orange shade was what attracted me to this one.

The shade I have is "peach berry" which got me a little confused since the tube was orange but when I swatched it on my hand it came out extremely sheer, more like a very light peachy shade. That's why they included the name peach. The tint is very sheer and the color doesn't show until you layer it up( obviously because it's a tint). 

I found the applicator of this tint to be quite unique. It's not your regular brush or sponge applicator but rather a very small and flexible spatula. This my first lip product with this kind of applicator. But amazingly it doesn't effect the application.It's as easy as the regular applicators.

The fun part for me was definitely it's scent and taste. It tastes exactly like mint and smells like it too. I so love it!. Not only that it also leaves a very cooling sensation on my lips which lingers on for a good amount of time. I'm obsessed with the mint taste and I just can't help eating it unconsciously which is pretty weird.

As far as the name jelly is concerned, It definitely doesn't have the texture of a jelly but it's very soft and smooth. They say it has fibroblast collagen which is supposed to increase the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan to make you lips appear fuller. I do feel my lips look more pouty but they do not increase in size. It's because of the high amount of gloss I think.

I also like the fact that it's fairly inexpensive. So your budget won't shake while trying this out.

End Note: Love this tiny tube! I have to admit I usually put this tint on just for the menthol flavour and the cooling effect on lips.
