Make-up Review: Clio Lipnicure in Shocking Pink

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Another makeup review with a Korean brand called Clio, this is my first product from this brand albeit I do have a curiosity in their eye products especially their gel liners but never got around to purchasing them and try them out.

I bought this lip product from Lipnicure, not just because of the cute packaging, just like a nail polish. But because of the durability of this lip product, I was swatching these lipnicures at my nearest Guardian and I was just checking out their pigmentation, they are as you can see very pigmented and when I swatched them, I usually let them set on my hand and then while I'm out and about, try to remove these swatches. I can tell you this, THEY DO NOT BUDGE AT ALL!

Let me indulge more on the review later on. but look at the applicator, it's doe-shaped applicator with a concave on the other side. I feel this shape is weird applying the product but nonetheless, not that difficult, I still can maneuver the applicator with no feathering and uneven applications.

As you can see from the swatch, it is a very nude but bright coral, I seriously don't know how to explain this color, although it says it is Shocking Pink but it leans more coral than pink.

It applies matte, as you know in the beauty world, people are now crazy for matte liquid lipstick. However the texture of this product is quite tacky, there's little transfer but it is so tacky that it feels uncomfortable to wear it out, also, you should scrub your lips before application as it really clings to your dry areas and it does not look good if you have dry lips, so smooth lips is the way to go.

This stuff can be drying so what I like to do is apply a lipbalm like a sandwich i.e. using lipbalm underneath and above the lip product, kinda defeats the purpose of getting a matte lip but somehow that's the only for me to make this product work. I wished I bought a darker color than this one as I can't seem to find the life in me to use this as often as I would. A repurchase? I would, if they could remove that overwhelming floral musk scent. I swear I could inhale and taste the scent.
