Hi everyone! I just went to South Korea for a short holiday! I went to Myeongdong every night haha and of course I came back with a large haul of Korean cosmetics ho ho ho. I just got back today and will be blogging on all the stuffs on got shortly!

But first I am excited to introduce you to the newly released Creamy Tint Lip Mousse from Innisfree’s Spring 2014 collection. Seriously Seoul is so cold right now [like max 5 degrees and min -7 degrees] I can’t believe the Spring collection is already out.

This is so new that I literally saw the sales set up the display and put the testers up! The testers were so new that they were still wrapped. [I had to come back the next day to do the swatches because I didn’t dare to open up the testers.]

I wasn’t sure if I am allowed to take photos inside the shop so I quickly swatched them all on my hand and walked outside the store before taking the photo lol.

I am not sure why it is called a “mousse” actually. There is nothing moussey about this. It’s just like a lip gloss. I find the texture is the same as the Vivid Tint Rouge. Maybe it will feel different when I actually use it. I will let you know when I find out. Update: I have now tried the lip mousse and can telly what the difference is. See review below.

The Innisfree website said

3 and

5 are the best colours so I ended up buying

3. It comes in the usual Innisfree packaging. I don’t know why a lot of people comment that they don’t like the Innisfree packaging as it is so plain. I really like it! I find that it looks quite classy!

The photos with me wearing the Innisfree Creamy Tint Lip Mousse

03 are taken indoor but with sunlight shining throw glass wall. The lip mousse dries matte and you can see from the photo there is no shine. I only put on one layer of the product.

03 is a nice coral red. It is actually brighter and redder than that in real life, just doesn’t show through as well in photos.

Colour: As with other Innisfree lipsticks and tints, the colour payoff is excellent! The colour is really pigmented! From experience I find Japanese lipsticks provide more subtle sheer colours but South Korean products are really vibrant! If you get a red lipstick you are really getting red red lips! So far I only have

03 and the colour is a really nice coral red.

Finish and texture: The difference between this and the Innisfree Vivid Tint Rouge is that this dries matte! The Vivid Tint Rouge is like a gloss finish whereas this one is like a matte lipstick but in liquid form! I am loving this so much! I don’t like glossy finish stuffs because I feel like they make my lips look weird with the shine but this one…gonna say it again, it is completely matte! No shine and no pearly finish. Just matte.

On application it is creamy but it is not sticky at all once it dries. When I say it “dries” I mean the product is dry to the touch but it doesn’t dry out your lips. I don’t have any issue with it accentuating any dry lines and I didn’t need to put on any lip balm prior to its application.

It is a “tint” so the colour doesn’t rub off easily and lasts a long time. I don’t know if it lasts after you eat though because I have a habit of wiping off lip products prior to eating.

Application: This product is extremely pigmented so a little goes a long way! You can use the applicator straight from the bottle. Be careful though when you put it on not to colour “ouside the line” of the lips. It is a tint so it is hard to rub off if you make a mistake. It will leave a mark where you wipe it off. How do I know? I was putting this on in the car and it went off… not the lip mousse’s fault.. just me.

Overall: I really like this product! The colour payoff is so good and I just love it that it is matte. And I dunno but Australia tends to be really windy and when I go out with lipstick, wind always blow my hair everywhere and it gets stuck to my lips if it’s sticky. But no problem with this product! I will probably go and buy other colours now. Love it! But still dunno why it is called “mousse” lol.

PS I thought I might post this as well. After I finished taking the photos I wiped the tint lip mousse off my hand with the Innisfree Apple Juicy Emulsion Lip & Eye Remover. Just 3 squirts on half a piece of cotton swap, gave it a good wipe and it’s all off! Works pretty well!
