Nature Republic Pure Shine Melting Tint

Where I got it: I ordered this on eBay for NZD$7.03 on 10/1/17 and it arrived on 7/2/17 with free shipping direct from Korea.

What I got: This is Nature Republic Pure Shine Melting Tint in #5 Cherry Orchid. Also comes in 4 other shades. Website says: “Pure shine melting tint to give vital beautiful lip express. One touch gives clear colour for long hours”.

How I find it: I had really underestimated the pigmentation of the lip tint and how smooth it glides onto the skin! I only did a really soft swipe for the swatch and as you can see in the image above, it is INTENSE! It feels moisturising, it looks glossy and not sticky or heavy at all. This is the darkest shade they come in and I really love it. 

I have experimented different ways to use this: 

1. As an intense lip shade by applying this evenly onto my lips (don’t even need a lip liner!). 
2. As a lip tint by applying this with light dabbing motion, wait for a few minutes and wipe off.
3. As an ombré lip look by applying this darker shade on the outer edges or corners of my lips, then apply a lighter or brighter shade to the centre and blend.

Overall: Really impressed by how smooth and pigmented this is. I really need to dab the product onto my lips and blend with either my fingertips or a sponge to create a softer effect. It is very versatile on how you can create an intense lip look or a soft lip tint look or even an ombré look. An interesting thing with this packaging is that I was expecting a twist up but instead it’s a click-pen type which I can’t really see how much product is in here until I use it up.
