Review: SYLENANDA 3CE Velvet Lip Tint
So today, I will be putting the StyleNanda 3CE collection Velvet Lip Tint in the spotlight, probably one of the most well-known and trendy beauty Lip tints.
Hello, Friends! It feels really good to be back after long hiatus. I’ve been so busy with my work and other priorities and I haven't had the chance to do what I really love to do. This time, I promise to focus on working on my passion which is writing, and at the same time produce more blog contents that will help my readers find genuine happiness and inspiration in small things with great value.
Last Year, my friend Kristina gifted me four shades of 3CE Velvet Lip tints (Daffodil, Near and Dear, New Nude, and Going Right) that I had not yet tried because, honestly, 3CE products are very pricey or hard to get hold of. Needless to say, I enjoyed going through these four shades, trying new things, and finding something new to love.
Without further ado, let's start off with:
Facts
3 Concept Eyes or known as 3CE is a professional makeup brand of the Korean fashion label StyleNanda
Claims
3CE Velvet lip tint delivers a long-lasting soft matte finish to velvet-smooth.
Packaging
The details on the box are written all in the Korean language except for the shade.
Applicator
Just like other Korean brand lip tints, it has a standard doe-foot applicator that is easy to use and gets into the corner of the lips.
Container
The color of the container corresponds to the shade of the tint which is really good for me since it makes it easy for me to pick what I want to use.
Texture
The tint feels really nice on my lips. It has an almost ice cream-like texture due to its creamy finish.
Smell
3CE velvet lipstick tints have OMG herbal/organic scent and flavor. Not so pleasing but manageable.
Colors
#NearandDear, #Daffodil, #NewNude, #GoingRight
Price
950.00 PHP (BeautyMNL)
Swatches
Forgive me, the photo might be a bit blurry but it really gives justice to the colors. Take note, I didn't use any filter here. To really test the product, I didn’t prep my lips before putting it on and the result is pretty much the same with other velvety lip tints, it dries into a matte finish.
Verdict
My initial impression about this product was that it would dry like Peri Pera Airy Ink Velvet. After putting it on my lips, I can honestly say that it has failed to live up to my expectations. Yes, it is smooth on the lips and glides very well; I also like the velvety feel, but unlike Peri Pera Airy Ink velvet, it tends to make my lips more chapped and dry. The lip tint is not hydrating. Nonetheless, I still love it because, out of all the lip tints I have ever tried, this product is pretty worth the price because it gives a perfectly natural finish for fair-skinned and morenas. It fades beautifully, pigmented; the shades are wearable and super lightweight.
Overall, I would recommend this lip tint but you must prepare your lips first with lip balm to achieve a velvet-dreamy finish.
