[Review] Holika Holika Holy Berry Tint in #01 Strawberry

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well. I just turned in my bachelor thesis and it seems like I'm done with university oO Strange feeling...

Today I have a review of a lip tint for you (that could turn out to be a little bit emotional/rant)

What they say:
Water Dispersion System
You can tint lips with cool and moist feeling, once you
apply Holy Berry Tint that contains plenty of water.
Sweet & Sour Berry Tint
Watery colors make bouncy and blooming lips.
Berry Complex maintains healthy and moist lips
(You have to love kingfish descriptions XD)

Texture:
It's a water based tint so the consistency is like water.

Smell:
It smells like strawberry - very sweet but a tiny bit artificial. It tastes rather bitter though, that's not that nice..

Packaging:
Now here comes the rant. The bottle itself is made out of plastic but quite nice since it's see through. BUT!! It's leaking!! Why in God's name would you make a bottle that leaks? I took it with me once an got a stain on my makeup pouch. Not cool... I also read on other blogs that other people experienced the same so this seems to be a common problem...

Swatch on my hand

 without anything

With lip stain applied

Effects:

The color is very nice but natural. It dries up pretty fast and I like that you can apply a lip balm on top once it's dried without losing too much color. Sadly it only lasts for about 2-3 hours, even less when 

you're eating and drinking. And since you can't bring it with you (the leaking -.- ) it's really inconvenient. Really sad, because I am quite fond of the color and texture.



Repurchase:
No.

You can buy it here on testerkorea or here in roseroseshop for 4000 Won

Pros: sweet smell, natural color, water based, cheap

Cons: not very long lasting, packaging is leaking

  

Overall: 2.5/5
