This is the first time I've used up a lipstick, and I'm on my third one now. The base color is great, so I always apply this first before adding other colors. It goes really well with Ruby Woo too. People around me always ask what I'm wearing when I have this on. It looks pretty even when worn alone. If you apply it lightly, you can even wear it to school without it being too obvious. Just a light application gives a natural, pretty look that's like my own lip color. It's a fall-toned warm color, but even as a spring-toned warm person, I've used up two tubes of it. It suits everyone well and looks great in combination with other colors.

It feels like it settles into the lines of my lips, and sometimes it feels a bit suffocating. Compared to matte lipsticks, the staying power is not great. I didn't realize this until I noticed it wears off quickly, especially when I'm eating.

Using this lipstick as a base and then layering other colors on top creates a really beautiful gradient effect.

1. Can be used comfortably even for cool-toned skin I'm a winter cool-toned person, but my preference is for warm-toned. At the time of purchase, this product was not yet available at Olive Young, so I recklessly bought it just based on the photos. But this was the first time I successfully pulled off a brick-colored lipstick!! I was so happy, it was a eureka moment haha (* I had my hair dyed brown at the time.) 2. Affordable price Personally, I think 3CE lipsticks have good value for money, but the reviews here say the price is expensive ㅠㅠ The color range is as diverse as high-end brands, but the price difference is over 10,000 won, so I thought it was affordable haha I think this price for this color is quite good value. 3. Pigmentation is amazing I just keep reaching for this in the fall. The pigmentation is amazing. They really nailed the color. The vibe is no joke. I wonder why it's not part of the Mood Recipe series haha 4. Good lasting power, fades naturally After meals, it does fade a bit, but it fades naturally. After touching it up, as long as I don't eat anything, it stays on well. 5. Creamy inside, matte outside Even though it's a matte lipstick, it applies creamily!!! The smooth application is also a strength of 3CE matte lipsticks.

1. Difficult to purchase offline At first, the popular shades weren't that easy to find, but after being re-released as a collaboration product, they became harder to get. Offline was even more difficult, and having to buy online without being able to test it was disappointing. 2. Risk of emphasizing flaky lips For me, it was fine since I don't have a lot of lip flakiness, but for those with dry lips, it's likely to accentuate that. The application is good, but as a matte lipstick, the dryness is unavoidable.

During the sale period, the black-capped lipsticks were cheaper than the collaboration products.
