  Pros

  The matte formula is impressively long-lasting... as long as you don't eat anything, and just take good care of your lips, it should last until the evening without any issues. And the color payoff is just incredible. I can see why Western ladies love these kinds of matte lip products... Unique lip color shades (like low-chroma or pastel primary colors) are hard to get full coverage with unless they have this kind of matte texture. This one really delivers on the pigmentation. As you might expect, this is a lip color for fun in Korea. For my own satisfaction... haha I did buy the black one because I wanted to have it, but of course I can't really wear it out. Maybe for Halloween or cosplay? But it's not a true black, it's more of a really appealing purple-black color that makes my face look so pale (haha).

  Cons

  The formula is extremely drying and matte. It really emphasizes any flakiness or unevenness on the lips. Simply wiping it off with a tissue is absolutely impossible. You have to use a cleansing product or something oil-based to properly remove it, and even then it might make your lips feel raw. And as you can see, the ingredients aren't great either. As expected (haha), yep (haha). Since it's so matte and the formula isn't great, you really have to be diligent about lip care and moisturizing. It's obviously a very difficult color to apply easily... it's way too much for a regular person like me (haha). And the same goes for the other shades - even just a tiny bit of smudging makes it look like a total mess on the lips.
