Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Pack

I thought this was magic the first time I read it up. It's a smudge-proof lip tint that, after you let it dry on your lips for a few minutes, you peel off the outer layer to leave a clear stain of your desired color on your lip. 

And then, get this, it stays on without smudging anything and everything you love. This lipstick tattoo is resistant to water, sebum, sweat, chocolate, soup, kisses, and a zombie apocaplyse for all I know. The color stays for 12 hours, during which time you can do whatever you want without having to reapply lipstick. Glorious. 

Price

I bought this for $5.98, which is roughly RM25 on bbcosmetic.com. I've seen the same thing being sold on 11street for RM25, but shipping adds an additional fee of RM6 for West Malaysia and RM10 for East Malaysia. 

In comparison, bbcosmetic ships for free directly from Korea, so you have the advantage of knowing that you're definitely getting an original product. In addition, you get free samples with your orders. There's a 10% coupon code you can use to save on the order as well. Just enter C10T190S3 upon checkout to get the discount. 

Purchased from: BBCosmetic.com

Samples: Loads! A whole load! 

Delivery Time: 12 - 35 business days. 

First Impression 

Before: My lips before the lip tint. My lips do have a natural red tint to them, but my skin is fairly tanned, so it negates the natural redness.

Application: Getting it on was pretty simple. I applied the product directly on my lips and peeled it off after waiting 5-10 minutes. I was impatient and waited only 5. A lovely redditor testing putting the tint on overnight to see if it would leave a better stain/ have better staying power and found out that it doesn't.

After: Immediately after applying lip tint. It is really incredibly red, which is to be expected since I used the blood-red (virgin-red) option of lip tint. Applicaiton was a little messy and I ended up getting the tint all over my fingers since I clumsily tried to clean off the excess with my finger tips. 

Peeling was both effortless and painless, except for the part where I messed up and had lip tint on the inside of my mouth (where it's a little wet). Don't get any on the inside of your mouth (duh. :( ). The lip tint should come off smoothly and in one piece. 

Protip: Use a lip brush for application and apply lip balm after peeling off a lyer of the lip stain. ^^ It won't even stain your lip balm! So polite I love it. 

Post-Lunch: After lunch, which was approximately 6 hours later. It's still a little red, but most of the vivid color has gone away, which was good, since I felt a little too self-conscious with my lips being so bright red. 

As you can tell, my application was not the best, since you can see that the sides were more stained than the outer lip and the upper lip was darker than the bottom lip. Something to work on, but not too bad! 

Post Dinner: This was taken after dinner, approximately 12 hours later. Compared to my pre-tint picture, my lips was definitely still stained red. That's incredible!0

Now the only problem I had left was on how to get rid of the tint! I couldn't get it off with my normal oil cleanser, but I did apply lip balm on my lips prior to sleeping and the stain was gone the next day. 

Performance

The application was a little messy but I reckon it's one of those things you'd learn how to do perfectly after the first few times. ^^

Frankly, I'm blown away by how well this worked! I've never liked how lipstick stains everything I touch with my lips and how I'd have to reapply makeup after meals so this is the perfect solution for it. It says it's moisturizing, but I felt like my lip was drier the whole time I had it on. Luckily, I could just smear on my lip balm without worrying about that staining. Oh, I do love it.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• No staining on anything past application!
• Staying power is incredible
• Water-, food-, & generally life-proof
• Possible to layer other colors over the tint and apply lip balm
• Doesn't smell like anything and doesn't leave a sticky residue. You'd barely notice it's there. 
• 9 colors to choose from 

Cons:

• Takes 5 minutes to dry (seriously, this isn't even a complain as much as it is a PSA) 
• Hard to remove at the end of the day (but if you apply in the morning, you needn't worry about that)
• Touchups are hard and you need to apply it right the first time
• A little drying on your lip (just apply lip balm) 
• Once it's on, you're stuck with the color, so do test out the color before any important events!

Full disclosure: The only product I paid for in this haul was the Berrisom Tint. Everything else was sponsored by BB Cosmetic. None of the links are affiliated. Everything I've written reflects my personal opinion.

BBcosmetic.com

I saw this website quite by chance. It popped up during a discussion thread in /r/asianbeauty. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the source (it was lost the moment I closed the tab).

Truthfully, at first glance the site was lacklustre. It lacked the oomph and energy that some selling sites imbue their front page with. Instead, they have a very no-nonsense approach to their front page (white background with black font), which has it's advantages because the first thing I saw that they were having a Cosrx sale, which had me really excited. I am very curious about all things Cosrx and am constantly experimenting with new products. The sale brought their prices down to the lowest I have ever seen on any site (when you include shipping). It's an especially sweet deal because they offer free worldwide shipping. 

 A Little Background

AKA, Are they any good/trustworthy? Short answer: Yes.  

That led me to do a little digging. BB Cosmetic is based in Korea and has been in business for 5 years to customers all over the world. but they have a USA branch that allows them to ship items via USPS to buyers in Korea. This means their shipping time would be spectacular for those of you in the US. 

Nevertheless, it was really impressive for me in Malaysia too. Their staff boast impressive language skills, ranging from English and Japanese, to Russian and well, I'm assuming Korean. 

Tips & Tricks 

Like Jolse, this BBcosmetic has occasional sales featuring different brands. They do, however, go up to 30% instead of Jolse's 20%. Coincidentally, Jolse is having a 20% off all brands right now. A quick price comparison shows that BBCosmetics Cosrx Natural Skin Returning Emulsion is selling for $13.99 whereas Jolse is selling it for $15.20. Their Cosrx Natural BHA Skin Returning A-Sol is also selling for cheaper at $13.99 instead of $14.40. 

On the other hand, their low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is a tad more expensive at $9.35 compared to Jolse's $8.80. This is only one site though, so you do have to do more price comparisons to be certain that you're getting the best deal. I'm comparing BBcosmetic with Jolse since both sites offer free international shipping with no minimum purchase and I've bought from both sites before. 

Also, be sure to like their facebook page since they do flash 50% off sales for different items randomly once a day. The other day, they had a 50% sale off their Cosrx BHA and was selling it for only $10.50. I can't believe I missed that sale. They've also sold 15 Innisfree Face Masks for $8.99. The catch is that they only have 5 of this for sale at any one time. 

Update: They've discontinued this deal. :( 

Shipping & Packaging

USA buyers will get their orders via USPS and have a tracking number included. Their estimation is 3 - 10 business days. Orders over $140 gets free expedited shipping service. They have a warehouse in the states, which means shipping is faster for those of you there! :)

Everyone else won't have a tracking number unless you reach $40 and the estimation is about 12-35 business days. They had my package expedited. I ordered my product on the 16th and it arrived on the 22nd, which is ridiculously amazing. 

The box itself is quite sturdy and they have my box packed to the brim. The items were well protected though, as you can see, which was all that mattered. 10/10 packaging. 

Samples 

If you've read any of my posts, you would know that I'm a lover of sample products and from the samples given to me, I have to declare BBcosmetic my new favourite shopping site.

As you can see from the picture above, every purchase gets 2 The Face Shop Cushion Puffs, 1 Face it Power Perfection BB Cream Sample & 1 Blanclouding White Moisture Cream Sample. Once you reach the $30 threshold, you get an additional Lumilayer Primal (this is what I got).

I love that they let you know in advance exactly what you're getting. Personally, I love that they do this since the uncertainty is annoying for me. More often than not, I end up being disappointed by the samples given. In addition to the promised samples, I was given an Verite Ultra Moist Skin Watery Cream. I haven't gotten around to using most items from this haul yet, so reviews will have to wait until I've tested everything for a sufficient period. ^^

Orders over $50 gets a Makeup Pouch from The Face Shop and orders over $100 gets an additional Natural Sun Eco Sebum Control Moisture Sun 50ml from The Face Shop. I love that the samples stack up.

They've updated their free samples, which is still awesome. :) Link here.

My Haul

Here's what I ended up getting from BB Cosmetic (individual reviews coming up after a reasonable testing period): 

• Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Pack (Virgin Red) for $5.98 
• I was incredibly curious about how long-lasting this lip tint is. 
• The fact that it peels off and leaves your lip colored but doesn't stain is mind-blowing to me. 
• Cosrx BHA Skin Returning Emulsion & Cosrx BHA Skin Returning A-Sol $13.99 & $13.98 
• The A-sol I've been eyeing since forever since /r/asianbeauty lauds it as the best spot treatment for pimples. It also helps in controlling sebum production and clearing off dead skin cells. 
• It is recommended that the A-sol is used priod to the Emulsion, which works to deliver a light exfoliating effect and remove dead skin while providing hydration as well. It is designed with Centella asiatica extract water as a base and less liquidy than other Cosrx products I've tried. 
• Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch $7.98 
• This is pretty self explanatory. It's a non-irritating hydrocolloid protective patch for when you have acne wounds. 
• Cosrx Blackhead Silk Finger Ball $4.49 
• These 100% natural silk balls are used as gentle physical exfoliates, which is something I've been curious to try on my blackheads.  

Pros & Cons

Pros 

• Free Shipping and free tracking at $40 
• Gives a LOT of samples with each 
• Like I mentioned earlier, I love that they let buyers know in advance exactly what they're getting. 
• The picture above shows what you would get for one purchase on their site, which is ridiculously generous. 
• Competitive prices when discounted and mind-bogglingly amazing prices during the 50% off 
• Do remember to like and stalk their Facebook Page.
• Customer service is amazing. 
• I talked to one of their lovely cs, Chloe and she's been nothing but curteous and polite. 
• They're still relatively small and I always feel like you would get more care from cs from small business compared to bigger businesses where you turn into just another number in the pile. 

Cons 

• Some prices not as competitive, as proven above where some prices are still cheaper at Jolse.
• You'll also have to remember that Jolse does give credit for giving reviews, which I don't think BB Cosmetic is doing. They've started offering free credit for reviews!
• Do price comparisons. They definitely have better prices for some of their products, though. 

Conclusion

Do I like them? Yeah, definitely! I especially enjoy the 50% off sales. Those are fun to stalk especially if I end up getting a good deal. I actually got one the other day. A Holika Holika Wine Therapy Sleeping Mask for $6.45. It's insane.
