If I could choose only one lip tint to bring with me on a deserted island then it would have to be the Mistine Dream Lip Tint. Not only because it's one of my favorite tints but because I'm sure that it will last me quite a while since it's really long lasting so I won't need to reapply all the time. But since that won't be happening, I could live with all my tints without having to choose just one! 😂

Mistine is a Thai cosmetics brand that you could easily find or buy anywhere in Thailand. The Dream Lip Tint is one of their famous products. I think I got mine from Eve & Boy or Boots then I restocked at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport while waiting for our flight back to Manila. 

I was actually looking for details such as in the Eve and Boy site and even on their official sites but I can’t seem to find this line anymore. Although I still found its price, 129 baht (around P195), in an old advertisement in Eve and Boy's Facebook account. I’m not sure if this was already discontinued or what but some Shopee stores still sell these between P300-400, which is quite expensive to be honest. 

There are three shades available: #1 Pink, #2 Orange and #3 Red. However, I didn't buy the orange one as this type of shade doesn't really suit my skin tone. 

The Mistine Dream Lip Tint contains 1.5g of lip balm and 3.2g of tint. One end contains the tint which is really pigmented and opaque. The other end contains the balm which is applied after and is supposed to seal the tint to make it last longer. The balm turns from clear to a pink shade once applied, which is very reminiscent of a magic balm. You can also buy a similar but separate magic balm product like this from Mistine which is their Pink Magic Balm in Strawberry.

PROS:

• Pigmented and opaque.
• Very affordable.
• Long lasting out of all the tints I’ve tried (The Saem and The Face Shop x Line Friends tints are some of the ones I really like as well in terms of color payoff, ease of use, price and longevity).
• 2 in 1 product: you get a lip balm and tint in one.
• Easy to use and apply.
• Smells fruity and yummy.
• Non-drying.

CONS:

• Easily available in Thailand but not here in Manila. You can get it via Shopee but at a more expensive price.
• Only contains little amount of balm and tint since the tube is halved to accommodate two products in one.
• There are only three colors available which are the three basic ones: pink, orange and red.

Here are the swatches of the Mistine Dream Lip Tints! I really hope Mistine could still bring this product here in Manila, at a more affordable price, especially since (I think) they already have an official local online store here! 💜

I've recently posted a video of my Lip Tint Collection on my Youtube channel so I decided to do a blog post for my readers here. Scroll down to read about it and to see what lip tint products are in my collection. You can also check out my vlog which I've linked at the end of this post. Enjoy and let me know what your favorite lip tint products are in the comment section! 😁

First up are these Etude House Dear Darling Gel Tint (Ice cream) in RD308 and PK004. I purchased these from my friend who bought two sets of these DD Gel Tints when she went to Korea. I got each for only P180. These smell and taste really good! The pink one fades easily while the red one lasts well enough.

Next are also from Etude House which are the Dear Darling Water Gel Tints (Renewed) in RD302, RD305, PK002 and PK003. Click HERE if you want to check out my review on these very affordable and tasty lip tints!

These next ones are, again, from Etude House and these are the Water Tints in 01 Strawberry Ade and 02 Cherry Ade. I purchased these cute tints at the Incheon International Airport during our trip to Korea. I think I only got these for only P160 each when converted. As the name suggests these are very watery so I don't find them to be very long lasting.

The next ones are the Saem Mousse Candy Tint in Raspberry and Jelly Candy Tint in Candylicious. Both of these lip tints are very long lasting especially the Mousse Candy Tint. These smell and taste really good too! These were also directly purchased in Korea by my friend. I specifically asked for her to buy these for me since they are so hard to find here in Manila. Out of all the lip tints I own, these the Saem tints are one of my ultimate favorites!

I purchased these next tints during a trip to Thailand and I'm so glad I did! Apart from the Saem tints, these Mistine Dream Lip and Tint (#1 Pink and #3 Red) are one of my favorites. These taste quite good and are very long lasting too. It comes with a magic lip balm on one end, which turns from clear to pink when applied, and the actual lip tint on the other end. The colors are also very vibrant although there are only three shades available for these lip tints (pink, red and orange). Unfortunately, it's quite difficult to find a shop that sells these tints here in Manila. 

The last tints in my collection are the: A'pieu Vitamin Oil Tint, Holika Holika Lazy & Joy Lip All Night Tint Drop the Cherry in RD04, A'pieu x Rilakkuma Lipstick in RD04 Milano, Mistine Pink Magic Lip Plus Vitamin E - Strawberry and Vtint Lip and Cheek Water Tint. 

I purchased the A'pieu and Holika Holika ones from Korea while the Mistine Lip Balm and Vtint Lip Tint were purchased from Boots and 7-11 Thailand, respectively. The A'pieu x Rilakkuma one isn't really a lip tint but I included it since I also use it for a gradient lip look similar to how I use my lip tints. 

These are the swatches of the lip tint products in my small collection:

Row 1: Etude House Dear Darling Water Gel Tints (Renewed) in RD302, RD305, PK002 and PK003.

Row 2: Etude House Dear Darling Gel Tint (Ice cream) in RD308 and PK004; the Saem Mousse Candy Tint in Raspberry and Jelly Candy Tint in Candylicious. 

Row 4: Mistine Dream Lip and Tint in #1 Pink and #3 Red; Etude House

Water Tints in 01 Strawberry Ade and 02 Cherry Ade; Vtint Lip and Cheek Water Tint.    Row 5: A'pieu Vitamin Oil Tint, Holika Holika Lazy & Joy Lip All Night Tint Drop the Cherry in RD04, A'pieu x Rilakkuma Lipstick in RD04 Milano and Mistine Pink Magic Lip Plus Vitamin E - Strawberry.

Hello and Happy New Year everyone! I've been missing in action for quite some time now but hope everyone is having a wonderful January so far! 😁

I’ve seen this Korean makeup brand, Romand, countless times on Youtube and on Instagram. Many rave about their lip products that’s why I wanted to test it out to see for myself. So to start the year off, I'll be reviewing these new lip tints I purchased from Romand. You can only get this online for the time being as they don’t have any physical stores here yet. But read on to find out why I found that it’s definitely worth the wait. 

The Romand lip products that I purchased are called the Zero Velvet Tints. True to its name, it's not your ordinary lip tint as they have a mousse type texture that leaves a velvety, soft finish as it dries. I was actually a bit confused since these feel more like a liquid lipstick compared to how regular lip tints I'm used to would. It feels slightly like it’s sitting on top of your lips - not in a bothersome way - which makes it not transfer-proof. 

There is a slight floral fragrance and taste to it. Not too strong and bothersome as it doesn't linger. However, if you’re looking for lip tints with great longevity then this won’t be your cup of tea.

The applicator is something new for me as well. It’s quite longer, more tapered and flatter at the end than what I’m used to. The tip is quite sharp which helps apply the product well enough.

 

The two shades I purchased are #04 Burnt Heart and #18 Petal Tassel. Some of their bestsellers based on what I've seen that are usually out of stock are the shades #16 Burny Nude and #17 Toasty Nude. I was really eyeing #14 Pecan Tarte and #16 Burny Nude but thought that the former was too dark for my current preference while the latter was already sold out.

Burntheart was love at first swipe and I didn't think it would be. The formula is very comfortable even though I didn’t think I’d like it at first because I was expecting it to be more mauve-y. But I still found the color very flattering on me so I was really happy about that. This is a reddish brown lip tint, which is the kind of shade that I think would look good on many skin tones. This shade got me really hooked at first swipe. 

Initially, I purchased Pecan Tart and Petal Tassel but my order got canceled. I then reevaluated the shades I chose and, as I've said earlier, found Pecan Tarte quite dark for my liking. I ended up buying Burnt Heart and Petal Tassel instead and I'm not regretting it in any way.

Petal Tassel is the perfect everyday, MLBB shade. This is a winner for me because the shade is mauve-y and, which you already know by now if you've been reading this blog for quite a while, is one of my fave shades of lip product. At first swipe it looks a bit light (as can also be seen on official swatches of Romand) on the lips but it oxides into a mauve-y, rose color. It is also very comfortable to wear but I find that I need to moisturize my lips well enough first to prevent it from accentuating any lines. 

UPDATE: Here are more swatches of these Romand Velvet Tints.

I love the velvet finish of these - something new and fun compared to regular lip tints I've tried in the past. I also like the fact that you can use it full on or for creating a gradient lip look. I find though that these appear darker on arm swatches than it would when applied on the lips so it was a bit trickier to swatch and show you.

I purchased mine HERE where the Zero Velvet Tints #1-17, including #04 Burnt Heart, are P395 each while #18-21, including #18 Petal Tassel, are P399 each. I've also seen their official shop in Shopee HERE, if you want to check it out although I haven't tried buying from them yet. The official store sells it at a much more affordable price but I was still able to buy mine cheaper because of vouchers and free shipping.

What's your most recent makeup brand or product discovery? Have you tried the Romand Velvet Tints yet? 😊
