No shame if you uncork a (mini) bottle of DLM Wine… lip int. This Merlot fits into my handbag and doesn’t give me hangovers!
DLM Wine Lip Tint in Merlot Burgundy is a water-based hydrating lip tint…
which results irresistible if you like miniature, Korean makeup and – of course – wine!
The product: packaging
DLM Wine Lip Tint is contained in a tube that’s shaped exactly like a wine bottle with its foil label and colourful neck. It hides 8 gr. of tint and – by unscrewing the upper part – one finds a long and pointed felt applicator for a very precise application.
Formula & texture
This wine-inspired lip product is watery and lightweight and has both a fresh scent and feeling.
Shade & finish
DLM Wine Lip Tint in the shade Merlot Burgundy reminds of this rich wine: it’s an intense burgundy with a red undertone. It dries up with a semi-matte finish.
How to use:
Merlot Burgundy Wine Lip Tint by DLM requires one application for a good coverage. It has to be applied on exfoliated and moisturized lips, after removing any lip salve residue with a tissue to let the tint dry and stick to your lips. The colour can be build up but I recommend just one coat applied slowly to avoid any imperfection due to its consistency. It can be dubbed with a tissue for a subtle wash of colour.
PROS:
- great pigmentation
- buildable colour
- mild hydration
- fresh after feeling
- natural finish
- inexpensiv
CONS:
- lasting power
- extra care within the application
I like how customizable the result is, but its lasting power varies considerably depending on what you drink and how healthy – read smooth and hydrate – your lips are. It can last fully up to 3 hours to fade slowly. I’m wearing one coat of DLM Wine Lip Tint in Merlot Burgundy (RD03), paired with Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon in Fine(Wine) (#47) smudged as eyeshadow on my outer V: (no)alcoholic combination!
DLM Wine Lip Tint in Merlot Burgundy (RD03) is available online at TOSave.com for 2.26$ and it’s available in 6 colours reminiscent of DOC wines. At first, I struggled with an even application and its durability but I’ve quickly learnt how to master it. Do I like it? Hick… I want another sip! Cheers!
