Most Helpful Positive Review Ahh I love it! Wow, I love this. I don't like lipsticks because they're far too cakey and I just can't do certain textures. Even liquid lipsticks and crayons don't really do it for me. I've been searching for a proper lip tint and I think I finally found it. I wish they had Fig and Cherry in stock, but they didn't at the time I purchased it so I got Pomegranate and it is sooo pretty. It had a really interesting application texture. Definitely feels wet going on, but dries very quickly without drying out your lips. And I have naturally dry sort of lips, so this is amazing. The shape makes it easy to apply and do different techniques if your into the whole ombre lip thing or a full lip thing or whatever. I probably have dry lips because I tend to lick and bite my lips as a nervous habit, so taste is something that goes into my reviews of lip products and I'm happy to say that for once there is a lip product that does not have a disgustingly bitter taste. In fact, it tastes like pretty much nothing. If you let it sit on your lips for a few minutes and then apply some lip balm or other clear lippie thing to bring some moisture into the equation, it doesn't slide off onto the other product like other lip tints I've tried have. I work 12 hour shifts and it stayed on my lips for 8 hours of sweating, eating, drinking, talking, and nervously biting my lips, as well as reapplying my lips balm. That dude STUCK through some stuff with me and I've never had a lip tint that doesn't fade within an hour. So I really love this product. I highly recommend it.
Most Helpful Critical Review Colors are DIFFERENT from the pictures From the other reviews, I noticed that these tend to change color on people. I'm guessing it's based on the individual PH balance.
I originally bought the Fig based on the picture, (FYI I'm half Japanese and Chinese decent, fair to medium skin tone).. On me, it came out very orange-y on me! It didn't fade nicely into a softer color. Luckily Ulta took it back and I purchased the Cherry (on line). It is still rather bright on me, not as orange-y, but one swipe and it gives a bit of color that does wear into a nice pink. I may try one more to see if I can find a shade that is like the color of the fig swatch.

Great lip tint / lip stain 5
Jaci from Illinois
I love lip stains and this is just what I was looking for. This product is sheer but also buildable, is neither shimmery nor too matte, and it sets nicely once dried, but doesn't accentuate any dryness in your lips like other lip paints. I ordered this product in Grapefruit because I usually prefer orange and coral tinted pinks; The grapefruit reads more pink than coral on me, but I'll definitely try other colors. Would love to see this product in less vibrant colors like nudes, etc
such a good product 5
Elizabeth from South Carolina
I've bought like 6 of these! I just love them. I'm going to grab another one today, I plan on getting Cherry. Not drying. The perfect amount of color pay off. Every color I have tried has been lovely.
Holika Holika Plum Water Drop Tint Bomb 4
whatapeach33 from Concord, CA
This is a nice tint, not as good as the other tints from this line. The color was a nice plum that could be built up a bit. The application was a little patchy when swiped on like regular lipstick/gloss, so a little more care had to be used for even color. It did have a nice water feel to it, similar to a water bomb lotion. Once the initial tint wore off the left over tint was nice and lasted a few hours.
Love it 5
Ember from California
goes in very easily. moisturizing and adds great lasting color.
I really love this stain! 4
Lilly from Branford CT
There is little transfer once you let it dry. It doesn't smear under clear gloss. It applys so well! I should of got more colors than just strawberry, you can see why it sells out because its good stuff!
A little pricey but still good 3
Maybe pass from Bellevue
I love the pomegranate color! I used a chapstick underneath and this baby lasted most of the day. The best part, no chapped lips and easy reapply. Just wish it was cheaper.
Misleading Color Swatches 2
SophieSue from Turlock, CA
I really wanted to like this as I love a good stain/tint however the color was terribly off from the color swatch shown. Application was good and it definitely stained but the color was so bright! There wasn't anything mauve or nude about it.
Soooo Cute 4
Dan from Seattle
I'm obsessed with these! I started with just one and now I need to order more colors! I can easily see how these would NOT be for everyone, but they are exactly the type of minimal beauty product I love.
It's hard to exactly describe how they feel gliding on, but the "Water Bomb" feel very appropriate. They slide on and feel almost a little wet (not glossy, wet) in a way that I think is quite pleasant. The color is subtle and blends with your natural lip tint softly to make a really natural look. They don't last all day like a stain, but the color does hold up on the lip better than it feels like it should based on consistency, and I don't get any color transfer when drinking from a glass or kissing.
It's okay.😕 2

The color doesn't last long at all and it feels sticky.

I ordered for Fig and on the photo it looks kind of pink to reddish but when I used it, it was more orange-y than pink or red.
Staying without Drying 5
Lexa from Illinois
This stuff is great. It feels like water absorbing into your lips, and then the color just stays. It has the staying powder of liquid lipstick without the drying cracking side effect. Love it
LOVE THESE!!! 5
BKashLYN from NYC
I got two of these beautiful tints in Grapefruit and Plum after seeing swatch reviews on YouTube and I do not regret it a bit. The colors are exactly what I was looking for with my skin tone. I am quite pale with dark hair so I didn't want something too bright. The pigment is great and it feels of a cool light sensation as soon as you apply it to your lips. Now, the big question. Does it last? YES IT DOES. It stayed on the entire time I wore a face mask outside, drank iced coffee, and ate a croissant. It was still there. The more you apply, the darker the color and the longer it'll stay. Very minimum touch up's.

Marissa from New Jersey
I ordered the tint in fig and it is so so pretty! Such a beautiful shade and it's so light weight, I can't even even feel it on my lips!
lovely tint 5
Noemi from Texas
I got fig it's just what I wanted. I'm not much of all full on lip I like something that you can't even feel this is that product. When you put it on it feels like water and leaves a tint you can build it up to get a more opaque look and it tints your lips so happy gonna get more colors

Patchy and Deceiving Swatches 2
Disappointed Asian from United States
Like other reviewers, the swatches do not match. I ordered Fig, Cherry, and Pomegranate. Fig is bright pink, Cherry is a reddish pink, and Pomegranate is orange. I am Asian, so K Beauty usually works well for me. However for this product, I was disappointed with the shades. Aside from the colors not matching up, it is patchy on me. It is hard to get an even application. The texture literally feels like water which is unique, and then dries down which is nice. The teardrop makes it easy to line and fill in your lips. The price is mid to low range, but not worth it for me. Still trying to figure something to make them wearable and work for me.
I love 5
Mo from ABQ, New Mexico
It's such an interesting lip tint formula! Really does feel like you're putting water on your lips, but dries down matte. Lasts forever. I also love that it's sheer, but can be built up in opacity. Will repurchase!
Like nothing I've tried before 5
Saff from Chicago
Like others have noted, this feels cool and wet when it first goes on, and dries down to feel like there's nothing on your lips.
The shape of the tube makes precise application really easy.
I have Cherry (a lot redder on me than the photo) and it's a little drying and patchy, like any stain, so I like to wear a tinted lip balm on top. I've also used it on top of a liquid lip for a reddish tint, which looked cool but again, pretty drying. (But not as bad as you might think for two dry-down products on top of each other)
I would definitely purchase other shades and experiment with wearing them either under or on top of other products.
bright 5
Squeak from ohio
I bought Pomegranate Water and it is a bright neon red. It does have a nice cooling effect when applied. If your looking for subtle, you might want to do a light-handed application then blot with a tissue. I am planning on getting a few more colors.

Fig and Cherry 5
TammyJo715 from Arkansas
Initially goes on with a wet cooling effect. Dries down to a quick matte tint with no stickiness feeling or taste. Feels like there is nothing on your lips which I find to be a good thing... but the color is very sheer on me unless I build it up. The colors look NOTHING like the pictures being shown. I have fig and cherry which I find both to be a quick 'natural lip tint' enhancement. Colors can be build-able or topped with a gloss for added shine. I actually like these a lot, they are quick and easy, can be built up, and are quite long lasting and are well made.....
What is this witchcraft? 5
MiraMira42 from Philadelphia, PA
I've never used a product quite like this before. Granted, I haven't used a lot of K-beauty products, but this one still seems different from what I know of others. The formula is fascinating - it's very cooling and gel-like going on, but dries down quickly with no residue. The biggest thing to be careful of is that it does change throughout the day: Grapefruit went on as an orange-pink like I expected, but turned into a more subtle rosy pink after a few drinks. Still, I wasn't expecting it to wear well enough to withstand liquids at all, so I'm quite pleased. Definitely interested in trying more!
Ugh no - it's orange! 2
PopTart from Las Vegas
I bought fig think it would be more reddish / it's ugly orange. Yuck! What a waste of money. Will Ulta accept a return for something used but disliked?
