| LR05 is the very first shade. |
There was recently a huge hype of Laneige Intense Serum lipsticks, due to a South Korean celebrity who wore it on a hit-TV drama. She always came out with the glossiest kinds of lips, and the supposed secret was the Laneige "Serum Intense" lipstick. It gives all the gloss a lipgloss would give without using a lipgloss. No stickiness. And no extra money spent on having to layer a lipgloss on top of a lipstick. One lipstick does it all.

Laneige is a sister-brand to Amore Pacific which is hitting huge in the US markets. You've probably seen them in Sephora stores everywhere. Laneige is lesser-known, especially for makeup. This lipstick is actually the first makeup I've tried from their brand.
The Serum Intense is a serum injected hydrating lipstick that gives full pigmentation and amazing hydration. The product description says this is a LED lipstick that gives off a glow while making skin look clearer. Even when you dab the lipstick on, it gives you a lovely tint.
The shade that went pretty much out-of-stock everywhere was the shade "Neon Orange". The shade I settled for was "Flash Pink" (No. LR05). The shade is a pretty bright pink, that isn't too shocking to wear. If you are more tan, the color will probably look more vibrant. But color aside, I am in love with the formulation and the vibrancy of the color. I would love to try other shades if they were more accessible here in the US.

I love that it is super glossy, as though you wore lipgloss on top of a lipstick. It is rich in moisture and makes the lips look fuller because of the shine that the lipstick gives you. Shall I say, it gives dimension to the lips. And I love that unlike a lipgloss, this lipstick is water-infused, hydrating your lips while giving you vibrant pigmentation. I love how it's not just hydrating when you have it on, but also as it wears off, it doesn't crack your lips (I find Revlon lip butters to be a bit like that).
What I love about this lipstick is in summary: GLOSS/Shine + HYDRATION + INTENSITY in Color.

Comparable items:
- Shu Uemura "Rouge Unlimited" (see here). Similar in pigmentation and hydration but Laneige is glossier
- Revlon lip butters is similar in that it is glossy and buttery, but Laneige is more hydrating!
Interesting product! Heard not much about it on blogs but after my huge disappointment of what their 'bb cushion' product is like...I'm not a fan of the product at all, such a gimmick! I really would love to try something else from them instead and this looks very great!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first Laneige makeup I've tried, and I love it! haha won't be trying the bb cushion though :)
