Hey there dollies!
I was really looking forward to share this post with y'all! I believe I mentioned how much I love the Korean gradient lips look somewhere, sometime. It's been a big trend in Korea for a few years now and I always wanted to achieve that look with no success. Only a few produncts seemed to do the job in a "decent" way. Decent, not good.
The gradient lips look is pretty much having a darker color on the center of your lips giving the impression that you've sucking on a lollipop. It makes you look cute, fresh and innocent.
Not (too) long ago, Laneige came out with the Two Tone Lip Bar which helped to create that same gradient effect using just one product and well... making it a lot easier.
I got really excited when I saw them but it's not easy for me to find their producst here (unless I shop online) and even tho they weren't exactly expensive, they were not that cheap.
So, when I started looking into MINISO makeup I noticed they had pretty similar lippies but a lot cheaper and, I had to try them, yeah... I loved them. There's only one shade missing here, I haven't been able to find number 02 but I'll update this post as soon as I get it.
This collection is called Lip Sweetness Double Color Lipstick and it comes with 6 different shades: 01 Muse Red, 02 Rouge Red, 03 Cherry Red, 04 Maple Red, 05 Rose Red and 06 Nude Red.
It's funny how all of them have the word "red" even if they are not all red. They come in diferent shades; from a nude color, pink, red and even orange.
Product Features: "A perfect mixture of lip balm and lipstick. Gives you a stylish and charming color."
How to use: " Work from the center to the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth. Glide across the entire bottom lip and massage lips together. Only twist out 2mm to use."
As it says, half of the lippie is an almost transparent lipbalm and the other half has the color, It's a very moisturizing lipstick, it applies smoothly and it doesn't feel thick on the lips even if you build up the color with a couple of layers. The packaging is really simple, yet pretty. The slightly frosted white lid along with the gold base make it really pretty to look at.
Let's get to the colors!

SWATCHES
They all have a soft sweet and a little artifitial scent but nothing I can't stand. I wouldn't say they are super long lasting but they will last until you eat or drink something. Even tho I love them all, I have to say some of the colors (03, 04) set on the lines of my lips a little.
All in all, I'm really glad I found them. They are the first lipsticks I try from MINISO and I think they were worth it. If you like the gradient look, defo check them out!
