Review: Missha Two Faces of Beauty Limited Lip Kit (Sensual Smoky Look)

 Hello!

Today I'm going to review my Missha Two Faces of Beauty Lip Kit.

I am loving this kit so far-- so onto the review. My kit is called "Sensual Smoky," while the other kit is entitled "Feminine Grace." The only differences are the colors of the full size lipsticks/glosses. Take a look at my previous post on the haul, it has pictures of the other kit (my sister got the Feminine Grace set.)

 The Lipstick

Color: SBE203

Missha Signature Glam Art Rouge SPF15/PA+ 

Color: SBE203

In Neutral Apricot Beige, the Glam Art Rouge lipstick is great for long-term wear. The lipstick applies smoothly and the color softly melts onto lips.

Missha describes this lipstick as being a "neutral apricot beige" color. I kind of disagree. While it does have an apricot coloring to it, it isn't really neutral. It is really pigmented and reminds me more of a coral-type lipstick. See the swatch below. The lipstick is also scented, it has a subtle sugary vanilla-ish smell to it.

The color is really pretty, but like I said, it really is more like a coral lipstick than a beige/neutral color. 

The Lip Gloss

Color: SBE01

Signature Glam Art Gloss SPF12 

Color: SBE01

The shimmery gold pearl and beige gloss is great for elegant color, moisturizing, and long lasting wear.

While I disagree with Missha's labeling of the lipstick as being a neutral apricot beige, I agree with that description for the gloss. It is nude, very neutral, and beige. The gloss is mostly shiny, I don't detect much glitter. It has a "cleanish" scent? Nothing like the lipstick's scent.

Signature Glam Art Rouge Mini Five-Color Lip Palette:

So as I mentioned in my Missha haul post, the palette includes the lipstick color from the "Feminine Grace palette," and also includes the lipstick color from this palette. 

While I like the idea of having a lip palette of Missha's popular colors, I was disappointed that the palette didn't come with a lip brush. If you don't have a lip brush, you have to go out and buy one or apply it with your fingers--which is less than desirable. I think they should have included a mini cheap brush. Onto swatches.

I really like these colors. They are all within the pink family in my opinion. The boldest/most different shade is on the far right. It is SRD703 which is included in the "Feminine Grace" Lip Kit. I'd describe it as a berry-ish red color with slight pink undertones. I am a big fan of this color. It is so wearable. A bold lip, yet it compliments my skin tone so well. I think this is a beautiful red that would look great on anyone. 

My Thoughts on the Products?

The Lipstick (Missha Signature Glam Art Rouge): A huge fan of Missha's formula. I wrote a post earlier about Missha's High Glossy Lip Rouge, which is a little bit cheaper than this lipstick. This lipstick is slightly upgraded. It is just as creamy, pigmented, and beautiful as the other lipstick, except this one seems to have longer wear time and doesn't seem to wipe off as easily. I have the same complaint of this lipstick as the other one though, it seems to really emphasize your chapped lips. Be sure to wear a lip balm or to exfoliate your lips before wearing this. The color is to die-for, the moisturizing and creamy formula is divine, and I am crazy about the subtle vanilla smell. LOVE THIS LIPSTICK!

The Lip Gloss (Signature Glam Art Gloss): I like this gloss. It is sheer, creamy, and very light-weight. It pairs perfectly with the lipstick, and works great on top of it. SBE01 is a very neutral/nude color and I like that it is shiny, without being too sparkly. I don't really like ultra sparkly glosses. The nice thing about this formula is that it isn't sticky at all. It doesn't have a scent. I can't vouch for the wear-time because I have yet to put it on all day, but I think this is a very nice gloss. 

The Lipstick Palette (Signature Glam Art Rouge Mini Five-Color Lip Palette): I really like this palette. I love the idea of trying Missha's most popular shades. The palette's lipsticks are just a lovely and creamy as the full size. I think that these colors are very versatile and would look great on anyone.

Rating: 5/5

Pros:
- Affordable and inexpensive
- Great value (full size products)
- Creamy lip stick and gloss
- The lipstick is highly pigmented/beautiful color pay off 
- The lip gloss is sheer and very wearable
- The lip gloss isn't sticky at all!
- The lip products are moisturizing

Cons:
- The lipstick makes your chapped lips obvious

Overall, I am so happy about my purchase! I am simply crazy about Missha's lipsticks. Plus, I got my kit for a great price! I only paid $24, while the lipstick is $18 by itself and the gloss is $16. This kit is a real steal. Pick yours up today. It went on sale again, now it is only $20!!!! Head to the Missha US site and check out what they have. See you next post~~~
