Product Review : MonoMola Long Lasting Lip Color / Wow Lip Tattoo

I love make up but I'm not into lipsticks. Yes, you read that right - I'm NOT a lipstick lover. And I don't wear a full face of makeup on a regular basis as well - but oh how I love makeup! If I can choose one job, I'd be a makeup artist. Here I go again with my random thoughts & babbling. Okay, back to the lipstick. I'm more of a lip tint kind of gal. I'd like something low maintenance, something that I could just splat on my lips, forget about it & get on with my busy day as a mom and a work-at-home admin staff but still looking like I have some color in my life! Well, in my lips for that matter.

That one paragraph worth of story brings me to the main topic of this blog post - my product review of this currently popular lip tattoo. I've seen it all advertised by a few online makeup shops that I follow in Facebook and so I went and ordered two colors. I got it on sale for only 100 pesos each. I'm not sure if these are fake to be honest but I got it from a legit seller in Shopee and the products looked decent when it arrived.

MonoMola is a Korean beauty brand. These lip tattoos claim to be long-lasting, moisturizing, hypoallergenic, waterproof, paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free, perfume-free & ammonia-free. There are 5 shades available : cherry red & rose pink (which are the ones I got), the other three are sexy red, lovely peach & sweet orange. The lip tattoo is in a 15 grams squeezy tube which for me is not a lot considering that you have to apply more product than you would normally apply when using lip tints or lipsticks. But I got it super cheap, so not complaining here.

Anyhow, I initially wanted to take photos of it on my lips but after too many messy attempts, I settled to just showing it applied at the back of my hand. Here they are a minute after applying. As you can see a lot of product is needed for you to create a not so thin film which you will peel out after 20 minutes. It says on MonoMola site to let the lip tattoo dry for about 5 to 10 minutes but oh no they are still wet as a sponge by the 10 minute mark. This is me in front of a fan by the way with a little mouth blowing added.

                            

Once dried, it's pretty easy to peel off & the color pay-off is pretty nice. It's smudge proof as well. But to be completely honest it is not water proof or long lasting either. I used them for three times already and after I ate lunch and had it on for about 4 to 5 hours, the tint is almost gone.

  

As a conclusion to this random product review, I would say that if you're really curious and into trying out new makeup trends then go and give these ones a try. It's pretty fun to try out new makeup! As a lip tint junkie like me I really wanted this product to work out, but to be honest I don't like how long it takes for it to dry and the fact that it is not long lasting & water proof as it claims to be.

Have you tried these lip tattoos too? Let's talk in the comments below :)
