From the model sheet mask selfies on Instagram and the adorable kiss-shaped lip patches flying off the shelves, to the innovative cushion compacts being reproduced by major beauty houses including Lancôme, the cult of Korean beauty products is showing no signs of slowing. Indeed, K-beauty shopping is a magical experience like no other—where else would you find hand-gel housed in a glossy gummy bear jar? However, just because the quirky creations are cute it does not mean that they don’t also pack a serious punch. Case in point, the extremely long-lasting, peel-off lip stain, Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Pack (US $32; AED/SAR 118) —and beauty mogul Huda Kattan is also a fan of.
The honey and hyaluronic-infused gloss isn’t a swipe-and-go formula. After smearing the berry-flavored lip tint on your pout, allow it to sit for 5-15 minutes (until it’s completely dry) before you peel it off, starting from the corner of your mouth. A pretty, smudge-proof stain will be left behind—almost like a temporary tattoo. Tip: since the formula is seriously drying, apply a layer of lip balm or Vaseline afterwards. The rose-colored transfer won’t go anywhere for at least 12 hours, so apply very carefully and stay within your natural lip line to avoid spending half of your day with a clown mouth.
