Not that Kimiko Beauty's Sheer Tint and Lip Plumper is anything like that. For one thing, the shade I'm trying -- Sweet Plum -- is a gorgeous and flattering color on my summer-tanned skin. No wagon-red swipes across my lips or anywhere else around my mouth, thank you very much. And for another, this comes in handy-dandy packaging, like Avon's Mark line, with the lip plumper occupying one end of the container and the tint occupying the other. Easy to toss into your makeup kit, and easy to pull out for quick touch-ups.
No, this reminds me of that forgotten sweet because it has that same scent reminiscent of cherry-flavored candies. You pull out the wand, apply it to your lips, and voila! It takes me back to summer afternoons hanging around Greenbelt Mall in Makati, Metro Manila, before it became the sprawling complex it is today.
This is the good stuff: fresh and glossy but not slick, deeply hydrating for even the driest mouth, and good for your lips, what with the collagen in the plumper, and pomegranate and berry extracts that not only provide that color boost but also give you the added benefit of antioxidant protection.
But most of all, it's just fun. Definitely give this one a try, and see if it doesn't take you back to the halcyon days of your youth.
Note: When applying, don't do as I do and layer on the plumper first. No, the tint goes first, and then the plumper after you've allowed the tint to dry for a minute or so. Stays put and gives you an even color.
Price: $37 for a 0.43 fl-oz double-sided tube. Available on their Web site.
