Tony Moly Backstage Duo Lip and Cheek in #2

Hey guys,

How have you all been ? The weather in NYC has been a bit strange, constantly fluctuating from hot to cold, with heavy rainfall scattered in between. Transition weather is always really annoying. How has the weather been for you  ? Anyway, I bought this Tony Moly Product a few months ago, planning to review it but then I forgot. While I was cleaning out my make-up  stash a few weeks ago, I found it again and finally put it to test.

I bought this product in the color #2. I don’t understand any Korean, so I have no idea what it says.This was just the only color there, so I grabbed it. As you can see, the only color you can see is through the “glass” bottom, which is red in this case. However you also see a tab that you can open, which leads to the blush part.

You twist around the top part ( white plastic) from the bottom and you can see the lip product.

Sorry for the bad lighting.

As you can see, the blush is a peachy orange color. The lip product is red with a glossy finish. You can build it up to a even more vibrant color if you like.

PROS:

Compact.

This product is 2 in 1 BUT instead of the regular lip and cheek combos where it is just ONE color/product, this is actually 2. The small size of this allows you to bring it with you everywhere. The blush part is closed tightly so you don’t have to worry about it opening.

Pigmented & Buildable

Both products are really pigmented. A little really goes a long way. I swirled my brush on it lightly and there still was a lot of color. The lip product can start off as a light cherry bitten lip to a full blown red.

Long Lasting ( Blush)

The blush is very long lasting. I wore it for over 6 hours and it was still on my face.

Blends Easily

The blush at first starts out in a creamy yet somewhat sticky consistency, which was weird at first tbh. However when you blend it out, it turns into a powder and is very lightweight with the stickiness disappeared.

CONS :

Not Very Hygienic

The design of the product can be very unhygienic as unlike the other products which has a brush in it, there isnt any at all. If you don’t have a brush on you. You will have to use your fingers, so you will constantly have to wash your hands.

Sticky

The lip product, although the color is lovely, is quite sticky. That can be annoying to some , so keep that in mind.

 

CONCLUSION

Overall, I quite like this product. It is convenient for on-the-go and performs very well. I give this a 4.5/5

Have you tried any products from Tony Moly ? What were they ?
