The Saem Water and Jelly Candy Tints in Cherry and Peach
I could still remember how much fun it was back in the good old days when all you could color your lips with was a very tinted candy. Who here loved Lipps? Hahaha! There's also a gumball called Pintoora and we would always check out our tongues too after giving a good chew. #simplejoys 😁
Now, here comes our ever reliable lip tints that could resemble the same stained effect even more so, the packaging - just exactly like these.
These are the two variants of The Saem's Candy Tint. They also have another type in mousse formula.
I got Water Candy Tint on Althea shop for only 210 php and Jelly Candy Tint came from a Korean cosmetic store here in our place. If I recall correctly, it's around 320 php.
Color
I picked Cherry and Peach. The latter is a lovely coral shade. However, it lacks pigmentation, unlike the other one. Maybe the other darker colors would be a better option if you're really after the intense payoff.
Oh! Guess what's the scent like? Cherry reminds me of the mini cherry balls I used to buy for 25 centavos each.
Finish & Formula
Water Candy is a typical water-based tint while Jelly Candy is something I don't consider as gel-based because it looks and feels more like of a tinted gloss. Plus, it's tacky too. I have actually tried one gel-ish tint from Etude House and that one has a gel, non-watery consistency, but still dries down to a matte finish.
Application
On the cheeks, I could not definitely use Jelly Candy because it's sticky AF. Moreover, I don't get the flush of color that I want as I blend it. Water Candy is also a bit unforgiving since it's so pigmented. It requires me to smudge it quickly because otherwise, I would be left only with messy stains. Hahaha! 😛
Cherry on cheeks
If you're going for a gradient lip look, do it with the water-based one. Again, Jelly Candy just pretty much gives a high-shine tinted lips. I think it would work best though as a lip topper.
Lasting Power
Peach still leave a good stain, but it would also fade after drinking or eating. Cherry, on the other hand, lasts long enough on me (as a cheek and lip tint). It could be a bit drying though so I make sure to moisturize with a lip balm. Currently, I'm using Vaseline Lip Therapy.
Remember the other The Saem liquid lip tint I featured here on le blog? It's similar to Water Candy except it only comes in a slightly thicker consistency.
Here's how Peach looks like after wiping it off. The color is more natural-looking than Cherry when it's dry.
However, I would still pick Water Candy because what I usually go for is a vibrant pop of color for my cheeks and lips when I'm using any lip tint.
I would still keep Jelly Candy because I don't have any glossy lippie in my collection and sometimes, a juicy finish looks better with some looks.
