Laneige Two Tone Lipsticks Review + Demo

July 16, 2017

I first discovered Laneige when I went to Hong Kong on exchange in 2013! I bought some nose strips and also their famous sleeping mask. However, I didn’t know where to find them in Canada but now Sephora stocks the brand!

A little while ago, I did an ombre lips tutorial which is one of the beauty trends in Korea right now. Laneige came out with these Two Tone Lipsticks which are suppose to create an ombre effect with it’s pre made color combinations! I received 4 shades to test out and will be sharing my review and swatches!

Packaging: The Laneige Two Tone lipsticks are in a sleek half white and half silver packaging. At the bottom of each lipstick, the color shows through clear packaging which is great for picking up the right shade in your collection. The way the lipstick twists up is very unique! Instead of turning in a circular motion, there is a clicker on the side of the lipstick. You just push down on the clicker and the lipstick will push up. I like that the packaging looks sophisticated and minimalist!

 

Formula: The Laneige Two Tone Lipsticks are very creamy and glides smoothly on the lips. The formula is light weight so you won’t feel anything on your lips once applied. However as it’s so creamy and light, I find it settles into my lip lines instead of gliding over. The staying power is actually quite good considering it gives more of a natural look. The colors stain a bit to help with the staying power. There is a light scent as you are applying but it disappears pretty quickly. Overall, the formula is nice but I wish it’s a little bit thicker so it can hide more imperfections such as dry skin and lip lines.

02 Red Blossom

 
Starting off with my favorite shade out of the 4, Red Blossom is half red and half nude. The color contrast makes it very easy to create the ombre effect. For all the other colors, I used my fingers to dab, but this shade I can just purse my lips create a natural ombre look. The shade is also flattering on my skin tone as I prefer more bold colors as my lips are so pigmented!

03 Pink Salmon

 
This shade is half orange and half light pink. I think coral is a very flattering summer time color and this when blended gives a fresh natural look. The pink doesn’t show up much on my lips so after blending, the orange tends to take over. I still like the final look but it’s not really an ombre effect.

07 Cashmere Nude

 
I can’t usually pull off nude lips and this is no exception. I think my lips are too pigmented so either nude colors don’t show up or it just washes me out. This shade is half pink nude and half brown nude. Unfortunately when applied I can’t tell the distinction on the lips and it ends up looking like one color. As you can see in the swatch it settled into lip lines a bit too much and is too light for my current skin tone.

11 Juicy Pop

 
This is the most unique color combination with red on one side and yellow on the other! This was the first lipstick I pulled out from the packaging and I didn’t realize how to push up the lipstick and ended up smushing the top of the lipstick :(! When swatched I can see the yellow on my hand but it does not really show up on the lips. Once blended I can see an ombre effect as the red is much lighter towards the edges. But you won’t get the bright yellow color if your lips are pigmented!

 I love the packaging and unique concept of these Laneige Two Tone Lipsticks but only 1 of these shades provided a flattering ombre effect on me. There are four other shades available though and I’m interested in trying the burgundy and berry toned shades. My favorite is definitely Red Blossom and I love being able to get an ombre lip without any work involved. These lipsticks are available at Sephora so give it a try and see which color combination works best for your lips!

Obsessed with this gorgeous set of nails by @drea Obsessed with this gorgeous set of nails by @dreamylittlenails! These are custom hand painted press on nails created by my friend Angel! 💫 I've never regularly gone for manicures at a salon as i need to drive there, spend an hour waiting for my nails to set, and not to mention that it's expensive! Now, I can get beautiful nails in 10 minutes right at home! 💞
.
For this set, I sent Angel 2 inspo pics and she was able to merge the ideas and create something true to the essence but also totally unique! 🎨 These press on nails come with glue (if you want it to last a week) or with sticker tabs (which are better for a one day special occasion)

#ad I’ve been working from home for the past whi #ad I’ve been working from home for the past while and my lunch game just got a huge boost thanks to Evive! 🍲 Usually, I don’t have the time and energy other than to heat up leftovers. But I made this delicious thai noodle soup in under 15 minutes using the Evive Tom Thai wheel! It’s simple, quick, and nutritious! 🤤
.
Check out my story for the behind the scene on the makings of this dish! You can also use this same wheel to make pad thai or general thai tofu! If you’re not in the mood for thai, Evive also has a Bam Chili wheel and a Mac Squash wheel. Or get pre-cooked healthy macaroni, quinoa and cauliflower rice as a side! 🥙
.
You can easily order online on their website and it’ll get delivered to you in a self contained freezer box! Use raincouverbeauty10 to get $10 off your first order.
