Aritaum Honey Melting Tint #8 Grapefruit Soda
Another review from my recent Korean Cosmetics haul! Today I will be reviewing the Aritaum Honey Melting Tint. This product claims to be a lip balm and tint combination. It "melts' onto the lips like a lip balm and uses floral ingredients to provide long lasting color like a tint. It also claims to prevent smudging with the help of collagen ingredients.

First off, I purchased this product for $10.48 from Jolse.
I've heard a lot of beauty bloggers talking about this product so I wanted to try it out for myself!
There's a wide shade range for these tints as well. They have 10 original shades ranging from lighter nudes to vibrant oranges and reds and 6 limited summer colors. They're more "neon" and bright shades.

Packaging:
The packaging is really simple and chic. The outside lid is the color of the product and I would say that it is a really good indicator of the product inside. It's made of a high quality plastic and the application is that of a normal lipstick.
Pigmentation/Longevity:
Again I purchased the shade #8 Grapefruit Soda. I was worried when I purchased this that the product would be too orangey but this wasn't the case. It's a nice grapefruit color like the name would suggest and is nicely pigmented. It also builds color really nicely. As you can see it leaves a very subtle tint as well.
I usually like to dab the product on because it gives a more natural, less pigmented look and I love the finish. I love how you can either wear this product sheer or with full pigmentation.
For longevity it's hard to tell when this really wears off completely because I wear it sheerly but I would say it lasts for 3-4 hours without eating or drinking. The glossiness does fade after 3-4 hours but you could either reapply or leave it as it is because it doesn't fade off the lips in an unflattering, patchy way like a lot of tints do.

Texture/Finish:
This feels really lightweight on the lips. When you rub your lips together it doesn't give an overly slippery feeling but it doesn't feel dry either. The finish is also slightly glossy but nothing too extreme. I usually opt to wear a little bit of lip balm underneath to give added moisture to my lips. I have noticed that if you have any flakes on your lips this will cling to them and accentuate any lines or flakes you have. Make sure you exfoliate before using this product. Then again I do have very dry lips so this may not be a problem for anyone. With exfoliation and an added lip balm underneath, there's a really natural, glossy finish to the lips and the product looks very nice.
Pros/Cons:
Pros:
Cons:
- really pretty color
- buildable
- tints lips a little
- not drying
- amazing scent (smells like fruity candy) I wish I could remember what candy it reminds me of!
- glossy finish
- wears off nicely
- lots of colors to choose from
Cons:
- not easy to find Aritaum products
- accentuates dry parts of lips
Final Thoughts:
I really like this product and I really want to get more shades! I would probably get all the shades if I could because for once they all really appeal to me. I think their color selection for this tint is really good. Hopefully I can pick up more shades but they're kind of expensive for me especially because I have to order them online.
Anyways, I definitely recommend this product! I'm in love with the smell and the color. It accentuating dry patches doesn't really bother me because I have to exfoliate and use some sort of lip balm with almost all my lip products anyways. If you don't want to be hassled with exfoliating, etc. though this product may not be for you.
If you're looking for a glossy, creamy type of lip tint I think this product is perfect for you. If you also like a tint that can be used either sheer or opaque this is also perfect for you! If you don't have access to Aritaum products though I would recommend the Revlon Lip Butters as they are a really similar product. The Revlon products aren't tints though so they won't stain the lips.
If you don't like exfoliating your lips all the time or have really dry lips then this product may not be for you. I have really dry lips though and I can still make this product work very nicely for me.
