VDL - Expert Color Lip Cube

Long time no see! I'm back from my 3 month hiatus with a new review! my mom went to Korea, and she got a few VDL products with me. I'm going to try out a new concise review format, so I hope you enjoy!

VDL has managed to shock me once again with their innovation and product quality. They have a large range in colors for their cube lipsticks, but today, I'll only be reviewing one color: 102 Shell Berry. The packaging is fairly simple and minimalistic, all black with a purple design on top of the cap. The product mechanisms are working just fine as well.



Product wise, I was really impressed. VDL describes the lipstick as "velvet intense". It has an extremely creamy texture upon application, but after drying, it leaves a very soft matte finish that is not too powdery so it doesn't smudge all over your face when you accidentally rub your lips. To my surprise, it's very light, and it almost feels like you're not wearing any lipstick at all. It spreads quite well, so lip cracks were not very visible. The cube shape also makes application much more easier than the classic lipstick shape! Overall, I'm really happy about this product! 4/5 <3 !
