NOONI Korean Lip Oil - Applefig | Long-Lasting, Moisturizing, Plumping, Revitalizing for Dry Lips, Waterproof, No Peel Off, Hydrating, Nourishing Crystal Clear Lip Stain, 0.12 FL Oz

I picked up this lip oil from nooni (in appleblacktea) after seeing it all over social media, and I can see why people like it, but the color ended up being a bit different on me than I expected. First, the formula itself is really nice. It feels lightweight, smooth, and genuinely hydrating without being sticky. It gives a glossy, healthy look to the lips and feels comfortable to wear. The main thing to know is that this is a pH-reactive lip product. That means it changes color based on your individual skin chemistry. The formula reacts with the natural pH of your lips and develops into a personalized shade, which is why it can look so different from person to person. On me, with very pale, cool-toned skin, it turned into a fairly bright, cool pink. It’s definitely more vibrant than I was hoping for. A lot of the swatches I saw online were on deeper skin tones where it looked more subtle and natural, but on me it reads much brighter. Because of that, I actually wish the color payoff were a bit softer. The lip oil itself is so nice that I’d love to reapply it freely throughout the day, but if I layer it too much, my lips end up looking pretty intensely pink. What works best for me is using just a small dab and then either blotting it down or topping it with a clear gloss. That way I still get the hydration and a soft flush without the color becoming overwhelming. Overall, this is a really nice lip oil in terms of texture and hydration. Just be aware that the pH color can pull quite bright, especially on lighter skin tones.

Finally a lip oil that actually hydrates! My lips get so dry, but this keeps them soft and glossy for hours. Not sticky at all, and the appleplum tint is so pretty natural but noticeable. Doesn’t peel or fade weirdly. Stays on through coffee too! Makes my lips look plump and healthy. Love that it’s waterproof and no sticky mess. Definitely my new favorite.

I purchased all four and I'm here to break it down for you. This is a listing for four related, but fairly different products. Like you, I looked at the descriptions of "hydrating and plumping and smoothing and etc etc etc" and said, "yeah yeah yeah, you put different colors and flavors in them, but they're all the same thing." NO. 1. Appletea is the most "lip gloss" like out of the four - I'm guessing this is the "hydrating" component. A little thicker and stickier than the rest. "Flavor" (these are unsweetened) is meh, the green tint doesn't seem to affect natural lip shade in any remarkable way. This one is a 3/5 for me. 2. Applecoco is a true lip oil, none of that lip gloss stickiness here. The flavor is nice, very vaguely summery. The tint is super neutral. This one is a 4.5/5 for me, my fav of the four. 3. Applemint is very similar in formula to the Applecoco as far as the oil vs gloss thing goes, BUT while it only seems a little minty in smell and taste that BURN sets in. It feels like one of those venom lip plumpers that were so popular 10 or so years ago. The feeling dissipates in 3-5 mins and did seem to pump up the volume a little bit. The blue tint initially made my lips a little pale, but the, uh, "plumping effect" made them flushed. 3.75/5. 4. Appleberry is almost a different beast here. Similar lip oil formula feel to the Coco and the Mint, but the color in this one is an actual lip tint/stain. Yes, STAIN. Not "branded for life" stain, but it's not going to wipe right off. This will be a perk for some people. Others want something more ephemeral. Just know that this has a color deposit, and it's an Asian/K-Beauty red which is generally more of a coral (e.g. a little orange-y). Not the best shade for me without a tan, but for someone else it's gonna be the best. Solid 4/5. General notes here: 1. These are smaller than you're expecting, but they last pretty long. I bought the Applecoco towards the end of January 2021, wear it almost daily, and still have some left (as of Oct 21). 2. The doe foot applicator is stiffer and less soft than I've come across in other lip products. You will live, but be aware if that's a deal breaker for you. 3. I've seen a lot of people say this gets leaky in purses and the like. I've only thrown it in a purse maybe once (I'm a cosmetic display kinda gal), so I guess if you need it on the go close that sucker tight and keep the little box it comes in to put it in to be safe (no spilled lipstick in mom's Valentino purse). This is the longest Amazon review I've ever written in my life. If you actually read it, I'm happy to have been this involved in your selection of lip product. Peace.

Best brand lip oil i've ever tried! A little goes a long way.I typically only outline the outer part of my lips.Then, smack the lips together.And a real pretty vibrant color begins to show without using any more product than that. The final look is a little bit on the dark pink side, but it has a muted cranberry color to it.So it's not too bright. It wears really well.I'd say at least two or four hours.And if i'm eating a meal most of it will come off, but a little bit will still remain. I often refresh it with a clear lip, gloss or lipstick, and it blends well with that too. The product doesn't have much of a fragrance.So it's very skin friendly.I think because it doesn't cause any Irritation. Some reviews said that it dries out the lips.Maybe just a little bit but I have no issues when I refresh it with a little bit of clear lip gloss or lip balm after a couple of hours.No complaints otherwise. Would definitely purchase again! I think it would make a nice gift too. Because it's a quality product. And most people might be to worried to try it.... But I think most people would like it once they did!

Bought 3 of these saw it on tiktok for outrageous prices👎🏽 Did a google search found them on Temu and here on Amazon more affordable! Anywho here’s my honest takeaway: Nooni Applewine/Applecherry/Applepeony They do go on smooth gives lips a nice shine…leave on for a bit they change color base on the name u either get a brighter hue or darker…they do stay on they don’t transfer once the extra is wiped off! That’s a plus for me! I would want to say these have some kind of red 27 in it(color changing dyes) to it because all three of mines, They’re all red just a darker version of each other, but not that dark so I’m gonna try the Applcranberry I want something a bit darker…because my lips already light (red) and I don’t really like wearing bright lipstick even though I received compliments whenever I do. I’ll put a picture but it’s cute…as I’ve stated prior they’re just either brighter or darker Hues of each other.

Bought this to see if it would match my other lip oils. VERY BADD!! Dried out my lips when I wore it at overnight and during the day

I just bought this product and really like it so far! It's more moisturizing than I expected and has a very light pleasant scent (fruity-floral). It's not sticky which is great. I used a very light swipe in the second picture (black shirt), it moisturized and lightly tinted, so light that I wasn't sure it left any colour at all until I washed my face at night and realized my make-up remover was taking off pink from my lips! Day two, I put it on much heavier and it's very obviously brighter but still in the realm of natural lip shade, just heightened. With a thicker application, the scent is stronger and feels weightier on the lips (but still not sticky!!). I also tested a swatch on the back of hand to see the shade and how long it would take to lose the gloss and become more of a lip stain. It absorbs slowly over a few hours, leaving the colour and a very light gloss but with a minor sheen, more like cherry Chapstick, and still feeling very moisturized. With all the test applications, the shade took a few minutes to really activate (perhaps body temperature or pH plays a role?) so I'd suggest starting with an almost dry applicator and layering so you can find the shade and amount of product that works for you. I would reapply after eating but I haven't worn for a full 8-12 hours yet. I recommend this product if you're looking for something moisturizing, low maintenance, variable transparency options, stain-like look after a few hours. Not a good match for a long-lasting high shine, super bright shade, or totally transparent. It also swatched brighter on my hand vs my lips on day one, so definitely do a test drive and play with the amount of product on your lips before committing to it as part of your look! Best surprise: very moisturizing, even with very dry chapped lips Worst surprise: different shades, a bit unpredictable (I actually like this and find it fun, and I don't mind a super bright shade if it goes that way but I think most people would be put off by that)

Love the color and for once a lip oil is not sticky overall would recommend however afterwards it makes your lips dry.

Nice colour and moisturizing.. will buy again

Love this so hydrating looks beautiful and leaves an amazing stain I've gotten so many of my close family and friends hooked on these, they are just so nice, but I do find them rather small.
