Okay one thing about this is there isn't a given description. Okay maybe yes there is but it's all in japanese! One thing i ABOSULUTELY cannot stand in Shu Uemura's products is the often confusing names and that everything is written in japanese, except for the name. I love their products, but i really cannot stand the fact that they write everything in japanese.
Wouldn't you hate it if after you bought it you went home and forgot how to use it and when you search the back of the product for instructions there are none? Often, they call their toners 'lotion' and their lotions 'treatment' and all that, till you don't really know which is which and what is what. So when buying Shu uemura products, take care to ask for CLEAR instructions from the salesgirl, because if not, you probably won't know how to use the product when you get back, unless you're japanese.
This lip serum, according to the salesgirl, is supposed to plump your lips and remove creases on your lips so that your lipstick goes on smoothly. In a way, it's a primer for lipsticks.
The serum comes out as white, but there were times when i squeezed it out and only a clear liquid came out. After that, before i used this product i would shake it, to prevent any separation of liquid inside. You are supposed to apply a thin layer of this serum on your lips.
Tastes a little strange, and smells a little strange, but it's nothing overpowering. Take care not to put too much. Even when i apply a little, it takes some time to absorb in and even then, it leaves a thin film over my lips. Don't worry, it's nothing greasy or sticky.
One good thing i love about this is that it provides your lips moisture before you put your lipstick. I wouldn't advice putting lip balm before putting on lipstick, even if you do want to moisturize your lips because the lipstick wouldn't have much hold on your lips. Therefore, this product comes in handy. It smoothens out your lips so that lipstick goes on smoother.
This would be really handy if you wear long lasting lipsticks. Im not sure whether it will affect the holding power of your lipstick, but it will definitely provide some moisture for your lips because i know long lasting lipsticks tend to dry out your lips really quickly.
Another thing i love about this product is the applicator. Applying this serum is really a piece of cake and very easy to do.
I cannot remember how much this cost, but it was definitely not cheap.
Rating: ♥♥♥ ♥/ great if you wear a lot of lipstick everyday but not necessary.
