I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Color is very vivid RED when it comes out of the tube and this shade is not an everyday shade I could just throw on! I do prefer more muted shades.
- Very difficult for a beginner to spread evenly, watery/thin consistency, and the foot is either a bit big or shaped so that it doesn't feel natural to use.
- Dries so fast you barely have any time to try to fade it or fix errors. The tint might turn uneven.
- If you are like me and sometimes want to pat lip product in with fingers, it's not a good idea with this lip tint (probably never with tints anyway?). It will color your finger for the whole day. Sticks to finger better than to lips! So I need tools like q-tips for that.
- Also dries out my lips. But this is normal for me. Ah, the trade offs for the lasting power... But I definitely can't wear this lip tint without moisturizing my lips before and after and during the day.
+ Dries fast so once it's done, it doesn't make a mess anymore and you can add lip balm/other things on top without waiting.
+ When the product has tinted your lips properly, it surely isn't going anywhere for a couple of hours. Even in your inner lips. I tried wiping with paper, cotton swap, lip balm, fingers. Now that was impressive. After the first hours it does start fading from inner lips and starts to look dry on the outer lips.
+ Smells lightly like berries. It's not strong or off putting at all, still not my favourite. But not bad.
+ Neutral red shade that I could see suiting the most. Or at least, it turns out neutral next to my warm skin. The tint does turn pinkish however at some point.
+ Lasts somewhat through eating as well as long as food is not greasy. Drinking is no problem. I feel I have to touch up my lips after 4-6 hours because of the inner lip fading and outer lip flaking with dryness. But after doing touch up once during the day, the tint seems to last long to the night.
+ Very pigmented and can be layered.

* This was my first lip tint ever so my point of view is is drastically different from someone who knows what they are doing. I don't usually even wear a lipstick because it's such an extra hassle. Nothing ever stays on my lips. And my lips are so dry that nothing usually looks good.
* I bought this Tonymoly lip tint for experimenting. I had no idea what to expect, some people talked online how they found it long lasting so I just threw it in my cart. I've had this tint now for a while and even though it probably has expired or close to it, it hasn't changed consistency, smell or lasting power.
* Compared to Peripera tints Tonymoly Shocking Lip is harder to blend, dries quicker, and more watery. Peripera Airy Velvet Tints are creamier and more beginner friendly but they don't last/dry so well as Shocking Lip.
Price:
USD 9.33 / 7 g
Bought from:
Jolse
Buy again?
No. Not the same shade (red) at least.
Worth the money?
I don't think this is a beginner item. At least not for a lip product novice like me. But, I am very impressed by the lasting power once you get over all the other obstacles. All the shades from Shocking Lip range seem to be quite vivid and harsh, but I think that's to do with the formula to make the tint last. I do not feel like I wasted money but I also do not love this product, maybe because of the difficult shade, drying out my lips and the effort I have to put into making it look good. (I am tempted by the orange/coral shades, however. But I'd get them only if the price goes down to 4-5 dollars.)
