No, it really isn't that purple!



REVIEW Summary:
Price:  2/5 Their website has no price information, but needs to be imported via sites that sell internationally. The average price online is $9. $$ for a small tube.
Size: 3/5 4.5 g Average
Packaging: 5/5 You will by this solely for the package design. It comes in a little paper box with Alice designs, and the lip color is in a hard plastic screw on container with Alice card character on the body.
Scent: N/A
Color/Shade: 3/5 A tinted pinkish purple
Texture: 4/5  Lip oil
Ease of use: 5/5 Easy. Brush applicator
Effect: 3/5 It's an okay color, but it doesn't last long at all. The color vanishes and leaves no tint behind.
Last ability:  2/5 Gone pretty quickly
Claim: BEYOND Disney Alice Collaboration
Royal Black tea contains the essence
- Give your lips moisture and elasticity High moisturizing oils
- Temptation of oil in tinted
- Soft colors, Vivid glow lip director

 The Verdict:
 It's cruelty free. The packaging is cute. The applicator is easy to use. Yet the color is pretty basic and boring, and it vanishes. It's not a stain, nor is it a tint.
Buy again? No 


The REVIEW:
Not much to say that The Verdict doesn't cover. It's a below average product. See photos and swatches below.

Cosmetics, Skincare and Animal Testing Lies...

Cosmetics, Skincare & Animal Testing Lies... This is kind of a long time coming...but it can be SO hard to find out if Korean cosmetic brands are tested on animals because of the language barrier... There are several sits dedicated to informing you of American and European brands that test on animals...here are some links... LEAPING BUNNY  free cruelty free guide BUAV (ENGLAND)  BUAV's actual list is online and FREE...  Cruelty Free   American Anti-Vivisection Society   Nature Watch (UK) Uncaged (UK)  They require payment for their cruelty free guide and they get it from Nature Watch...

STILA now tests on animals...and PETA couldn't care less.

Further proving that one cannot even trust two-faced PETA's list, cosmetics company Stila admits to testing on animals on their website and on "Twitter", yet remains on their cruelty-free list. Does anyone remember when Too-Faced and Urban Decay decided to sell in China and thus test on animals and PETA attacked them and UD reversed their decision?
