For years, I wasn’t much of a makeup person. The perfect combo of lack of energy and skill meant that most days, putting on mascara was considered fancy. I’ve been playing around with makeup a lot more this year and am starting to get better and faster. And what can be quicker than some lip color?
Peripera is known for their affordable and good quality lip products. To me, a lot of kbeauty lip colors seem more or less identical - different lineups of peaches, pinks and sometimes mauves. Peripera’s Gray Grayish Express looked different though, so I had to try it. The collection has three colors. I chose 09 Cool-Lepathy - a lavender pink color, “suitable for winter light tone”. Am I a winter light tone? No idea. But I liked the color. The lippies are sold on YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT) and Stylevana (code INF10KBH).
How to use
Glide over lips
The product comes in a simple yet pretty plastic bottle with a doe foot applicator. It’s easy to apply and doesn’t have a noticeable taste. There is no stickiness or stickiness, just a glossy finish.
My impressions
I LOVE this color. It’s perfect. It’s so pretty and unique (at least to me). My only issue is truly my issue - not the tint’s. I have some dryness on the lower lip, and the color tends to settle there, making the area darker / more noticeable than the rest of the lips. It doesn’t happen right away - about 15 minutes after application. If your pout is nourished and smooth, you will not have this issue. I’ve been doubling down on lip essences and sleep masks to smooth the area, because I’m having this issue with other lip formulas as well. Once I addressed the dryness, the issues stopped.
The color isn’t super long lasting - the glossy finish wears off after eating / drinking, leaving behind a bit of a tint. I don’t need my color to last all day, so it’s not an issue. Most importantly, it fades evenly without looking bad or patchy, so I am not pressured into reapplying if I don’t want to. 10/10 for me once I got my lips properly nourished.
