Hi everyone! I decided to try and make a swatch post including some rom&nd, Unleashia and Laka tints and glosses, especially because when I first got interested in Laka I had a hard time finding any info about the brand and its products, so I hope this post will be helpful for someone!
Please note that all of the shades are cool toned except for Dark Coconut and all of these are scented lip products. These are only my opinions based on my experience, my skin tone and my make up needs and habits.
Here’s a few opinions on these lip tints:
1 *rom&nd Glasting Water Tint* in #14 **Mauve Moon**: this is my absolute favourite formula from rom&nd lip products, I find it to be a lot more comfortable on the lips than the juicy lasting tint. It’s definitely watery and lightweight, it doesn’t dry out my lips and I find both the tint and its stain to last a lot longer than the juicy lasting ones. I think Mauve Moon’s shade doesn’t show up in photos as beautiful as it truly is, it’s a nice MLBB muted mauve, perfect for everyday use.
2 *rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint* in #33 **Bare Vine**: while I love the colour, which is a light “grapey”-pink shade, the formula is not my favourite. Juicy Lasting Tints tend to dry out my lips a lot, also both the product itself and the stain don’t last long on me.
3 *Laka Jelling Nude Gloss* in #302 **Grape Ring**: in this case, the situation is the opposite from bare vine, I love the formula but hate the colour. It shows really really pink on my lips (basically Barbie pink) and it doesn’t go well with my skintone but it’s a lot more muted on my friend who’s slightly darker than me. It could definitely be someone’s MLBB. I’ll tell more about the formula in Angel Ring’s part.
4 *rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint* in #20 **Dark Coconut**: this is a product I would never repurchase as I both don’t really love the colour (on me) and the formula also as I’ve already stated, but at the same time I see its potential and I sometimes like the stain it leaves! If I don’t feel like wearing a lot of make up, I sometimes put it on for just a minute or two and then remove it, it gives my lips a slightly dark reddish-brown stain which I don’t mind when I’m only wearing some mascara. I think it would work wonders for warm toned people. Out of all of them, (strangely, considering its dark shade) this is the one that lasts less on me.
5 *Unleashia Non-Sticky Dazzle Tint* in #3 **Glow Day**: the first mauve shade I bought and I loved it so much I ended up purchasing only mauvey shades as you can see from this post lol it’s a beautiful colour with a stunning purple-gold shimmer and also the formula works really well, it stays for a long time, I can eat and drink with it on without worrying about coming out too quickly, the stain too stays for a long time and I would definitely use it a lot more often if it wasn’t for the fragrance. It has a truly strong fruity scent, like a VERY INTENSE black cherry smell and some days I just can’t bear it. It’s something to keep in mind in my opinion, if you don’t like rom&nd’s products’ scents, I think you would probably regret buying this, but if you don’t mind strong fragrance in lip products, I think you should try one from the non sticky dazzle tint serie!
6 *Laka Jelling Nude Gloss* in #306 **Angel Ring**: my favourite out of all of them! Starting from the shade, it’s the perfect nude for me, a nice and simple muted baby pink which goes well with both stronger and more natural make up. Not only it lasts for a long time, it also leaves a very natural looking stain which also lasts a lot. But the formula is the best part for me: it’s hydrating, comfortable, non sticky, lightweight with a not too overpowering scent (it is still scented, but it’s the most bearable for me). Out of all these products, Angel Ring is the one I will definitely repurchase together with Mauve Moon.
It’s my first post so I hope I explained everything properly, I hope both the photos and the informations I’ve added can be helpful to someone!
