I had to get the joocyee once I read the company description that it was ‘desaturated purple with silver glitter’, another company description was ‘bright pink purple’. And therein lies my problem with c-beauty- inconsistent and confusing international marketing. So many times Joocyee (and Judydoll) will have a bunch of different names for the same color- they vary by country oftentimes- it just makes trying to make a purchase frustrating. I appreciate the kbeauty has very sophisticated international marketing- they keep the English names the same regardless of country and they have super helpful color charts which take the guesswork out of whether a shade is cool or warm.
Which is a shame because Joocyee makes quality products. This glossy rouge stick come in a super sleek silver click pen which cannot be retracted. They advise refrigerating for an hour or two before use, especially in hot weather. It is much lighter and more comfortable to wear than the Romand Glasting Balm. I think this color is close to Bare Vine but more pink. It looks more purple-y on the lips and is very glossy and less saturated than Mauve Whip. I wore the Mauve Whip and the Joocyee side by side on my lips and the joocyee felt so much lighter and looked equally as glossy. Its very long lasting but sometimes that tenacity can make the film it forms grip your lips in an uncomfortable way. This only happens if you take a shower or go swimming with it on. I could feel the film hanging on to my lips when I got them wet. Easily removed with oil cleanser but it is tenacious!
