VDL EXPERT COLOR LIP CUBE MOISTURE REVIEW

VDL Expert Color Lip Cube Moisture SPF10 is one of those products that I just knew I’d love before I even received it. Those of us buying skincare and cosmetics from Korea while in another country might know what I’m talking about. You see a product and it’s so absolutely gorgeous and you’re in love before you ever even get it in your hands, then you just wait excitedly for your new beauty to arrive. Wait, that sounds way too much like an old creeper describing his mail order bride, but my point still stands!

The standout cube shape of this lipstick is what first called my name, then the knockout shades available is what pushed my fingers to click Add To Cart without hesitation. The novelty of a square lipstick was something I wasn’t entirely sure about, but I knew I wanted to give it a shot. It fit in perfectly with my obsession over geometric shapes so of course I was coming for this beauty.

While I was waiting for my impulse purchase lipstick to arrive I started researching it like crazy. I found this video featuring the most adorable girl demonstrating it in the exact shade I had decided to get, #105 Pink Positive, a gorgeous red heavy hot pink. It starts at about 1:20

Then finally, it arrived, and oooooh baby yaaaas slay me. As soon as I got that baby on my lips I knew it was everything.

I was delighted to find that the pointed edges are actually really freaking handy for application. It helps you work that cupid’s bow area like a pro. As you can see in the video above, this is a big substantial lipstick. If you have thinner lips, you’re probably going to find you need a lip brush for this one. However, if you have fuller lips like me you’re going to be very appreciative of the size. In addition to being sizeable, the packaging also feels heavy, weighty, expensive, and luxurious. Fitting, because so does the actual lipstick itself. It’s super creamy and moisturizing while giving you deep rich colour. You can tell this is a high end luxury cosmetic immediately. It’s amazing! As if that wasn’t enough, it also has a faint gorgeous floral rosy smell. The wear time is average, it’s not a long lasting stain but goes on so generously that it wears well and stays true as long as you’re not eating or licking your lips. I didn’t even mention the SPF10 yet, not a huge amount but better than nothing and I wish more lip products would include an SPF. Other than that, this stuff is just all around great. I want them all. There are five shades available, all various shades of pink, but Pink Positive is such an awesome shade choice. It reminds me of Rihanna’s Pleasure Bomb lipstick from her limited edition MAC collection, only deeper and richer.
VDL also has another edition of Lip Cubes that are not in the Moisturizing line (although, I would argue that they could be, I have a few and they’re not drying or anything) with eight equally gorgeous shades that are pretty perfect for the upcoming Fall/Winter season. I’ll have to give them a quick review soon for you guys!
