I’m starting to lose my mind here because it’s the end of March and we’ve had snowstorm after snowstorm, with no hint of Spring. So, I’m just going to take matters into my own hands and inject some Spring into my life with these cheerful little Neon Color Pots from Innisfree. Available in four shades, I chose #2 Cherry Pink. It’s a wonderfully vibrant blue based neon pink. Really every shade option offered is bright, gorgeous, and en trend right now. They’re the perfect counter to this unseasonably dreary weather. The photo below is very true to colour.
Innisfree Neon Color Pot Rouge is a 2 in 1 product (that I would argue could conceivably be considered a 3 in 1 product if used like this) meant to be used as either a blush or a lip colour. Personally, I say it functions much better as a blush. Due to it’s powdery nature, it does cling like mad to any dry flakes or cracks in the lips. But that’s not to say this is too powdery and dry to blend well. It actually blends great! I think that’s due to the inclusion of Camellia oil, which is a great emollient high in omega-9 fatty acids. And while the colour is bright and vibrant, it does it without being too overpowering and clownish. It’s a great way to work in a pop of beautiful, eye catching, but not overboard colour into your look.
This product is great for quick looks as well. One day I was running low on time and threw this on as a blush and lipstick (it works better if you put on a lip balm base first) with some Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeliner and it looked great. I got compliments on it at two different locations. It’s also small so you can throw it in your makeup bag without any worry for touchups. As a blush this lasted throughout the day for me, as a lipstick it did need several touchups but it was cute enough to justify the hassle. Also, if you’re not a fan of the matte lip, just mix some clear gloss on your hand with a swipe of this rouge to get yourself a custom lipgloss. You could also mix this with a dab of your concealer to make a pretty pastel pink. It’s very versatile! It’s also about half of the cost of the more expensive 3CE’s version of this product.
I love the colour payoff, blend-ability, feel, convenience, versatility, and longevity of this little pot. I want to put in an order for every other colour they offer now!
I rate the Innisfree Neon Color Pot Rouge 4 out of 5 turtles
Oh no, it’s discontinued! 🙁
