Product Information

Catrice therefore called out for the term “asianification”, which means the creation of products that are inspired by the technology and ingredients used in the asian beauty industry. Some inspirations come from the very popular cushion products, but also lip tints which are super popular in Korea. I own two Catrice Aqua Ink Lip Liners and a Gloss from their Aqua Ink collection, and I will share the swatches and my impression on these products with you today. Eigentlich war es eher der Farbton Let’s Mauve to the Beach, welcher mir beim ersten Swatchversuch bei Müller das Herz gestohlen hatte. Doch mittlerweile muss ich sagen, dass das rubinrote Burgundy Sunset Waves zu meinem Liebling geworden ist, den ich derzeit fast täglich trage!

The second lip product is the Catrice Aqua Ink-In-Gloss, and as you can tell from the name already, it is a gloss which gives a semi-permanent stain to the lips. Similar to the Lip Liners this product is water-based and vegan. It comes in 4 different shades. Moreover, it has a lightweight finish and contains Glycerin and feels moist on the lips and doesn’t dry them out.The tip is a weird little sphere, which they call a bullet applicator. It’s quite flexible and is juicy. It’s as easy to apply as with a pointed tip. I’m not sure what the function is, but maybe it prevents the tip from drying out… Am liebsten hätte ich gleich alle vier Farben des Catrice Aqua Ink-In-Gloss Lip Stains mitgenommen, aber das wäre doch etwas ausufernd für einen Test geworden. The difference between the colors of the two shades is not very huge once I apply them on my lips. Below you can see the two colors applied to my lips. On the right side I applied 050 and on the left side I applied 060. The finish of the lip liner is matte and it gives a very long-lasting stain on your lips. It will fade after eating and drinking all day long, but the hint of color will still be visible on your lips.

What makes you think is a bright red lip stain, is in fact an intense poppy red. I was surprised at how easy this was to use and how the color build up into this deep red shade. As it wore down it looked fine too and I had to use a hardcore make up remover to get this off. A perfect lip product if you want to wear a lip color to the beach as it is 100% waterproof. It does dry out your lips though, but since hardly anything breaks this up, applying balm on top is no biggy. Die Catrice Aqua Ink-In-Gloss Lip Stains sind mir schon bei meinem Preview Beitrag über die Catrice Sortimentsneuheiten für das Frühjahr 2017 ins Auge gesprungen! Aus irgendeinem Grund schien ich da jedoch die einzige Beauty Bloggerin zu sein, denn die meisten konzentrieren sich auf eine der anderen Lippen Neuheiten von Catrice: Die glossigen Lip Cushions! Klar, alles was “Cushion” im Titel hat, ist derzeit interessant, verstehe ich schon. Allerdings muss ich sagen, dass mich persönlich die Lip Cushions beim Swatchen eher enttäuscht haben: Sie erschienen mir sehr klebrig und nicht besonders innovativ, eigentlich nur ein normales Gloss mit einem Kissenapplikator. Meh. Catrice Aqua Ink Lipliner 070 Rosewood Flair is a deeply pigmented lip contour with a ball applicator to promote strong accuracy. Plus, the water-based texture causes immediate absorption and prevents smudging for optimal, long-lasting results. This formula outlines bottom and top lips swiftly, perfecting an optical illusion for those who want more volume. Indeed, there are multiple semi-permanent shades at your disposal, adequate for all skin tones. Alternatively, you can also fully cover your lips, taking advantage of particularly hydrating ingredients like Aloe Vera, Panthenol, or Vitamin E.Earlier this year there have been several product launches from Catrice Cosmetics that were quite appalling to me because their inspirations came from asian beauty products. I talked about the Catrice Lip Cushion before and today I will show you the Catrice Aqua Ink Lip Liner and Catrice Aqua Ink-In-Gloss: The Catrice Aqua Ink Lip Liners are lip liners with a felt-type ball-shaped applicator. These lip liners are creating a semi-permanent tint effect and are water-based according to their description. The lip liners are available in 6 shades and are vegan, too. The applicator on this one seems strange at first, but I found I was able to create a very precise line with this, while also making it easy to color in all of my lip. On the swatch this feathered quite a bit, but on my lips that didn’t happen. The color was easy to build up and wasn’t patchy. It turned out a lot more intense than I had hoped and as this wore off during the day, it simply faded to a lighter color. Fun fact: it took an oil based remover to take this off and I could still see some product that has settled in my fine lines. It truly took a scrubbing session to take it all of. Talking about long-lasting indeed! Catrice Lip Dresser Shine Stylo
