As with most things these days I came across this lipstick while surfing through Naver! It was in a lot of Sulli (former FX member) airport fashion posts.

If you didn’t already know, Sulli is the face of Estee Lauder in Korea. If you haven’t seen the commercials yet I highly recommend going on Youtube and checking them out!

Point is, I really had to have it! There are plenty of Korea-only releases with western brands and seeing how gorgeous the packaging was I was expecting this to be one of those instances. Luckily for me (and you) it’s also available on the US Estee Lauder website for a limited time. You can check it out here!

The casing is in a beautiful rose gold and red/transparent ombre. The lipstick itself has a heart engraved on either side. It definitely has some weight to it and does not feel cheap.

It’s said to be a universal red that will flatter any woman. You can definitely build it up to a pure red but also wear it lightly as a more pink shade. I think of it as a raspberry tone.

 

Heart Throb is a matte type and I am not generally a matte girl so I always pair it up with a good lip balm underneath and a lip gloss on top.
