All 39 Shades of the Peripera Ink The Velvet Review

All shades

 Ever since I first tried them, I have had an obsession with the formulation of Korean Lip products. They’re far less drying than most Western lip products I’ve tried, and the formulas are incredibly creamy and don’t flake. Because of this love, I may have caved and purchased almost every single shade of the Peripera Ink The Velvet line. Keep reading to learn more about the line, my and the Koreans’ thoughts, and where you can find one yourself.

K-Points:10/10

So, for beauty reviews, unlike my album unboxings, I will be much harsher because this can directly impact your health, where buying K-Pop albums does not. It just impacts your wallet. As such, all of my beauty reviews will be out of 10 points. I will not be going over that number.

Honestly, I absolutely love this formula. If I ever need a lip color that comes in many shades, but can also be blended out easily, this is what I typically reach for. On top of that, the formula isn’t dry and all and it fades easily. Throughout the pandemic, I really got to test their wear with masks too. Although they aren’t 100% mask-proof, they hold up incredibly well, even while eating and drinking. For this reason, I have nothing bad to say about this product.

What are the Koreans saying?

I was digging through reviews on 화해 (Hwahae)*, a Korean skincare app that lists out the ingredients of products from many brands for people to look through as well as post reviews. So, instead of going through and talking about what the Koreans thought since there are 39 shades, I will rank all 39 in order based on the number of reviews and stars. Also, I included the release date of the colors so that you can that into account with the number of reviews.

Where Can I Buy It?

Whenever I buy K-Beauty, I do shop at a couple of different places. If you want to see all of the places that I shop at, you can check them all out here.  I picked these up at several different places, including Style Korean and Olive Young. With a number of the places I shop for cosmetics at, you can also use Rakuten for cash back off of your purchases on their site.

What is Rakuten?

Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!

If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from.  Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!

Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!

사랑합니다!
