NOONI Korean Lip Oil - Appleberry | Long-Lasting, Moisturizing, Plumping, Revitalizing for Dry Lips, Waterproof, No Peel Off, Hydrating Nourishing Crystal Clear Lip Stain, Stocking Stuffers 0.12 FL Oz

I picked up this lip oil from nooni (in appleblacktea) after seeing it all over social media, and I can see why people like it, but the color ended up being a bit different on me than I expected. First, the formula itself is really nice. It feels lightweight, smooth, and genuinely hydrating without being sticky. It gives a glossy, healthy look to the lips and feels comfortable to wear. The main thing to know is that this is a pH-reactive lip product. That means it changes color based on your individual skin chemistry. The formula reacts with the natural pH of your lips and develops into a personalized shade, which is why it can look so different from person to person. On me, with very pale, cool-toned skin, it turned into a fairly bright, cool pink. It’s definitely more vibrant than I was hoping for. A lot of the swatches I saw online were on deeper skin tones where it looked more subtle and natural, but on me it reads much brighter. Because of that, I actually wish the color payoff were a bit softer. The lip oil itself is so nice that I’d love to reapply it freely throughout the day, but if I layer it too much, my lips end up looking pretty intensely pink. I added photos for reference, immediately after application, after 5 minutes, and after 15 minutes. You can see it cools down quite a bit and turns a truer pink tone. What works best for me is using just a small dab and then either blotting it down or topping it with a clear gloss. That way I still get the hydration and a soft flush without the color becoming overwhelming. Overall, this is a really nice lip oil in terms of texture and hydration. Just be aware that the pH color can pull quite bright, especially on lighter skin tones.

Juicy, hydrated, and effortlessly glossy 💧✨ Nooni lip oil gives the perfect sheer tint while keeping your lips soft, plump, and glowing never sticky, just that “your lips but better” shine.

This lip oil is really lovely! The color is nice and stays a very long time, it’s quite moisturizing, and the feel of it isn’t sticky. The applicator is a bit small but works well. However, my new tube came like 30% empty which isn’t great, and why I can’t give it 5 stars. Everything else about it is great though!

I've tried several shades in this lip oil line (Appleberry, Appleblacktea, Applecherry, Apple Cranberry, and Appleginseng), and while they all have slightly different ingredient blends and scents, they behave very similarly on the lips. The base formula across all of them is consistent, lightweight, and like a gloss and oil hybrid that leans more cosmetic gloss than hydrating oil treatment. Each version does include different extracts (berry, cherry, cranberry, ginseng, etc.), but the biggest thing to note is that they all develop into a very similar bright pink stain after application. The initial tint may look different in the tube, but once it settles, the end result is nearly identical across all shades. I was especially excited for Appleblacktea and it wound up being irritating with the capsicum pepper extract in its formula, and it turns the same hot pink shade on my lips, looking nothing like the cool toned purple it appears as in its tube. None of them have a super flattering shade on me. Several versions / flavors include plumping or stimulating ingredients like ginger or capsicum (pepper), which can cause a warming or tingling sensation. Appleblacktea was a bit too irritating for my lips, personally, so those with sensitivity may want to check the ingredient list closely. If you're choosing between shades, I'd recommend focusing more on the scent and ingredient profile rather than expecting dramatically different colors. All the shades look similar on the lips, so you don't really need more than one. Of the ones I've tried, Appleberry seems to have the most botanical oils and fragrance, Appleblacktea has chili pepper for extra tingling and plumping, Applecherry is loaded with peptides, Apple Cranberry is a bunch of fruit extracts and a slight tingle from ginger oil, and Appleginseng is the same base formula with ginseng added in. It is an okay fruity gloss, but worth understanding that they all turn a "universal hot pink" type of shade rather than giving a tint similar to what you see in the tube.

Bought this to see if it would match my other lip oils. VERY BADD!! Dried out my lips when I wore it at overnight and during the day

I just bought this product and really like it so far! It's more moisturizing than I expected and has a very light pleasant scent (fruity-floral). It's not sticky which is great. I used a very light swipe in the second picture (black shirt), it moisturized and lightly tinted, so light that I wasn't sure it left any colour at all until I washed my face at night and realized my make-up remover was taking off pink from my lips! Day two, I put it on much heavier and it's very obviously brighter but still in the realm of natural lip shade, just heightened. With a thicker application, the scent is stronger and feels weightier on the lips (but still not sticky!!). I also tested a swatch on the back of hand to see the shade and how long it would take to lose the gloss and become more of a lip stain. It absorbs slowly over a few hours, leaving the colour and a very light gloss but with a minor sheen, more like cherry Chapstick, and still feeling very moisturized. With all the test applications, the shade took a few minutes to really activate (perhaps body temperature or pH plays a role?) so I'd suggest starting with an almost dry applicator and layering so you can find the shade and amount of product that works for you. I would reapply after eating but I haven't worn for a full 8-12 hours yet. I recommend this product if you're looking for something moisturizing, low maintenance, variable transparency options, stain-like look after a few hours. Not a good match for a long-lasting high shine, super bright shade, or totally transparent. It also swatched brighter on my hand vs my lips on day one, so definitely do a test drive and play with the amount of product on your lips before committing to it as part of your look! Best surprise: very moisturizing, even with very dry chapped lips Worst surprise: different shades, a bit unpredictable (I actually like this and find it fun, and I don't mind a super bright shade if it goes that way but I think most people would be put off by that)

Love the color and for once a lip oil is not sticky overall would recommend however afterwards it makes your lips dry.

Nice colour and moisturizing.. will buy again

Love this so hydrating looks beautiful and leaves an amazing stain I've gotten so many of my close family and friends hooked on these, they are just so nice, but I do find them rather small.
