I mentioned on my previous review that lip tints never (and I mean literally NEVER) work on me. This time, I'm gonna review the Lip and Cheek Stains from Rraw PH! Will these do their job? Read on to find out!
About The Product
 |
| What: Rraw PH Lip & Cheek Stain Price and Where: Php 99 at Rraw PH |
How to Use:
Lips: Apply desired amount onto lips, allow to dry for 30-60 seconds and you're good to go!
Key Earthly Ingredients: Beetroot, H2O
I like the brand because they're organic and made locally. Everything is made from fresh, wild ingredients and are all crafted by hand! Beetroot is a main ingredient and if you have cooked/sliced/juiced beetroot before, you'll know they stain like crazy! I'm curious how Rraw made it work for them.
Packaging
Rraw PH recently changed the designs of most of their products. I bought this early January so my tints still have the old look. The old packaging is a clear 10-ml tube with a doe foot applicator. The cap has a sticker label with the product name and shade.
The new lip stain packaging look like the screencap below, The tints are now in a shorter 10-ml bottle with a brush applicator.
Aug 2017 Update: Looks like they reverted back to the lipfoot applicator!
Don't have a problem with the packaging but I just wish they put a more comprehensive ingredient list, either on the product or on their website. There's no mention what else this is made of aside from beetroot and water. Anyway, moving on...
Rraw PH currently has 5 shades available. I got the original three: Scallop, Vitrinella and Crasatella.
Scallop is described as a wine burgundy shade. It smells like strawberries. On the paper swatch, it really looks wine-colored. On me, however, it looks more brown.
Vitrinella is described as a deep red shade. It smells like cherries. From the swatches, you can see it has orange undertones
Crassatella is described as a bright red shade. It smells like bubblegum. This stayed true to description. This shade is red.
Note: shades may look different depending on your skin tone and undertones.
First of all, I think these stains are very promising. The color quickly clung to my skin after only just one swipe. The stains are sheer but the pigment is definitely there.
The texture varies among the shades. Crasatella has the thinnest, most flowy consistency among the three. Vitrinella is in the middle, while Scallop has the thickest, almost gel-ish consistency.
Before I show you swatches on my lips, lemme just tell you again that lip tints just NEVER work on me. No matter how much I exfoliate, my upper lip and the edges of my bottom lip won't absorb color. The tints just slide off.
Now, let's proceed...
Crasatella
The color is lovely. In real life, it's a just-bitten red that looks very natural on the lips. Plus points too because instead of sliding off, the tint actually tried to adhere to my upper lip. Too bad my lips rejected it.
Vitrinella
This almost looks like Crasatella but if you build it up, you'll notice it has more orange in it. This shade was more successful in staining my lips. The lip tint still won't stick to my lips properly but it definitely left pigment behind.

| See the little red specks? that's Crasatella trying to stick to my upper lips. It really tried haha |
This almost looks like Crasatella but if you build it up, you'll notice it has more orange in it. This shade was more successful in staining my lips. The lip tint still won't stick to my lips properly but it definitely left pigment behind.
Scallop
Oh, boy! Scallop successfully stained every surface of my lips! (!!!!!) I expected it to flub and settle only on the center of my lips since it's the darkest color, but it didn't. Needless to say, this is my favorite out of the three.
One swipe looks very natural but you can certainly build it up if you want to pack on the color. The tints won't dry matte. After settling down (about 3-5 mins), a super thin layer of oil will remain on top. I guess it's for moisturization. It's very lightweight, not uncomfortable or heavy at all. I actually just noticed it when I was rubbing my lips together. You can blot it off using a tissue.
In terms of staying power, it lasted through drinks but not through meals. I also noticed this is not transfer-proof. If you don't blot it off, it will transfer slightly but the stain will remain. My maximum wearing time is 3 hours.
Scallop is the most pigmented as a lip stain, but when I used it as a cheek stain, it was the sheerest among the three. It still added a pop of color to my cheeks. Vitrinella & Crasatella look great as a blush. Vitrinella will brighten up your face a lot while Crasatella will make you look blooming. All three look very natural. You can also build up the color.

Will I Repurchase?
Yes, especially Scallop! If your lips are just like mine, these are worth trying out. The shades are sheer and doesn't last that long but it's perfect for short errands and for general everyday use. The price is very affordable too, only Php 99 each! You can buy this through Rraw's physical outlets or through their online shop. Check out their links below!Hope this helped!
