[REVIEW] 3CE Matte Lip Color (#402 Fuchsia) & Dangerous Matte Lip Color (#808 Spotted)

Hey everyone!

3 Concept Eyes Matte Lip Color (#402 Fuchsia)

Today, I'm going to review 3CE (a.k.a 3 Concept Eyes) Lip Colors from their Matte and Dangerous Matte collections.
3CE is famous for their lip colours and lip pigments and their at the medium to high-end brand so you'll expect slightly higher prices for their products that they're selling.

3CE lip colours claim that their lip colours or lipsticks are super pigmented. I always wanted to try out their lippies ever since I discovered the brand, 3CE.

So I picked up two colours. The first one is #402 Fuchsia, which is a very bright and girly pink.
Honestly speaking, this is one of the best lipsticks I've ever owned, no joke. Pigmentation is freaking amazing. You only need to apply the lipstick once, that's it. It just glides on your mouth, it doesn't drag at all. The colour pay-off and finish is just incredible.
I was quite hesitant because this lipstick is matte, but it turned out to be creamy, with a matte-texture! Like I couldn't believe it. I naturally have dry, flaky and chapped lips but it never once dry out when I applied this on for the whole day! I was 100% impressed that it didn't dry out my lips at all, despite it being a matte lipstick. It's matte, don't worry.
The longevity is also really good. Very super long-lasting. I am in love with this lipstick. I did not use a lip liner or any lip products before or after applying the 3CE lipstick.
It's a very bold colour and I never thought I would ever purchase this, ever, but I bought it anyway because the colour is just too pretty to resist. Not an everyday wearable colour, but it's a nice addition to my collection.
Also, I'm a huge fan of the packaging of their lipsticks. It's matte, rectangular and black! Everything that I look for in a packaging. Simple, yet classy. It's also very light.

Some lipsticks tend to move around a lot on the lips but this doesn't move around at all, mainly because it's matte. Glossy, shiny and creamy lippies tend to move around and doesn't stay on the lips line (sometimes).

Price: 17,900KRW
Store Location: 3Concept Eyes branches, Sephora (Worldwide)
Size/Amount of Product: 3.5g
Would I repurchase it? Well, I don't think I'll be using this lip colour much, because as I said, it's not an everyday wearable colour, but if I were to buy the same exact colour again, I would either pick this or M.A.C Cosmetics' Candy Yum Yum lipstick (they're both exactly the same, but 3CE's matte).

Pros:
-Very pigmented
-Matte-finish
-Moisturising/creamy
-Long-lasting
-Won't dry out lips
-Amazing colour pay-off
-Doesn't move around

Cons:
-A little bit pricey

Overall Comment:
Love, love, love this lipstick. It's one of the best lipsticks I've ever owned. Mainly because it has everything I want in one lipstick (just without SPF/sun protection).

3CE Dangerous Matte Lip Color (#808 Spotted)

The second colour Dangerous Matte #808 Spotted, which is a reddish-fuchsia lipstick. It's like a red lipstick with a pink undertone to it.
This Dangerous Matte lipstick is from their Pink Rumour collection, which comes with a baby pink packaging. It's different from their normal and original packaging.
Frankly speaking, everything is pretty much the same as the first lipstick that I reviewed above (#402 Fuchsia Matte Lip Color) but only more matte and obviously a different lip colour.
It is creamy but has a matte finish, colour pay-off is again, amazing and it's long-lasting. Plus, it doesn't move around (stays on the lips very well) and packaging is nice too (although I would prefer their original packaging).
(Sorry if the colour looks completely different from the close-up and full-face photos, lighting was terrible).

I also love how pigmented it is with just one swipe on the hand.
Would I repurchase this again? I feel like I would get a better lip colour with the same exact shade, texture, quality with a more affordable price but if I would repurchase this again if I can't find a better one.

Both the pros and cons are the same. Exactly the same. Just the lip colour is different. I honestly love both colours equally.

Overall Comment:
Colour is amazing. Very pigmented and long-lasting. Not too drying. Creamy but has a matte-finish. Nice packaging and sits nicely on the lips. Doesn't move around too. Worth for the price.
