ARITAUM - World Glam Coating Tint (London, Paris) Best lip stain in the world? YSL glossy stain dupe, or even better

When YSL released their Glossy Stains, everyone was obsessed with it. I, as a lip stain lover, needed to try the YSL stains. I got it 2 years ago but I hated it. The colors are nice but I hated the texture. It feels like you have a film of plastic that bothers you all day. I was highly disappointed with YSL glossy stain. 

I also tried the Loreal stains that people said to be a perfect dupe of the YSL glossy stain. It was okay, but I was not impressed with the color range and the texture. Loreal was not worth the hype for me.

Then, I tried Missha's version of Glossy Stain. I really liked the color I got and staying power, finish was all good. However, there was one thing I wasn't pleased about, it was the weird film-like texture on the lips. Missha's lip stain was the best so far, but not a product I will repurchase.

When I visited South Korea over winter break, I saw Aritaum having 1 + 1 event for their new lip stain.   I went into the store and fell in love with the display. So many girls were competing to get the tester to swatch on their hands. 

Aritaum World Glam coating tint! (price: 8000 Korean won)

I didn't expect much about this product after failing several times on finding the perfect glossy stain. I tried this product and it was amazing. It had everything that I was looking for. It does not have the strange film texture, lasts a long time, have a pretty glossy finish, and wide color selection. It does not transfer or change color over time. 

I got the color London and Paris. The name of the product is World Glam coating tint because each shade is a name of a city! The name is written around the cap, which I found it very cute.

The applicator is very nice! it is tapered in the end, which allows precise application. This coating tint is very pigmented but you can dab it on for sheer natural look.

Paris is not this orange in real life. When you apply it, it is a very pretty coral color!
check out the color range which I will put it in the bottom.

As you can see, it is pigmented with lots of shine. The shine do wear off throughout time but it still looks amazing! This is now my holy grail product. If you are visiting Korea, please, please, pleaseee check this out. It is only $7.5 and I got this buy one get one free! Dont waste your money in YSL or any other dupes. Aritaum's coating tint is not even comparable. It is so much better than YSL glossy stain! 



Have you tried this lip stain? What is your Favorite color?

Krispy Kreme in Saket, New Delhi, India!



Its Krispy Kreme. What more can I say. To be honest, I was never the biggest fan of Krispy Kreme. They are really good, but I could not eat more than one original glazed donut because it is soooo sugary. Now my mind has changed. Krispy Kreme is amazing!

Krispy Kreme is at the City Walk mall, Saket. It replaced the Amichi counter in the first floor. Krispy Kreme had variety selection of donuts but I just went for the original (which is the bomb). They have the "red sign" when you can get warm donuts that are freshly made. They also had a section where you can see the donut making progress, which is always awesome to watch. 

Donuts are so soft and fluffy! I do notice a difference from Korean Krispy Kreme donuts. Korean ones were more chewy, while the Indian one is purely soft.

I think I need to go to Saket again soon to get another box of dozen.. :)
