ROSE QUARTZ & SERENITY
This year’s Pantone colours of the year, Rose Quartz and Serenity are absolutely beautiful and when VDL had collaborated with Pantone, I knew I had to get my hands on this. Purely because of the ombre packaging and the colours. Looking at the products, I had my heart set on this due to the marbling of the two shades in this.
For those who haven’t heard of VDL, they are a Korean brand founded by LG and are really known for their revolutionary, innovative cube lipstick. Yes you’ve read it right, LG, cube lipstick. Now back to this lip cube. There are three shades released in this collaboration and this shade, Tranquility, is the only one that is more of a tinted lip balm. The combination of both Rose Quartz and Serenity combines into a light pink shade with blue undertones.
When applied onto the lips, it’ll help enhance your natural lip colour, like your lips but better. This reminds me of the Dior Lip Glow Colour Awakening balm but less pigmented. It glides on smoothly and with one swipe, you get a nice sheen of colour without the sticky feel. The colour can be built up but I have found that it will not be 100% opaque and I’m OK with that. It is moisturising but it’s not the best for chapped lips. If your lips are just dry and need some moisture then this will work better for you. As with most lip balms, the wear time is a few hours and doesn’t really last whilst eating and drinking. I can’t describe the smell but it is pleasant.
It’s aesthetically pleasing and I love carrying it around with me. I’ll be using other lip balms when my lips are chapped though. VDL is a brand that is hard to get my hands on but was lucky enough to get one thanks to my cousin in Hong Kong. I wish I had visited the stores to check out what VDL has in store when I was visiting Hong Kong back in August. Next time.
Are you as aesthetically pleased as I was, well still am?

It is interesting that it is a cube shape. Is it still comfortable to apply?
This is awesome! I love K Beauty and it makes me giggle that LG are he ones that bought the sqaure lippy in to our lives! x
I love the shade of this and the colours in the actual stick.
I agree it is very pretty and would make a nice gift
That is so funky! It is definitely aesthetically pleasing and would make a perfect present for a beauty fanatic!
What a strange lipstick! I really like the shape and the colour 🙂
Ohh now I love that colour – I could totally buy into this myself!
This looks lovely, I adore the packaging x
I absolutely love the packaging and it's nice to have something which is designed to enhance your own lips x
Wow! A cube lipstick is so unique! I like that you can build up the colour and have it as intense as you like, so cool!
Who knew tranquillity was a colour?! Love it! I love the mottled effect and it sounds nice that it glides on and doesn't feel sticky. I don't wear a lot of lipsticks because of that. I'll have to look out for this one!
I love pretty packaging and this one really hits the spot. It's a shame that it is tricky to get hold of! xx
Love the Pantone reference!! What a beautiful shade and love the square shape!
The packaging is stunning, and the shade is very soft and pretty.
