Too Cool for School Dinoplatz Lost Identity

Too Cool for School is a Korean makeup brand targeted to the young. I found out about this brand randomly when I entered their store while walking around in Seoul during my trip to Korea a few months ago. I've never heard of this store before but I was automatically drawn to it cause of the store's interior. It was different from most Korean makeup stores because it wasn't full of pink and cutesy things (ya know what I mean), not that I don't like those brands, Too Cool for School just stood out more among it. (Think a Korean, 'edgier', Benefit.)

I recently found out that they've opened a store here in the Philippines, in Mall of Asia to be exact. I hardly go to that mall since it's quite far and too big that I'd get lost, but I'm willing to go all the way there just to pay that store a visit. Hopefully they'll branch out soon and open in other malls in the Metro. Crossing my fingers!
Too Cool for School has a product called the Dinoplatz Lost Identity. They have three shades available: Lost in You Pink, Lost in Hawaii Orange and the green one in the photo above which is Lost in Dinoplatz Mint. The idea of this product is that it changes color once applied to the lips. 
I swatched this on the back of my hand in the store and I loved the shade of pink that it produced on my skin. When I finally used it on my lips, I noticed that it turned out more pink than how it was swatched on my hand. I still liked how it looked on my lips but that's just something to keep in mind before purchasing this! Make sure you actually try it on your lips first (wipe the entire lip product with tissue first for sanitation) because you might like how it looks on your hand but not like how it looks on your lips.

I own a red lip and cheek tint from The Body Shop already and I love that, but this is nice to own so I can switch up the colors on my lips when I want to. As I've said before, lip tints come in handy for students like me because it looks natural and lasts pretty long. It glides on like a lip balm but eventually dries up on the lips just like any other lip tint. Apply this on smooth lips and apply a lip balm before the Dinoplatz if your lips are dry.

Availability: I bought this while I was in Korea, and this product isn't on the Too Cool for School Philippines website so I'm not sure if it's available in MOA.
Price: 11,000 won / around PHP 430
Size: 2.5 g
