Muzigae Mansion released two new product lines last week: glossy lip tints called "Objet Glossy Tint" and shimmer liquid blushes called "Objet Blush". I've been wanting to try out this brand for some time, so I picked up the tint in shade 001 "Peach Drop" and the blush in shade 009 "Bunny" during the recent Olive Young sale. My purchase also came with a small pot of Velvet Lip and Cheek Balm in the shade "Peach Balm" as a GWP.
Objet Blush: 009 Bunny
Matte blushes with a whitish base have been popular in K-beauty in the past few months, so as a shimmer lover, I was excited to see a new shimmer liquid blush on the market. I picked up shade 009 "Bunny", which is supposed to be the popular "bunny tongue" shade. I dot the product onto my cheeks and blend with my fingers; brushes and puffs eat up too much of the product for this formula IMO. It has a subtle floral scent that is only barely noticeable upon application, but it's something to be aware of if you're super sensitive to scented products.
- Finish: The official product description claims the product imparts a "three-dimensional watercolor-like glow". The formula contains micro shimmers, and it gives a sophisticated glow without looking outright glittery. For me, it's glowy enough that I don't feel the need to use a separate highlighter when using this blush. I really like how it looks on me.
- Pigmentation: This is a sheer blush. It really is a watercolor-like wash of color on the cheeks. You could try building it up, but then you run the risk of messing up your base makeup & it still won't be very pigmented even at 2-3 layers. It works for me as I usually go with more subtle blush looks and prefer forgiving formulae–however, this product will not work if you want a bold look and/or have a deeper skin tone than light/fair.
- Lasting Power: The blush stayed on my cheeks for 6+ hours on top of my usual base makeup (I have normal/combo skin). This was indoors with air conditioning, though. I suspect it definitely won't last as long in more humid conditions.
Objet Glossy Tint: 001 Peach Drop
I really don't need a new lip tint, but I justified the purchase by telling myself that I don't have a peachy-coral lip product lol. While I was worried shade 001 was going to be too bright and orange-y based on the packaging color, it settles down to a slightly less saturated, more pinkish color (as seen in the swatches) once applied.
- Finish: It gives a nice glossy finish without feeling heavy or sticky. I don't think it's super glassy/shiny as some of the other viral K-beauty lip tints. It's not very hydrating on its own, so I'd combine it with a lip balm to make sure my lips don't dry out & to provide a smoother base.
- Lasting Power: The lasting power is genuinely impressive, especially for a glossy formula. I applied this tint after lunch, and the stain easily survived two cups of coffee, an ice cream, and my dinner meal for 6+ hours until my evening shower.
- Fragrance: It has an artificial floral scent. I personally think it's on the less noticeable side among the lip products I've tried, but fragrance is always YMMV for everyone.
Velvet Lip and Cheek Balm: Peach Balm
Currently, this product is not available for purchase as a full standalone product. The only way to get it as of now is to buy the Olive Young exclusive Objet Glossy Tint and Lip and Cheek Balm duo set. There are also only two shades right now: Peach Balm and Grape Balm. It's another matte lip mud/clay/pot formula. To be honest, I haven't tested this product on its own extensively yet. It was nice enough when I wore it underneath the Objet Glossy Tint. However, I'm not yet sure if it's better than other similar offerings on the market. Still, I'd be curious to see them turning it into a full product and expanding the shade range since it seems other Muzigae Mansion matte lip products are rated pretty highly.
Overall, I'll probably purchase the Glossy Tint in other shades after I finish some of my other lip products. As for the liquid blush, I do really like the finish, but I'll have to swatch other shades in person before deciding whether I want to get more–I'm not sure if different shades will show up differently enough on the skin because of how sheer the formula is.
