You ever put something on and instantly feel like your life just upgraded? That was me the moment I swiped rom&nd’s 03 Bare Grape on my lips. I’m pretty new to K-beauty—my TikTok FYP bullied me into it—and now I totally get the hype. This tint?? A revelation.

The packaging alone is so sleek and candy-like, I’d buy it again just to pull it out of my bag dramatically in public. But the real kicker?

That texture. It’s glossy without being goopy, hydrating without that heavy-lip feeling, and somehow manages to cling to your lips like a lip mask—without the dreaded hair-stuck-to-gloss moment. It glides like jelly but sets like a tint. What kind of sorcery???

And 03 Bare Grape? A muted mauve-y purple that makes me look expensive. Like “I have a curated fragrance wardrobe and always drink iced americanos” kind of expensive. 

Bonus: it fades down to a cute flush instead of that weird patchy leftover line that most glosses leave.

Listen. I was a Fenty girl. I was a Glossier girl. But now? K-beauty is built DIFFERENT. If you see me applying this for the 10th time today, no you didn’t.
