So I had to admit, my Gmarket order was pretty big and I did get a lot. Since it's coming from overseas, I decided to find all the things I really wanted, combine and have it all arrive at the same time. I was searching for the VOV Castledew stuff but instead the VOV Showcase line stood out with it's cuteness that I had to have something! The lipgloss set was the one that really caught my eye. Such cute colours and such cute packaging! Holy Cow! Look at the colours! Do they not look so pretty lying there?!
Well. Guess what? This product ain't that great as I thought it would be. It's rather a very big disappointment! I didn't take any lip-smacking photos this time and stuck with only swatches, only because they just do not work with my lips at all. My lips are quite "dark" so they don't show up at all on my lips! How can a shimmery pink, a nude pink and a vibrant orange all look the same on my lips?! Even the shimmer doesn't even make a difference. I'm very heavily disappointed in VOV. They show up on my hand but really, what's the use of that? Now I'm suspecting I got something from the kiddy line but is there such thing? I wish I could read Korean and find out. Also there is something really wrong with the amount that comes out of the actual tube. There is hardly any that comes out which makes me think that it's very dry. It's not. But wait- there are some good points to this lipgloss set! Besides the cute packaging, the consistancy of the lip gloss is really great! It's glossy but not too heavy. The shine is nice for any every day thing and my gosh, the scent is SO NICE! Others may argue that it smells like medicine but I love the Cherry popsicle scent it has! So is it a total let down? It's pretty 50/50. It's probably a very cute gift for someone though. =)
Pros: Cute packaging, SMELLS GREAT, Good formula(not too heavy)
Cons: NO PIGMENT AT ALL FOR DARK LIPS!
*Even though it didn't work for me, check out this blog to see how it worked on fair skin tones and the other products from this collection!

i luv the packaging and colors so much! but i also have pigmented lips=/
I ordered the same set:-D Havent tried it as Im planning to give two of my bffs the other 2 so we each have one to keep lol! I don't expect the quality to be that great, cos it was quite cheap. I also ordered the eyeshadow palette from VOV showcase collection too, turns out to be quite amazing!
hey, i would suggest you to buy canmake lip concealer as you said you have a quite dark lips colour. after you apply canmake lip concealer, your original lips colour will be erased. then apply vov showcase lip gloss. im sure you can see the colour tho ;D
