UYU REVIEW: bb cosmetic x touch in sol METALLIST SHADOW + LIPSTICK DUOS use “bbuyuro” on bbcosmetic for 8% off!

I’d actually never heard of Touch in Sol before I reviewed these products. After doing some searching around, I found that they’re reasonably popular and they’re even sold at Sephora. Their prices seem to be a little above roadshop level but not too pricey either. Their Brand Story also shows that they’ve worked with Ailee and A Pink before! Overall, the general look of the brand seems to be geared towards unique and pigmented products, and the Metallist duos that I’m reviewing today seem to be amongst their most popular products.

BB Cosmetic is a relatively new Korean beauty store, and they stock a lot of the more popular Korean brands + they ship worldwide for free! 💗 Their prices are really affordable and competitive with some of my other faves with free shipping like Jolse and Beautynetkorea, as well as eBay stores.

I personally love BB Cosmetic and it’s become one of my go-to websites for Korean beauty shopping. While they do provide me products to review, I shop there frequently as well~ I would highly suggest BB Cosmetic if you live in the US because they have USPS shipping which arrives super quick!

Disclaimer: These items were sent to me for review and consideration by BB Cosmetic. I am not being compensated for this review and opinions are always 100% honest.

So today I will be reviewing two of the Metallist Liquid Foil and Glitter Shadow Duos and one of the Metallist Liquid Foil Lipstick Duos.

Here is the packaging! All of the boxes have a rhombus shape which all fit together. I really like the design of the packaging to be honest. It’s designed well and has a lot of impact, plus the font is consistent through all their products.

The shadow and lipstick duo have similar packaging, except that the lipstick duo has a shiny center, plus the ‘liquid’ side has a matte container. Since they are all duos, they’re double ended and each side can be twisted open separately.

Here are some first swatches, all colours are labelled. My first thoughts were that all the colours were super pigmented!! Also, the glitter doesn’t stick very well on it’s own and definitely fares better if you put it on top of a base (such as the liquid shadow).

Here are the swatches in a different light, just to show how they shift in colour (ignore the rightmost swatch!)

✏️ ABOUT THE ITEM: METALLIST SHADOW DUO

FEATURES

Rich, metallic pigment with a foil finish in one swipe.

Turn up the intensity by patting Foil Finish Glitter on top of the Metallist Liquid.

No parabens, sulfates, phthalates.

There are 10 different shades in the Metallist Shadow Duo range and there are a lot of different colours. I picked Margaret, which is a champagne-copper colour, and Adelio, which is a burgundy colour. The liquid side has a doe foot applicator while the glitter side has a silicon brush-like applicator.

INGREDIENTS

#Margaret

Liquid: Water, Butylene glycol, Calcium sodium borosilicate, Calcium aluminium borosilicate, Titanium oxide, Mica, Diglycerin, CI 77491, Glass, PEG-240/HDI copolymer bis-decyltetradeceth-20 ether, Silica, 1,2-hexanediol, Glycerol, Synthetic fluorphlogopite, Magnesium aluminium silicate, PVOH, Phenoxyethanol, Tin oxide, Ethylhexylglycerin, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Potassium laurate, Dibutyl hydroxy toluene Glitter: Calcium titanium borosilicate, Synthetic fluorphlogopite, Capric / Caprylic triglyercides, Titanium oxide, Diisostearyl malate, Mica, CI 77491, Tin oxide, Chlorphenesin, Capryl glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin

Glitter: Synthetic fluorphlogopite, Calcium titanium borosilicate, CI 77491, Mica, Capric / Caprylic triglyercides, Diisostearyl malate, Titanium oxide, Chlorphenesin, Tin oxide, Capryl glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin

It was such a struggle getting these ingredient lists up since, for some reason, their official website had the ingredients listed in an image… so I had to type those all out in Korean and then translate it. (Afternote: I realised after writing all these that Sephora actually lists the ingredients. RIP.)

Anyway, the ingredients between the colours are quite similar. I didn’t see anything too out of the ordinary except glass. I thought it was odd at first but I guess it’s what they used as glitter in the Margaret shade.

PRICING + WHERE TO FIND

BB Cosmetic: $16.98 (free shipping worldwide)

Beauty Box Korea: $17.90 (shipping by weight)

Sephora: $25.00 (free shipping over $50, US only)

Touch in Sol: ₩17,500 / $15.20 (flat rate shipping, Korea only)

Yesstyle: $27.90 (free shipping over $50)

BB Cosmetic is the cheapest out of all the sites and probably the most easily accessible since it comes with free shipping already - unless you’re in the US and need it ASAP, then you could also get it from Sephora. Don’t forget you can use ‘BBUYURO’ for an additional 8% off at BB Cosmetic.

Here are the official swatches for Margaret and Adelio, respectively. The columns show liquid, glitter and mix.

In this photo Penny looks quite similar to Adelio but in other lighting they look completely different. This shows just how much the colours can change! Like I said above, just one swipe is super pigmented. I did find the stopper a little annoying to see so the first swatch of Adelio is a little lumpy, sorry!

📷 PHOTOS + DETAILS: METALLIST SHADOW DUO

This look features the Metallist Shadow Duo in Margaret all over the lid (I only use the liquid side for this look plus the one below).

All over lid: Touch in Sol Metallist Shadow Duo (Margaret) Eyeliner: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner Primer: Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer

This look features Metallist Shadow Duo in Adelio, as well as some other products:

Here’s a photo with both (different) eye looks.

Another photo showing the Margaret eye look.

METALLIST SHADOW DUO RATING: 4 / 5

From the start, I was super impressed with the pigmentation. The liquid shadows are super pigmented with one swipe but you can also choose to sheer it out a little and use as a topper. I really like that versatility because I know I’m not a person that would use OTT glittery shadows everyday.

Margaret is a nice champagne colour that can easily be worn on it’s own when blended out, or you can pack it on more intensely for a dazzling copper colour.

Adelio is a nice burgundy colour which I don’t wear as often. I don’t like to wear the sheered liquid burgundy colour as much as Margaret, although that’s a personal preference as to what I like in daily shadows. However, I do like using it with my Modern Renaissance palette when I can be bothered to do fancier eye looks. It’s a really beautiful colour overall.

The lasting power was also great. The glitter in the liquid shadows stays well as does the colour. I didn’t have a problem with them wearing off after around 8 hours. Using these shades would be great for a night out.

While I love the liquid eyeshadow part of the duo, I’m not really a fan of the glitter part. For one, it’s super messy. As soon as you take the brush out, there’s already glitter fallout. Some parts can also fall out when it’s applied. I didn’t have any falling during wear but I mean when you’re applying it to your eye, it can fall everywhere which makes me super wary. I just find using the glitter a little bit of a hassle, so when I do use it I either use it on my undereye or just pat a little with my finger on the centre of my eye. I find using the brush generates a lot more fallout.

💖 Pros: Long-lasting, amazing pigmentation, unique colour selection, two in one product 💔 Cons: Glitter side has problems with fallout

✏️ ABOUT THE ITEM: METALLIST LIPSTICK DUO

A lush, creamy, matte metallic liquid color on one side and the perfect matching glittering gloss on the other

Creamy and long-wearing formula

There are 7 colours in the Metallist Lipstick Duo range with a few more unconventional colours but nothing too out there. You can see all the colours in the swatches below.

INGREDIENTS

#Penny

Liquid: Isododecane, Mica, Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Iron oxide red, Polyisobutene, Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Calcium aluminium borosilicate, Titanium oxide, Disteardimonium hectorite, Kaolinite, Microcrystalline wax, Silica dimethicone silylate, C30-45 alkyldimethylsilyl polypropylsilsesquioxane, Black iron oxide, Propylene carbonate, CI 15850:1, Fragrance, Methylhydrogenpolysiloxane, Hydrogenated polyisobutene, Tocopheryl acetate, Tin oxide, Phenoxyethanol, Hexadecanoic acid, Green tea extract, Apricot kernel oil, Capric / Caprylic triglyercides, Centella asiatica extract, Benzoic acid, Butylene glycol, Rose extract, Water

After running through cosDNA, quite a few ingredients came up as acne triggers but I don’t think it’s a huge problem as it’s a lip product.There are also a lot of extracts towards the bottom of the ingredient list.

PRICING + WHERE TO FIND

BB Cosmetic: $16.98 (free shipping worldwide)

Beauty Box Korea: $22.52 (shipping by weight)

Sephora: $25.00 (free shipping over $50, US only)

Touch in Sol: ₩17,500 / $15.20 (flat rate shipping, Korea only)

Yesstyle: $16.90 (free shipping over $50)

Again, BB Cosmetic seems to be the best price although Yesstyle isn’t too bad if you were already planning to order something there. Be aware that Yesstyle does have a very long processing time for some of the colours though.

📷 PHOTOS + DETAILS: METALLIST LIPSTICK DUO

Here are the offical lip swatches for the colour #Penny.

And here are my swatches! Compared to the official lip swatch, on me it looks less copper and more cool toned, although it does look exactly like the official arm swatches a couple pics above.

METALLIST LIPSTICK DUO RATING: 4 / 5

I do have to say that I was really impressed with the liquid lipstick’s formula. It felt super lightweight and it had a sort of powder finish that made it comfortable, and it didn’t feel sticky at all. It dried fairly fast also. I’m usually not a fan of liquid lipsticks because all the formulas I’ve tried have been really drying and over-emphasise lines but this one wasn’t bad. I didn’t really like the gloss as much though. I’m not really a fan of glosses in general, and this one felt super thick and sticky. You can see that it definitely does add a little more dimension when layered with the liquid but I feel like the liquid is intense enough already.

For lasting power, the lipstick was great on it’s own. Again, it was comfortable and I didn’t have to reapply during the day. With the gloss, obviously it does wear off a bit more easily and I didn’t like the transfer.

I do really like the concept of this lipstick duo and I think I would definitely use something like this for nights out. I do wish I had chosen a different colour - since I’m warm toned and this colour is cool toned it does look a little odd. I think either Maria, Zaza or Jasmine might have looked a little better!

Overall, I think if you’re in the market for a dramatic, metallic lip product and don’t mind glosses, this is a pretty good product. This isn’t my favourite lip product due to the colour mostly, but I’m going to try experimenting using it as a lip topper for some other products and see if I can make this colour work!

💖 Pros: Great pigmentation, comfortable liquid lipstick formula, long-lasting 💔 Cons: Thick gloss formula
