"Is This 60,000 Won?" Prada Lipstick B101 Tiepolo Honest Swatch (ft. Ultimate Small Luxury, Soft Matte Review)

Folks! Folks! 💄 This is a 'hot item' that's been all the rage among K-beauty enthusiasts recently, isn't it? Just looking at it makes you want to own it! Prada Beauty has finally landed in Korea, and among its products, the most popular Monochrome Lipstick in B101 Tiepolo color! ✨ I finally got my hands on it.

From the design that instantly makes you exclaim "Typical Prada!", to its subtle color, and smooth application! I'll now share my honest review on why everyone is seeking this lipstick as their 'small luxury' item! 🚀

Prada launching a beauty line! I was excited just by the news, but seeing it in person made me fall in love even more. 😭
Especially the signature Monochrome Lipstick, the case itself is simply a 'work of art'.

Among them, the best-selling color that many people are most curious about, B101 Tiepolo (Soft Matte)! I've tried it myself.

1. "The Case Says It All!" Design That Evokes a Desire to Own ✨

First of all... the case is truly beautiful. Prada's unique triangle logo combined with luxurious gold & silver! Even the angular rectangular ring design... it's a visual that will certainly catch eyes the moment you pull it out of your pouch.

Magnetic Closure: The magnetic mechanism that goes 'clack!' when you open and close the lid! (Adds +1 to luxury)
Refillable!: You can keep the case and later just buy a refill to replace the content! (It's a bit pricey, but the refill will be cheaper, right? 😉)
Details: The lipstick bullet itself has Prada's iconic material textures engraved on it. The 'Soft Matte' line, which I purchased, has the texture of 'Re-Nylon fabric', while the 'Hyper Matte' line is said to feature the 'Saffiano leather' texture. (It's so beautiful, how can I even use it... 😭)

(🚨 Oh! But be a little careful when opening it for the first time, as the refill cartridge might pop out of the case! It's not a defect; just press it firmly until you hear a click, and it will be properly inserted!)

2. "What Color Is It, Exactly?" The Elusive B101 Tiepolo Shade 🎨

This is truly a captivating point. Descriptions of the B101 Tiepolo shade vary slightly across reviews.

Official Description: "A neutral nude brown featuring a delicate pink touch."
Actual Swatch Reviews: "Looks like peach beige," "Has a dried rose pink mood," "A hint of coral," "It's an MLBB nude brown"...

Q. Why do the descriptions vary so much? 🤔

A. Because it's such a 'neutral' base color! The pink, coral, beige, or brown undertones appear differently depending on the wearer's natural lip color and skin tone. That's what makes it an even more attractive 'personal MLBB' color!

Versatility: It looks naturally beautiful worn alone and is perfect as a base before applying other lip colors. It's a great everyday lipstick that's easy to use, and it's a best-seller for a reason! 👍

3. "Is This Matte?" Soft Matte Application & Scent

The name is 'Soft Matte', but it applies so smoothly that you could almost omit the word 'matte'. The texture itself is light.

Application: Zero stiffness! It glides on smoothly without emphasizing lip lines or dead skin cells. (Contains Bifidus extract + jojoba oil!)
Finish: It dries to a matte finish without feeling greasy, but I barely felt any dryness. It feels like a comfortable semi-matte!
Color Payoff: The color appears quite vibrant with just one swipe.
Longevity: The color is said to last for about 6 hours. (Though it will certainly come off after eating!)
Scent: It has a classic lipstick scent. A powdery scent that reminds me of my mom's vanity from childhood? (I didn't find it off-putting!)

4. Price & Purchase Information 💸

Retail Price: 60,000 KRW (Yes... the price is steep... 😅)
Refill Price: Not yet determined, but expected to be cheaper than the full product (around 40,000 KRW?)
Where to Buy: Prada Beauty offline stores, pop-up stores, KakaoTalk Gift (카카오톡 선물하기), etc.

"Beautiful. Luxurious. Smooth. (But expensive...)"

Prada Monochrome Lipstick B101 Tiepolo is definitely a great item for a 'small luxury' mood boost. Especially as a gift, it's a fail-proof color and design. ✨

It's highly recommended for those who couldn't wear matte lipsticks due to dryness, and those looking for a sophisticated daily MLBB lipstick that suits any skin tone! (The fact that it's refillable is also a long-term advantage!)

What's your 'all-time favorite' MLBB lipstick? 🤔 I'd love to hear reviews from those who've tried Prada lipstick!
