Rom&nd - Juicy Lasting Tint Original Series No.9 Litchi Coral

rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint – Original Series No. 09 Litchi Coral

The Juicy Lasting Tint from rom&nd’s Original Series is a hybrid lip product combining the characteristics of gloss, lipstick and tint. Shade #09 Litchi Coral is positioned within this series as a “smooth coral” shade. 
Specifically, the brand describes #09 Litchi Coral as having a dewy coral tone. 

Shade Description

• Tone & undertone: Litchi Coral is described as a clear, warm coral—leaning toward a bright or mid-tone coral rather than a muted brown-coral.

• Finish: On first application, the finish is glossy and syrup-like, giving the lips a juicy, plumped look. Over time the shine may fade, leaving behind a soft, tinted stain. 

• Wear effect: Many users find that on lighter lips it gives a fresh coral-pop, while on deeper pigments it acts as a vibrant coral wash. A reddit user commented:

Key Features

1. Gloss + Tint Hybrid Formula

• The product is designed to deliver the shine of a gloss, the pigment of a lipstick, and the lasting effect of a tint.

• The described texture is “clear and syrupy” and then transitions into a light-tint effect. 

2. Fruit-Inspired Shades & Packaging

• This series is inspired by “juicy” or “ripe fruit” aesthetics—bright, vivid, candy-coated gloss colours.

• Litchi Coral fits into that motif by offering a coral tone reminiscent of a litchi or tropical fruit coral shade.

3. Comfortable Wear

• Users note that the formula avoids heavy or sticky feeling, preferring a lightweight texture.

• The formulation includes fruit-extract inspired ingredients such as kiwi, papaya, grapefruit, coconut, mango, guava. 

4. Pigmentation & Versatility

• With full application, the colour payoff is strong; with sheer application or inner-lip usage, it can function as a subtle coral wash or create a gradient effect. For example:

  “It’s a super bright orange reddish coral. No brick or brown tone in it though.”

  This makes it suitable for both casual everyday wear and more vibrant stylings.

Application Tips

• For a natural look: Apply a small amount at the inner lip and press lips together, or diffuse outward for a softer effect.

• For bold lips: Apply to full lip surface; you may build a second layer to intensify the coral tone.

• Because of the gloss → tint transition, you may wish to re-apply or touch up if you prefer the glossy finish to last.

• If your lips are dry or textured, prepping with a balm or gentle exfoliation may help ensure even finish, especially given that users of this series have noted dryness or uneven wear on dry lips. 

Ideal For

• Anyone seeking a bright coral with warm undertones—especially flattering on warm or neutral-warm skin tones.

• Users who prefer a glossy initial look that transforms into a tinted stain rather than heavy matte lip colours.

• Occasions from everyday to casual-chic where you want a lively pop of coral rather than deep red or brown tones.

Considerations

• While the pigment remains after the gloss fades, the high-gloss appearance will diminish over time and may require re-application if you wish to maintain peak shine.

• Some users of the Juicy Lasting Tint line have reported lip irritation (cheilitis) or dryness as a reaction to the formula.  It may be wise to patch-test if you have sensitive lips.

• On quite pigmented lips, the coral tone may shift slightly or deepen; visuals can vary with lip base colour and lighting.

Summary

The #09 Litchi Coral shade from rom&nd’s Juicy Lasting Tint Original Series offers a fresh, glossy coral lip look that transitions into a long-wearing tint. With its warm coral tone, fruit-inspired finish, and hybrid formula, it’s a strong option for those who enjoy vibrant lip colour with comfortable wear. Just keep in mind the formula’s dynamics (gloss → tint) and consider lip prep and potential sensitivity if you’ve experienced reactions before.
