Was tempted to try BBIA products for a long period and i finally got myself their well known red tube 04 lipstick,2 lipsticks from green tube (series 2) and i also got myself their liquid eyeliner in shade burgundy (will review it in my future post, stay tune *wink*)
the shades of the lipsticks i got are:
#04 Intelligent
#06 Imotional
#07 Dreamlike
01-05 are the first series of BBIA last lipstick, and among 01-05, 04 and 05 are the most popular shades, the reason i chose no4 is because it is quite nude so it's perfectly suitable for daily makeup or even with no makeup can apply it also , i didn't get no5 because it is in burgundy and i have a similar shades also
here are the official pictures of series 1 (red tube) and 2 (green tube)
Here are the lipsticks I have!

I already have 3 lipsticks from their series but I'm still tempted to get 08 and 09 from series 2, I read some review posts online saying that 09 is a substitute color (dupe) of MAC chili, so I think I will place order very soon hehe
What I think about these lipsticks,
1. Packaging.
Honestly this is one of the reasons why I get myself these lipsticks, the packaging looks simple and classic, it has metallic feel but yet it's plastic one
But do note that the color will have scratches on it if you put it in your bag, I knew it before I bought and I took a blogger advice so i didn't throw away the packaging box, so I will put it in the box before I put it in my bag
2. The lipstick itself.
They are matte lipsticks. But they are unlike those traditional matte lipsticks which are very dry and will make your lips chap, BBIA lipsticks are tend to a semi-matte one but yet have matte effect on your lips.
They are very smooth when you apply and if your lips are in good condition, you don't even need to apply lip balm before apply them.
Though it won't dry up your lips but the moisturizing of the lipsticks are so much better than other matte lipstick
3. Lasting power
It can last for 4-5 hours without eating (of course without licking your lips)
4. Removal
Can be easily removed by eyes and lips makeup remover
5. Others
I like to use them as blush! Easy to blend with foundation and spread over cheeks
Oh, official picture from BBIA warn that do not turn out too much of the product because the lipstick might break and there were few blogger said that they have the same experience.
Please be aware that there are a lot of fake BBIA lipsticks on the market, do buy from trusted seller or buy it directly from Korea websites.
Where you can get them.
1. qoo10 Malaysia- 2plus1

In conclusion:
Pros:

Long lasting
Won't chap your lips
Cons:

Turn out too much might break the lipstick
Rating: 4.5/5
