This Nooni Appleberry Lip Oil (paid link) review is built from 615 customer reviews we read on YesStyle and Olive Young Global on October 15 and 16, 2026. About 38% report softer, hydrated lips, one in three a pretty natural tint, one in four colour that lasts hours or all day, and one in six bought it again. One in five has a colour complaint, most often that it turned hot pink.

What Nooni Appleberry Lip Oil is, and why every shade ends up pink

Nooni Appleberry Lip Oil is the berry shade (G01 Berry on the Amazon page) of Nooni's Apple Lip Oil, a tinted Korean lip oil sold in a 0.12 oz (3.5 ml) tube with an applicator. The Amazon listing calls the line pH colour-changing and plumping, promises all-day wear, a waterproof, non-peel tint and a glossy finish, and carries a brand claim that 52.84% of hydration is retained after 24 hours. On Amazon it was sold by MBX Corp through the NOONI store at our check; the Amazon buttons on this page open that single Appleberry tube, with the other shades and the duo and trio sets as options on the same page.

The shade chart is bigger than the bullets suggest. Amazon's colour options run from G01 Berry through G15 Guava, with four near-clear shades (Clear, Mint, Tea, Coco) and six shimmer versions; Olive Young Global's listing says 12 colours and YesStyle's 13. The ingredient list explains why that chart matters less than it looks. The colour comes from Red 21, the stain-type dye behind most colour-changing lip products, with a monascus extract, Red 7 Lake and iron oxides on top. Red 21 looks faint in the tube and develops into pink on the lips, which is why reviewers of a wine, fig or ginseng tube keep describing the same pink that berry reviewers describe. The list is mostly oils, among them sunflower, jojoba, olive, grapefruit peel, camellia, macadamia, argan, sweet almond, rosehip, apple seed and soybean, plus methyl nicotinate, capsicum extract and ginger root oil, the warming trio that gives a lip product its plumping tingle.

How we read 615 reviews on YesStyle and Olive Young Global

This review is built from what customers report, not from our own lips. On October 15, 2026, we read every review on YesStyle's Apple Lip Oil listing posted between October 15, 2024 and that day, 341 cards; the 69 older cards, from 2018 to 2022, describe the earlier formula and were set aside. On October 16 we read all 274 reviews on Olive Young Global's listing, from February 2024 to September 2026. Across the 615, the languages ran from English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese to Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, French and Italian. Both retailers pool every shade under one feed; Olive Young Global's cards record the shade bought, YesStyle's do not, so the per-shade numbers in this article come from Olive Young Global, where Appleberry is the largest group with 56 cards. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI]

Then we removed 123 that could not tell us anything: 62 where one reviewer posted the same text again for a second shade or entry (counted once), 22 with no usable detail, 19 that were gibberish, spam or pasted off-topic text, ten written before the oil was used, seven bought for someone else, and three about shipping, a refund or a different product. That leaves 492 usable reviews, 261 on YesStyle and 231 on Olive Young Global. Among the 491 with a rating, 64% are five stars, 20% four, 8% three, 5% two and 3% one. Amazon's reviews and ratings were not read or used, as the Associates rules require, and no review is quoted anywhere here. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI]

Hydration and a natural tint lead the praise; one in six bought it again

Softer, hydrated lips is the result named most often: 185 of the 492 usable reviews, about 38%, and the gap between retailers is wide, 45% on YesStyle against 29% on Olive Young Global. Eleven say it is fine on chapped lips. The tint comes next. About one in three, 164 reviews, call the colour natural, pretty or simply theirs with more life, and 19 go further and praise it as strongly pigmented, 14 of them on Olive Young Global. Fourteen describe the colour developing within seconds or minutes of going on, and eight remark on the trick itself: faint or clear in the tube, pink on the lips. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI]

Wear is the third pillar. One in four reviews, 124, say the colour lasts for hours or the whole day, and 38 describe the thing that makes this a stain rather than a gloss: the shine goes, the pink stays, through eating or drinking, or a wipe. Nine reviewers say a little goes a long way, eight like the applicator, seven find it easy to apply, 13 call it good value and six like that the tube fits any bag; the same small tube turns up on the complaint side below. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI]

The repurchase rate is the number we trust most. About one in six reviews, 84, mention buying it again or buying several shades, and three say they have used it for a year or more. Among the 47 usable Appleberry reviews on Olive Young Global the picture is the same shape: 19 praise the tint, 15 the hydration, ten the wear, seven bought it again or in more shades, and 30 of the 47 gave five stars. [R-OYG-NOONI] [R-YS-NOONI]

What it feels like and smells like, according to the reviews

Light is the word. About one in four reviews, 117, describe the feel as comfortable, soft or lightweight (71) or say outright that it is not sticky (55), and that praise is similar on both retailers. Against them stand 16 reviews, about one in 31, that found it sticky, heavy, too oily or, in one case, too runny. Shine gets its own mentions from 48, and 24 of the wear reports describe the same sequence: glossy for a while, then a stain once the oil is gone. Three reviewers wipe that shine off on purpose and keep the stain. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI]

Hydration, covered above, belongs here too, because 19 reviews, about one in 26, pull the other way: 13 found it not hydrating enough or say the moisture does not last, and six found their lips drier afterwards. Two reviewers with flaky lips say the oil clung to the flakes. Eleven mention plumper-looking lips, which fits the warming ingredients on the list, and six YesStyle reviews, where the shade is not recorded, complain of tingling; on Olive Young Global one mint reviewer calls the tingle mild and expected, and two others felt none. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI] [A1]

Scent is a minor character. Fifty-five reviews mention one, 46 of them fondly: apple or fruity, and one peony reviewer compares it to honey. Grapefruit peel oil sits eighth on the ingredient list. Nine dislike the scent or the taste. One reviewer of the mint shade notes that it does not taste of mint at all. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI] [A1]

The colour complaint: one in five, and which shades turn hot pink

The complaint that defines this product is the colour it turns. One in ten reviews, 49 split evenly between the two retailers, say it went an unnatural hot pink, fuchsia or, in the phrase that recurs, Barbie pink. Another one in 11, 46 reviews, say the shade was not what they expected or did not suit them, often a tube that looked dark or muted and came out bright pink. One in 22, 22 reviews, say the shades all look the same once on, most after trying more than one, and 17 found the colour simply too strong. Add those up without double counting and 103 reviews, about one in five, carry some colour complaint. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI]

Olive Young Global records the shade bought, and the complaints are not spread evenly. Among its usable reviews, a colour complaint appears in 10 of the 20 Appleginseng reviews, 8 of 27 for Applepeony, 5 of 17 for Applefig and 5 of 20 for Applewine, the shades that look dark or muted in the tube, and in 6 of 32 for Appleplum. It appears in 7 of the 47 Appleberry reviews and 3 of 20 for Applecherry, the two shades that already look pink-red in the tube, and in none of the 32 reviews of the near-clear Tea, Coco and Clear shades. One Appleberry reviewer calls it the only red-leaning tone in the range; another says peony looked identical to berry on her. [R-OYG-NOONI]

Two things soften the number. Of the 103 reviewers with a colour complaint, 22 still praise the wear and 18 the hydration, and on Olive Young Global most of them gave three or four stars, not one or two: of the 48 there, five gave one star, 11 two, 11 three, 16 four and five gave five stars anyway. The formula is rarely the problem; the shade chart is. The rest of the complaint list is short. Short wear, 25 reviews, or colour that went with food or a gloss that faded fast, 32 in all, about one in 15. A bottle that is small, 19, 13 of them on YesStyle, with price itself named by only six. Ten would not buy it again or prefer another product, and six found the tint too faint rather than too strong. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI]

How long the colour lasts, and how reviewers wear it

Of the 182 reviews that say something about timing (a review can fall under more than one line), 124 report colour that lasts for hours or all day, 38 describe the shine going and the stain staying or surviving a meal, 14 note the colour developing within seconds or minutes, and 32 found it faded fast, went with eating or needed reapplying. Reviewers name the span loosely, about two hours, a commute, a few hours, the whole day, so we do not turn that into a number of hours; the consistent pattern is that the oil and shine go first and the pink stays behind. [R-YS-NOONI] [R-OYG-NOONI]

How they wear it: 16 say daily, six use it as a base under or layered with other lip products, six put it over a tint or lipstick as the gloss step, and five apply it at night and wake up with colour. Three wipe the shine off to keep the stain and three put a balm over the stain once the oil has gone. One builds layers for a stronger colour, one reapplies only the gloss after eating, and one applies a thin coat inside the lip line. Four say a TikTok video sent them. [R-OYG-NOONI] [R-YS-NOONI]

Nooni Appleberry lip oil review verdict: buy, skip, or pick a lighter shade

Buy Nooni Appleberry Lip Oil if you want a light, non-sticky oil that leaves your lips hydrated and finishes as a pink stain once the shine wears off, and you are fine with that stain being pink. That profile is behind the 38% hydration praise, the one-in-three natural-tint praise, the one in four who report colour lasting hours or all day, and the one-in-six repeat purchases. Appleberry is a sensible first tube: it already looks pink-red in the tube, so what develops on the lips is closer to what you bought, and its colour-complaint rate on Olive Young Global, 15%, is below the line's 21%. [R-OYG-NOONI] [R-YS-NOONI] [A1]

Skip it if you want the colour in the tube on your lips, because the dye develops to pink on everyone and the dark or muted shades, ginseng above all, are where the Barbie-pink complaints pile up. Think twice if hot pink is not your colour at all, if you expect the gloss itself to last rather than the stain, or if your lips tingle easily, since the list carries warming plumpers and six reviews mention tingling. Go lighter if you only want a hint: reviewers of the near-clear Tea, Coco and Clear shades had no colour complaints at all, and the four Olive Young Global reviewers who wear it over a tint or lipstick as the gloss step all bought those shades.

Frequently asked questions

Does Nooni lip oil turn everyone the same pink?

Largely, yes. The tint comes from Red 21, a stain-type dye that develops to pink on the lips, so the shade in the tube sets the intensity more than the hue. One in five of the 492 usable reviews we read has a colour complaint, and on Olive Young Global those cluster in the dark or muted tubes: half of the Appleginseng reviews, three in ten for Applepeony, 15% for Appleberry and none for the near-clear Tea, Coco and Clear shades.

How long does Nooni Appleberry Lip Oil last?

Longer as a stain than as a gloss. One in four reviews say the colour lasts for hours or the whole day and 38 describe the shine going while the pink stays, through eating or drinking. About one in 15 found it faded fast or went with food. Reviewers name the span loosely, from about two hours to the whole day, so we do not put a number of hours on it.

Is Nooni lip oil sticky?

Most reviewers say no. About one in four of the reviews we read call it light, comfortable or not sticky, against about one in 31 who found it sticky, heavy or too oily. The shine is real for the first stretch and then fades to a stain; three reviewers wipe the gloss off on purpose and keep the colour underneath.

Which Nooni lip oil shade should I pick?

Pick by how much pink you want, not by the name. Appleberry and Applecherry already look pink-red in the tube and drew the fewest colour complaints among the tinted shades on Olive Young Global, 7 of 47 and 3 of 20. The near-clear Tea, Coco and Clear shades drew none, and the Olive Young Global reviewers who wear it over a tint or lipstick bought those. Ginseng, fig, wine and peony are the ones reviewers most often expected to be darker or more muted than they turned out.

Does Nooni lip oil tingle or plump?

The ingredient list carries methyl nicotinate, capsicum extract and ginger root oil, which are warming plumpers, and the Amazon listing promises a plumping effect. In the reviews that effect is quiet: 11 mention plumper-looking lips and six, all on YesStyle, complain of tingling. Among Olive Young Global's mint-shade reviewers, one calls the tingle mild and expected, two felt none, and two say it did not plump for them.
