Review: banila co. The Great Love Dual Tint Gloss PK01

It has been quite some time ago, since I reviewed the banila co. The Great Love single eyeshadow OR01 and promised to review the other products that I received from the banila co. The Great Love F/W 2013 makeup collection. I got too busy again, but the last review (saved the best for last ^_^) will really be up on my blog soon, so let's look at the banila co. The Great Love Dual Tint Gloss PK01 first.

banila co. The Great Love Dual Tint Gloss PK01* (4.6 ml + 4.6 ml)
 

The main reason why I wanted to get this one - besides the gorgeous, glossy black with purple undertones stick with gold decorations -  is that I am really curious to see if this is the actual color that Jessica from SNSD is wearing in the campaign pictures. If you want to know too, keep reading to find out. ^_^

The applicator is very slightly angled and there is no hole in the center, but still a lot of product gets picked up. I think it is caused by the almost sponge like hairs that is on the applicator. The slight flexibility of the tip also makes application easier.

 I first started with the tint that is located on the left side of the stick. It is a very moisturizing, milky lip tint that according to me, doesn't really need a top coat. It also has a sweet strawberry scent. When I applied the very watery, non-sticky, transparent lip gloss on top, I noticed that the color lightened a bit and became more light pink.

I am not 100% sure, but the color looks exactly like the color that I wanted, based on the campaign pictures of Jessica.

 My opinion

Even though I have quite pigmented lips and most lip tints just make them redder, the banila co. Dual Tint Gloss PK01 actually magically turn them light rosy pink. The stick also looks so pretty that it is fine to take it out once in a while and do some touch-ups. The transparent lip gloss is the lightest I have ever tried, I wish I could buy it on its own, in full size too.

Before I have reviewed the banila co. triple wonder care lip tint - 02 Parisian and compared to that one, the banila co. Dual Tint Gloss PK01 has a lighter pink color and it is less sticky. Even though this product isn't meant as a lip treatment, while the before mentioned product is, it is almost just as moisturizing. So if you are in doubt about which one of these two to get, I would recommend the Dual Tint Gloss (although the darker red color is really pretty too). 

Update: you can find a full face picture of me wearing the Dual Tint Gloss in my review of the banila co. The Great Love The Secret Face Blusher.
