BANILA CO. Two Kisses Dual Tint (SWATCH + REVIEW)

I decided to try something different with the video of this review so I truly hope you guys enjoyed it ! Because it was a PAIN to edit LOL . Final Cut Pro looked like layers upon layers of something, and oh how it lagged my computer . oh how it lagged it . T_T Despite that I hope the video review was useful to you guys and now here's the written version of it ! 

Here's the video for anyone wondering what I may be talking about ! haha

General Overview

The price tag of each of these are approximately $15 . Before you think to yourself that this may seem a bit expensive for a tint, each tint does come with both a gel and emulsion . So if you really think about it you're buying two tints for that price- which I don't think is a bad thing at all ! And lucky for us it's pretty easy to find on big retail sites such as eBay and amazon too . :) Do take note that there's an older version of this lip tint so don't confuse it, the packaging of the old and current version is very different .

There are four colours available which are 01 Red Queen, 02 Pink Princess, 03 Bride Coral and 04 Bride Coral . I did not go in this order in the video, though . xD"

Bare colour swatch~

One side is the emulsion which is the milky and lighter coloured side, while the other is the gel which is a much more stronger and bolder colour . From what I've noticed the emulsions don't last for long, but the gels tend to stain the lips with the same colour as the emulsion once it fades out . So even though the strong colour of the gel won't last on your lips after you eat, it will at least leave some colour on your lips . Oh ! And another excellent thing about this product is it doesn't leave that too obvious colour stain on the glass (if not at all) when you drink or eat food (it's little things like this that makes me like a product a lot haha) .

These tints were made with the intention of doing the gradient lip more easily, which is one of the biggest makeup trends at the moment in South Korea . The brush makes it really easy to apply this gradient sort of style to your lips . Actually in general, the brush is really good for applying this product to your lips . ^^

What I've found with all of the tints in this line is the fact that they're all not drying on the lips . Whenever I've worn this lip tint I rarely apply lip balm . In addition when you wear this lip tint it really doesn't feel like it's there either . In general this line may not have the most excellent staying power after you eat, but after you drink the tints will stay for a good amount of time as well .

Swatches

01 Red Queen

This colour is a true red which is pretty much good for all sorts of skin types . The emulsion is a really pretty colour and my favourite from all the other emulsions too ! It makes my lips lighter with a lovely red shade that I've never seen from another tint, and rather than being a bright colour it's a soft colour . The gel on the other hand is a Hollywood sort of red, and really great if you want to wear red lips that are a little bit toned down, it's an elegant sort of red .

Usually red lip tints tend to settle in the lips, and this lip tint is no different . I guess the good thing though is that this lip tint also tends to last the least compared to the other lip tints, so I guess you won't have to worry about it settling into the lines of your lips for too long since it will fade away very fast haha . 

And I may be wrong with this one, but I feel as though the emulsion is good for warm skin tones while the gel is good for cool skin tones, which is why I think it would probably fit for all skin types ? But don't quote me on that haha . 

02 Pink Princess

If there's anything I immediately knew, it's that this shade is very well suited for those with cool toned skin lol . It may not seem like it here but the emulsion is really bright, though it also seems to be the weakest colour compared to the rest of the line . When I put it on my arm I could barely see it haha . Apart from being suitable for cool toned skin, this colour is veeeery vivid so I think it really gives a youthful sort of look, and super excellent for people who want to look young, make a fashion statement, or are high schoolers . I think the gradient is pretty great for making you look young while the gel really helps to make a bold sort of statement . The gel is a very party or summer-y sort of colour, while I think the emulsion suits quite well for the winter .

I've also just got to say, that the staying power of the emulsion of this must have transferred to the gel or something because the gel's stain lasts forever . Like, forever . I used water to take off the tints (where the emulsion of this was already gone by the first wipe), and then I used lip tint remover...and lip tint remover again . I think after cleaning my arm like 5 times the stain of this gel still stayed, so to you this can either be a blessing or a curse lol .

03 Orange Chew

Interestingly, the first thing I realised with this tint (contrary to the last one), is the fact that this is a really suitable colour for warm toned people . And since I'm warm toned- this is probably the tint I love the most from this line ! It'll do a really excellent job for flattering you if you're a warm skin toned person . ^^ Apart from the emulsion and gradient being great as everyday wear for those that have warm skin tones, the gel is also really great for making a statement with your makeup . When I see the gel I think it's a very fiery sort of red, which is another excellent choice for bold fashion statements !

When I said that the colour stain of the gel still stays even after you eat some food and what not, it especially applies for this tint ! The gel fades into a slightly stronger version of the emulsion, so I really don't mind eating with this lip tint on . ^^ haha

04 Bride Coral

For some reason I find it surprising that this tint seems to be much brighter than the Orange Chew lip tint . Is it because this colour is a combination of pink and orange ? Either way I'm also a pretty big fan of this lip tint as well . I currently use it for everyday wear for some reason (I guess it's because this is the first lip tint I bought from this line ? haha), but because its vividness is really similar to the Pink Princess tint, I think it's the most suitable for everyday wear in summer and spring . 

The gel of this is pretty interesting, and I think it's the first time that I've seen a coral gel tint this dark . The gel is a bright, unique colour and it's like a very bright red . If you want a red that will really draw attention I think this gel is really suitable for that !

Colour Comparisons

*I forgot to film the gradient lips for orange chew by the way, I'm so sorry lol . ><

Final thoughts + Would I repurchase it again ?

Compared to other lip tints I've used, these are at the better end in terms of quality for me . The fact that they don't dry out my lips and that for the most part it stains the lips evenly, makes me fond of using this product . 

I think out of all of these, I'll be most likely to purchase the Orange Chew again, since I will probably use it the most as it suits my skin tone very well ! I'm also fond of the emulsion in Red Queen haha . In terms of the colour range of this product line though, it is quite limited .

So there are my thoughts on the product, and how about yours ? Also did you find this review and the pictures helpful, and if not how can I improve ? I'd love to know your thoughts ! :)
