Nice Shades, Great for Lazy People (Fewer Touch Ups)
Yes, the packaging is gimmicky and I totally fell for it, but I make no apologies.  I bought 3 shades--PK01, CR01, and OR01--and they're all quite nice.  That said, the PK01 is a bit lighter than I expected so I'll probably get more wear out of the other two.<br /><br />The tints are pretty long-lasting.  I was able to wear the OR01 all day yesterday, and even through lunch and drinking mugs of tea I didn't need to touch it up 'til the end of the day.  (And, truthfully, since it was the end of the day and there was still a hint of color, I was lazy and just didn't bother.)  The tints aren't noticeably drying, either--although I'm a balm addict and usually put some on over the color throughout the day.  Luckily, this doesn't seem to have a terribly detrimental effect on the color.  There is a slight taste, which is neither unpleasant nor pleasant--I didn't especially like it, but it didn't bother me.  I'm not a wine drinker, but my guess is they don't really taste like wine, just kind of fruity.<br /><br />The only other true tints/stains I've used are the Tony Moly ones and I think these compare favorably to those in terms of ease of application (I think these are more forgiving), durability, drying, and taste (the TMs had a more chemical taste).  I don't dislike the TM's, but these are just better, IMO.<br /><br />I'd recommend these tints, and will probably buy again, especially to try out the other other colors.
