Etude House Dear Darling Tint 01 Berry Red Review

Today I'll be reviewing the Dear Darling Tint in Berry Red by Etude House. It's mainly used as a lip tint, but I think it can also be used on your cheeks. 

 This is what the packaging looks like (it did come wrapped in plastic though):

 The applicator:

 As you can see, it's a pretty bright red and a gel type consistency.

Blended out...

I think looks nice on the cheeks, it's very subtle. You just have to make sure that you blend it in properly. I usually dab it onto my index and middle finger first then blend it onto my cheeks. It dries pretty fast.

Bare lips (sorry for the hideous picture!):

With the tint:

The only problem I have with this is that it's really drying. I usually put on moisturizing lip balm a couple minutes after applying this. The staying power is ok, it lasts around 2-3 hours for me.

PROS:

• nice colour
• cheap (approx. $4-$6)
• smells really good
• doesn't fade too quickly

CONS:

• drying
• tastes bad
