Banila Co Summer Fantasy neon tinted Lip Crayons review + demo

I've mentioned these lippies in a post wayy back when I said I wanted to try them out, it wasn't until a couple of months back when I finally did :D I got them on sale for $15 NZD each but I believe they are sold online for around $20 USD each. I got them in shades 1 (Margarita) and 4 (Sunset). 
And boy these are neon!!

Points: 

The scent is amazinggggg, its a mixture of jasmine/frangipani floral scent which lingers 

They are very pigmented so you have to be careful when applying for everyday use, however the pigmented colours are so good for selfies or photoshoots. With the bright neon pink and orange it looks very edgy. 

The lasting powers of this isn't that impressive, because the consistency is so crayon like it tends to rub off super easily. However it does leave a slight tint on your lips. 

Overall, I would say they are a very fun lip product to collect because they're unlike other chubby sticks. These have a tougher consistency and tug more on the lips, its really like using a crayon.

When applied it feels like a wax coating on the lips since the colour payoff is so exact. The swatches on my hand here is what it will look like on your lips. It covers the natural colour of your lips completely. 

For the price I paid I really enjoy my purchases, however, for the full price...I'd be a little reluctant. I do recommend these but I also think they are overpriced. Edit: This is NOT for chapped lips, it is not 'creamy' at all so it is very unforgiving to peeling skin. 

If I had to buy one of these two I'd personally go for the orange one, its such a cool colour that I wear a lot. 

I have found exact dupes for these colours which are MAC's Morange and Impassioned. I would wear them together for a gradient look. 

I've used the pink colour (shade 4) for the photo below to create that Korean gradient. 

I used lip foundation to mute the colour of my lips, smudged out MAC Impassioned to a pale pink and applied 'Sunset' on the very inner parts. Finally I coated my lips in a candyfloss coloured Barry M gloss (because it's quite crap and not pigmented haha, it won't smudge out my lips) and done!
