The allure of double duty products never fail to make me
swipe my card… be it double function or simply two color housed in pretty
little tube like this Duo Lipstick by Lola.
When I purchased this, I don’t know anything about Lola…
except that the duo lippie was calling my name… and the packaging is plain cute
black-red combo that just exudes fun loving, sexy attitude!
Lola is an American brand which is available in several
countries in Asia. According to their website, the star products are eye
primer, lippies and powder.
Now the product! I don’t think I have to describe the sexy
tube of this lippie! Tiny red diamante simply adds attitude to the tube! Plus,
the tube also houses a tiny mirror which automatically flips open when you open
the lippie tube! I am loving this… no more digging for mirror before
retouching! Fantastic design and idea… however… it lacks a little in the
execution… the tube is made of light plastic that is lacking substantial feel…
May be I am spoiled by my favorite Guerlain Rouge Automatiques, but I feel this
tube is a little hard to twist… or may be mine was simply a bad tube…
Strawberry / Cream is a pretty duo of blue based pink with
super subtle shimmer (which doesn’t show up when applied on lips) and pinkish
cream nude that simply adds life to my pale lips. When mixed the resulting
color is creamy fresh, natural looking pink. The nude is super suitable for the
office and the pink is pretty for night out with friends too! truly duo product
that’s useful!
Texture of the product is also lovely, super easy to apply
and blend. Coverage and pigmentation is excellent! Not as creamy as YSL Rouge
Voluptes, but creamy enough not to dry my lips. It feels light on my lips and
the nude crème doesn’t settle on my liplines! Love!
Bottomline…
Pretty design + wonderful product and color is the combo for
me… appreciate the compact mirror on the tube too! However, the packaging
itself is not that easy to deal with.
