I have very thick wavy hair that only needs to be washed every three days, but by the third day I always use a little bit of dry shampoo to help out. I've tried many different brands ranging from $5 - $20 (about the most I'm willing to spend for a bottle) and one time splurged on the Bumble and Bumble Pret a Powder version but I ultimately keep coming back to Batiste because it works the best. The price tag is an added bonus because I would be willing to shell out even more for it. -

I bought this after receiving the mini size of the Benefit Lollitint as a sample from sephora and then buying the full size Lollitint.I loved the color of Lollitint and I still use it a lot on my cheeks but it is quite pinky-purple on my fair skin and clashes with red lipstick. Thus I went out and bought Benetint for days that I'm feeling more red than pink. Benetint is very different in formula - it is much thinner and blends a bit more nicely than the other colours. I put this on after my BB cream and before any sort of powder to create a soft glowy look and then I top it with a hint of powder blush and highlighter. On days where I go for a more casual look I stick to just the tint and add some to my lips as well. You do have to work quickly and blend (I use my fingers) as soon as you have applied it to your cheeks otherwise it will stain exactly where you applied it. For lips it is easily buildable for a bolder colour and I like to top it off with a similar coloured tinted lip balm. Overall it is very versatile, buildable, and beautiful! And it last forever!! -

I bought this in my hunt to find a cheaper alternative to Benefit's Gimme Brow and I have to say this is not the answer. The colour is good, a bit lighter than my dark blonde brows so it creates a bit of definition, but the brush is wide and flat and causes the product to get all over my skin around my brows. It ends up looking clumpy and then pulls out my actual brow hairs when I try to wash it off in the evenings. Will not be buying again! -

I bought this product because I have unruly brows that need to be tamed and I absolutely loved it! I got the medium colour and it matches my dark blonde brows perfectly and keeps the hairs in place. The tiny brush helps to deposit the right amount of product without smudging on my skin or leaving clumps anywhere. My only problem with is it that there is such little product in the tube! I've gone through three of them in the past few months and they just don't last. Currently looking for something that works as well as this but with a lower price tag. -

I typically opt for extremely matte lipsticks, but since it is summer I decided I wanted something lighter and more nourishing with just a hint of colour and without the stickiness of lip gloss. The price point seemed a little high on this but it was truly worth every penny! The lip oil is so hydrating and I love the colour - I bought the Berry In Love hue and it creates the perfect sheer berry tone to my lips. If I want more colour I layer it over lipstick or I use Benefit Lollitint on my lips first. I think the price is what it is because of the amount of product - I've been using it A LOT and I've barely made a dent in the bottle. I only wish the colour stained my lips more because I do have to reapply throughout the day. -
