    Benetint was the first ever lip tint that actually was worth it. Iv been through so many lip tints but none of them match up to benefits lip stain. What i love about it is that it is also a cheek stain giving my cheeks a rosy finish, keep in mind i have a light to medium skin tone. It is so easy to use and very pigmented. It is truly a stain. The flaws however are firstly i am always concerned with the lid especially since I'm carrying it in my expensive bag. The lid can rather easily un-tighten and because it is a liquid it can very easily fall and stain the entire bag, Another flaw is that with time it does eventually soak into the creases in my lips making them appear blotchy. The reason i purchased this product is because it is so natural looking and gives a matte finish on my lips also, can touch of my face at anytime without using lots of space in my handbag. Overall, i think this is the best its going to get in terms of lip and cheek stain. I am truly in love with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

    A must in my make-up bag. It's my favorite blush - and if I wear nothing else I always wear blush. This is a very versatile product - you can use it on your cheeks, lips, or eyes. It's also sheer enough to go onto every skin tone. If you want more colour just put more on. Easy to use too which I love.

    This liquid drop formula blush is in a very wearable color that is suitable for all skin tones. It is a bit scary when you look at it, as it looks like blood in a vial it's that dark. But it blends really nicely and is perfectly buildable so you can apply it with no worries of looking like a clown. It also doubles as a lip tint, which is great for travel so you don't have to bring a bunch of separate products.

    I really like Benetint- I love tints in general because they have great colour and pigmentation and at the same time are so light. I like that Benetint comes in a cute little package and it is really easy to apply. Because it is a tint, it dries quickly though and you can't really blend it in- so you need to work fast!

    On it's own, this product gives a nice glow but I love really standout rosy cheeks so I usually layer with a powder blush too. The only thing I really don't like about this product is the price. It's about 10 too much for me to buy on a regular basis. I do love that it can be used on cheeks and on lips but it's really too much money. I like the application of this product but I get a bit skeeved out by the brush, after a while it gets pretty gross and not at all like something I want to put on my lips.

    This can be used as either a lip OR cheek stain. It has a very lovely rosey tint, and will last the whole day. I especially love using as a lip tint, under lipstick or alone with lip balm. It has somewhat of a perfume-y scent, but isn't bad at all. If you want a darker color on your lips, you should do thin layers, letting them dry in between, otherwise it'll drip and you'll have pink streaks running down your chin! When using on cheeks, put a few swipes or drops off the brush and use your fingertips to rub in. It is a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. There are a small variety of colors to choose from, all of which would compliment just about any skin color.

    I was extremely hesitant to get benetint mostly for the price. But I wanted to try it to see what the hype was about. I thought that I would mostly use it as a cheek stain but was surprised how much I like it as lip stain. I use it everyday on my lips and it is one of my favorite makeup items in my collection. Even though I use it everyday I've barely made a dent in it. So if you're hesitant about the price, you get so much product that it is definitely worth it.
    When applied to my lips the color is a slight hint of red that could be more intensified when applied more.
    When applied to my cheeks it shows up rosy and compliments my fair skin tone.
    In the end this is a product I couldn't live without.

    I really love my Benetint. It gives a really nice flush of color on my cheeks AND you can use it on lips! It lasts all day even with my oily skin and even in the hot summer days. Another fun perk is that it smells like roses! To top it off this bottle will last you forever as it does for me because you only need a little bit and a bit goes a long way! It looks natural, is not cheap but lasts a long time and is worth it, and gives a wonderful flush of color without looking too flashy! A definite keeper in my books!

    This bottle lasts forever! I purchased this when I essentially had no makeup because the idea of both a blush and lipstain appealed to me. I used this for a very long time as my only blush and lip product. I tend to use this more for the lips since it's so watery it makes it very hard to blend on the cheek. I find moisturizing and then applying this does help it blend. I've since amassed more products and this has fallen by the wayside although I do like using this under a red lip so when the lipstick fades my lips still look colored.

    I dislike the packaging, it really doesn't lend well to the consistency of the product and the application. Also mine recently started leaking so its a strictly apply at home product. As much as I loved it and used it in the pass I can't give it a great review because I've found many products that are better and cheaper. The body shop makes a similar product but the packaging is better and it's a bit more gel like which makes application easier.

    The cap on this broke, I guess I perhaps screwed it on a bit too tight but it cracked a bit. I could still screw it closed but I had to store it upright or else it would leak. As a result of this the product evaporated rather quickly and my half empty bottle quickly vanished into thin air. My review still stands, I liked the idea of the stain but disliked the consistency and packaging.
    Still recommend the Body Shop one for the same color but better packaging and consistency. I've read people have had luck diluting red food coloring for a very inexpensive dupe or even concentrated koolaid for a tasty stain. So there are plenty of other options much better then Benetint.

    Someone bought this for me and I couldn't return it. I tried it out a couple of times, and it's so hard to use! My dad laughed at me because it looked so childish and unnatural. Even if I blend fast, it still looks really unnatural on me. It also stained my fingers. I think this is better for older ladies.
