    Great product. Was given a small sample a while back. A little big goes a long way.

    I hardly reach for this blush for a few reasons: It needs to blended very, very quickly after is applied. I find that it looks blotchy on my skin even when I am sure to blended it well. The colour is very red - so it may not suit those with very fair skin. For $30 I think there are better blushes out there.

    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.

    I’ve heard a lot of hype for this product and it’s definitely well warranted. I have to say that I like it better on my lips rather than my cheeks though. On the lips it’s a striking yet natural looking reddish stain. Under a clear gloss it looks absolutely gorgeous. On the cheeks it works well as a pink flush, but I find it’s a little too bright for me. It’s also a little tricky to apply on your cheeks, since it dries very quickly there’s a bit of a trick to the application. When you use a primer under it for your cheeks it makes it a little easier. Overall, it’s a great product.

    I really wanted to like this lip balm/stain. I love the scent of it and the color. The only thing is that it dries out my lips so using it as a lip balm is not a good idea.

    I really liked Benefit's high beam so I caved-in and bought this cheek stain with gloss in one. It was $20CAD, and i don't think it was worth it.
    The stain goes onto the lips and makes them feel dry...then when you put on the gloss, barely any gloss gets on the brush - I never feel like I get enough on. It lacks in moisturizing or something. Not sure but this product is a great idea but just doesn't make the cut.

    I just bought this this morning, and I can't say I'm convinced. The taste was so awful I was convinced that it wasn't actually for lips and had to look at the bottle to make sure i wasn't crazy.

    However, I am giving it more time to see if I liked it. I'm not sure that I applied enough on my already-rosy complexion to make a difference.

    Another one I decided to try out after reading a bunch of reviews. I almost had a heart attack when the total came to over $40CAD. But I guess it's worth it. I followed the instructions on MUA and applied three short lines to my cheek and patted it in. I had to move fast because this stuff does dry really quickly. I do two layers on each cheek and I'm good to go and it does last a long time. The first time I used it was in the morning when I went to work. When I came home at the end of the day and had a shower it was still on when I came out! I also use it on my lips but for some reason it comes out much darker on the bottom than on the top - what's that about? My lips are the same colour. Anyway I really like the colour on my lips BUT I absolutely hate the taste so I have to put a generous coating of clear gloss over it. Overall a good product but I would feel better if it was $20.
