Product Rave - Benefit Lip & Cheek Stains

I love this product!

I have all 4 of these products in various sizes. 1 full size and the others I obtained by buying Benefits sample kits. I love picking up the sample kits because you can try 4 or 5 products and if you like them, then choose to purchase the full size. I'll do a blog on my collection of kits later. I love try before you buy, there is nothing worse than forking out for an expensive product only to find you don't like it or it doesn't work for you. In saying that, I don't think you can go wrong with anything bought from the brand Benefit, I have loved everything I have gotten my hands on so far!

Ok, back to the product at hand.

Let's talk about the packaging. When you first see these you could easily mistake them for nail polishes. Everything is exactly the same, brush and all except for what's inside of course.

The contents itself is actually a stain, so although the colours initially look quite pigmented and strong, they really do sheer down to look very natural. This is provided you apply them correctly or you risk ending up with stripes or spots on your cheeks. My number one tip of to WORK QUICKLY!  On my cheeks I dab on 3 small dots and use my fingers to quickly blend it in. You could use a small stipple brush if you like but I haven't tried it this way yet. Application on the lips is easy and you can keep layering until you reach the colour pay off that you want.

Once applied you can leave as is, but I usually follow with lipstick or more often than not, a gloss. Then once that wears off you still have the stain left which will be there all day.

Benetint - Posie tint - Cha Cha tint - Lolli tint

Swatches

1. Benetint
A rosy red liquid. This is so pretty and is not too full on. It looks very natural on both cheeks and lips. I usually pop on my Baby Lips lip balm in Cherry over this one. As you can tell from the picture at the top this is my most loved one.


2. Posie tint
A more creamy formula that gives you a light pink stain. It's a great light wash of colour but it's the one I find myself reaching for the least - not sure why.


3. Cha Cha Tint
A more coral/ mango type colour that is very creamy and looks best on me when I have a little tan happening.


4. Lolli Tint
A beautiful candy/orchid colour that has a mauve tone to it. It is super pretty and is my second most used of them all.


Have you tried or own any of these Benefit lip and cheek stains yourself? Which ones are your faves?


 I'd love to hear from you!


You can purchase these from any Benefit counter and online.


Hope you enjoyed reading...
