About Benefit Cosmetics Benetint

This is an old standby for Benefit Cosmetics.** Benetint** comes in a nail polish-like glass jar and even has a brush at the end like nail polish. This liquid blush imparts a natural flush of a glow onto the cheeks that lasts for hours. This works just as well as a lip stain. It is waterproof and will not budge. I wear it under lipstick or lip gloss so I still have rosy lips when my color wears off. I wear it on my cheeks for a very natural flush that no one would ever comes from a bottle.

The bottle is about as small as a nail polish bottle but lasts and...

Pouty pretty Lips - Pucker Up with Benetint Rose Lip Stain!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I've been using BeneFit Benetint Rose-Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain **now for just about a year.  I purchased it last year at Sephora on a whim - wouldn't you know it, my awesome husband bought the exact kit (full size benetint plus pocket sized travel tube) as a surprise gift for me.  Every year Sephora comes out with their Christmas gift catalog I circle my GOTSTA haves in there.  Well, I circled **BeneFit Benetint Rose-Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain ****but couldn't wait for Christmas - just had to have it.  So when I opened up the same set my hubby bought me I though, this will last forever, will I even really use this? Is it a waist? 

Let me tell you - TOTALLY NOTE A ...

Overpriced for a difficult to blend blusher

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

Product: Marketed as a more 'natural' looking alternative to powder blushes. A gel like stain that is rubbed in with the fingers to produce a natural looking, long lasting flush on the cheeks.

Pros: Smells amazing, like roses. Nice Consistency on the fingers. Feels like it will spread easily.

Cons: Very expensive. if not applied carefully it will leave you with garish, obvious streaks. The liquid dries VERY quickly on the skin giving you little time to apply and blend. The color is garishly bright almost a magenata shade even on my darker skin (MAC NC 43 for reference). It is very easy to overdo the application. Flimsy packaging because of the nailpolish type cap with the li...

Benetint gives me the best flushed cheeks in the world!

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

Benetint gives me the best flushed cheeks in the world! I love how natural looking and long lasting this prosuct is! And the best part is when your man is up close to you he can tell you are wearing any blush because it absorbs into your skin so seamlessly so it never ever looks cakey! The only thing I would suggest is that in the future they make one with a roller ball for an easier application! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING! But other than that I cannot rave enough about this product, I still cant beleive that people still havent heard about it or when I tell them i am wearing a makeup tint, and I tell them it has been around for 30 years! They are floored! I think one of the best parts is that it is sosoossosoososo universally flattering on ALL skin tones and types, because the shade is buildable and it works with your skins PH levels! Ìf you think about it, it was kinda super nifty beauty product for when they discovered it in the 70s !

Here's your Natural Blush from a Bottle that lasts and lasts

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Let's see, it's in the morning and the sun is shining, and I'd like to "crow like a rooster" about Bene*Fit * Benetint rose-tinted blush and lip stain. Well, I'm only human, but, I can still give a "shout-out" to this wonderful product. I've been using this Blush and Lip Stain for quite a while. So, I feel that I can make a fair evaluation of its performance.

First of all, this stuff isn't cheap. A small 0.40 oz. bottle of Benetint costs $28, and it will last you forever.  After you get over that little shock, let's talk about what you get for that kind of money. You'll get performance, plain and simple--- stellar performance. After all, sometimes you d...

fun to use on your lips or cheeks

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I have this cheek stain in both the rose and now a peachier color. I can't say I use either of them daily but they do give your cheeks a highlight. I was told to use it as a highlight to your bronzer or just use it on its own. I have actually used this product more on my lips because it gives them a bit of a pink stain and then you can apply gloss over it. Definitely worth the money (believe it costs around $24) because you don't need to use that much in one sitting. I think you could use this on any skin type as long as you didn't over do it, otherwise you may end up looking like clown!

Smells like berries

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

This is a great product for a natural looking flush. It looks awkward to apply at first but you just dot a bit on the apples of your cheek and blend in by hand. It gives a natural glow, smells amazing, and you can blend in more for a stronger tint. I recommend this product despite its high price. This is a great product for a natural looking flush.

Don't buy if you are pale.

Overall
Rated 2 out of 5

This was okay for my lips. The color went on well and I was surprised that it looked so dark in the bottle but then appeared to be a normal color on my lips. I wouldn't wear this color on my fair skin every day, but maybe for going out at night or to special events. That being said, there is no hydrating or moisturizing value to this product as a lip color whatsoever. In fact I might even say it dried out my lips.

Unfortunately I would not wear it on my cheeks either. I have fair skin and the contrast was just too much. It doesn't blend as seamlessly as other blush products so I would only buy this if you want a look that is dramatic and stands out. You have very little control over how it is applied/spreads and I felt like if you make one wrong move with the application of it, you could come out looking like a clown! They did a wonderful job applying this to me in-store but once I left I could not recreate that look.

Benetint lasts forever!

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

I bought this product years (almost 8) ago and it's still going! I even spilled a ton of it once (be incredibly careful - I've never seen something stain the way that this stains. I know that's the point - so be sure to protect your clothes, furniture, tile, etc.) and still have found that you use so little that I can't use it up! Be careful when you're using the produc that you wash your hands really well after if you use them to blend it in because you'll have a rosy pink shade all over your fingertips otherwise! I've used this product as a blush and as a lip stain. I've found that it can be harsh on your lips and dry them out quickly. I would recommend doing a layer of gloss first and just giving it a little kiss of the stain. It looks gorgeous if you like the wet look on your lips. On my cheeks I've found that I have to use quite a bit to get it to show up and it can be tricky to blend (especially if my skin is dry).

Great color, tricky to use

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

This is really a fantastic product that gives a sweet, natural glow that doesn't look made-up like blush usually does. But I wanted to give a little advice on how to use it because some people say its streaky or too bright. The directions on the package say "Place 3 small dots on the apples of the cheeks and blend" and this is right. I pat the area quickly with my middle finger and it never streaks that way (it would if i tried to rub it in, i suspect). Start with a tiny amount - i find it takes a few seconds to really stain and show up, and you can always add more. Its also very pretty on the lips. I generally don't like lipstick because it wears off quickly and this made my lips a pretty red color all night. I love how it's a stain, so it doesn't wear off or get on whatever glass I'm drinking from. I'm thinking I may start using this a good bit more as a lip color. It looks nice and doesn't have to be reapplied constantly.

BeneFit Lip Tint is a neat idea

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

BeneFit Benetint Rose-Tinted Lip and Cheek Stain is an innovative idea.  This product can be used to apply subtle color to both lips and cheeks.  It is nice to carry this in your purse for refreshing make-up during the day because it is a product that does double duty.  The color it provides is subtle, but I prefer that for a more fresh, youthful makeup look.  A negative of this product is that it does not seem to stay on for a long time.  One reason for that may be because it is a relatively sheer product.  This product is tinted a rosy pink or light red shade, so customers looking for a true red or brown or orange shade may not like the color.  As other reviewers have mentioned, it can be difficult to apply this product to cheeks.  I find that to be a common problem with any type of cream or liquid type blush.  This product is more like a thin stain than a true cream makeup, so it may take awhile for new users to learn how to adequately apply it.

BeneFit Benetint Rose does double duty

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

If you want color without feeling heavy then BeneFit Benetint Rose should be right up your alley. This product is for the cheeks and lips and just so you know it is a stain so there will not be caking layers of color. It has a lovely rosy hue as beffitting the name and comes off as a nice light blushing color on first brush, though if you wish for a darker hue for a more vibrant look, then just apply more layers. This is a scented product and smells of rose water for me or in general very strong with florals notes. So if you dislike floral scents this may not be for you.

Upon, use I was looking for something that had dual use and was not a stick so this was right up my alley. Upon usin...

so naturally pretty

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

i just purchased this product for the first time last week, and i am in love with it!

it gives me a very slight flush in my cheeks - it makes me look like i've just finished a brisk little jog. as other reviewers have mentioned, this product dries very quickly, so make sure to blend it right away! since it is long-wearing, it's pretty hard to blend out the dots if you don't do it ASAP.

benetint it does a wonderful job evening out the color in my lips, and also giving them a very natural-looking rosy sheen. i like to wear a sheer or nude gloss over it, giving my lips a little extra shine.

i only need the tiniest bit each time i use it, so i imagine that the bottle should last me at least 6 months, maybe a year!

Really Great Product

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

Well the first time that tried this product was when I went to the Benefit counter. The woman who did my makeup was the first to introduce me to the benetint. I honestly really loved it. I was scared that it would stain my lips all weirdly, but the girl who put it on said that it would eventually fade and look natural. I would definitely say that it did. It was great. It looked even better with the California Kissin' on top. Both made a great combo to make your lips look naturally red and the teeth white (because of the California Kissin'). I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. I guess the only downside to this is that it might not last for too long. For me it usually just last for about 4 hours or more. Not too long. BUT still a great product! I LOVE IT.

A nice, sheer tint for lips and cheeks.

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

This is one of the few tints I have been able to use both on my lips and cheeks. I think the aftertaste is not bad, especially compared to tarte and similar stains. You have to blend quickly, but if you do so it gives a nice sheer flush and lasts reasonably long.
