Benetint

This is the lip tint that taught me not to buy water lip tints. I had previously also tried one by Tony Moly and one by Etude House, and no matter how good your lip prep is, these will crack, dry your skin, and ultimately just look bad by the end of the day. There will be some tint, perhaps--but it's unpleasant to wear and just not a good choice. I have heard that some people have success layering this UNDER lip liner and lip gloss or lipstick--I guess it adds a bit of permanence to something that would otherwise fade more quickly. Regardless, I just won't repurchase this type of product, having tried three separate ones and having had the same negative experience. Korea and Japan are now coming out with tints in a balm base--I would love to see Temptalia review Rom&nd or Peripera tints (I'll do it if I can get the materials! :) ).

Good multitasking product--cheek or lip stain in a see through bottle, reminds me of a nail polish packaging complete w/ a brush applicator under the screw top. Formula is essentially a rose-water scented liquid in a deep pinky-red color that gives a natural looking flush to the cheeks. Shimmer free, it looks very 'no-makeup', as in 'I just pinched my cheeks' flush. Product does stain everything it touches, so a quick application is necessary: 2 swipes on left cheekbone -->blend w/ fingers --->2 swipes on right cheekbone ---->blend. Layers well, goes under or over powder foundation, great for bare skin flush. Works best on oily to combination skin, just make sure to exfoliate, because stain will apply unevenly to dry, flaky patches. Might not work well for dry skin--creme formula blush might be a better choice or moisturize beforehand to help blend the product. On me the stain last as a blush until I remove my makeup, a favorite product in the summer months--great choice for a day by the pool. Have not used as lip-stain, so no comments there. Packaging is very not safe for travel, cap is prone to cracking if you try to close it tight--avoid over tightening or dropping the glass bottle.
