Today I'll be reviewing Benefit Cosmetics: Benetint!

I've been on the lookout for more organic, simply created cosmetic blushes and decided to try this out!

Product Review: Benefit Cosmetics: Benetint
Here's the manufacturer's description:  The original—and still the best—rose-tinted cheek and lip stain. Benefit Benetint is the sexiest flush you can get from a bottle. a kiss-proof and smudge-proof, indelibly sheer tint, it gives an innocent yet provocative glow to keep everyone guessing. Draw three small strokes across the apple of your cheek. Blend quickly in a circular motion with fingertips. Apply Benetint evenly on lips.

Ingredients: Water, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxide, Carmine (Ci 75470), Methylparaben, Fragrance, Tetrasodium Edta, Geraniol, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Maltodextrin, Benzyl Salicylate, BHT, N° 00n12802.

Usage: Benefit Benetint is a simple, lightweight blush tint or lip tint meant to be used for a natural flushing look. This tinted, liquid rose blush is meant to closely resemble a natural rosey tint wherever you place it. I would not use this product if you're looking for a vivid color on the cheeks or lips, because it is very sheer.

Packaging: I purchased the smaller container of this, which came in this plastic bottle. The applicator looks quite like a stick, which you dip in the liquid product and then apply on the skin. This product is very runny, so the stick works fine when controlling application. The lid stays tight, and the container is well made. Easy to open. I don't know if I would feel comfortable with this in my purse thought due to the product's liquid nature, so maybe it could've been designed a little more securely somehow?
Color:
The color of this product is its selling point here. The color is of course rose in this instance, which is the only tone Benetint is available in. The rose tone is off red, with some pink undertones. Exactly what I expected from a rose tinted product really. Unfortunately, when applied, it appears that it will give you a beautiful rose tinted lip or cheek until you rub it in, like it suggests. I felt like nothing happened honestly. I saw a slight flush, which, if you wanted a SERIOUSLY sheer look maybe that would be excellent. I personally felt like this product didn't do anything at all. On the lips it appeared as if I had bitten my lip, if even, it was a very sheer flush. On my cheeks, I really didn't see a difference. I'm extremely pale, so I can imagine on other skin tones this may not even show up at all. If you're going for a seriously natural almost undetectable look this may work for you, but it didn't work for me at all.

Smell: This product is fairly natural and it smells exactly like the tone - Roses! Very light and floral, very pretty and alluring. I just wish the actual product showed up for me!

Texture: Very, very, very runny! This is a stain, and stain products can vary in texture from creams to liquids, but this is pretty much water in my opinion. I feel like if it was slightly more pigmented and a tad thicker it would be more effective. Light and airy on the positive side, however.


Effectiveness: I was so disappointed! I loved the smell and was excited to see how this sheer product would look as a natural, simple sheer rosey flush. However, as I stated I truly didn't notice any difference before or after application and I am extremely pale. Possibly if you applied it 5 times, but then what's the point? For the price (about $30), I wouldn't purchase this again. Which is a shame, because the smell is really lovely.

Can you use this on film?: I wouldn't use this as a beauty regime on film at all, however, I can honestly see it being awesome for under-eye redness to make someone appear exhausted! Funny, but true! The SUPER sheer quality may look like broken under-eye blood vessels.

Can you use this for everyday wear?:
If you think it shows up, sure! I didn't however.


My Final Review: Great smell, cool concept, no results! Such a shame, they should make this into a perfume instead!
