Benefit Cosmetics Posietint 0.42 oz Posietint

I love benetint so I knew just knew this product was going to be great. I was expecting a pink version of benetint and that's not exactly what this is. It is kind of disturbing at first glance because it is not transparent and it is violently pink. But I went ahead and tried it anyway and I do like it alot. It works very well as a cheek stain, in fact I like it better than the original benetint. But as a lip stain it can look a little too pink on me. My skin tone is medium to slightly olive and it can be a bit too strong so I use it more as a primer/base color. I think it would look the best on a fairer skin tone if you use it alone. But overall I really like the product and love benefit cosmetics.

When I first saw the bright pink color of this, I was apprehensive to give it a try. But I'm glad I did. I have a medium skin tone and this give my cheeks a flush look, similar to the color I get when exercising. For me, this is my go to color for the spring/summer months.

The nail polish-like brush makes it easy to apply. I put 3 dots on the apples of my cheeks and blend. I haven't tried it as a lip stain so I cannot comment on that but I do love it as a cheek stain.

Ok, like many other gals out there, I adore Benetint. So, when I saw this seemingly lighter or more pink version of one of my favorite cosmetic products, I was all over it! When I got it, I was surprised, but not necessarily disappointed, by its actual appearance. It has the look and consistency of light pink nail polish. Smells much better, of course, but needless to say it doesn't look or work exactly the same way as Benetint. It can be used the same way, but it is a little thicker and less...sheer? Hard to explain.

All in all, I like it, and have been using it both on my cheeks (more often) and lips. It is a good shade for us pale girls, very subtle, but I think it would work on a variety of skin tones. If you're interested in it, and have the money, go ahead and try it...but it might be best to check it out in person first.
