Benefit Posie Tint Review

Hello everybody! Hope life is treating you well. I'd like to introduce you all to a beloved friend of mine Posie Tint from Benefit. I was talked into buying this at a make up counter and boy am I glad I was. I was very reluctant to use it at first as the thought of "staining" your face sounded too risky.

With a little bit of precision and a careful hand (or brush) this product applies amazingly well (especially as its dual purpose, for lips and the cheek). I use it with the applicator it comes with and swoop it across my cheek bone and give it a rub and its perfect blush, it works well with the Real Techniques Stippling Brush too. What I love about this product is its so universal, it applies to the lips for a natural glow too. The applicator it comes with is great for the cupids bow, or I sometimes transfer the product onto a Real Techniques lip brush for high definition results. I have used specialist lip tints before such as MUA Kiss Proof Lip Stain and I do prefer the build-able colour results Posie Tint achieves. You could apply a slick of clear gloss over the top for a transition for day time to night time. As for the cheek, it doesn't look powdery or fake like some multi purpose cheek products do.

The packaging is really pretty. Its very much like a models own nail varnish in size. The cap secures really well so there are no leaks or spills. I adore the pink shiny base. Isn't it cute?

I did nearly run a mile when I realised how PINK the contents were but, don't be conned into thinking at your face will end up that colour. The product blends to leave a nice "pinched cheek" shade. As a girl I was always told blusher should look like I've just stepped into the heat from a cold winters day and this is the result I get with this product. Lovely thick, creamy consistency. Soft to the touch.

Posie Tint lasts FOREVER. I have had this bottle for over 6 months now and I still have half a bottle. Available to buy from Boots at £24 for 50 ml its brilliant value for money.

Personally I find this a must have in any make- up bag. Brilliant for travel. The longevity and staying power of this cosmetic are amazing, It can last into the next day unless you use a good make up remover. It does remove with ease if you use a good make up remover. Soap and water will budge it but it would take a lot of washing. Holiday planned? going to be in the sea? pool? This is for you.

The only fault I can find with this are its quite quick drying, so once it touches the skin, you've got to get it blended quickly (especially on the cheek), otherwise you could end up blotchy/ streaky. If you needed a fake cheek look for Halloween or a children's party, this product makes that infamous perfect circular clown cheek but only if you leave it to dry in the place you put it and don't blend. Not what you might want to hear on a make up review BUT as long as you tailor the way your using the product it will meet your every need.

Anyone else use this? Do you love it too?

Much Love
Amy
