Since it’s a Sunday and there’s nothing else to do, I decided to put Benetint to test.
I actually tried using this months ago. I got this from the Primping with the Star Beauty Kit of Benefit Cosmetics. I think Benefit’s marketing strategy in combining their products together in one set, complimenting each other, packed in small sizes and making it appear that it is affordable – is starting to work. One reason why I don’t use the Benefit Cosmetics is the price. (Full size products are around Php 1,600.00) It’s not exactly way beyond my budget since I splurge on some Mac and Urban Decay but because I don’t think I can trust it enough. I wasn’t so sure as to whether it is comparable to the high end brands of the same range of price or not.
Good thing, the Primping with the Stars was a gift from a friend and now I got more Benefit products from my June BDJ Box.
The white one came with the Primping with the Stars beauty set and the black Benetint was one of the samples I got from my June BDJ Box.
I didn’t open my new Benetint since I still have one that I can use.
At first, I noticed how similar it is with the Avon cheek and lip tint (mini roll-on) and The Body Shop cheek and lip tint. Both products are satisfying for me. And my Benetint seems to be competing well against both products when it comes to quality. But for the price, Benetint appears to be way too expensive as compared to Avon and The Body Shop.
I tried it on my lips and I can see a remarkable difference.
I also tried it ob my cheek. Hmmm… I didn’t see much of a difference although it improved the color on cheek.
So let’s try answering the following questions:
1. Will I purchase the the full size?
Sadly, it’s a NO. I would rather go for Avon because it can give me the same effect for a cheaper price.
2. Rate the product’s ease in application. 1-5, 5 as the highest.
4, the brush easily glides on my skin and provides just the right amount needed.
3. Rate the product’s long lasting ability. 1-5, 5 as the highest.
4, it lasted the whole day. I applied it this morning and it stays on until now. ^_^
4. Rate the product’s appearance on the skin. 1-5, 5 as the highest.
4, it gives me a light shade of pink on my cheek and a very strong color on my lips.
5. Rate the scent of the product. 1-5, 5 as the highest.
4, it does not have a strong scent unlike the Avon cheek and lip tint.
6. Overall rating. 1-5, 5 as the highest.
4. Good enough for me.
So there… hope this helps! *_*
