Price/Amount?
For $28.00 USD you get 12.5 ML / 0.40 US fl oz.
It may be a little pricey for some people who are not used to spending that much on 1 makeup item. If you would like to try it before you buy it BeneFit has a nifty smaller size for $10.00 USD for 2.5 ml / 0.08 US fl oz.


What is it?
BeneFit Benetint is a cheek and lip stain. It is supposed to be water proof and kiss proof.



Awards?
It won the Real Simple magazine's "can't-live-without-household-products-hall-of-fame" award, the Marie Claire's "Top 25 Products that Changed our Lives" for "the fave for rosy cheeks and lips" and Voted "best blush" by Elle magazine in 2006



Packaging?
The packaging like most of Benefits liquid products is in the old' "nail polish" packaging. This has a white screw off top, with black bristled applicator. It is in a glass container. The container is clear with the words "bene" on top and "tint" underneath.


Consistency?
The consistency of this is like water.


Smell?
This smells like roses. Not over powering, buts you smell it during application but fades shortly after.


Taste?
Lets just say it doesnt taste good.


Color?
This only comes in one color. In the tube it is almost the exact color of blood. When you apply it its goes on a sheer berry color. It can be applied more for a more intense color.


Application?
You must apply this fast. Since it has such a watery consistency it dries quickly and if not blended fast enough it could look blotchy.


How to apply to cheeks?
1. Remove cap.

2. Using built in applicator quickly run 3 stripes on the apples.

3. Blend with your fingers in a circular motion outwards.

4. Repeat if desired. (For a more intense color)

How to apply to lips?

1. Remove lid.

2. Using built in applicator run brush across bottom lip and then rub lips together.

3. Dip wand back into stain and rub brush onto top lid. Then rubs lips together.

4. Repeat until desired color/look.

Overall?
I like this. It gives a natural flushed look. You can customize it to your liking. Dark flush/light flush. It dries kind of fast which might be a problem for some people. Its not heavy or greasy at all. I am not fond of the smell though. It lasts a very long time on the cheeks. It usually dosent come off till I wash it off. The lips are a different story. I dont like this on the lips maybe because I am not a red lip kind of girl. On the lips it also dosent stay the same color everywhere. Where your lips touch it usually is darker there and it looks odd. Kind of like if I was sucking on a popsicle all day. It also dosent last long on the lips either (mainly because I lick my lips). I do like this as a blush though! Also what I really like about this is that it dosent have a ton of ingredients! It has about 5 ingredients in them! So it feels nice to put something on my face that I actually know what most of it is.

Ingredients?
Water, Rose Water, Glycerin, Quarternium-15, Carmine.
