Let's start with the price; Benetint - a lip and cheek stain - costs £21.50 which is pretty expensive for a 15ml bottle of liquid, however, I have had this for well over a year and still have plenty left.

The product itself comes in a nail varnish style bottle (7cm high and just under 3cm wide). The bottle is made of glass, so I don't like to travel with it - just in case it gets smashed! The lid is made of white plastic. When you twist it off, you will find that a nail varnish style brush is attached. The instructions state that the longer the brush is, the less intense the colour will be. You can trim the brush if you find that you want a more intense look from the product.

The product inside the bottle has the consistency of water - be careful not to knock the bottle over as the colour of the liquid is a very deep red (it comes in one colour only)! The liquid smells lovely - like roses (it contains rosewater), which is a plus if you like that scent.

To apply to the cheeks, I firstly moisturise my skin. I find that this makes the product easier to blend in. I then use the supplied brush to add a few dots of the liquid onto the area that I want to apply it to (I like to smile and add a few dots of the blusher to the apples of my cheeks for a lovely natural flush - the instructions recommend applying three dots to each cheekbone). I then blend the product in with my fingertips. I recommend doing one cheek at a time, as the product dries quite quickly! I find that the product is very easy to apply, and it blends in easily to give a natural look (although you can apply more product to give a more intense look if you want to). I find that the product lasts all day on my cheeks.

Benetint can also be used on the lips to give a rose tinted stain, however I have found that it tends to go on unevenly on my lips. I have tried exfoliating, using different lipbalms before applying it, not using lipbalm at all, but I just can't get it to look right. The inner area of my lips grab the colour more than the rest of my lips, leaving a noticeable colour difference. I have pale lips though; it might not be as noticeable if I had more pigmented lips. Therefore I just use Benetint on my cheeks.

Overall, I would recommend Benetint if you're after a natural looking rosy cheek colour.
