I have always enjoyed Benefit's cheeky packaging and cleverly named products, I have had my share of disappointments over the years. Two of the products that I am so happy with now, are kinder, gentler versions of two well known bestsellers; Benetint a deep rouge cheek stain left me looking like I was harboring a high fever and High Beam highlighter that made me fluorescent instead of incandescent. On to better days...
Posie Tint ($29) was a gorgeous surprise. Though I suspected this soft pink hue would not provide enough color, the liquid-gel formula is easily buildable and will last from dawn (8 am, Diva time) till dusk, with nary a touch up. I could see using this every day for um, ever.
While it's billed as a cheek and lip tint, it sadly is too pale for me, though I appreciate the shot at having a multi-tasker in my arsenal.
Watt's Up ($30) is everything you would want from a highlighter, a gentle glow, that glides on and finishes like a powder. It couldn't be easier to bring out your cheekbones, and illuminate your eyes. I like to apply it with a small foundation brush, so I can blend it seamlessly, under my eyebrows, in the corner of my eyes and on the center of my lid.
The opposite end is a sponge tip, intended for blending. Mine is still pristine...
The last item of my love list is Stay Don't Stray ($26), a perfectly neutral, creamy primer, that is intended for use under the eye, before concealer, and on the lids before shadow. This is, hands down the best eye primer I have used and the only one I have seen that is intended for use both north and south, of the eyeball.
