Benefit’s Benetint has had a cult following since it came out years ago and I am a part of that cult thank you very much.  I’ve never been much of a powdered blush girl - it always ends up looking fake and caked on to me.  Which is why I love Benetint - it gives you a natural rosy glow look that can be replicated by a few spins around the block.  Up until now, Benetint has only been available in a “one color suits all” shade of berry red. Benefit has cooked up a new shade for the ladies called Posietint.  Posietint is a bit lighter than Benetint and comes in a petal pink color.  The stains work equally well on cheeks and lips and last for hours.  I can’t wait to try this new shade!

The subtle flush of stained lips speaking is intoxicatingly sexy. Light weight and slightly longer lasting than lipstick, lip stain can be used on the lips, cheeks, and basically anywhere you want to create a naturally “flushed” look. Lip stains are a great alternative for those disliking the heavy and sometimes sticky texture of lipsticks and glosses, and after months of seriously deep reds and painstaking florescent brights, stained lips are a much welcome and refreshing sight, which is why they, in particular, are the subject of this week’s tip and picks.
