Benefit Cosmetics Benetint


So right...5

To all of the people out there still thinking that liquid stain is tricky to use I really want to recommend this product. No wonder there's been a dozen new versions and imitations of it as soon as it came out they got it exactly right the first time!



Benetint is a wonderful pink-reddish color that looks good on just about anyone I'd say it's universally flattering. The formula's completely liquid so the best recommendation is just not to take TOO long to work on it or it'll dry on your cheeks. The key is to dab a little on the apple of your cheeks and work with your fingertips.



I a former devotee of powder blushes originally bought this for my lips as it gives them a nice I've-been-sucking-on-a-lollipop color and a great look when used under gloss. However I tried it out on my cheeks one day that I was sick and looked really pale...wow! It looks so natural my mother even asked me if I'd had a walk in the sun. That I think is the best part about it no other thing I've ever tried has looked as natural. I have to admit it looked amazing lasted all day and smells like roses.



Don't be fooled by the price and the size very little goes a long way and even with daily use it'll last you a looong time. A wonderful product and a great buy.More detail ...

Benefit Cosmetics Dr. Feelgood


Wonderful after a second try!4

Like some others mentioned I was a little confused and disappointed when I followed the directions to apply Dr Feelgood OVER my makeup. (I seriously wonder if that's a misprint?) It mattified my face but didn't do anything for the appearance of my pores and it wiped off my blush.



So then I tried it again putting it on first before anything else and VOILA! I LOVE this stuff. I have huge pores and with a little smudge off this over my cheeks they completely disappear.



I have combination skin and it's been getting drier on my cheeks the older I get. Even using this over dry skin I had no problems.



So the only reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 is that it doesn't work well with the "dewy" look. It's very very matte. (But I'll happily make the sacrifice to make my pores disappear!)



I think the price is fine - the stuff lasts forever and it isn't a drugstore brand after all. All makeup and products from companies like this cost a bit more. I used to carry it in my bag all day and then I realized that there's no point - I only need to put it on once in the morning and it lasts all day.



As for the controversial smell - I love it I think it smells fresh and clean and slightly lemon-y and the packaging is terribly cute.More detail ...
