THE INSPECTION:

I use this as a blush sometimes and every time I do, I always wonder why I don't use it everyday.  It gives your face a sunny look and people always ask if I went to the beach.  It looks like a fresh healthy "just enough" sun glow.  You only need a tiny tiny tiny amount.  It is very dark but when it goes on, it is the perfect color.  It is a coppery, brick color and seems to look good on all skin tones.  The less you use, the better with this product.

BENEFIT BENETINT

THE CLAIMS:

In 1977, Jane and Jean Ford, the twin sisters behind Benefit, met a local dancer who requested a long-lasting red pigment that wouldn’t budge during her shows. They listened, and this beloved rose lip and cheek stain was born. Year after year, it’s a bestseller for good reason: the translucent color leaves us with a natural flush so we look pretty, not made-up. 

This lightweight stain goes on sheer for buildable rosy coverage. The long-lasting formula is made with carmine rose petals and lasts for hours. Not surprisingly, it’s a staple with celebrities, makeup artists, and models. 

Smile and dab three small strokes on the apples of your cheeks. Blend immediately, as the formula does dry quickly. Next, dot on your lips and blend with clean fingertips. Apply another layer if you want a deeper crimson hue.

 

  

THE INSPECTION:

I love this blush and lip stain!!  It is a perfect color and I love the staying power of it.  It is translucent which makes it look so natural and you can build it to the color you want.  You have to be really careful putting it on because it drys really fast and wont budge after it's applied.  I have found that building it a little at a time works best.  It is pretty on the lips but doesn't stay on that long for some reason. Which is weird because it is a stain.  But for a blush- it's the perfect stain!  It smells like roses!! I love it and this bottle will last you over a year which makes the price easier to take.

BENEFIT CHA CHA TINT

$29.00

SEPHORA, HSN, BENEFITCOSMETICS.COM

THE CLAIMS:

 A mango-tinted lip and cheek stain.

This mango-tinted stain beautifully blushes lips and cheeks with a tropical sunset hue. Smooch-proof and smudge-proof, this sheer stain will have you looking deliciously sun-kissed for hours.

THE INSPECTION:

Orange is the trend color right now so I thought I would try this blush.  You wouldn't think orange would look good on your skin or lips but this actually looks really pretty on.

 

It is a gel consistency like the posie tint. The color is bright but once it's on it looks more apricot and sheer. I love that it's a stain and it doesn't come off, but if you apply too much or put it on the wrong place you may have to start over because it does not come off until you wash it off.  In fact, if you use your fingers to apply it, they will be stained all day.  You have to really scrub it off. 

 

You should apply a tiny bit at a time, blend - and see if you need more.  On the lips I had to put on a few coats for it to show up.  I really love the color and staying power of this.  Great natural looking blush!

THE INSPECTION:

This is a great color in the e.l.f. Color Stick!  You can use this as a blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick.  It's a pretty pale pink color with a little shimmer.  You only need a small amount because it is very pigmented.  I like it for a quick makeup day.  It gives your cheeks a pink glow and it's not too heavy.   This lasts a long time and it smells like candy.

HARD CANDY HIDE & GLOW CHEEK TINT-DUO

AVAILABLE IN 3 COLORS  
$6.00 AT WALMART

THE CLAIMS:  

This color is called Hot Date.

A cheek tint that brightens cheeks for a just pinched natural flush. Lightweight formula blends evenly into skin and lasts for hours! Two perfectly coordinated shades - wear alone or blend together. 

THE INSPECTION:   

I love this blush. It comes in 3 shades:  Pillow talk, In love, and Hot date.  The colors on each double ended stick coordinate with each other- - one lighter and one darker.  This is a blush that would work well on dryer skin. It is very sheer and gives just the right amount of color.  It gives a dewy look and lasts all day.  You can also put it on your lips for a little color.  And the packaging is so cute!
