Benefit Pocket Pal

I bought this product while on yet another shopping frenzy at Sephora. At first i was worried that the dark reddish colour that you see through the bottle would translate the same colour onto my skin. First i applied the product to my lips as a lip stain. I couldn't believe how it easy it was to put on and how quickly it dried. The problems with using the product as a lip tint, are that if you go out of your lip line..good luck getting it off. Also if you apply too many coats it looks like you're wearing a dark mauve lipstick, which isn't flattering on pale skin tones like mine in the winter. When i applied to my cheeks, it wasn't the easiest thing to do, ...  Read the complete review

well- the blood-red lips part anyway! ..ok its not quite as gruesome as that sounds, its actually quite gorgeous! to begin with, the one thing that i cannot seem to pull off (or enjoy wearing, for that matter) is lipstick.. don't get me wrong, i'll wear it if i have to, but being supposedly "blessed" with fuller (southern asian) lips, lipstick just makes me feel like a clown when i wear it! enter the Benefit Benetint era, and Bingo! my lips are saved! now i can definitely say i have found a product that i feel comfortable wearing almost everyday. I first saw Benetint in numerous magazines, and always wondered if ...  Read the complete review

I discovered Benefit Benetint when I was having my free Benefit makeover at Debenhams. The makeup artist who was doing my makeup was telling me about all the products she was using. She was applying this interesting dark red liquid to my cheeks, which sort of scared me, but when I looked in the mirror, it looked really nice because it blends in really well. She told me it could be used as liquid blusher but also as lip stain. She showed me this double-ended thing called Pocket Pal which has Benetint in one side and clear gloss in the other. Along with a few other Benefit things, this was one of my purchases. I tried it at home and ...  Read the complete review

I always like to treat myself at Christmas as despite writing a list there are just some presents that I know I'm better off buying myself, or risk my family buying me the wrong version. Very often I keep make up off my Christmas list as I love browsing and choosing myself. One of my Christmas presents to myself this year was something known as the Pocket Pal Benetint and Gloss from Benefit. It's something I've been wanting to try for ages but never quite managed to splurge out on it. Benefit is a rather expensive American beauty brand that prides itself on its cutely named products that do tend to produce quite positive results, or so I've found anyway. It's ...  Read the complete review

I got this as a gift (well not really a gift, rather something my aunt didn't want any more so gave to me, but you get the gist) a couple of months ago, and was pretty happy as I had been searching for a new lip colour. Personally I think this is a perfect colour; especially if you, like me, adore red lips but sometimes are just that bit self-consious about them and worry you can't pull them off. For me this is the happy middle, or happy medium or median, or whatever the phrase is. It's not so red that you think people are staring at you thinking 'Dear God who is that woman who looks like a five year old playing with the jam' - is this just me? And it's bright ...  Read the complete review
