Collection 2000 The Cheek of It

This Collection 2000 cheek and lip tint was actually a product that I bought because I wanted to know more about it. I hadn't heard about it before seeing it instore. I lead such a sheltered life that I hadn't even heard about the more expensive lip and cheek tint version from Benetint. But the product caught my eye and I was intrigued to see how something so bright in colouration and watery in consistancy could possibly provide "a tint" to my cheeks and lips. At first glance you could easily mistake this product for nail varnish. It is deep red in colour (shade 1. Cheeky), and is contained in a 12ml glass bottle with a silver coloured lid.

Collection 2000's The Cheek of It! is a product I got free with another purchase ages ago, and probably isn't something I would have bought for myself - but hey if it's free I'll have it! This product is a lip and cheek stain, and if were honest, is a total rip off of premium brand Benefit's product, Benetint, isn't it?

The bottle too is very similar to the Benefit one, being round glass with a silver lid, to which a brush is attached - just like a bottle of nail varnish really. It's a 12ml bottle, so fairly big really, and it might be worth noting that it only ...  Read the complete review

Writing my 'Whats in your make-up bag' review is costing me money!

I have always fancied some of the famous Benetint liquid blush but as usual the hefty price tag of £22.50 put me off. I knew I wanted that kind of formula though so started looking for a liquid blusher at the cheaper end of the ...  Read the complete review

I quite fancied buying some Benetint, Benefit's lip and cheek tint, but really didn't want to pay over £20 for it! When I found this lip and cheek tint while browsing Collection 2000's range, it was as though someone had answered my prayers! At under £4 it was a fraction of the price of Benefit's. The product is a very dark red liquid, extremely runny. I did wonder if it would be too dark for me, as I have very pale skin. But in fact it goes on a lot lighter and is very subtle. It is very easy to use@ just dab about three dots of product onto each cheek and blend with your fingers. It actually suits pale skin really well! I tried the product on my ...  Read the complete review
