Does Benetint work?

Hi guys! This week I decided to review a product that I have been using for  several months now; Benetint.

I got this product at Sephora but I have also seen it at Ulta and many online stores, the price for it is around $30-$32 and even though it might seem expensive I have to say it is worth it because it lasts a very long time even if it is used every day.  Personally, I use it around 3-4 times a week since 5 months ago and I still have over half the bottle left.

What this product does is it works as both a lip tint and a blush, it promises to be long lasting and smudge proof.

The packaging really resembles a nail polish, even the brush. One thing that should be noticed is that it is not very thick, it is actually very runny so it should be applied with caution since it is a stain, you don't want to stain outside your lips.

I didn't want to base my review only from personal experience so I decided to gather two of the prettiest girls I know, Daniela(before Benetint)..

And Jessica(before Benetint)..

This is the final result with TWO coats of Benetint.

After 45 minutes I noticed that Daniela's lips weren't as bright as they had been before, so I used the Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm to bring some color back..

So to be completely even I also applied the Tinted Lip Balm on Jessica (who actually kept the same bright color on her lips)

Benetint is a fun product to use, it looks good and it doesn't smell weird which is always a good thing. But the Hydrating Lip Balm actually seems like a better option. 

Overall, they were both pleased with the result but we actually don't believe that it is long-lasting. While it does stay on for a while, it does disappear after you eat or drink something. It also tends to accumulate in the inner part of the bottom lip. One good thing however, it really is smudge proof.

Would we wear this again? Yes, but only until it runs out because it is expensive.

Would I buy again? No, there are so many (cheaper) products out there which I'm sure do a better job.

The real (and unexpected) winner here is the product that wasn't even supposed to be reviewed, the Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm.
