Benetint

Unless you been living under a rock for the past few years, you've likely heard of Benefit's best-selling, award-winning lip and cheek stain called Benetint. This red rose-colored liquid creates a natural, healthy-looking flush to whatever it touches. Its popularity has spawned many other products like Pocket-Pal, a smaller version of the tint with a clear lip gloss, Posietint, a brighter and sheer pink tint and Benetint Lip Balm ($20) a deep pink, non-sticky and light lip balm that has recently been updated to include SPF 15.

I've been dying to check this out for ages, and this past weekend, I played around with the petite pot. The texture is delicate, smooth, ever-so-slightly waxy, but mostly creamy and refreshing. This has a lot do with the fact that it contains not only Vitamin E and other emollients but also real rose petals that give it a signature sweet and girly fragrance.

It can be worn alone (it looks way lighter on than the original tint does), or you can wear it over or under your favorite lipstick to make it appear more sheer. Lip balms are a great love of mine, and I'm happy to add this one to my list.

Wow, you ladies really know your stuff when it comes to picking the must-have honeymoon items. For last week's Beauty Mark It challenge, I asked you to select the essential products for your first vacation as a married couple. Did you ever!

CocoChic says this pocket-sized version of BeneTint will last through lots of kissing, and Steen loves Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion because it keeps eye shadow in place even in hot, humid weather. Mellie_608 suggested using Bare Escentuals Shine Control Sheets to blot out oil and shine so you'll look great in pictures.

I've assembled all of the Honeymoon Essentials beauty marks in a handy widget, so you can just use the arrows on the upper right to scroll through the Beauty Marks! If you want to learn more about a product, just click on the link. Nice work, everyone!

Although at first I was hesitant, because they looked kind of messy, I am completely in love with Cheek and Lip Stains. They are so sheer and natural looking, you almost don't need any other makeup. Great for Summer and Early Fall!

Here are a couple of my favorites:

Benetint Cheek and Lip Flush - Celebrating thirty years of fame, this is the creme of the crop and one of the originals. It's available for $28, here

The Balm Stainiac - I like this one because of the lipgloss-like applicator. It also comes in three different colors, which is nice. Available for $14, here
