Review: Benefit Lollitint

So I got caught up in the huge "Radiant Orchid" 2014 Color of the Year craze! I ended up picking up Benefit's new lip and cheek tint in "Lollitint" ^^!

I'm used to using the small travel sized tints, so the full sized tint looks enormous! It holds 12.5mL/0.42fl oz. I'm pretty sure it will last me over a year, if I ever finish it.

The applicator is similar to a nail polish brush. It actually works great to apply the color to your lips!

The full sized Lollitint is fairly pricey ($30.00 USD), but it is really beautiful. I don't think they have any mini kits out for it yet, but they will likely hit a kit in a year or so. If you can't wait, there are also great sales to pick this up! Starting March 30th, Sephora is having a 15% VIB discount for you and a friend! There is also the 20% holiday sale that Sephora holds every year in the autumn for it's VIB members. I usually wait till that sale every year to get the pricey items I want. Luckily, this time I had a gift card to use on my Lollitint ^^

Swatches:

The color is really bright on me, but shows up lighter for people with less pigmented lips. I really want to try it on with a lighter color below. It also applied a little patchy, whoops!

With Lollitint on both my lips and cheeks ^^ Sorry the quality of the photo isn't very good. Hopefully you can see the cheek color. I applied a clear balm over the lip tint here to even out the slight patchiness on my lips and give it some shine (´▽` )

This is probably my favorite tint from Benefit, after Chacha Tint (I can't resist my coral colors!) It applies extremely smooth and is just so beautiful! It also stays on forever. I ate a few meals and it looked just as bright as when I first put it on even hours later. It didn't last through my shower is all, but it stayed so well outside of it I almost expected it to still be there afterward ^^;;

The other tints I have ^^ (Benetint not pictured) I was able to pick up a nice Sephora travel set that included travel sized Highbeam, Chacha Tint, and Posie Tint for only $17.00. I don't believe they sell it anymore though.

Chacha Tint! My favorite out of all four tints.

Posie Tint is pretty and nice for a natural look. It doesn't show up quite as much as the other tints though.

Benetint is a nice red that can be layered for a stronger red! It is strongly scented like roses, which I usually like but it also tastes like perfume which is super gross ;_;

Overall, Lollitint is a really beautiful color, and while I wish it did show up a little more pale on me, I still love the color nonetheless. I will just have to try it out with a balm or concealer below it or with a small amount to try to achieve the light purple color in the advertisements ^^
