Has anyone used Benefit Cosmetics?
www.benefitcosmetics.com
I have been wanting to try them, but don't want to waste the $ if they are not worth it.
Thanks! |

I've only used their benetint (the red tint liquid thing).
It works well, but not one of my favs b/c of the price. I can get better quality lip tint from Korean beauty stores for a much cheaper price.
I do like benefit's design though! |

| The packaging design is very innovative and fun - great for impulse buys! I've also tried the benetint. It works, but dries out my lips too much. I also tried the erase paste concealer and high brow highlighting pencil. I found the concealer is tricky - use only a tiny bit or it looks too heavy. I like the highlighting pencil - works great, but you really have to blend it. |

Anna Sui also have pretty attractive designs that is also great for impulse buys.
All these well designed lines are dangerous for the pockets!
Yeah, come to think of it the benetint was also very drying for me.
Has anyone tried their blushes? |

| I forgot...I also tried one of the bronzers - but I think it's a bit too brown for me... and the little brush that comes in the package is terrible. |

I bought a body cream a while ago and didn't get anything more from it other than a different scent.

| I've used Benefit...I like the perfume, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Touch Me then Try to Leave body cream! As for makeup, it is below average...the only thing I would consider actually spending money on...the lipsticks. The concealers are not universally flattering, the powders cake up like you wouldn't believe! And be careful with their products, I've heard a lot of ppl have had reactions to them. |

I like the packaging a lot, but haven't tried that much from the line - I think it's all overpriced IMHO...
I've heard raves for the F.Y.I. and Lemon Aid eye products...but the one thing I have purchased is their Coralista blush - I love it! Slightly glowy, coral-pinky colour. Very nice, and it smells like peaches - LOL. I got it for free with my Shopper's Drug Mart Optimum Points 'cause I never would have paid full price ($32 CDN)! |

| I've never used the Benetint, but I have tried Posietint...it is sooooo faint on the cheeks. I attempted to use it on my lips, and it was just awkward. So I stuck with the cheeks, but you have to put on quite a bit to get the "tint" |

The Benetint is not a bad product, aside from the price and how I can get something similar or even better for a cheaper price in Korea. The benetint looks very natural on my cheeks and lips -- matted and not shimmery at all. The lips need reapplying after a few hours though. A bottle of benetint lasted me for about 3-4 months, however, it only last for about 2 1/2 months for my friend who absolutely loves this product.

I tried benetint before and wasn't a big fan of it.
What I do love from Benefit is their creaseless cream liners. They aren't really that great as liners but incredible for an all over wash of eyeshadow or to act as a base for your eyeshadow. They last all day and with my oily lids, it creases just a bit but nothing too bad. With Urban Decay Primer Potion underneath the creaseless cream liners, it lasts all day without any creasing. My fav colours are RSVP and Skinny Jeans. |

Tried the concealer and I would not recommend it for under-eye circle as it's cakey, but not bad as a concealer for any flaws.
I love the blush Georgia. It's a peachy face colour. It gives a radiant and warmy look when used as face colour. It's great to use it as a blush as well. The packaging is cute and the smell is great.
Heard a lot of good reviews for the Benetint. I tried it in the store. Not my cup of tea. I have a medium (slightly tanned asian skin. Benetint would look good for people who has fair skin tone. |

I do really enjoy their blushes (dandelion, benetint, etc) It's overall a very good line.
They also have this new eye primer, stay don't stray. Works wonders as a concealer stayer for me! (which is a must due to pesky undereye circles) |
