I ran out of products to do a review. So I'll just share with you my old / vintage Cheek & Lip tint from Herbench/ which I have for like 4 or 5 years now. Yah, I know I shouldn't keep any make up that long.
It takes me forever to finish this product! hehe. I know it's kinda gross but it still do its job so why throw it? Unless it started to irritate my skin. I do check my make-ups once in a while, like swatch it to my wrist. We all know expiration dates mostly came off with the packaging.
Whenever I wanted to go out not wearing too much make-up I always ended up using my Missha BB cream, Maybelline gel liner and my prettywhenpinched cheek & lip tint. But I mostly use this only on my cheeks and apply my Nivea lip gloss on my lips.
Product info:- Comes in a small glass pail type packaging. (kinda looks like a nail polish)
- Purple-ish tint
- PRICE: around P100-200.00 approx $2-4
What I l♥ve:
- Cheap
- Doesn't clogged my pores
- Didn't give me break outs
- Gives natural blush (not very pigmented)
- Oil free
- Build-able and never tends to look overdone.
What I hate:
- Strong smell (I can't even describe it.)
- Dries too fast
- Dries my lips
Tips:
- I suggest you rub it first between your fingers then apply it on your cheeks.
- Don't apply it directly from the brush.
- Do one cheek at a time & blend.
Rating: 2 out of 5
Will I repurchase?
- Nope. I still have a lot of this product. :) I only gave it 2 bunnies coz it really dries my lips. I don't usually use it on my lips but for the sake of this review I did it again. Sorry lips. :(
Have you tried this product yet?
What's the best cheek/lip tint have you ever tried?
Additional facts:
I found this very alarming info from .Berry Rush x3 post and I really want my readers to be aware of it. Have you tried fish pedicure or fish spa? I remember when my cousins and I went to Ocean Park in Manila and saw their Fish spa corner. Eventually two of my cousins went in to test it out. After reading the article I was so thankful that I didn't even tried to go in that spa. Why? These fishes who actually eats your dead skin can carry deceases from open wounds and pass it from person to person. And this info was actually published by BBC News. For more info, you can visit this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12595809

Hugs and kisses,
that fish spa tip is alrmung,....wt if they have HIV or smth scary....but iv never tried any tint b4, but alwasy curious about them~~~~
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a cheek tint before - powder blushes just seem so much easier to use :P The color is really pretty though for a natural look :) And thanks for sharing the news about the fish spas - that's really dangerous that something so risky is still being offered to people ><
ReplyDeleteOmg..thats crazy about the fish pedicure! I wouldn't try them myself even before i heard that awful news >_< I'm not a big fan of cheek/lip tint..but i remember i used to buy sprays from herbench :D
ReplyDeleteAlarming right? :/ it looks cool though. Hehe.
ReplyDeletePowder blushes are the best! :) we should really spread the news. Tsktsk.
ReplyDeleteYeah. They should close their spas asap. Lol.
ReplyDeleteAww I really wanted to try the fish spa! Thanks for the info though, it made me think twice. Haha! Is the lip and cheek tint still available at Bench stores?
ReplyDeleteI saw it last time. I think its still available :)
ReplyDeleteStrong smell? eeks! I can't wear strong smelling products..
ReplyDeleteYou're nearly finished with the product! Yay! hehe
Reminds me of Benefit's benetint! But that ones more affordable :)
ReplyDeleteomg, didn't know that about fish spa's I'm glad I never tried it. Thanks for letting us know. I'll be reading the link you posted.
i agree with catmare's comment. :) i think the etude house and tony moly also has a similar tint. anyway dear, thanks for publishing the info on fish spa.
ReplyDeleteNever tried lip and cheek tints before but I think I might try them now. And waaa I never knew about the fish spa thingy. I mean, I've heard of it but never wanted to try it 'cause those fishies have already been eating stuff from other people's feet, and I don't think it's just right for the fish to eat stuff out of our feet anyway @.@ Geez that's just gross for both sides.
ReplyDeleteI've tried this years ago, way back when their tints are still packaged in tubes. Never liked it because I couldn't apply it right and always end up having Betty Boop cheeks. :P
ReplyDeleteRe: Fish spa, thanks for the info. The idea of fishes eating my skin freaks me out. :D
i love yours too! been into yer layout and cute things!
ReplyDeletebut idk where to find your follow me link. :/

ReplyDeleteyour blog is really cute, i wanna try fish spa but in France i dont't know where i can find a spa like this ><
wow, that's some serious info. Thanks for sharing about the Fish Spa thingi. and Oh, when you get rid of this lip/cheek tint, I saw a lip/cheeck tint at Etude House, it looked really promising. try checking it out...hehe.. thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've never been to Herbench for years already! LOL I also tried that when it was still in a tube and yeah it dries quickly! But I like how it leaves a natural blush. Anyway, I don't use blush nowadays and I think I should be shopping for one now, lol.
ReplyDelete:O I'm so shocked about that Fish Spa thingy. Aww poor fishes! Haha~ Sorry that is the first thing that came into me. But whoa~ that's really alarming. Good thing I've never tried that. ^^

ReplyDeleteHi sweetie,I love lip and cheek stains:) I'm using currently the benefit's lip and cheek stain.It's very light and easy to apply:) By the way, I shared an award with you, check it out here: http://aimee0610my.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-first-blog-award.html#links
ReplyDeletehope you like it:)
ohh i think i have that too, although mine was in a tube.
ReplyDeleteI lost it though, so annoying >.<
and it was really useful and practical to me! D:
thanks for following my blog btw. :)
I personally think the one in the tube is much more useful than this one. I also think that they've changed it to water-y formulation :(
ReplyDeletewow thank you for giving me an award! will check it out! yey! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for liking the award dear:) Happy(^~^), and thanks again for sharing the informations about this Fish spas!.
ReplyDeletei like the colour sorry to hear it was crap quality though :(
ReplyDeleteBench cheek and lip tint is one of the products that I've been using for years. I think its because I get dissatisfied with the powder brush stuff... or I just haven't found a good one. I like this very much but I only use it on my cheeks. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm actually curious with the fish spa. hehe. thanks for the info :) I never thought before that it can transfer diseases.
have a nice Sunday :)
Tessa
I wanna try the one in the tube. I can't find it elsewhere. happy sunday dear :D
ReplyDeleteyeah :(
ReplyDeletewill be posting mine tom :D
ReplyDeleteawwee the bottle is so cute and I love the name of this!
ReplyDeleteprettywhenpinched? hehe. yeah. cute right? :D
ReplyDeleteeeks. that fish spa business sounds alarming. I can definitely imagine all sorts of parasite and infectious disease being spread.
ReplyDeleteyou might get something not even studied yet coz of the combination of diff diseases right? LOL am I making sense? haha
ReplyDeleteLol,
ReplyDelete/whispers
I actually kept some make up for at least 7 years now :P I don't use them but it makes me happy just to see it. AhAaaaa
So far the best lip tint I've used is Anna Sui's. I have one similiar to yours from Body shop but I hate it cause it dries up my lips too
Fish spa? Argh, the last time I went for it, I screamed everytime they came near. Paid for 10 minutes but I think my feet was in the water for only a minute. The fishes scares the shit out of me when I see all of them heading to my feet like piranahs >.<;;;
so true. I love keeping them even I dont actually use them. haha
ReplyDeleteLMAO :))) pirahas! hahaha. You're crazy girl. I like your attitude. LOL :))
Aww I really wanted to try the fish spa! Thanks for the info though, it made me think twice. Haha! Is the lip and cheek tint still available at Bench stores?
