FORMULATION:

I wasn't too impressed with this product. When I first saw it I had some high expectations. Maybelline usually does pretty well when it comes to their cream cheek products. The Baby Skin Instant Cheek Flush is a solid cheek stain. It has a very similar concept to the Tarte Cheek Stains which retail for around $20 each. The packaging is adorable and I do love how the product has a little handle making it super easy to apply. The texture is soft and blend able however the pigmentation is seriously lacking. It gives a very very light touch of color that dissipates after a little while. I do however like using this on my lips instead for a light stain and it stays on pretty well compared to the cheeks. It is also good for a cheek base. The stains allows and keeps powder products on a little bit longer and gives a nice glow underneath. 

Overall 3.5/5

Review: Benefit Lollitint

Benefit recently added a new addition to their tint family; the Lollitint. First a bit of information on Benefit's tints. These tints are designed for both the lips and cheeks. It is a very liquidity product. Tints last longer compared to cream or powder blushes and it is also easier to achieve a more natural look with them.

Benefit Lollitint

PACKAGING: Similar to all the other Benefit tints. Comes in a plastic cylinder bottle with a white cap. The applicator is like a nail polish brush. 

FORMULATION: Like most stains, this one is also a liquid. It is very water like and dries really fast, so you do need to work fast when applying. The best way I have found to apply this is dab three dots on your cheeks (do one side at a time) and use your fingers or a duo fiber stippling brush to blend it in. You don't need much product. 

I love this particular color. It gives a very nice flush to your cheeks waking you up and giving you life back into your face. On the cheeks it is really beautiful however for some reason this is the only Benefit tint that doesn't work on the lips. I applied it once without any lip balm and a second time with lip balm and both times the color cracked into my lips. It was very unattractive to say the least. Wear time is pretty nice with this stain. I had it on for about 5-6 hours and it still looked fresh color was a bit faded but you could tell the color was still there. I do recommend setting it with a translucent powder to extend wear time. Works fabulous on dry skin and oily skin. 

You can purchase Lollitint at these following places. It is pretty pricey but this stuff will last you a long, long time.
