Benefit Posietint vs Etude House Fresh Cherry Lip tint // Dupes

L-R : Etude House Fresh Cherry #PK002 - Benefit Posietint Swatches // Stain

So let's talk about lip tints! I always adore lip tint as it's a great 2 in 1 product for the cheek and lip. They're great staple product on the go. Even for people who doesn't wear makeup, I would highly suggest to invest on one of these lip tint as they look natural on. Moreover, they feel super comfortable on the lips. Great for a "no-makeup" makeup look.

Benefit Posietint

One of my favourite lip tint has got to be the Benefit Posietint (US$30). Benefit Posietint is describe as a hot pink lip stain. Colour wise, it's quite pigmented on the lips.  However, not so pigmented when I use it as a cheek stain. The texture is milky. The stain will last for about 2-4hours. I find that it's a bit drying on the lips. Benefit Posietint has a brush applicator which I'm not a fan of, I personally prefer a dover applicator. 

Etude House Fresh Cherry 

I've just recently acquired Etude House Fresh Cherry in PK002 (US$10) . It's a bright pink colour. The colour is as pigmented as the Posietint. The Etude tint has a yummy fruity scent which I adore. I find that on the cheek, the stain is much more pigmented unlike the Benefit Posietint. Longevity wise, the tint will last for about 2-4hours as well. The good thing is, it's not as drying as the Benefit one. I also like the dover applicator on this. Moreover, it's way more affordable than the Benefit one.

New in Bourjois

Bourjois bronzing primer - cream blush #3 Rose Tender - colorboost lip crayon in Peach on the Beach

Bourjois Bronzing Primer 
This has a similar concept with the ever so popular Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel a.k.a the bronze universal. However, I have never thought of splurging in a bronzer. I may splurge on foundation or blush but just not bronzer. Bought it when I saw it was on sale at ASOS together with the cream blush. Anyway, this is suppose to be a primer but instead I use it for contouring my face. I find that this will also be a great multipurpose product, it can act as a corrector if your foundation is not in the right shade by mixing with your foundation. I like the fact that it is in a gel cream mousse consistency which I find very easy to blend. On the tube it looks very intense and orangey. But when you apply it on your face, it turn into a very natural matte brown look. It smells great as well, just like chocolate. I highly recommend this even if you have pale skin.

Bourjois Cream Blush
I have started to move to a cream blush girl since having and loving my Stila Convertible blush. Moreover, the cream-powder formula concept intrigued me to buy them. I choose #3 Rose tender as it leans toward the pink family. As you all might or might not know that I love my pink blush. It gives a natural glowy look to my face. I'm loving it so far. I apply it using my Real technique stippling brush or even my hands if Im in a hurry. Great on-the-go product. Longevity wise, they last around 5-6hrs. Not bad for a drugstore product.

Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon
So, after, Clinique, Tarte, Revlon and Covergirl. Bourjois decided to make their own little chubby stick. Decided to buy them after swatching them at Priceline. I picked up Peach on the beach, such a cute name.  Compare to the Revlon JBKBS, it's way more moisturising and hydrating on the lips. But, colour wise, it does not leave any kind of stain and does not stays on the lip for along time. To be honest, I still prefer my Revlon JBKBS. But the fact that it has an SPF15 is really a plus for me.

How to: Simple Gradient Lips Look

I have been sporting gradient lips look for quiet awhile now. It's been my go-to effortless lips look. Gradient lips look is so popular among the Asian especially Japanese and Korean. I find them really flattering on. So here is my easy steps to achieve the perfect gradient lips look.

1. Prepare your lips by using a lip scrub and moisturise them.

2. Conceal the outer part of your lips. I like using a beauty blender or any sponge to dab on the concealer. It's recommended to use a moisturising concealer.

3. Choose your favourite lip product, it may be a lipstick or a liptint. Apply to the inner part of your lips.

4. Pout your lips and apply more of the lip product. I find it easier to pout to be able to easily apply to the inner part of the lips.

5. Pressed your upper and lower lips together. This will make sure that the tint will spread naturally and stays on longer.

6. Dab the lip product if needed.

7. Put a clear gloss to make your lips look fuller and plump. And.. Voila! Your gradient lips is done.  


Super easy and fun!
