Up on attending the media night of the new Benefit boutique at Paddington, I come bearing pretty pink-y blush-y news. The best selling lip and cheek (or nipple, as I’ve been told) stain Benetint has a little sister, Posie Tint. Oh there will be sibling rivalry, indeed. Posie Tint, 30 years in the making, is a more subtle, pink based colour, as opposed to Benetint's redder, rosy undertones. The Posie Tint is also a gel, making it easier to blend than its older sibling. The Posie is great for that dewy look as when I applied it I noticed it had a subtle glowy, shimmery effect on the cheeks. Prefect product for the “oh I can’t be bothered but I still wanna look alive” days. I have drawn a little (and very basic) colour diagram to show the difference between the two stains.
Oh and incase your wondering, the Benefit boutique looks like a big candy store with Benefit products left right and centre. It’s not your usual make up store, they have a “beauty bar” where you can get all your facial waxing and tinting done while you sit up (read: no spillage of dye into your eyes). They also have another room downstairs called the Pretty Room where they do all the body waxing in private. After you’ve been waxed tweezed and tinted, you can get all your redness covered up at the beauty tables. Oh, and I must make a mention of the pretty little pink “Posie” cakes made in the honour of the Posie Tint; they were yum-o and the perfect shade of pink like the stain itself.
