 "Pin It")
I am SO smitten kitten with Benefit’s new twist on their cult-fave BeneTint, Posie Tint. I’ve mentioned Benetint approximately 29367 times on this blog because I absolutely adore it to the point where it has established permanent residency in my makeup bag and I’ve repurchased it no less than 4 times despite its tendency to stain everything I own including my passport. But can’t we agree that sometimes Benetint is a lot of color?
I had the opportunity to try out Posie Tint and I can officially declare it the Benetint for the recessive-gened set. It’s an opaque, gorgeous petal pink that swipes on and leaves you with a coy flush on cheeks and imparts a lit-from-within glow on lips. It’s a very Mercedes-of-License-to-Drive-fame pink.
Just one word of advice: when you apply your three cheek dots make sure to blend IMMED or you’ll be left with the dots ALL day and will look like some kind of rash victim. Just saying.
Originally slated to debut in June, it’s now available for $28 on benefitcosmetics.com. So you can be all, “Posie Tint, get out of my dreams and into my CAR.”
Hi Anon,
You could really do either! Both work on a range of skin tones. Just depends on if you want a rose or petal pink hue.

hey, I was just wondering to buy either posie tint or benetint. I have a darker skin tone.. but not too dark. it’s more like a light medium. with more to olive under tone. which one will suit me best?
bunch of thanks! 🙂
I Love the 80’s! you have quite a repertoire of 80’s mentions! i also, of course, adore License To Drive, i remember thinking when i first saw that Heather Graham was THE most BEAUTIFUL girl ever! i love it when she dances on the car and her hideous 80’s pumps scratch it up!

Anon, if you have any way of doing that, I’ll love you foreva and eva. It’s my DREAM.
dude, you need to be on “I Love the 80s!” stat.
Can I recommend you to VH1 or something???
Ahhh I bought this just last week on an impulse just when I realised I had spent WAY too much already that day – it was worth it though! I actually think it is the best make-up invention/prodcut EVER. I never really took to benetint, not really into that shade of berry, I much prefer this pretty perfect pink, and it last ages and looks dewy on your skin and not cakey, perfect perfect perfect! In a way kinda annoying as I was quite proud of my stila convertible colour collection that I had grown, which are blates never gonna get used now. I wonder if benefit will bring a coral/orange one out now…
AH! Very exciting to hear this. I love Benetint, but because I’m of the recessive-gene pool myself, I use it and then put more foundation over the top of it to 1) lighten it and 2) make it look like the glow is coming from “within”… makes it look more natural. So now I have an easier solution. Thanks!
Oh, I am so excited about this new product. I’m glad to hear you love it so much. Thanks.
I’m obsessed with benetint. It goes great on the cheeks with a little highbeam. I can’t wait to pick up posie tint!
you should totally be on I Love the 80’s! you have quite a repertoire of 80’s mentions! i also, of course, adore License To Drive, i remember thinking when i first saw that Heather Graham was THE most BEAUTIFUL girl ever! i love it when she dances on the car and her hideous 80’s pumps scratch it up!
Jamie, you will LOVE IT. I’m obsessed. I know. I totes don’t understand why VH1 hasn’t invited me to comment on I Love the 80s yet. I’d clearly have a lot to say.
Okay, stop it already. This latest 80s reference is the best one yet — my bro and I watched License to Drive like once a week throughout the 80s. And I am dying for this product now!
