Benetint Lip Balm Instead Of Lip Gloss Lipstick

Think of the shade as a very sheer cherry red. Lots of women have described the color as the stain left behind from enjoying a cherry popsicle.

When you're running out the door and you don't want to be caught alive with a plain, bare face, take a quick dip into this little pot of Benefit Cosmetics' Benetint Lip Balm. Your lips will thank you.

Okay, maybe the price is a wee steep---$20 for a small pot of rosy tinted lip balm, www.sephora.com.

We saw an acquaintance of ours, dipping into a small pot to refresh her lips. We asked her what she was dabbing on, and she showed us. Benetint Lip Balm. Yes, almost like the legendary Benefit Cosmetics' Benetint formula they put out, that is applied to both cheeks and lips. But this little cutie lip balm is just for your smacker.

It's a soft, rosy pink shade that can be layered and layered for a deeper cherry hue. It's hydrating with Vitamin E and an SPF of 15. And it comes with a tiny lip brush for applying, but most women we know, just dip their finger into the pot and apply.

When you want just a hint of color, this Benetint Lip Balm comes to the rescue. Soft and pretty.
