Benefit: Cha Cha Tint Review and Swatches

Benefit’s Cha Cha Tint is a mango colored lip and cheek stain. I am new to cheek stains but I thought I would give this a try. The packaging is simple comparing it to other Benefit products but encases a pretty orangey color within. I first tried this product out as a lip stain and at first it appeared very orange until I spread it out with my finger. After spreading the tint it appeared less orange and some of the color disappeared a little bit so I had to apply a little more. Once I got to the desired color I tried to wash my hands to get the tint off my finger but it stained it and I couldn’t get it off until I washed them a few more times. The tint had a long staying power on my lips – it lasted all day. When I used this as a cheek stain I could not fully blend the tint into my cheek and it left little streaks (as you can see in my picture). On my cheeks the stain was not as pigmented as it was on my lips. The stain on my cheeks lasted all day as well which if I could have blended it would have been great. Luckily both the stain on my lips and cheeks came off with my face wash. You have to work fast when using this product so it distributes properly. I probably would not continue to use this as a cheek stain but as a lip stain it works nicely.
