I have always been a sucker for a red lip. Come day or night, my shade of choice has been a loyal friend to me for years. By my side and through the ups and downs of the CBL life roller coaster seated right beside me, bright red lippy has been a girl's best friend. Having oozed classic chic for formal daywear and added high voltage vamp to a night out on the tiles, I thought her and I would be lifelong partners. Sadly for the queen of my heart; a new man has entered my life and disrupted the eternity that me, myself and red lippy were set to share. Locking lips with my fella left him with a rouge face paint, of which understandably, he was not a fan. I found myself in a state of moral dilemma; it was one or the other. Or so I thought.

Once again, Aphrodite worked her magic and combined her godly forces of love and beauty in a stupendous fashion; she had granted me with a man AND Benetint!

A rose tinted lip and cheek stain, Benetint is a kiss-proof (hallelujah!) flush which last for hours on end and with just a few dabs needed on the cheek and lip, its a lovely, easy little number to apply. It's also naturally sheer and suits all complexions. Being a girl on the go, I have been known to hop aboard the train into London town in rush hour with war paint. Having forgotten to rub in the dots on the apples of my cheeks, I've been the recipient of worried glances from my fellow commuters. Besides this terrible crime, Benetint has worked wonders for my cheeks, lips and most importantly, my love life. An absolute must for its multi-purpose nature, this is one lip-tastic treat for men and women alike.
