Not impressed

I was so excited for Pocket Pal because I'd read all about how great Benetint is, but I didn't end up enjoying this product at all. It took a lot of time and effort to get any color to show up at all on my lips then when I tried to top it with the clear gloss, half the color would come off anyway. The color also had no staying power, which was surprising since this is supposedly a "stain" and reap...read moreplication took too long. Once or twice I tried the stain on my cheeks and when I could blend quickly enough it worked fine for that, but eventually I gave up and stopped using it entirely.

Great for traveling

I already have the regular size bottle so I was excited to hear about this. I like the brush better on this duo than the regular, and the gloss is a good compliment. I would recommend this.

Great concept, but didn't like

It takes a long time for the Benetint to dry on your lips, so if you use the gloss immediately afterward, you get Benetint all over your wand, and then it gets into the clear gloss. And who wants to wait around for their lip color to dry so they can put the gloss on? Not recommended.

Benetint - Great Product, Bad Packaging

I love love love Benetint. I love the color it gives my lips and it is fairly natural looking. I always have this stuff on hand and use it as a base layer on my lips. Sometimes I apply lipstick, lipgloss or chapstick over it, but it is part of my routine. The only complaint I have (and why it isn't getting the highest rating) is that I have problems with it leaking. When it leaks, you lose a ...read morelot of product and it stains everything. Ruined a Kate Spade cosmetic bag I had. If they could work on the packaging I would give it 100%.

Love it!

Until my friend taught me how to put on the benetint, I was not pleased with this product. She told me to draw three whiskers on each cheek and then lightly blend. Now I love it! It makes me look awake and it is very natural. A little goes a long way with this product.

Not impressed

Although the color is very pretty, it tends to feather. Forget about using the lip gloss because it refuses to come out on the applicator. Little pockets of air get trapped in the gloss which somehow prevents it from getting on the applicator.

I bought this

and I love the smell of it. It didn't last as long as I thought it would.

So-so

I like the benetint on my cheeks, but I really dislike it on my lips...it feathers and bleeds much worse than any other lipstick/gloss/stain I've ever used. I keep it just for my cheeks...but I wouldn't buy it again.

Not for me!

I thought this was an interesting concept like something that may have been used years ago, but for me it was hard to apply as it was too runny and the color much too bright for me!
