Love this packaging its so cute and I got it off of ebay for less than half of the price of the original, seriously they're on ebay for $4-14. I like the asian girl picture on the top part of the stick and the stick feels so smooth and velvety like nars mutiple sticks. This does contain bismuth oxychloride, I think thats what one of the other reviews was referring to as being an ingredient that can cause breakouts, (you can do research on bismuth on google) however ALL of the skin tints contain bismuth oxychloride so if you're someone who isn't allergic to that then this is just as great as the other skin tint colors, and the packaging is cuter :).
(Most mineral makeups these days, urban decay powders/blushes/eye shadows, smashbox powders/blushes/eye shadows contain bismuth oxychloride so if you can use those without breaking out then youre one of the lucky ones that does NOT have a bismuth allergy)

I love using this color: Bella, for my lips, however you only need a single swipe for the color to show up on your lips so I think this is going to last a VERY long time, I can't imagine using all of this in a year, there is a LOT of product. But for those people who want to use this everyday as a blush and as a lip color I think you could use it up in a year or two. This product is great, love the packaging, love the price(from ebay) and love how long its going to last :) <3
I wish smashbox would bring these back

adorable packaging, metal/plastic and cute tokidoki picture on the tube, very blendable blush, a little goes a long way it gives you a flushed look that is very natural like you were outside on a hot day and just came in, the tube is huge! so I can't imagine how long it will take me to use this all up, I'm pretty sure even with daily use this would last for over a year
this isn't for sensitive skin however because it has certain ingredients that could cause breakouts but overall a great product and it will last *forever*

I found this on Strawberrynet super-discounted, so I thought I would give it a try after reading good reviews here.

I really love this stuff! As another reviewer indicated, it looks very bright in the tube, and first on skin, but after blending, it's quite lovely and has replaced my powder blushes. It's handy for taking with me, as no brush needed.

Recommended!

I was really surprised by this! I love it. It looks super bright, but once blended properly gives my fair skin a healthy glow. I also find it super moisturizing and smooth when used on my lips. The package is great and sturdy. The only thing is I am not crazy about the smell....

I love, love, love this!

It's a bright, rosy pink with no glitter and a great dewy sheen. This is truly a multi-use product and the only one that I can say I use equally on lips and cheeks. I am pale, but my natural blush is quite rosy like this and I have very pigmented lips. Because this is so easily dosed and blended due to the stick formula, I can just use less and it really compliments my skintone wonderfully.

Only con is that the staying power is not particularly great. It's not bad either, about 2-3 hours, which in my book is alright for a sheer creme formulated blush. If you use a top seal for the lips on top of this, it will last a long time, I have woken up with Bella-tinted lips several times due to the Lancome top seal gloss, but that's hardly the achievement of this product. So one lippie off for staying power.

PS: I realise there is a product review thread for the limited ed. Bella skin tint, but I feel like this has a slightly different formula so I am listing this for the non-limited ed. version.

it's a good cheektint but it doesn't look so natural. but i like it for my lips and the design is eye-catching. all my friends said it's cute lol. other girls might like it though. it's a good product but i won't be buying it again because benetint is definitely the best cheektints of all.

I am in love with this! It's so convenient and the color looks beautiful on my cheeks. Living in humid conditions, getting cheek color to stay put is often a challenge, but this tint works for me! The packaging is pretty and sturdy. Got it online for much much less than store price. I will buy again if I ever run out of it, but I wonder how long that'll be from now?

I used to stay away from gel and cream blushes because I had difficulty blending them in the past, but now i've been on this crazy blush buying craze and I'm so happy with this product. The color is an extremely BRIGHT pink, but it's very sheer and buildable. I gave it 4 lippies because it doesn't have much staying power :\ . I have to re-apply it about once or twice a day. Despite that particular flaw, I absolutely love it and would definitely buy it again.

Out of all of the tokidoki items...I feel that this one has the prettiest packaging...which makes me desperately want to keep this...However, this item seems to be the rare product that absolutely does not agree with my skin. Within minutes I can feel slight discomfort, and after a few more I get a couple of little bumps (when tested on inside of arm)...apparently there's something in this product that my skin is sensitive to. On my face, it merely itched...though i wonder if it's because I had on some lotion and primer under this that I didn't really get bumps...(I got a couple...which pretty much dissappeared after a day) It still got a 2 however, because the color of the product is beautiful and it isn't too hard to apply. I can't really comment on it's staying power...as I had to remove this due to irritation. Guess some things just aren't for everybody.

oooh I heart this product, I use it everyday! It looks scary pink, but it goes on a nice shade that pops, but doesn't look to artificial or anything. Also, its nice because you can control the intensity of color by just not swiping it too hard on your cheeks. :) I think the consistency is nice, not to greasy, blends very easily...it just gives you a pretty flush. Plus I'm an anti-chemical crazy lady and I don't remember freaking out when I looked at the ingredients...like I usually do with Smashbox products, but it was a long time ago so you may want to check first.

I LOVE this color! This is my HG cheek color. I love to wear it on my lips too. I'm a PPP and it gives my skin a baby's cheek glow when I use it. The packaging is really cute. The only thing that I wish was different is if they came out with this in a smaller size for a smaller price. There seriously is a TON of product in this tube. You'll never use it all up even if you wear it everyday.

I bought this because my little sister insisted that I do. It’s a bit scary looking in the tube, but when used with a light hand it gives an angelic look. Goes nicely with my ultra pale skin and dark hair and eyes. I know this is LE, which makes repurchasing a bit hard, but considering the amount in the tube I’ll never need to. Price is very steep in Canada, almost $40. But now they are going on Ebay for about $10-$15 .

I was very pleasantly surprised by this product! Honestly, I had initially bought it to round off my tokidoki for Smashbox collection (I know, terrible!), and when I got it in the mail I was astounded by how large it was and how adorable it was! When I put it on, the formula was very creamy but not oily, and the hot pink color added an energetic pop to my cheeks. It's very light and I was excited to find that it has great staying power! I would definitely buy again if I ever ran out, but the stick is so big I can't imagine ever coming to that! All in all, great product.

i love this! the packagaing is so cute, that was mostly why i bought it, but the product is great too. it is a perfect spring pink, bright but not too bright, and it really livens up pale winter skin for the coming season. i love that it doesn't have any shimmer, a lot of the stick type blushes/ tints have shimmer; this one looks so natural. it blends well and gives you a really nice glow, like you have caught your first sun rays of the season. i can also see this working with a bronzer to give your cheeks that extra pop. nice!

I'm so torn with this product.....the packaging is to die for, which is what suckered me in to buying yet *another* blush. The product is portable (plus) but the color is neither here no there. I have very light, dry skin, and the finish came across as bright and also a little blotchy. My particular tube was not creamy at all, as others described. I just can't imagine my skin naturally flushing coral-pink so I think it's a little too surreal for me. For the lips, I find that it's very dry and cakey as well. If I super blend my cheeks, apply lip balm both under AND over the product, it kind of sort of looks good. But who wants so much work? I am returning it to Sephora :-(

I just had to cave in and buy the Tokidoki Skin Tint. It's LE, part of the Tokidoki collection.
The packaging is really cute with Tokidoki print on it. Though the packaging is smaller than other blushes in similar packages I've tried. But I figure a little goes a long way so this will last quite some time.


On my PPP skin the color (Bella) shows up as a cool watermelon soft pink color. Gives me just the right pop of color I need for an everyday neutral makeup look. It looks bright in the tube but it's definitely not bright on the cheeks, very subtle and neutral.

I have not tried the product on my lips, I don't see how the texture would be good as a lip tint. Too dry for the lips I'm afraid. But it's great for the cheeks, that's what I intend to use it for.
The tube is easy to bring with you, the blush is easy to apply... I just dot the stick on the cheeks and blend with the fingertips. The product is not messy in any way. Great product for when you are on the go.
Although I wouldn't repurchase. Why?! Because I have a ton of blushes already and after all, the Tokidoki Skin Tint is not that unique compared to all my other cream blushes.

Gorgeous color. At first i was on the fence about this. ITs got a creamier thicker texture than the original gel tints. Its a bright pink with coral undertones. But when i put this on it isnt too cool for my nc30 light olive complexion. Gives me a nice pop of color. I was having a problem with this fading so i have to wear a powder blush over the top. Paired this with MAC smile blush and the duo is perfection! love the two together and love this product. COmes in a cute tokidoki print and retails for $28. a little goes a long way so it will last quite a while.

On my cool/neutral PPP complexion, Bella skin tint looks like a cool watermelon pink. It's very bright in the tube, but by patting the top of the stick with my fingers and then applying to my cheeks, I get a subtle pink flush. It's extremely creamy and easy to blend, and you get a ton of product. I haven't used this on my lips, but imagine it would be very pretty as a lip tint as well. It's packaged like all of Smashbox's skin tints, in a twist-up tube, but of course this shade features the adorable Tokidoki designs on the packaging. Even without the graphics, Bella is definitely worth getting for the beautiful color and ease of use. I would repurchase, but it's LE.

LE item from the Tokidoki collection (Christmas 2006).


Product - Bella is a bright, warm pink shade - pink with hints of coral and apricot to it; great with my AAB/NC25 coloring. Seems to have a creamier, more opaque formulation than other Skin Tints... but it's still light, blendable, buildable, and long-wearing even on my oily cheeks. Good on lips too, for coordinated look; maybe even better than the regular Skin Tints on lips due to the creaminess and opacity. I dot this on my cheeks/lips or swipe it on, then blend with my fingertips or a foundation brush. Doesn't stain fingertips. Applies nicely, very smooth, not sticky.


Comparisons - Similar to BB Apricot powder blush but deeper; similar but pinker than BB Calypso Coral Pot Rouge and Cat Cosmetics Beach Cheeks cream blush.


Packaging - Comes in fat lipstick tube packaging like the other Skin Tints, but the lid is white and both the lid and base have the LE Tokidoki graphics; very sturdy and portable, with tons of product.


Overall - Definitely worth the $$.
