Very recently brought this product having received a free tester in a magazine. This product has turned into one of my every-day essential items to have - I absolutely adore it! I am naturally very pale skinned and struggle when it comes to sucessfully applying colour to my face. In photographs I often look washed out and bright-white, but in the past where I have attempted to add colour, it has always ended up far too dark or un-natural looking. I use this on both my cheeks and lips to give a fantastic pop of colour and it instantly makes me look (and therefore feel) better. I hate using lipstick because I have always thought it to be messy and inpractical; it always rubs off to quick and I feel like I should be constantly checking my face in mirrors when I have lipstick on. With POSIETINT it is the exact opposite - I apply a small brushstroke to the lower lip and rub it in as if it were lip balm - the colour instantly soaks into my natural lip colour to give my lips a lovely NATURAL enchanced colour! I often then apply lip blam on top of this if I want a glossy finish. In regards to my cheeks, I apply on top of my foundation and it rubs in beautifully, blending in well and leaving a subtle pink glow. I don't have to use much each day to achieve this effect - so I would assume the bottle will last me for ages. Also I have NO need to reapply on cheeks or lips throughout the day - the staying power is incredible. It has absolutely become one of my top three makeup favourites and a staple item in my makeup bag! THANK YOU BENEFIT :)

Genuinely LOVE this product! Just finished dying my hair in the last half an hour. I needed to refresh the colour of my hair (I had some awful grown-out brassy looking highlights with almost an inch and half of root showing - so I was a little worried about what the outcome would bring!) I purchased the product in MEDIUM CHAMPAGNE BLONDE which is lighter than my natural hair colour and darker than my blonde highlights - so I was hoping for the dye to even the colour out and give my hair its life back with a new tone and hopefully top it off with a lovely glossy finish, which was exactly what I received! The application was very easy (often I get a friend or family member to help out - wheras this time I just applied the product alone). The product did not drip and went onto my hair easily. There was a distinct smell - like the other reviews mention - however I did not find it repulsive or over powering in the slightest, I have purchased hair dye that smells a lot lot worse believe me! I would describe the smell to be a little like Cider. I did not experience any discomfort in the 25 minutes that I left the product on my hair and the product washed out with ease. The finished hair colour was (and this surprised me too) an EXACT match to the colour sample on the top of the box. Now I have used hair dye many times and every single time in the past it has resulted in a MUCH much darker colour than what is advertised, so naturally I am ECSTATIC with the outcome! Could not be happier! And what makes it better is that the colour appears completely natural on me and it has left me with soft and very light feeling hair! I ABSOLUTLY will be recommending this brand of hair dye! And Nice and Easy Colour Blend Foam will be my first choice next time I use home dye!
