love this product

The benefit cha cha tint is in my book a must have for any women.
This tint comes in a container similar to a nail polish with a brush just the same as s nail polish. When removing from the container it is a bright thick creamy pink lotion that looks exactly like a nail polish. The best way for me to apply it is either on my fingers or a few dots on ny cheek bones and I always use my fingers to blend and achieve the right glow/coverage. For me I find I start with a very small amount blend and then apply If I need more. I find this is the best way otherwise if you put too much on it ends up.very pink and you look like you've got too much on.
The container of the product looks small bit dont be fooled, there is a lot in it so it will last forever.

I love the color of this tint, the best way to explain it, is a gorgeous mango pinky tone. I think this color blends well with each skin tone, complementing all types. For me it applies a beautiful pink and leaves me with s fresh glow. I love this product because you can wear it as a day blush, or dress it up for night time. It's great because it is build-able, and so wearable. I always get compliments and it works well with a great bronzer too. You can apply it to your lips too and it matches your blush- it can dry.out your skin so maybe a little serum on the lips first to protect them. The cha cha tint lasts all day and has a great staying pigment!
I just love it as it leaves me with a fresh radiant look

Great for summer!

I love this! It is a regular in my make up routine.
My advise is to work quickly as it is quick to dry. I apply it to a clean finger first and then bend onto my cheek. I find this helps prevents stains from where you initially first placed the product and is a more hygienic way.
The colour is a lovely peach colour which suits both cheeks and lips giving them a natural flush. On the lips however it can be very drying , highlighting cracks and dry skin so be careful.

My go-to cheek colour

This is my favourite of the benefit tints. I like that it is creamier than benetint, which means it doesn't dry as quickly, and is easier to blend. The colour looks a ghastly neon colour in the bottle, but on the skin, it turns into a lovley peachy pink hue. Highly recommend this!

I adore this product. When the girl suggested I try it at the Benefit counter, the bright orange nailpolish looking liquid scared the heck out of me. But once applied, I changed my mind. I get lots of compliments when I wear it on my cheeks and it's great for lips as well.

great for a natural tint

this colour is great in summer when you want to brighten up yor face while keeping your look quite natural. this tok a bit of practice for me to get used to applying s you need to start blending straight away or you will end up with streaks. but once you get used to it the effect is wonderful.

Brightens up my day!

I already am a proud owner of Posie tint and benetint. I find them all complement each other wonderfully i a make up kit - if one doesnt go with an outfit or look, another one will!

I recieved this through Beautorium (thanks BH!) and I love it - it's a permanent fixture in my make up bag and I warn Benefit that I will throw a tantrum if they ever discontinue it!

The bottle is a really generous size and beautifully presented with graphics that never wear off. It has a nailpolish brush applicator that makes it easy to follow the instructions in the box which is to dot along the cheekbone or lips and blend with fingertips. Always start with a little less and build it up if you feel the need. What I love about this color is how well it can match either a dewey daytime look or a matte sultry look. It's a really bright and fresh mango tint that really manages to lift my mood when I need it to.

It wears very well all day with only minimal fade (I wear the tints mainly as blush) on the lips they can be a little drying (as all tints are) so apply sparingly and cover with plenty of balm or gloss.

Perfectly purse sized with no fear of the lid coming loose.
Due to the small amount you use the bottle is wonderful value for money!

The perfect matchup with coral or pink lips on a bright sunny day :) Love it!

Lovely!

I won this from BH and its pretty awesome. Upon opening the bottle I cringed a little, peachy-orangey colours are not something I would usually wear! But I gave it a go as a lip stain and I am quite impressed. On my lips it seemed to lose the orange tinge an look quite good, although it has a tendency to be a bit dry. The colour lasted really well (all day) and I imagine the bottle will last forever because you don't need much at all!

Great for a natural look

I was sent this product from the fantastic team at BH and I think it's great! I tried it on my cheeks which I found was a little too bright (perhaps I used too much???) but on my lips it gave such a natural tint which lasted hours!
The only thing I noticed through was that it seemed to dry my lips out a bit but using a balm over the top fixed it

Benefit Cha Cha Cha

Do not be put off by the colour in the bottle – this cheek and lip stain give you a shimmery peach natural flush of colour to your cheeks and lips and gives them a lovely glow. I apply by either putting 3 “cats whiskers” on my cheeks and blending with my fingers or I sometimes paint the end of my slanted blush brush with the product and apply to my cheeks as I would a powdered blush. Cha Cha Cha applies natural, has fantastic staying power and looks fresh and natural even after a long shift at work. Love it!

Benefit Cha Cha Tint

Cha Cha Tint is the newest addition to the 'tint' range and because I am a fan of Posietint and apricot toned blushes I couldn't wait to try it. Disappointedly the colour is too bright and looks artificial on my skin. After a few occasions of unsuccessful blending I decided that it is not for me. Each time I incorporate it in to my makeup routine, my skins looked tired and sallow. This mango/coral shaded bottle is not the actual colour of the tint inside but it gives a fairly good indication what to expect - a bright coral/pink tone with a buildable coverage. If you would like a bright peachy glow then Cha Cha Tint is for you. Be mindful and handle the glass bottle with care.
TIP: Practice makes perfect. Apply the brush to the apples of your cheeks and dab on the desired amount. Gently buff into the skin with your ring fingers. For lips apply the brush directly on the the bottom lip, rub lips together and correct with the tip of the brush once the excess has been removed.

Cha Cha Tint

I bought this to use in summer as I tend to favour peach colours when I have a bit of a tan happening. I find it's thicker then the original Benetint so it needs to be worked into your skin really quickly. The colour is a beautiful peach/coral and looks quite natural.

Glosscars nomination - chacha time!

Product: In my opinion the perfect mango tinted lip and cheek stain that provides your lips and cheeks the cheekiest peach bitten effect. It has the same feel and formula as Posietint which is neither nor creamy or milky. The texture feels more like a gel texture which dries quite dewy.
Pigmentation: The colour when first swatched is very orange/peach and once it has settled on the skin it becomes a true peach colour. There is no pink hue in this tint which is perfect for those girls who love a healthy bronze glow. The pigmentation is quite light but it is definitely build-able as a little goes a long way
Longevity: The chacha tint lasts for an incredible amount of time (12 + hours). I work full hours a day and even after work, dinner and some drinks I would come home to perfectly dewy peach stained cheeks. The colour also doesn’t oxidize on my skin and does not appear streaky either.
Application: The beautiful thing about Benefit’s Cha Cha Tint formula is that there is just enough to blend it out without having to worry about waiting for it to dry. It works well over or under the foundation as well as on bare skin. Also, when worn as a lip tint it becomes more of a peach colour with pink undertones as my lips are naturally pink. This is great as everyone’s lip colour is different and different people using the cha cha tint will experience a different colour!
Packaging: The bottle is a beautiful metallic amber colour with cute designs on the front and the Labl “Cha – Cha” is embossed right in the center. This product has surely made my summer a memorable one as I have received loads of compliments when I have been wearing the Cha Cha tint

Must Have Product.

SCRAP YOUR BRONZER; ILLUMINATOR & OTHER TINTERS. This is the holy grail of all illuminator, bronzing and tint products. Its got this really good consistency, so it doesn't change the look you had last time, the only different is how much you put, for a thicker look of course you would put more, but for a nude type complexion you use only a little bit. That mango colour covers any blotches and blemishes and it has a really dewy finish not liquid or matte, so it really works well. It blends really well and could be a alternative to bronzer.

Cha Cha gorgeous!

Benefit describes this as a "juicy mango" colour, but to me this is a coral with a hint of pink - perfect for summer! Cha Cha Tint comes in a similar packaging to Benetint and Posietint. It comes in the same box with a feminine, cheeky vibe, and also comes in the same bottle with a brush that looks like a nail polish brush attached to the lid.

When I first saw the tint, I was scared of the neon coral colour of it. However, once it's blended, it actually sheers out to a very beautiful, wearable coral. I'm starting to think this might just be my favourite coral blush of the season!

The texture is like a thick liquid. It's not runny and watery, but it's not stiff enough to be a gel. It actually reminds me of full-fat canned coconut milk. Creamy! It has a very light sweet scent that is not noticeable once it's applied. When applied on the lips it has no noticeable flavor besides that slight bitter aftertaste that is common with lip and cheek stains.

The wear time is excellent. On cheeks it lasts until you remove it. It doesn't run if you sweat and it doesn't seem to fade. On lips it lasts through everything except eating. It doesn't transfer onto your coffee mug and it doesn't smear, but it doesn't seem to be able to survive lunch without starting to fade onto my sandwich.

There are a few ways to apply these types of liquid stains. You can swipe the brush directly onto your cheeks (or lips) and blend with your fingertips, a sponge or a foundation brush, or you can use your fingertips to gently dab it onto your cheek area and blend it that way. I find it easiest to apply on bare moisturized skin or over tinted moisturizer.

One thing I really like about Cha Cha Tint is that your skin feels really silky and smooth wherever you've applied it. I don't know what it is about the formula, but it makes my skin feel perfect! I'm absolutely loving it right now, and if you're looking for a gorgeous coral tint, this is absolutely for you! Perhaps the only drawback to using such a tint is that your fingers get tinted coral as well, after you've blended it on your lips and cheeks! So makes sure to wash your hands right after use!

Glosscars 2012 - Cha Cha with me!

* Resubmitted for Glosscars 2012

Cha Cha Tint is the new sister to Benefit's Lip & Cheek Stain Family -the others being Benetint and Posietint. I have been a fan of the latter for a number of years now, and when Cha Cha Tint was released recently, I was quite excited!
Cha Cha Tint is housed in the classic Benefit vintage-esque bottles, with a screw tight cap, glass bottle and a 'nail enamel' style brush.
The lip and cheek stain itself is an opaque, milky peach-mango colour, with a fluid, light texture (quite similar to Posietint). It is more viscous than the original Benetint, and I have found the product less likely to drip or run. Due to the sheer, natural colour that Cha Cha provides, it would be suitable for warm, cool or neutral skintones.
The beauty of the product is indelible stain that it provides to the lips and cheeks. After application to the cheeks or lips, a quick blend of the product with my fingers leaves a healthy, peach flush that screams 'this is my natural glow!'. It's waterproof, eating-and-drinking-proof, sweat-proof and it won't rub off on your (or your other half's) collar. It is easily removable with a basic makeup remover or facial cleanser.
For application, I ensure that I have already primed, and applied a liquid foundation. Don't apply any powder or use a powder foundation. The tint will tend to 'grab' any traces of powder, plus it blends much more easily with a liquid base.
I apply 3 or 4 dots to my cheeks and directly blend up towards the cheekbones and temples. It is a fast drying product, so ensure you work quickly. Less is more with this product...overapply it and you will have plenty of trouble removing it! I sometimes apply a sheer setting powder over the top if I am after a matte look.
For the lips, apply directly and blend with fingers. It can leave the lips feel a touch dry due to the matte, non-moisturising finish. That's why I'll then apply a clear gloss, or a nude shimmer gloss for extra 'oomph'.
Cha Cha Tint comes in a generously sized bottle, and with the minimal amount required for each application, you will struggle to use it up within a year. Despite the premium pricing, I am very impressed with the product's formula, performance, colour payoff and ease of use. Try it, and don't be surprised if you do a dance down the street. Or a maybe a Cha Cha.

Glosscar-worthy

I've been meaning to get around to reviewing Cha Cha Tint for a while, but I'm glad I waited until now so that it can be in the running for a Glosscar. Yep, it's that good!

First things first, it may seem expensive ($53) for what looks like a small bottle, but it lasts forever. I've had mine for four or more months now and it's still going strong. I only need the slightest dab of it to give my face a nice glow across the cheekbones. If anything, you have to be careful not to use too much of this tint otherwise it could end up looking too bright. Also, don't leave it too long before blending as it dries pretty quickly and you may end up with a tint on your cheeks in the shape of dots!

The colour is quite orange (or mango) in the bottle but it certainly doesn't turn out to be too orange-y once it's applied to the skin. I've never been a fan of blushes that are too pink (I'm quite fair) so this is just perfect for me.

You can also use it as a lip tint but I found the colour too subtle for that. Once I applied it to my lips I couldn't see any colour at all. That doesn't worry me though as I love it so much as a blusher.

I absolutely recommend this product and fully intend to get it again once I (eventually) run out of my current bottle. After using this, I can't see myself going back to a powder blusher for a long time.

Glosscars 2012 - Benefit Cha Cha Tint

This is my most favourite PEACHY ORANGE blush that’s unique and stands out from the usual pink blushes that we often see. It’s a beautiful VIBRANT MANGO TINT that’s PERFECT FOR SUMMER and adds a HEALTHY GLOW to the complexion. This VERSATILE 2-IN-1 blush and lip tint comes in a cute NAIL POLISH STYLE BOTTLE complete with the BRUSH APPLICATOR which makes application a breeze as it ensures only a small amount is applied. The simplest way to apply this tint is to either dab 3 or 4 dots or swipe a small amount of product onto the cheeks and QUICKLY BLEND away. There is no need for makeup brushes as your FINGERTIPS WORKS BEST in blending the tint evenly onto the cheeks. The finish is like a SECOND SKIN, neither powdery, sticky or cakey, which I think is the PERFECT FLUSH you want to achieve. Being a creamy tint, the product is MOISTERSING and LONG LASTING, and should you wish to touch up, you can do so without needing to worry that it will get cakey. If you wish to use this as a lip tint, I would recommend that you apply some lip balm or gloss for added moisturisation or shine. Furthermore, I recently learnt that this can also be used on the eyelids to add a sheer wash of colour and tie in the look. For summertime, Benefit’s Cha Cha Tint is definitely my pick for the best blush.

Perfect for Summer

Benefit Cha Cha Tint is the fun coral sister of Posetint. It has a thicker creamy/milky consistency in comparison to Benetint which is a lot more watery.

This is the perfect product for summer when you just want to keep things minimal and you want a product that will last throughout a hot summer’s day.

Although it looks a bit daunting and bright (orange) when you open the product, it is very subtle as the formula is sheer.

On the cheeks it adds such as pretty peach/coral flush to the skin. It wears all day on me (around 10 to 12 hours) To apply I use the same method as for Benetint using 3 to 4 small dots and patting it in and lightly blending it out with my fingers. You can build up the colour intensity if you want by simply going over and applying more using the same method

It can also be used on the lips and it adds a decent amount of colour to my lips. It wears well on the lips, being a stain – lasting around 7 hours.

I like applying this product over my foundation or bronzer and it makes for a complete look in less than 5 minutes.

I love this stuff and it’s pretty neat how this product is so versatile!

Gorgeous peachy orange flush

If you're looking for a gorgeous peachy orange 2-in-1 blush and lip tint, then look no further than Benefit's Cha Cha Tint. This cute nail polish like bottle contains a beautiful , unique and vibrant mango tint that is suitable for most complexions. It looks absolutely amazing for those with a slight tan and gives the perfect summer glow. These 2-in-1 or multi-purpose beauty products are becoming increasingly popular and this versatile tint makes for the perfect peachy orange blush as well as a pretty lip tint. Using this product is a breeze – using the brush applicator, simply apply 3 or 4 dots or swipe a small amount of product onto the cheeks or lips and quickly blend away with your fingertips. It is as simple as that. Alternatively, you can dab some product onto my fingertips and then blend it onto the cheeks or lips. This latter method prevents the product from drying too quickly and leaving a dotted stain on where the tint was initially applied. Keep in mind that if used on the lips, it can feel a little drying but this can be easily resolved with a quick application of lip balm or gloss, then you’re good to go!

Enchanting Cha Cha

I am a long-time Benetint lover, and recently treated myself to Chacha tint as a summer alternative.
Love! I was a little uncertain about the colour initially, but I looked at a few swatches in various blogs, and loved the colour on the skin.
It's very different to Benetint, much thicker, and I find I need to apply it differently Instead of applying to the cheek and blending, I apply it to my fingertip and then blend in, as it dried too quickly to work with otherwise.
It looks perfect, smooth and lights up my face. I wear IZ tinted daywear, cheek tint, and follow up with a little mineral powder, so have no foundation issues.
I love to blend Chacha with various Benefit powders such as Coralista for a different look, use it on my lips (although it's not terribly long lasting, and I don't dare tote it for touch ups) and just generally play with it. So much fun, so pretty, so awesome, and the bottle is so big it'll last forever!

This is the best new colour to add to the tints in the benefit world -what a great colour!

the mango sheen is perfect for warming up skin complexions.. i find that it is best to have a perfect base however, as the mango colour picks up any blotches or changes in complexion that i have...

i love the sheen on this, it looks dewy, a little shiny, but not shimmery -gives a great finish!

Love, love, love this tint! I'm a massive fan of the Benefit tints, but this colour is unique. I've been obsessed with orange lips all winter!
If you layer up the tint on your lips you get this fantastic punch of colour, which lasts ages! Just make sure you pop a lip balm over the top and that your lips aren't flaking before application as it may be a little drying.
On your cheeks it is a nice alternative to pinks and reds, which may look more natural on some skin tones.
