I’m not a heavy makeup type of gal- most days I just go au natural. On the rare occasion I do wear makeup, I definitely like to keep it light, especially during the day. My go-to makeup item right now is my Benefit Benebalm. I’m just obsessed with this lip balm and the natural rosy tint it gives my lips!
What It Is:
A hydrating, tinted, fruity lip balm that conditions lips.
The Lowdown:
- glides on smooth
- buildable color (you can have a light sheer look or a pop of color depending on your mood)
- gives you soft, sexy lips
- lasts a longtime and fades into a tint
- about 18 USD
What’s In It:
- mango butter (hydrates)
- sodium hyaluronate (moisturizes)
I was a big fan of benetint (the lip & cheek stain) back in the day, but I would always have to apply a hydrating lip balm over it because it would dry out my lips. It was also a hassle to apply in public, so this is THE PERFECT solution. I love the Benebalm, which is the rosy shade, but it also comes in three other shades (poppy pink, sheer mango & candy orchid). I might be picking up another shade real soon!
If you like your makeup simple and light, this is perfect for you. You don’t have to worry about it fading out or reapplying frequently. It’s very low maintenance, yet it manages to brighten up your face and give you that fresh-faced look we all love so much. After all, who wants to look haggard? Not moi!
