In my personal opinion don't waste 21 pounds (my pound sign ain't working) on a pot of blusher, I always find you can get products that are just as good for cheaper like Rimmel for example...but according to my mate who buys everything from there she reckons they're ace but I think she's just attracted to the way its marketed in those pretty boxes and things.

The majority of what you're paying for is packaging. I'm not sure about benetint in particular but the products in general are average at best. Go for a company that doesn't spend more time and money on the boxes than the products and you can get something exceptional for that amount of money.

benetint is i have had my little pot since i took my gcse's (final year phil major now), and worn it at least once a week. it is only a third full now, but it is still smelling like roses (literally).

i have some doctor feelgood too, which is amazing at getting rid of shine, lasted me about a year for a pot? i feel thats fair enough as i tended to wear it as foundation.

my mom just got me the benetint lipbalm which seems to be lasting...although my friend tom told me ive been looking very snow white recently, and i fear it could be the result of me continually wearing it...

I've used Benefit for the last two years and never run any of the products out, even the stuff I use every day. I really do think they're worth the money, no matter how much of the cost is the packaging. Their stuff works fantastically on me and it'd take a lot to make me switch brands now.

I have Lemon Aid, it's good but not terrific. There are products that are waaay less expensive and do the same job.

Dr Feelgood is, in my opinion, absolute shite. Too pricey AND greasy, definitely not worth the money.

I agree about Dr Feelgood
I'm always reading about it being a miracle product but I swear I just don't get it, it made me super greasy whether I wore it alone or over make up, pants!

Clarins have just brought out a similar under-make up base to Dr. Feelgood that smooths skins and hides pores etc. It's fantastic. I agree that Dr. Feelgood is too greasy.

Dandelion is a nice powder for brightening up your complexion.

I think it's more about the packaging than anything else. The only thing i really like is the Dandelion powder. Benetint and High Beam are OK but i have found much cheaper versions that are just as good.

i picked up the benetint pocketpal today since the juicycube i wanted was sold out.
it smells lovely but is a little too pale i thought. i wish it stained a little darker. but i guess since it was originally formulated to make strippers nipples more pink it is doing an ok job of it

Some Benefit products can be pretty awesome... Benetint is a definite, as with the Benetint balm, and I love their Bad Gal Lash mascara too.

I like Benefit (especially the Benetint), but they're certainly not the best. Honestly, I think they're overrated.

The packaging is pretty though!!
