ModelCo Cheek + Lips Tint

ModelCo Cheek + Lips Tint* / $24

* I wasn't sent this product, but I did want to include that I received this in a Glossybox!

Real talk: I've never reviewed just one single product from a beauty box before. I've also never used a cheek tint before. When I received this in my Glossybox, however, I was kind of over-joyed. Just because I'd never really looked into tints and stains, doesn't mean I wasn't interested. To be honest, I think I was a bit intimidated by the whole tint thing. Rubbing liquid color into your face? Yeah, that's a recipe for disaster (for me).



Well, of course I was wrong. I actually really like this little tube of blush, and even if it takes me a while, I'm determined to get the application down. First things first, this stuff is super dark when it comes out, but when applied looks really similar to a real flush. I don't think I've ever used anything that's looked so natural and subtle before. I'm really into it. I basically popped some onto my finger and rubbed it into my face — voila! I love that it goes on really light but can be built up to whatever you're feeling. The color really does mimic that of a real cold-weather flush but I think this would be gorgeous atop a little tan too. The light weight/easy to apply nature of this stuff makes it absolutely perfect for the warmer days. It doesn't even feel like you're wearing blush. Plus, it's got a nice light fruity scent which is actually kind of nice.

Overall I think this stuff is really really great. I could definitely see myself repurchasing once I've used up this pretty pink tube, but until then... I'll just keep enjoying it. What do you guys think of cheek tints? Do you have any favorites I should check out?
