Lip stains are having a real moment right now – from long lasting lip liner looks to kiss-proof tints that last all day. But when you think of the OG lip tint you can only think of Benefit.
The brand's original, flagship product back in 1976, Benefit Benetint is a classic for a reason, with one sold every 11 seconds and three million sold in 2024 alone.
And now, social media's favourite lip and cheek stain is officially available in two brand new shades: Dark Cherry and Raspberry, and like the original, they're set to bring that perfect, natural-looking flush of colour that lasts.
Sheer and non-drying, the versatile tint easily swipes onto the lips to deliver a gorgeous flush of colour that lasts all day long – whether you opt for original Rose, juicy raspberry or sultry Dark Cherry. shop £22.50
Bouncing from viral moment to viral moment, Benefit's Benetint is the perfect purse-friendly beauty essential for achieving naturally flushed, pinched cheeks and lips with just a few dots.
Sheer and non-drying, the versatile tint easily swipes onto the lips to deliver a gorgeous flush of colour that lasts all day long – whether you opt for original Rose, juicy Raspberry or sultry Dark Cherry.
Totally transfer-proof and smudge-proof, the buildable formula leaves a sweet tint on the lips that can be intensified to your perfect hue with additional layers, helping you keep that perfect pout all day long without the need for lippy top-ups.
And its not just for the lips, either. By popping a few dots of Benetint onto the cheeks and quickly blending out with your fingers, you'll have a stunning, just-pinched flush of blush that lasts all day, ideal for those minimal makeup looks.
For the classic Benetint look, original Rose is the shade you'll want to opt for. Boasting a hearty, rosy pink hue, this shade is the brand's best-selling stain for good reason, leaving a universally stunning flush you're sure to love.
After something a pinker? New Raspberry is a juicy dark magenta hue that's gorgeous on both the lips and the cheeks, perfect for an eye-catching look.
And if you've been loving the cherry-toned looks taking the beauty world by storm then you'll love new Dark Cherry and its deep berry tones that'll look stunning on any skin tone.
Shoppers, unsurprisingly, can't stop raving about how much they love Benetint, calling it the 'perfect' lip product and raving of its easy-to-use formula.
'I absolutely love this tint,' raved one five-star reviewer. 'It smells wonderful and you can blend it to your preference. Very good pigment. Looks great on lips and cheeks. Definitely would buy this when I run out.'
Want to give back when you wax?
Benefit's Bold is Beautiful campaign is back, which means throughout May, £5 from every brow wax booked at Benefit directly supports the brand's longstanding charity partners: Refuge, Look Good Feel Better and Daisyhouse.
Benefit has collaborated with leading retain partners – Boots, John Lewis, M&S, Sephora and Selfridges to donate £5 from every brow wax booked in May – and you don't have to do a single thing.
Better still, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Bold is Beautiful, Benefit is treating those who book a brow wax to a free eye mask and complimentary lip and chin waxes, too. (While supplies last)
Since 2015, Benefit has raised enough funds to keep a refuge open for up to 3.5 years and host confidence-boosting makeup and skincare workshops for over 18,000 women. Globally, they've raised over $26.6 million, with nearly £2 million dedicated to supporting women and children in the UK and Ireland.
So what are you waiting for? Book your eyebrow wax and give back today.
Another added: 'I got the colour shade Raspberry and it's amazing. The texture is more like water and light. It is easy to apply with the brush. It gives a nice colour to the lips without drying or making it oily.' More Trending
'This shade is so beautiful, and I feel so confident with it on. It is extremely easy to apply, as the lip tint itself has a very watery consistency. The packaging is so cute and compact, and I love how much product there is.' Wrote a third.

New Look's £13 Ribbed Tank Top is the affordable alternative to Maebe's version
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more A tank top is an essential wardrobe staple, so it's not surprising the Contour Popper Top from Molly Mae's fashion brand Maebe has sold out due to popular demand. We searched high and low to find a similar alternative that is in stock, and more affordable, which is when we stumbled across New Look's White Rib Button Through Tank Top. New Look's elevated take on the humble tank top retails for £12.99, whereas the Maebe design fetches £50, which is quite steep if you ask us. Crafted from a cotton and elastane blend, this tank top provides enough stretch to hug the body boasts a slash neckline, button front fastening and slip front detail at the lower hem of the design. Available in 10 colours, but stock is selling fast. BUY NOW FOR £12.99 The New Look Button Through Tank Top boasts a slash neckline, while the Maebe version is a tight round neck. The high street number has been crafted from a cotton and elastane blend, which provides just enough stretch to hug the body in the right places without sagging or causing discomfort. Believe me, I have worn it for weeks and it's buttery soft, lightweight and breathable – even to wear abroad and travel in. While the Maebe alternative has been crafted from a semi-brushed knitted jersey fabric. More Trending The New Look tank features ribbed detailing, and button front fastening, whereas Maebe's fastening uses snap buttons instead. What I love about the New Look Tank Top is it is comfortable to wear, stylish, but also versatile. You can unfasten a few buttons at the top of the neck, or lower down to create a flare silhouette and hourglass fit. Alternatively you can wear fully buttoned up. The sleeveless tank top can be paired with jeans, culottes, a mini or midi skirt, even an A-line skirt to accentuate the flare creation on the bottom half. However, what we love best is New Look's top is available in 10 colours, including white, black, light blue, brown, navy, green, pink, red, orange and yellow. Plus, the price tag is much more purse friendly, as New Look's Tank Top retails for £12.99, and the Maebe tank fetches £50, which is a hefty saving of £37.01.

After a bad breakup two years ago, my boyfriend and I are trying again
Welcome to How I Do It, the series in which we give you a seven-day sneak peek into the sex life of a stranger. This week we hear from Olivia*, a 33-year-old marketing manager in London, who has sex about four times a week. She's back with her ex, Patrick*, who she split up with two years ago. The pair hadn't spoken since, until a chance meeting brought them back together. 'We split because we didn't properly communicate and ended up having resentment towards each other,' Olivia says. 'I was struggling with my mental health which I now know is premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and I put a lot of pressure on him to be there for me.' After bumping into each other on the overground, Patrick texted Olivia later that evening and suggested dinner. They met up the very next day and decided to give their relationship another go. 'The last thing I want is a situationship with my ex, so we had a big discussion about what we want from each other and how to make it work this time around,' she adds. While they're in they're back in the honeymoon phase, it hasn't been without some minor hiccups — but they know that, this time, they want to be together for good. Without further ado, here's how Olivia got on this week… The following sex diary is, as you might imagine, not safe for work . Love reading juicy stories like this? Need some tips for how to spice things up in the bedroom? Sign up to The Hook-Up and we'll slide into your inbox every week with all the latest sex and dating stories from Metro. We can't wait for you to join us! I spent the night at Patrick's yesterday. We start off the day with a lie in and wake up for morning sex. I've accidentally bled a bit, so we strip the sheets and pop them in the wash. I notice an old blood stain on his mattress – which definitely wasn't there the last time we dated. For a second I get an icky feeling in my stomach thinking of him with another girl… and then remember we were broken up for two years, and force myself to quickly move on. I know that Patrick noticed me notice the blood stain and was about to say something about it when I changed the topic. We both (usually) work from home so I set up at his dining table and he works from his desk. I'm in the middle of a Zoom meeting when Patrick crawls under the dining table and starts to go down on me – we used to do this all the time, and I'm quickly reminded of why I loved it so much. Thankfully I've done all the talking I need to do so I'm muted. I'm trying my best to not let it show on my face, but have to quickly turn off my camera. We end up having a quickie on the couch and I jump back on my Zoom call to say goodbye to everyone, pretending as if I haven't just come while they brainstormed the next campaign. I have a late start to the work day since my boss is in Brazil and Patrick's clients are in town, which means he has a full night of schmoozing ahead of him. When we wake up, we haven't even spoken a word to each other when I feel Patrick's hand on my thigh. We make the most of our altered work day with a few rounds of sex and an hour of pillow talk. We say how much we've missed one another, laugh about inside jokes from when we were first together, and catch up with what we've missed out on when we were broken up. We're both going to therapy now and feel like we're in a better place where we can show up for each other, as well as ourselves. The sex is great, but the emotional intimacy is what I've missed most about our relationship. I feel smitten all over again. I wake up in a great mood today. Work has been going great and waking up to Patrick every day wasn't on my bingo card this year – it's been a wonderful surprise. We're planning an upcoming campaign shoot in Amsterdam which means I get to be creative and deal with the little logistics – I credit the Virgo in me for genuinely getting excited about this. I follow Patrick into the shower and dare I say it – it may have been the best sex we've ever had. He turns me around and pushes me up against the wall. I usually hate his mirrored shower, but this time I can't stop watching him while he f**ks me. I'm not usually one for shower sex (is anyone really?) but this time around feels different. I could definitely get used to this. I go into the office today and am quickly sent home after two panic attacks. I'm PMSing this week and I realise that I haven't kept up with my antidepressants, a rookie mistake that I've unfortunately made more times than I would have liked. I call Patrick when I leave the office and he tells me to go back to his. My mental health had been a bit of a sensitive topic the last time we were together, so I'm glad he's being supportive this time around. With my PMDD I went through extreme highs and lows, which was confusing for us both. And during my low points, I couldn't regulate my emotions – I'd often just burst into tears out of nowhere or lash out. Patrick didn't know how to be there for me, and I didn't know what I needed. It was frustrating for both of us to go through the same issue every month. He's on a call when I get back to his so I take my antidepressant, grab the dog, and head to bed for a midday nap. I'm feeling like myself again when I wake up so I put in a few hours of work and then give Patrick a blowjob as my way of saying thank you. I order in some Chinese for us, and we're quickly rolling around in bed – Patrick is going down on me and I'm just about to finish – before we are interrupted by the Deliveroo driver. At this point I couldn't care less about the food. I just want to finish off what we started, but this time I'll have to wait. I've now spent every day this week at Patrick's place and, aside from taking the dog for a walk, have barely left the flat. We've spent the past five evenings catching up, ordering in and having the most incredible sex ever. Today I'm woken up with a massage and a new set of matching lingerie – which doesn't stay on for very long. He gets a dozen roses delivered to me at lunch time and makes us dinner reservations at a fancy restaurant in Shoreditch… Happy birthday. We go back to his after dinner and our clothes are off before we even make it to the bedroom. He leads me to the bed and I jump on top of him. I can tell he's going to finish right away so he flips me over and go into doggy. It's a perfect day until we head to bed at 1am and he gets a phone call from another woman while I'm getting unready. I obviously try my best to eavesdrop, but I remind myself not to jump to conclusions. 'I can't talk right now.' I'm trying my best not to let my triggers get the best of me. Before I can finish brushing my teeth, Patrick runs to the bathroom to tell me it was his old neighbour – he hasn't spoken to her in years and has no idea why she's calling. I have trust issues from past relationships and try my best not to let it trigger me. Patrick has never given me a reason to doubt him, but after so much time apart, I'm not sure who this woman is or if they've ever had a relationship. He tells me they barely know one another and shows me their texts – the last time they spoke was a few years ago. I'm not really sure what to believe or what to say and I am definitely not in the mood to talk about it. Regardless of the reason behind her call, my birthday is officially ruined. Patrick shows me the text he's sent to his neighbour. He tells her he has a girlfriend and that her calling is uncalled for, even though they've never been intimate with each other. He asks her to please stop contacting him. I'm glad he's sent this message but there's still a lot to discuss. I realise now might be the perfect time to address everything we never got around to when we decided to get back together. Communication was never our strong suit, so even though this was not the way I wanted to wake up the morning after my birthday, I'm thankful we're actually communicating and not falling into old habits. We have makeup sex and I feel good about our conversation. He reassures me there's nothing to be worried about. He's not seeing anyone else and hasn't been dating for the past few months. We both tell each other how happy the other makes us and promise to have grown up conversations this time around, so we can avoid the same arguments we had before. It's finally time for me to go home. I meet a friend for dinner and a late-night screening at the cinema. I feel quite proud of myself for saving my pennies by sneaking in a few drinks, until the couple next to me whips out a container of hot popcorn they've brought from home – now that's impressive. Patrick and I go for a Sunday Roast and a long walk around Victoria Park before we head back to his to watch a movie. For once we actually get through the film without jumping on one another. More Trending This is the first time we've been together without having sex. I don't like that this has happened after our fight the other night, but I'm trying not to overthink. He pulls me closer and grabs my hand – without saying anything he's given me all the reassurance that I need, and I know I've made the right choice. View More » My friends and family can tell how happy I am with Patrick back in my life. He's also been putting in much more effort and properly getting to know them, which definitely helps. I know it's early days, but it feels different this time. Do you have a story to share?
