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.

Emma Louise Connolly's beachy necklace is from brand loved by Kate Middleton
One of the easiest ways to give your outfit a holiday-ready beachy upgrade is with some shell-inspired jewellery, and Emma Louise Connolly has found the perfect one to shop With summer holidays approaching and plenty of seasonal events to choose from, it can be easy to get overwhelmed with trying to shop for a new outfit for every occasion. That's why jewellery is the perfect way to give an old dress a new look, especially when that jewellery is fun, whimsical and perfectly on trend for the summer. This season it's all about nautical seashell-inspired pieces, and model Emma Louise Connolly has found the perfect one to add to her accessory collection. Hailing from Missoma – a brand loved by none other than Kate Middleton – her Spiral Gemstone Beaded Pendant Necklace is a great balance of fun and chic, and it's an easy way to style up even the most basic outfit. Priced at £135, the necklace features a string of lab grown clear crystal quartz beads with an 18ct recycled gold-plated shell-shaped pendant. Each crystal bead is also totally unique with varying sizes and shapes just as you'd get with sourced quartz, giving you a realistic look whilst still being ultra sustainable. To make it stand out, the beads are linked together with a thick red thread which adds a little pop of colour to the necklace. For even more of a statement look, the Shell Crystal Necklace Sienna from Wolf & Badger is £160 and features bold red beads with an oversized spiral shell pendant in gold. We also spotted this Beaded Pendant Necklace for £68 at Anthologie, which has a more classic look thanks to its pearl beads. You can also choose from green or yellow beads, with each colourway featuring a different shaped summer-inspired pendant including a seashell, a starfish and sun. Those on a tight budget can also get a similar look at ASOS with its orange and gold Short Necklace With Coloured Stones And Shell Pendant which is a mere £10. Meanwhile Not on the High Street offers this stunning Rose Quartz Gemstone Gingham Necklace With Heart And Fruit Charms which ticks off two accessory trends – fruit and shells – in one for £36. However Missoma's jewellery comes with a very royal seal of approval, with Princess Kate, owning several pairs of earrings from the brand. One of her most recognisable pairs is the Zenyu Fan Chandelier Hoop Earrings, £145, which she first wore during her 2019 tour of Pakistan. She was spotted re-wearing them again in 2021 at the Royal Variety Performance, proving just how versatile they are. However if you want to nail this summer's trends, Emma Lou's Spiral Gemstone Beaded Pendant Necklace is a must-buy.

River Island's wedges are an affordable alternative to these Gucci sandals
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 We would love nothing more than a wardrobe bursting at the seams with designer labels, and maybe one day, but in the meantime our closet is overflowing with affordable alternatives instead. From high street bags that resemble luxury brands, such as M&S and Mango, to PLT's premium looking dress, you don't have to spend a fortune to get the luxury look. Our latest obsession is River Island's Beige Monogram Flip Flop Wedge Sandals, which have a striking resemblance to the Gucci Platform Slide Sandal, but for £513 less. River Island's Flip Flop Wedge Sandals have been made from a soft fabric, which features the brand's logo on. The chunky wedge heel measures 5cm in height and provides just enough elevation. The slip-on design also boats an open toe, and flip flop/thong-style strap on the upper. Available in UK shoe sizes 2 to 9, and it comes in four colours. BUY NOW FOR £32 It seems River Island is rather au fait with creating designer-inspired accessories, such as the roll top clutch bag and woven clutch. On my 2am doomscroll I stumbled across River Island's Monogram Flip Flop Wedge Sandals, which made me double take because the style, and monogrammed print, looked very similar to Gucci's platforms. The River Island design is a slip-on sandal, which resembles a flip flop because of the thong strap on the upper of the foot to separate the big toe from the others. The style features a chunky platform wedge, which increases at the heel to a maximum elevation of 5cm. The Monogram Flip Flop Wedge Sandals have been crafted from a durable fabric, which features the brand's logo in a cream and brown tonal shade. It's this detail, which when you glance at quickly, could easily be mistaken for the traditional Gucci monogram pattern on some of the designer brands accessories. Although Gucci's Platform Slide Sandal features contrasting monogram prints, with a smaller font on the base to counter the larger monogram detail on the upper, the style is similar. Another difference is that the Gucci platforms do not feature the flip flop style toe, instead it is a slip on slider the whole foot sits in. However, the heel height is similar as these shoes measure 5.5cm in height. More Trending The Gucci Platform Slide Sandals have also been crafted from a canvas fabric, but feature leather lining and a rubber sole. Let's not forget the key difference is, of course, the price. Gucci's design fetches a staggering £545 and comes in Italian shoe sizes 34 to 42, including half sizes. Whereas River Island's shoes are available in full sizes ranging from UK 2 to 9. The River Island shoe is also available in four colours, which include all black, leopard print, metallic silver, and, of course, the neutral monogram version. Whether you pair it with jeans, a midi or mini skirt, maybe even a summer dress, River Island sandals will compliment any look, no matter the occasion.
