I bought Benefit's Benebalm, ChaCha balm, and Benetint all in one scoop, so I'll review Benebalm and Benetint first, and ChaCha balm with ChaCha tint second.
Benefit Cosmetic's Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm in BeneBalm
The packaging: This came in its own little box. The tube is the cutest thing ever because it's a shiny red tube covered in light pink polka dots. The tube makes me smile just by looking at it.
 |
| (L to R): BeneBalm, ChaCha Balm, Benetint in natural light |
The scent: There is a slight floral/rose scent to this balm, but it doesn't linger after applied.
 |
| Wearing only Bene balm |
The product: BeneBalm is a very sheer rosy red shade. It is incredibly sheer and leaves a very sheer rosy tint to lips. It is super hydrating and applies smoothly. It wore for less than 2 hours on my lips, but it was so easy to reapply. If you want color pay-off, skip these balms. I think the real magic happens when you apply these on top of the lip tints!
Cost: $18
Benefit Cosmetic's BeneTint
The packaging: This came in its own box. The cap has the applicator brush attached, but this brush is completely inconvenient for me. Using this brush to apply this tint has resulted in me getting it outside my lip lines, so I use single-use doe-footed applicators that I bought off of Amazon to apply this.
 |
| (L to R): BeneBalm, ChaCha Balm, Benetint in sunlight |
The scent: There is a slight floral scent to this tint, but it doesn't linger.
 | |
| Wearing only Bene Tint |
The product: Benetint is a reddish rose tint. This product is a liquid lip stain, so it goes on very wet and dries down to a great natural red flush. It wore for 4+ hours on my lips alone. This product tended to dry out my lips after a couple of hours...BUT this is where the BeneBalm came in. Applying Benebalm on top of this gives it a completely natural, just-ate-a-red-popsicle look and your lips feel hydrated.

Cost: $30
Benefit Cosmetic's Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm in ChaCha Balm
The packaging: Same as Benebalm, except the tube is a golden coral shade with pink wave accents.
 |
| Wearing only ChaCha Balm |
The scent: Same as Benebalm.
 |
| Wearing ChaCha Balm layered on top of ChaCha Tint |
The product: Same as Benebalm, but ChaCha Balm is a very sheer mango-peach shade. ChaCha Balm, just like Benebalm, looks great layered over Benefit's ChaCha Tint. It provides a whole other dimension to ChaCha Tint, and keeps lips hydrated.

Cost: $18
I don't think I could buy either of these products separately after trying them together. The Benebalm alone is too sheer, and the Benetint alone is too drying. This is the same with the ChaCha balm and ChaCha tint. So if you want to try either out, just buy both. You'll love it!
