When a cheap product is mentioned in any magazine, I’m sucker enough to go and pick it up. Which is why I found myself at Kohl’s one Friday afternoon looking for the Flirt! BIG DEAL lip & cheek tint in Berry Flair. The article suggested Berry Flair, advocating it as a tint anyone could wear. Well, the author was wrong. Thank goodness Kohl’s has testers. Berry Flair looked like clown makeup on my fair skin. It was much too dark. I was hoping to find a new tint, so I picked up Tini Bikini instead. The color reminds me of a cheek tint I had in high school from Clinique. It was during my luminescent phase where every piece of makeup I wore was dewy. On a side note, I checked the Clinique Web site, and it doesn’t look like they make this product anymore. Anyway, I do like the color, on both my lips and cheeks, although this tint doesn’t last long on my lips. On cheeks, it works best when wearing either no foundation or a liquid/cream foundation. It doesn’t work well over powder, and is drastically muted under powder, but I suppose that shouldn’t be a surprise. There are days when it is nice to swipe this on my lips and cheeks, add some mascara and head out the door.
