    Got the highbeam one today, but will probably pick up at least one more copy over the next few weeks.

    I got posietint - I have never tried them before, if I like it I might pick up the 2 others later


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 481 ✭✭Sarah Bear


    got high beam and beetint.. tescos ashbourne. shelf edge price was €1.48 but got charged €2.97 each so got them free double wooooop!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,957 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    Is it the june or the july issue?
    I can't get out because I'm sick so will have to order online on tesco with my shopping so if anyone can tell me which issue I'd be delighted.

    Also does anyone have any tips for wearing highbeam?I find that even if I use it very sparingly I'll always catch sight of myself in some light over the course of the day looking like I've been bedazzled and glittered.

    It's the July issue with Adele on the cover. Get well soon!

    Hey, thanks so much for pointing this one out OP. > Got the last copy of glamour in my local newsagents this evening, thankfully it had the posietint which was what I wanted as I already have fullsize of the other two.

    The bottle really is quite small (4 mls), by way of comparison my full size Benetint is 12.5 mls. I'm a bit surprised to see how dense the posietint is compared to the benetint liquid. I could see myself using it as a blush alright but can't imagine using it as a lip stain. Still a nice little bargainous treat!

    I originally wanted them all but only ended up buying the PosieTint, I tried it on my hand, seems to stain very very pink, anyone tried it on? I'm afraid:D

    I find it blends very well and leaves you with a much softer more natural blush than benetint. It looks intimidating on your hand but once you apply it to your cheeks and rub it in it gives a barely there look.

    Its ok as a lip tint under lip gloss.I have some darker lip glosses and I find if I put possy tint on first and then add a little lip gloss and blend it gives a lovely colour. On it's own it is a bit bubble gum pink for lips though in my opinion.

    How much is the actual magazine?

    It's marked as £2 sterling; I think mine was about €2.90 at the till.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭kandr10


    I had to get all three! I needed them you see :D
    I figured if the mag is about 3 then it'd be 9 for 3 sample sizes which isn't bad. They're quite small but for the amount you'd use they should last a while.
    My favourite is the high beam. I've never used a liquid highlighter before. Think I'd buy the full size of this eventually. Not sure if I'd buy the full size posie tint or bene tint though. I like the colours just I'm not used to apply something like this on the cheeks (as a lip stain I love them!)
    Does anyone have any tips as to how to wear the cheek stain? Do you just apply and blend with finger as the bottle says or do you use it as a base for another blush?

    I use just as the bottle says.I think the first time you see yourself with benetint on it looks a bit dramatic but you get used to blending just the right amount to suit yourself over time. Posie tint gives a more subtle effect I think.You can kind of pat it into place,it doesn't require as much blending.Both look nicer and more natural than powdery or creamy blushes. They can make nice lip tint but once your lips get wet at all the benetint at least partially disappears and your left with a two tone lip effect. Have to watch out for that:)

    Dont usually buy glamour, or any magazine for that matter.
    but just had to buy two :)
    benitint and high beam as i had the posie tint already :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,596 ✭✭✭anniehoo


    Bought the one with the Posietint....more cheek suitable for me than lips. Its very light isnt it?

    On a side note, i bought mine in a garage and the £2 sterling on the cover was converted to €3.19 at the till. :eek: Whopping difference compared to the conversion of €2.27 it shouldve been.

    We have VAT on mags, they don't in UK so there's always a 13.5% lift. That said, it should have been about 2.98, that seems to be the usual price in most places.

    I haven't bought one yet, I only want High Beam, really should have tried harder!

    The Topaz garage in Donnybrook had a few on the shelf this afternoon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    I went searching around town for them and couldn't find them at all, I went back home and they were on sale in the petrol station :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 561 ✭✭✭slowmoe


    Got all three in my local newsagent, they have loads. So far hating benetint :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,375 ✭✭✭fonpokno


    Got myself High Beam tonight, dragged my friend up and we both got one. They had Posie Tint too but I didn't bother picking it up. I'm really impressed with the size of it! I thought it'd be like the tiny ones you get in their kits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭Dark Phoenix


    local newsagent was selling the magazine at 1.48 euro when it was 2 pound on the cover. I asked was it right and they said yep special price so I was happy got the three product freebies for less than a fiver! :D
    I am liking benetint, posie is too light for my lips but okay on my cheeks. High beam I am not 100% sure where I should be putting it? Stuck some on my cheek bones today and it looked nice


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    Boyfriend picked me up the one with Bene tint today :D
