Woohoo! Just had my first subscription copy with High Beam- which is the one I wanted! Now all I have to do is hide it from my DD!

Re the Tints, I agree totally that Benetint is for slightly darker skin tones, I think they did the Posietint for fairer skin tones, it suits me as Im blonde and quite fair tho not very pale.

I found the texture quite different - Benetint is more liquid and Posietint a little more gel like? a little thicker.

As for what to do with it, what I do is dot a little on the back of my hand and quickly blend it onto my cheeks, less is definately more as it lasts all day, but you can build it up - I dont try the '3 dots on the cheek and blend outwards' that Benefit recommend, as I find Im not quick enough and it seems to dry quite fast into 3 dots, but may be just me!!

the other thing which is great is that you can paint it onto lips and then cover with lip balm or gloss, depending if your lips are dry, it stays really well - I mix it on the back of my hand with Body Shop lip butter and that works really well.

You can also blend either Tint with High Beam or Moonbeam and use it as a creamier and slightly richer/more shimmery blusher - also they told me at the Benefit counter they mixc the new 'Girl Meets Pearl' with Posie Tint and/or High beam to make a lovely highlighter or blusher, you can really mess about and do what suits you, its pretty versatile.

Hope that helps somebody, Im sure others may use it differently to me so be interested to see what others say about how they use it, ive not really used Benetint other than trying it once on cheeks and lips - but I do suit lighter lip glosses and stains, like the Viva Glam Gaga type of paler glosses, so still worth others with light skin tones trying it as they might suit or prefer the more dramatic or darker tone? especially if you are teens/20's as Im a bit older than that

ps - about the stock issue, the 3 stores I went to today told me they are expecting big deliveries this month due to the giveaway, so if the shelf has been ransacked,worth asking them if there is more out back, am sure Glamour have deliberately made it late and cranked up the interest knowing they will sell more than one copy per person for those interested,

I remember with the last Benefit glosses freebie they did and with the Clinique, there were several shelves full of copies, more than usually stocked, so hopefully everyone will be ok to get what they want.

Bit annoying that so many areas dont seem to have had their delivery today!

Just back from Asda. They had all 3 products, i got the benetint and posietint as i already have a bottle of high beam but i'm not a massive fan of it. Prefer moonbeam.

I'm glad I found this thread again, as nearly forgot about it. There are two places in my village that had Glamour mag, when the clinique promotion was out. So will be seeing what goodies they have in stock. :j

If you buy the Times newspaper get your glamour from WH Smith as they are giving £1 off any magazine when you purchase the Times - so Glamour for £1 - bargain (I had the Highbeam btw :T)

Honestly, been having terrible nightmares about not getting it! Fortunately the nightmare didn't come true and I seemed to have been the first to get my hands on them in our asda! :j::T
