Benetint or MeMeMe copy?

I was going to buy some Benetint and possibly high beam too. I've seen in superdrug Mememe do they do very close lookig copies for around a fiver instead of benefits 20 odd quid.
Is it worth splurging on the benefit or has anyone tried the Mememe version and can vouch for it? Xmas Smile

There is also a version of benetint by body shop which I really rate, as the packaging is much more convenient. I always ended up knocking benetint over and the glass breaking- monumental PITA, and you can't carry it around in your handbag. Body shop version is in a plastic tube with a wand rather than a brush, looks identical when on.
Sorry I don't know the superdrug version.

I bought a cheap one from Superdrug- I think it was 2True. Just as good as Benetint but smell not as nice so don't use on lips. I only use on cheeks anyway.

I'm not a massive fan of Benetint but agree that the Body Shop one is definitely as good if not better.

Ah thanks. Think I'll save my money then. The body shop one sounds good with the applicator, will take a look :)

There's currently a gift set in Boots with Benetint, Highbeam and Posie (the pink Benetint) for £14.50. Not sure if they're half sizes, though, but might be worth investigating if you were after both anyway...

i've tried various tints and always end up with pink stained fingertips no matter how hard i wash my hands after, so it puts me off. and also can't wear it on my lips, but benetint is good but not necc. worth the extra £££
