In Search for the Perfect Lip and Cheek Tint

I was in a hunt for the perfect lip and cheek tint - one that can be used to bring a rosy glow to your cheeks and a healthy, delicious yet natural red to your lips - for months. The first lip and cheek tint that I used was Philosophy The Supernatural Lip and Cheek Tint (in supernatural color, as oppossed to superneutral and superplum) which I bought from Beauty Bar in 2003 and I really loved it because of its color, consistency and lasting effect. It was just too bad it was quite pricey, around P800. When I used up the entire tube, I was lucky to find that The Body Shop also has a lip and cheek stain which was less expensive and was even sold buy one, take one, every once in a while. While Philosophy's was superior, The Body Shop's was also good. Until they repackaged it and made it almost as expensive as Philosophy's. I found the reformulated product inferior as it was thinner in consitency and didn't last long. I used up about 5 tubes of the former lip and cheek stain of The Body Shop and a tube of the reformulated one before I stopped and decided to find another lip and cheek tint that would suit my taste.

Here comes Cheeky Tints by ModelCo in rose red. The tint has a pleasant fruity smell, thicker and stays longer. It even spreads better than the other products I tried. The product description says that "cheeky tint will never leak or stain your precious purse. The cap locks tightly in place, pushing the brush head against the tube and securing the seal so no product can be released." If that's the case, why did I find some cheeky tint inside the cap? Apparntly, the product oozed out of the tube. Well, it did no stain to my pouch or bag but I now feel insecure whether I should place it along with my other cosmetics. What if it get squezed again? I just thought it was a pity that the product is so good but the packaging wasn't. Oh well, I can used a lip brush to get to the "spilled" tint. I would still say that this is a very good product, and its tag price of P1400 - though quite pricey is worth it.
