It's a sheer gel that sets to a stain you can't even feel. It's not mattifying, but it's not greasy in the least. Not a drop of glitter, shimmer, mica, or shine.

no glitter or shimmer! it does give a very slight luminous effect. how it does without glitter or shimmer, i have no idea. magic i guess.

This is a matte tint, but I apply a shiny gloss on tops of my lips and it looks great.

It doesn't have glitter and it is not matte. It has more of a dewy finish.

it's not pearly at all. just a crisp, matte, brilliant color.

It does not have any shimmer or glitter. However, I'd describe the finish as dewy/moist, rather than matte.

Well, matte isn't the right descripter or glittery. I would say luminous sheen.

it has no shimmer, its translucent though so it only has as much color as you want!

this is not completly matte but not to oily it is the same consistency to posie tint which i have it gives a nice sheen without being to oily. Hope this helped

Neither. It's true to the color on the brush, very natural looking once applied.

Definitely matte.

Same consistency as posie tint, but orange/coral rather than pale pink. If you like posie tint, you'll probably like this if you're looking for a coral color.

It is more golden/orange colored than posietint. Definitely not the same.

The formula is very similar (both are thicker than Benetint) but I think this one is more pigmented than the other two. The color is also much different, the formula starts out almost orange and blends to a pretty coral , where Posietint starts off as a bright pink and blends to a soft pink.

its peachy vs posie's pink... and it will DEFINATELY show up on your skin

Not the same as Posie Tint. This is a peachy color--very flattering on the skin.

It's very similar to Posie Tint in every way. On me, it looks like it has the same "base" color as Posie Tint (warm pink), but this color is enhanced with peachy-orange. It's GORGEOUS!

This has the same texture as posie tint, but I think this color is really on trend with coral trend this summer. I have medium skin with yellow undertones & this color really plays up my tan. I also don't seem to need as much of the cha cha tint as I do with the posie tint. One drop of cha cha to each cheek & I'm good to go!

I think this tint is very similar in consistency to Posy tint, and blends in the same way. The color is a great pink-peach. If you already like Posy tinit, give this one a try :)

The consistency is the same as with Posietint, but the color is a warmer, peachier color. To me, the color is more summery whereas I see myself wearing Posietint more in the spring. It looks fabulous on warm skin tones!

This color is more of a poppy orange tint. It is very sheer.

It tastes disgusting but dries VERY quickly. I don't really notice a smell.

This does not smell or taste like anything. It would be nice if it smelled like mango, but it doesn't. It is just the perfect mango color!

I haven't noticed any odor or taste to it. It definitely doesn't taste bad, but it doesn't have a mango flavor.

it doesn't really smell or taste like anything

Not at all. I live in Mexico, so I know mango! ;)

The truth was that the watery texture and decidedly NOT mango taste were so surprising that I hadn't considered using it as a lip stain again until now. (I'll have to experiment with brushes, however, because the applicator dispenses far too much product.)

This isn't the best smelling Benefit product, and, to me, smell is usually what Benefit does best!

I hope that helps!

It does not smell or taste like mango. It is odorless and flavorless. The color is a great peachy color on the cheeks and coral on the lips. Love it!

It looks and smells like makeup, it only says mango for the colour.

I don't think it necessarily smells or tastes like mango, but the fragrance and flavor aren't bad either.

doesn't smell as good as Benetint - almost smells like paint to be honest but I didn't notice it until I smelled it purely to answer this question. It's tasteless though, unlike Bentint's bitter taste.

color fits the name! sweet smelling odor

It may have simply been out of stock: Cha Cha Tint is in Benefit's permanent collection and should be available everywhere.

I got this at my local Sephora store and though I thought it was a bit pricey, I've been using it everyday for 3 weeks and have barely made a dent in it. I'm pretty sure it will last me a looong time. So I would say it's worth the money.

Cha Cha tint was offered in the Augusta, GA store.

My store had it, but I don't know where your store is. I'm a new Sephora fan, so I would assume they have a function online where you can see if the product is available in that store, if not, I would call your store ahead to see if they carry it. If they don't have it, you could probably ask them to start carrying it by saying, "It's such a great product and I'm sure many people would be more likely to buy it if it were available in stores, instead of just me."
Hope that helps!

I found it in Sephora with no problem.

I found it in my local store on August 5th. Maybe it just hadn't arrived yet?

YEs! I bought mine in stores, it might just take a while to put up, ask them if they have it in stock :)

I purchased mine at Sephora in Scottsdale, AZ.

It is available in stores. Since different store receive products at different times it would a good idea to call ahead.

They have it in stores!

It dries pretty quickly, so from my experience it blends best over freshly applied moisturizer. It isn't drying at all

I have combination skin, but I can definitely tell you that this tint gives a very natural look that is not powdery at all. Even looking very close in the mirror it looks like the tint sinks in your pores, unlike powder, which you can always see as a layer on top of your cheeks. Hope this helps.

I think it will be just fine for dry skin. I bet you can get a sample at in-store! Good Luck!

I am fair and live in Las Vegas which is very dry. I put a few vertical stripes going up my cheek bone and then wipe it in. It smooths right in because it is a very smooth liquid. I have fair skin and the color pops really well.

It's creamy, not watery like the Bene-tint at all. So I think it would give some moisture to your cheeks, and if applied moderately can give your fair skin a lovely, natural, peachy/tangeriney glow :)

I am fair with somewhat dry skin and it is not problematic for me.

Yes, it's very "wet" and won't dry you out. Totally recommend!

This could be used a blush on dry skin. It is more of a stain so make sure you smooth it out fast. Also good to give your lips an extra pop. Remember, a little goes a long way!

I have dry skin too and this works beautifully for me if I apply it a certain way. Of course, make sure you are well moisturized before applying and I find a primer can be helpful as well, but not necessary. If you wearing Other face make up, this goes OVER foundation and under any kind of setting powder.Instead of applying 3 stripes and blending with fingers as it says (this stained my skin with stripes as I detail in my review of this product), I swirl a tiny bit of product on the apple of one cheek, blend in small circles with a stippling brush, then repeat on the other cheek. This has worked well for me, even though I have dry skin. Although my skin tone is a bit darker than yours (I have olive skin, that is medium tan to tan), according to the reviews written by people with lighter skin, this should be fine to use for you. You may just need to use less product than someone with my skin tone. Hope this helps, it really is a gorgeous color, you just have to learn to work with it.

No, not unless you put on moisturizer first--if you don't do that you will definitley wind up with stripes.

I think this is definitely worth the price. It is as smooth as Benetint (I haven't tried Posietint) and has a wonderful coral/peachy color that seems to be complimentary on so many different skin tones. Despite the bottle being small, a little really goes a long way. Start with two or three dots on the cheek and blend, then if you need more color another dot will do it. So the bottles end up lasting a long time!

Totally worth the money! I've used this everyday for 3 weeks and I've barely made a dent in it. Pretty sure it will last a looong time.

The Cha Cha Tint is identical to the Posi-Tint in buildable color and texture. It is creamier than the Benetint. The color is extraordinary if you like CORAL, not so much Peach. I own them all as well ,in full sizes, cannot live without any of them really.

Hi!
The price is what took me so long to buy it, but now that I've found a better way to apply it (just a few droplets on a blush brush-look for my review to publish in a couple of days), I think it will last forever!

Also, I tried and tried the other tint tones, but none of them worked for me because I have yellow undertones to my skin. This works magic! If you are interested in a coral color, but nervous about the intensity of the orange, I also discovered that adding an illuminator on top tones down the color.

I hope this helps!

It is smooth and buildable. It has a thicker, almost creamy liquid consistency. The peach tint it gives my cheeks is great! It looks a bit more coral in the lips. I love the color and find that I use it over my Benetint!

I haven't tried the original or the posie, but I absolutely love the Cha Cha Tint. I've been searching for a great liquid blush, which also happens to be a lip stain. It works really well, you just have to immediately start blending on your cheek after you brush it on.

it is exactly the same consistency and appliability as posie tint, just in an orange red shade.

Cha Cha tint has the same consistency as Posietint. Both are creamier and less watery than Benetint. I own both and the color of Cha Cha tint looks more natural on my medium to olive skin tone. Hope this helps.

Totally worth it. I love it. If you like the poise, you'll love this. Glides on, easy to apply, generally very similar to the poise. Only gripe - doesn't build as well. Partly a color thing. It just gets weird. Go liberal on the first application and it is perfect.

Hi! I got this as a gift, so I didn't have to pay for it, but if I hadn't gotten it for my birthday, I would have bought it with my own money because I wanted to try it so much. I'm so glad I got it. The reason there isn't a deluxe sample version is that it's a new product, so they haven't started making smaller sizes yet. I also had samples of Benetint and Posetint and wasn't sure if this one would be as good. It is! In fact, I like this one best of the three. The consistency is like Posietint, very creamy and blend-able. It is very easy to layer, too, and delivers a lot of color payoff, but it can also look very natural if you use just a little bit. The color is really beautiful. I use it to wake up my face. It makes you look naturally peachy and it's very pretty. And don't be fooled by the small bottle - there's a lot of product in there. Like, a LOT.
This is probably my new favorite product! It's very versatile. All-in-all, I think it's definitely worth the money!
I hope this helped. Good luck!

I use it on top of my BB cream and that's it!

I use it after liquid foundation, before a light dusting of blush. Blend quickly and well and you will not be disappointed.

I prefer this after my foundation and then dust it with translucent setting powder after...it lasts on my skin all day!

I've done it both ways. I use the PorePerfect stuff and then put it on and the powder Hello Flawless on top most days.

If you use a light foundation you could do it under. I usually do it on top of any foundation. But you HAVE TO DO IT BEFORE POWDER, otherwise it cakes into the powder and that is no good unless you want to look like you got into a cupcake icing fight.

use it after you put on your foundation and before powder

I typically put in on after foundation, as the creamy surface of foundation makes the blending of the stain easier!

I blend with my fingers immediately after applying with the brush.

I just follow the instructions they listed on the box. It's got a brush reminiscent of a nail polish brush. I put 2-3 parallel streaks on my cheeks and blend with my finger. Do one cheek at a time because it absorbs and sets quickly (or else you'll end up with streaks on your face).

Hi, I apply it with my fingers and it works great for me!

my fingers and blend, blend!

Just dot on 3 dots onto the apples of your cheeks and quickly rub in with your fingers. I wouldn't use a blush brush for this.

More than any other I've tried. If you put it directly on the skin, under any powder or camoflauge you might use, its staying power is much better.

I dont have to scrub it off my face at the end of the average day, but I use a really light coat for work... going out I'll double coat it and the staying power is much greater

Yeap it does... The pool or beach.. don't know.. I have not worn it there..

I cant' speak for swimming but one of the reasons I buy these Benefit tints are that they are so long lasting. I wear them to my soccer games for just a little flush of color on my lips and my lips still look great after two hours of running and sweating in the hot sun.
