I won’t spend money on blush or lipstick again – I swear by my 62p hack that’s a total dupe for Benefit’s iconic £25 buy
A WOMAN has revealed that she’ll never spend money on blusher or lip tint again thanks to her clever idea.
Beauty fan Victoria Benitez, who recently shared that she has been making her own ‘natural Botox’ with a 99p Morrisons buy, has also demonstrated how she gets her cheeks and lips pink - without using any beauty products.
Thanks to Victoria’s clever 62p hack, she’s got her very own dupe of Benefit’s iconic lip and cheek stain - Benetint, which’ll set you back an eye-watering £25.50.
The brunette beauty took to social media to show off her simple trick, leaving many totally stunned.
Using a beetroot - yes, you heard that correctly - Victoria gave her face a beautiful glow, without needing to break the bank.
She said: “You see this right here? This right here? This [beetroot] is the best lip tint and cheek stain on the market.

“Okay, so this is a beet and what you're gonna do, you're just gonna literally cut it. Cut a little piece off right here, put it on your lips.
“This is Benetint. This is natural Benetint.
“I used to do this when I was in a pinch and just wanted to go out with some natural colour.”
Victoria then rubbed the beetroot over her lips and cheeks, as she continued: “I just think it's the prettiest blush ever. I mean, look how f*****g pretty that is. That is such a pretty blush.
“That is gorgeous. I just feel so useful and pink now.
“There is a way to actually make this into a cream blush and I'll show you how to do that in another video.
“But honestly, I just think beets are the nicest blush on the market.”
In a follow-up clip, Victoria replied to those that ask her: “Why not just buy blush at Sephora?”
In response, Victoria proudly showed off her glowing face, as she claimed: “Because beets are healthier, prettier, sustainable and more affordable.”
So if you fancy giving this trick a try and haven't got any beetroot in your cupboard, you can buy a pack of four whole beetroots from Morrisons, for just 62p.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @victoria__benitez, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 19,500 views in just one day.
Social media users were impressed with Victoria’s simple trick and were eager to express this in the comments.
One person said: “I like it!!”
Another added: “Yasss love beets.”
At the same time, many beauty fans were eager to know more about the hack.
One user asked: “How long does it stay on for?”
In response, Victoria replied: “I just came back from the gym and it’s still on! So the whole day really.”
Whilst someone else questioned: “How long can you store it? In the fridge?”
