This month has been a little bit of a Benefit win for me and more and more of my make up routine has been made up of their products, which personally really surprises me.
Benefit is one of those brands that I know are extremely popular in the beauty industry, but they've never really been a go-to for me. Why? I don't know. To be honest, I often find their products a little gimmicky, but I'm going to force myself to see past the packaging in the future as the products I have tried recently have been absolutely incredible.
My favourite has probably been Benefit Watt's Up!*, which is an incredible Champagne toned stick highlighter that adds the most divine glow to your skin. Hardly a new product to the Benefit scene, I'm really sad that I hadn't tried this before now as it's so easy to use and really gives the nicest effect which has even tricked many into believing I have that lovely pregnancy glow!
With a sponge blender on the end to blend it out, this can be used on it's own or above your make up, both directly and indirectly. I personally like to use it from my fingers to have more control and dabbed on the cheekbones, down the nose and along the brow bone, you can't beat its cream to powder finish.
Costing £24.50, Watt's Up is available to buy at Benefit stores and counters in the likes of Boots, House of Fraser and Debenhams.

Ah, I've always been the same about Benefit, never been a brand that has amazed me despite the hype. Maybe I should give more of their products a go, great review.

I totally know what you mean by Benefit products being super gimmicky. I'll have to give one a try I guess since you've had such a positive experience! A new Benefit store opened right by me so I'll take a look!

I feel the same way about Benefit and I also think they are so over priced for what you get. I do love the Rockateur blush though.
ReplyDeleteI have a little mini one of these and it's so lovely!

I feel similarly about Benefit - I think that they're priced because of the gimmicky packaging not because their products are particularly 'high-end'; that said I adore CORALista, High Beam & Erase Paste, so maybe my ways are changing. I've wanted to try this concealer for a while, I've heard lovely things about it, i just worry that it might be too creamy & crease on me.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely here - what lipstick are you wearing, it's gorgeous :)

It's funny to see a lot of people say gimmicky about Benefit, I must be prime to fall for it because I love all that San Fran kitch stuff. Wasn't too impressed with High Bean, was a little too pearly for me so I think I might have to try this one!!
ReplyDeleteBtw what lipstick are you wearing here its lovely?? xx
