Benefit’s latest creation left me very intrigued, I saw it appear a few times on Youtube and was keen to purchase one. Fortunately Benefit contacted me and offered to send me one to try out~ Essentially this is a retractable cheek and lip stick. It is made up of three different colours for different functions, the pink champagne acts as the highlighter, the sheer watermelon is the blush and the soft coral as the contour.
I love how easy this is to use, literally a single firm swipe up leaves enough product for you to blend out and give your cheeks a nice healthy flush. The product is generally quite sheer, which makes it more forgiving if you don’t get the angle right the first time.
As you can see in the photos below, I use my fingers to blend the product out. It has a mousse like consistency so it is very easy to blend.
I definitely think this is a great on the go product, once you get the hang of it you can use it whilst travelling without the need of a brush or additional products.
Benefit claims this can be used as a lipstick as well, personally I’d stick to just the cheeks as I didn’t find it very suitable for my lips (it was a bit drying). All in all, give it a go! I’ve got quite a bit of travel lined up for this year and you can bet this will make its way into my makeup bag 🙂
If you’re interested these will be available from the Benefit counters at Myer for $44AU on the 2nd of February, or if you can’t wait they are available now on Benefit’s website.
The cheek tint looks great with your complexion ( ^-^)/
Awww thanks so much~ 😀
Great review, I got given a sample of this in my last Benefit order and I was definitely very curious to see it in action. Might be a little too sheer for my complexion but I do like the idea behind it.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think! I do worry it may be a bit too light for ladies with more tanned skin but I’d be curious to know how ti actually fairs 😀
I really like the nice pink glow on your cheeks. So soft and easy to use. I’m going to check it out. Thanks for the review on this.
Thanks so much~ Let me know what you think! 😀 It’s so easy to use~
This intrigues me too. It looks so pretty on you!
Thank you! Let me know if you try it out 😀
oh this would be fabulous if you were off on holidays (wishful thinking) and could only take a few products with you.
Plus the packaging looks sturdy enough to not smash, explode or ooze over everything you own.
The color looks really nice too.
Yes! I’m so excited to go on my mini trips this year even more so now (of course only a beauty blogger would say that regarding makeup)~ And it’s plastic too so very light 😀
Thanks SO much for the step-by-step application photos! So helpful! I kinda felt meh about this.. I still do a bit but that was helpful! 🙂 Very helpful! Didn’t know it could also be used as a lip colour.. How different!
My pleasure love!! 🙂 Let me know if you do decide to try it out 😀
