Benefit High Beam Review + Swatches!

Benefit's high beam is a liquid highlight that you put on your face.

It's in a bottle of a nailpolish so, the too comes off and it has a brush applicator like a nailpolish.

I found it easiest to apply the product with the brush applicator, putting 3-4 dots of the product on the tops of my cheekbones then blending it out with my finger. Although, it doesn't have to be only applied to the face, you can apply it to your browbone or in the inner corner of your eyes.

I really like this highlighter because it is very subtle and glowy. It has a high sheen rather than shimmer or glitter overload. It is suitable for girls with oily skin because it doesn't make you look oily, it gives your a nice sheen and highlight to your face.

I find this product to be very effortless because it looks nice without trying too hard. It only takes two steps to apply it and blend it and it looks really nice and put together. It's an awesome product and it's also awesome for travelling. 

I think this would be an awesome product for this time of the month because it's getting very cold where I live (Japan) and since the air is very dry, it gives you a nice healthy looking glow to your face.

Now onto the product pictures and swatches!

Benefit CORALista blush review + swatches!

I feel so bad that I've haven't done a blog post in a long time!
But to make it up to y'all I'm doing one today!
Today's featured product is Benefit's CORALista blush!

I know this is more of a summery product but I still wanted to do a blog post on it because you can use any blush color in any season!

CORALista is just like the name says, a warm coral-pink color. It has slight shimmer but not at a point where it is obnoxious and that's one of the reasons I love this blush. It's subtle but it gives the perfect glow instead of shimmer. The pigmentation is really good and the texture is (oh my lord) very soft! 
This blush is very natural looking and it gives a really pretty flush of color and brightness to the face. 

The packaging is of course, adorable! The leopard or cheetah print inside and there is a slight foral scent to the blush. I really like the 'boxed' packaging because it's very unique and that's one of the many reasons I love benefit!

This works for a lot of skin tones and it's hard to overdo the blush which is a good thing :) 

So, I really love this blush as you can see and I definitely recommend it even though the price is a little hefty ($28) it's definitely worth it!

And, now onto the pictures and swatch!

Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess Review + Swatch

Today I wanted to talk about the Tarte bronzer in Park Avenue Princess. 

This bronzer is a mini size but I feel like this would last a decent time. To be honest I don't wear a lot of bronzer but I decided to give this a try because I heard a lot of good things about this product. 

First of all, the color is perfect. It's not orange at all but it's not a muddy brown color. It's like a golden bronzy color and it's really pretty. It compliments a lot of skin tones so it's very universal. It also has a little bit of shimmer in it which makes your skin look very glowy. It's not shimmery to the point where it's obnoxious and you look like a disco ball!


The texture is really soft and velvety as well as being very pigmented. 


I also really like the packaging with the cool looking cover and the top being rather... squishy! 

This is a staple summer product for me because I can just apply this with a fluffy brush all over my cheeks and I'm done with my face makeup. It looks really pretty without a blush over it and it makes my skin a golden bronze glow. 


I never thought that I would love this product as much as I do but it has quickly become my staple product in my makeup collection.
