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.

MAC Forever Marilyn Beauty Powder Review + Swatch!

So I am back with another product review and this is for the MAC Forever Marilyn beauty powder from the Marilyn Monroe collection!
I am so excited to do this review and share with you guys my thoughts on this product!
I know this is so popular because this was sold out in all the MAC counters and also the website.
But thankfully I got my hands on it and I am glad to be doing this review.

The beauty powder is a light peach color and it is very light. This may show up on very fair skin there fore as a use of a blush but other than that I think this is essentially a highlighter. This may look a little bit ashy or chalky on deeper skin tones though. 
Since this is very light it can look powdery and chalky so when lightly dusted on the face it will give a really nice glow.
This powder doesn't have a ton of shimmer like some of the highlighter have. It has tiny bit of shimmer but this is more of a satin. Therefore it's more natural because it's like a glow and I like that WAY more than really shimmery powders like some of the MAC mineralized skin finishes. 

I also LOVE the packaging because it has Marilyn, obviously! It's a glossy black plastic packaging and the picture of Marilyn is gorgeous! The picture of Marilyn is not a sticker so that it really cool! :)

Benefit Watt's Up! Highlighter Review + Swatch

Hello everybody, I'm back with a new product review and today's featured product is Benefit's Watt's Up! highlighter.

Benefit's Watt's Up! ($30.00) is a champagne hued highlighter for the face. This highlighter is very smooth and pigmented which will work for almost all skin type and complexion.

What I really love about this highlighter is first of all, the color! It's a beautiful straight-up champagne. Not too pink nor golden. It's also really great because it's not glittery like most of cream highlighters can have. It gives the perfect amount of glow to your cheeks.

The consistency is great because it's very creamy without feeling greasy or oily. For people that have oily skin like myself, it doesn't make you look oily IF you put a small amount. If you put too much on, it can tend to make your face look oily. Even though I have oily skin I love the way it looks on my skin. To prevent it from looking too oily I like to take the product on my finger FIRST then, blending it out with my finger or the sponge applicator that comes with the product on the other side. I don't like applying straight from the product because it can be a little bit overwhelming. 

All in all, I love this product and I recommend it. Even thought the price is a little bit steep, I would say that this is very much worth it and I would repurchase it again but I have a feeling that this would last a long time. 

You can purchase this product wherever Benefit is sold. (Sephora, Ulta, macy's)

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Bronze

           The Bobbi brown shimmer brick ($39) is a highlighting product that has a lot of shimmer that will instantly give a glow to your face. When all of the colors are blended together, it gives a bronzy sheen to your face. This is a versatile product because each of the colors can also be used as eye shadows.

            I would say the other dupes are MAC mineralized skin finishes or a drugstore dupe would be one of the Physicians Formula shimmer strips. If you want a subtle sheen on your face, I recommend using a duo fiber brush instead of using a dense blush brush which will give you a more intense look.

            Even though it has shimmer in it, but it's not gritty at all. The packaging is like the other Bobbi Brown products with the black exterior and "Bobbi Brown" printed in white.

　Bobbi brown shimmer brick(39ドル)は、シャイニーな光沢が得られるハイライトです。5種類のカラーをブレンドすることで、ブロンジーでシャイニーな雰囲気に仕上がります。 また、アイシャドーとして使うこともできるなど用途の広い製品なのです。

　MACのMineralized skin finishesに良い似ていて、アメリカのドラッグストアで扱っているPhysicians  Formula の shimmer strips にも通じるものがあります。もし、少しだけ肌にのせたいという人には、デュオ・ファイバー・ブラシを使用することをおすすめします。そうすることでコテコテのグリッター系とはならず、微光ながらシャイニーな印象に仕上がります。

　パッケージングは、ほかのBobbi Brown の商品と同じようにブラックケースに白地で印字されています。
