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!

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. 

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)
