Review: Benefit - Finding Mr Bright

Hi dolls, I hope you all had a fabulous weekend & enjoyed the sun!!

Here we have a product I received for my birthday back in April, I can't believe I haven't got around to reviewing it yet!

Benefit - Finding Mr Bright

What Benefit have to say:

"Ladies, this brightening kit is quite a catch! Finding mr. bright is filled with all of the essentials for a luminous complexion. Complete with a step-by-step brightening lesson...this kit's the total package!"

The kit includes:

♥ Girl meets pearl - liquid pearl for face - 7.5 mL

♥ Posietint - poppy-pink tinted lip & cheek stain - 4.0 mL

♥ High beam - luminescent complexion enhancer - 2.5 mL

♥ Erase paste no. 2 - medium brightening camouflage for eyes & face - 3.2 g

Girls Meets Pearl

I'd never heard of this product before owning this kit but I'm glad I know about it now! I like to mix it with my liquid foundation or lightly pat it on my face after applying make up and it leaves me looking dewy with a subtle shimmer, perfect for summer!

Pose Tint

I actually own a dupe of this product as I wasn't willing to part with the £24.50 price tag for the full size and I'm glad I didn't. Don't get me wrong, it's 'ok' and I will continue to use it on my lips but it does nothing for my cheeks. If I hadn't tried the dupe I probably would have liked this alot more but this certainly wasn't my favourite product in the kit.

Erase Paste

This is my FAVOURITE product from the kit hands down! It's a very creamy almost gel like concealer that looks amazing under the eyes. I can apply this to my eyes in the morning after a couple of hours sleep and it leaves me looking awake and bright. I will certainly be purchasing the full size product when I've finished with this pot.

Highbeam

This is probably one of Benefit's most famous products and I can see why. This is such a versatile product and it can be used in a number of places including the cheeks and brow bone to give a lovely glow, this also photographs REALLY well.

I probably wouldn't have purchased this kit myself but I'm glad the girls at work picked it out for my birthday, they know me too well!

Review: Boots No.17 Hide Away Concealer

Hello my gorgeous geeks, I hope you're all having a fab Friday!

I was browsing in Boots earlier this month & I noticed they had 3 for 2 on all cosmetics, like I need an excuse?

I'm constantly on a mission to find the perfect concealer so thought I'd give this a go...

Boots No.17 Hide Away Concealer

I was reluctant when I first tried it, I'm not usually a fan of concealers with a sponge applicator, I find them unhygienic! I get around this problem by swatching the product onto a clean hand & applying it from there.

The packaging itself is quite sleek looking, not as cheap as the £3.99 price tag would suggest!

I chose the shade 'medium' however it comes in light, medium & dark. Medium was a perfect match for my skin tone.

Before & After Blending

The product is surprisingly creamy and it covers well! I use it under the eye area, it makes me appear awake & hides any imperfections. If you're looking for a fuller coverage concealer for scarring/spots then I wouldn't recommend this. It lasts for around 6 hours, so although it isn't all day it lasts quite a while for the price!

Would I buy it again? Probably not. I want to try lots more, and although I did like it & use it regularly I'm not sure I like it enough to repurchase.

Available in most Boots stores, priced at £3.99.
