Benefit Dandelion

Love a multitasker? Try this Benefit Dandelion! 

Hmmm, of course the real Dandelion not appear like that. Lol! From Do The Bright Thing Set, I got the small size at 3g (normal size is 7g), I gave the others to my family and friends because I have ever tried the other and just keep this Dandelion for myself.

From Benefit's website, the description of Dandelion is :

"This sheer ballerina pink face powder takes your complexion from dull to radiant with buildable color and just a hint of shimmer. Sweep it on cheeks as a soft blush or dust it all over face as a brightening finishing powder. Soft, natural-bristle brush included."

It can be used as all over face powder or soft blush. Benefit also suggest to sweep Dandelion on top of Posie Tint for a beautiful popped pink on your cheek.

When I did heavy swatch on my hand, the pink color is quite visible like a pink blusher, but when perfectly blended, it turn to soft pink with golden sheen. Not a shimmery one, it just beautiful sheen that create beautiful, brightening and glowing color on my skin. 

Showing you some sheen under the sunlight. The sheen is perfectly shown when the light hits the skin. So it is impossible to be overglowing with Dandelion.

The texture is just so-so, bit powdery but not cakey. It blends easily and not clogging my pores or makes it more visible. So far it didn't cause any breakout or makes my skin dry. But my ritual is include using moisturizer before make up, so it help prevent skin from drying. It last about 3-4 hours on me. 

As a blush, the color is not really shown. But it did creating a shy blushing on my cheeks. (Like below picture). This is also good as a blush topper because it does not change the original color of the blush too much. It will be perfect pair for a matte blusher whenever you need extra glow on your face.

Benefit Watt's Up

First of all, this is my old collection, so the product is not brand new (you will see dirty sponge etc).. I have been using it for quite some time and I like it. So I decide to do a short review about this.

It is basically a champagne cream to powder highlighter which is not too bold and will create soft glow on cheeks and brow bones.

I think the champagne color will suits any skin tone. And with the sheer finish, it is impossible to overdo. Texture is cream stick and easy to be applied. It is not too soft so it is safe to glide directly from the stick.

The applicator is a soft blending sponge attached to the product that helps to spread and blend the cream. But most of the time I like using my fingers since it is easier.

It does not make my pores more visible.The sheer finish makes it only last for 5 hours on me. But this piece you can bring to travel with no worries (I prefer to bring cream than powder while traveling). This is not the best highlighter that I have, but I still use this regularly mostly in morning or afternoon when I don't need too much glow.

Benefit High Brow Glow in Champagne Pink

This one is going home with me on first swatch on Benefit counter. I'm looking for highlighter pencil for my brow bone and I'm happy I found this.

This pencil contains 2.8g of product in champagne pink shade. It has black cap to protect the products. The wood is soft enough and easily sharpened.

Pigmentation is quite good, not too bold but visible. The color will suit most people from any skintone well. The texture is smooth and easy to blend. It last 5 hours on me. I apply directly to brow bone and blend using fingertips for more natural looks.
