With the UK currently undergoing a little bit of a mini heatwave and some glorious sunshine, I’ve been switching up my makeup routine slightly; toning down the blush and really packing on the highlighter. I’ve had the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop for quite a few months now and it’s safe to say that it has become my holy grail highlighter!
I like most people I’m sure, am always on the hunt for makeup which stays put, controls oil, waterproof etc. Whilst it can be hard to find a product which incorporates all of those things, I don’t mind settling for makeup which just stays put, minimises pores and keeps oil at bay which is what I get from the Benefit POREfessional Primer.
Following on from my rave review of the Benefit Watt’s Up Highlighter, it seemed more than appropriate to talk about it’s complementing counterpart, the Benefit Hoola Bronzer. I’ve always heard such great things about this bronzer but somehow never got round to trying it until the last few months of 2014 and I’ve been using it daily ever since.
Towards the end of last year and even now, highlighter has definitely become a significant part of my makeup routine. Perfectly placed highlighter just enhances all your key features and gives you a lovely glow. I’ve always been loyal to my Laura Mercier Baked Radiance Powder but there’s something something special about a cream highlighter such as the Benefit Watt’s Up Highlighter.
I don’t really switch up my brow products all that often. Once I find a product I’m happy with I tend to keep going with it until I’ve used it up or am near the end of it. I have been using the Benefit Brow Zings palette consistently for around a year and whilst I do love it, I started to get tired of having to constantly wash the brushes in order to get clean and smoothly filled in brows. Since there was a lot of talk about the Soap and Glory Archery Brow Pencil, the thought of not having to wash any more brushes and not actually have to sharpen the pencil made it all the more appealing!
