Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl Highlighter

This is my little sister Penny as you can see from the previous two posts on the Benefit Coralista blusher and Dallas bronzer she wanted to get involved on my blog so I used her for my model for this highlighter. 

After Benefit's high beam this is my second favourite highlighter that Benefit does. This I would say is a little more bronzed than the High Beam as that has a lot more pink tones wear as this is the highlighter is between High Beam and Sun Beam.

Girl Meets Pearl comes in a twist up tube, this i think is a bonus as you won't overuse product like you could do with the High Beam and Sun Beam applicators. Overall I love this highlighter and it is perfect for mine and Penny's skin tone which is fair, however I did use this on holiday when I had a tan and it looked amazing so i'm sure it would look great on all skin tones.

Girl Meets Pearl is a little more expensive than High Beam and Sun Beam retailing at £24.50 whereas the High Beam and Sun Beam are only £19.50.  Here is the link where you can buy this from.

Clinique Chubby Stick

This is a lovely pretty pink chubby stick. Unlike my nude one this is nice for spring and summer and would just add a pop of colour to your lips. They are also intensively moisturising and are used as both a lip crayon and a lip balm. This colour is easy to apply and would still look great even if you were in a rush.

Here is where you can buy this Chubby Stick from.

I've done a previous posts on a chubby stick before which you can read here;

Avon Red Lipstick

I ordered this as it was in an offer that included a clutch bag, eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. It was a bargain deal as I absolutely love both the eyeshadow and this red lipstick. The packaging I feel doesn't look cheap and has held up for being bashed around in my bag.

Its a lovely rich red with blue undertones so it will make your teeth look whiter.

You don't need many applications at all, the only problem I have is that It does smudge quite easily so I suggest using a red lipliner and colouring all of your lip, apply the lipstick with a lip brush and then use a 1ply tissue and use translucent powder and dab it over your lips with the tissue on this should help seal it.

If you would like a video on how to make red lipstick last and not transfer then leave me a comment and I shall be happy to do this for you.

MAC Lipstick in Hue

This is one of my favourite Mac Lipsticks, it's perfect for when you're on the go as you won't have to be careful when applying it, which helps when your in a rush- believe me. 

As you can see in the picture above it's a lovely pink toned nude, i wear this and the Clinique Chubby in Heaping Hazelnut everyday really.

The only problem is that it does pick up on dry skin on your lips if they are extremely dry but other than that I absolutely love it.  Its in glaze finish. If you would like to see a dupe, then let me know in the comments :)

Here is a link where you can go to buy this lipstick, it costs £15.

Nude lipsticks are my favourite at the moment and I would love to try some new ones if you have any recommendations.

Jelly Pong Pong Lip Glosses

These are lip glosses from the brand Jelly Pong Pong. They come in the most adorable tubes that aren't that big but packaging and the lip glosses are lovely! 

I first applied the lipgloss like this as the applicator isn't there and you have to squeeze it either onto your lips or onto your finger and then apply it like that, which isn't exactly the most hygienic way to apply it.

This is the the gloss rubbed on and evenly applied. This is the shade; 'Muffin' & smells divine. Which is out of the pink tube.

This is the shade 'Cherry Meringue' Which is a little darker than Muffin but I wouldn't exactly call it a dark lipgloss its just a pleasant pink.

This post is probably for the younger readers as I don't think its for people in the age range of 18 onwards, however if you do love little lip glosses that taste beautiful then Jelly Pong Pong is your place to go.

Benefit Dallas Bronzer

This is my little sister Penny, she is modelling Dallas that I have used as a contour. I don't neccessarily have many bronzers so I felt that I needed this in my collection especially as Benefit is my favourite make-up brand and has been for many years. I think its a lovely colour and isn't too dark, i feel you can use it as a natural contour or bronzer.

I am really happy with this bronzer as it is the right tone for both mine and Penny's faces' and we aren't exactly the most tanned of people. It doesn't have any glitter within it either so you can wear it as a natural bronzer or as a contour all over your face. Next time your at a Benefit counter have a look!

This retails for £23.50 and you can buy it here.

I've got many Benefit posts on the way so make sure that your subscribed to my blog then you won't miss them.
