Benefit Girl Meets Pearl: Liquid Pearl for Your Face

Beth — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:28:40 +0000

I am generally skeptical about illuminizers. They all seem about the same to me. And they don’t tend to work well with powder foundations, which I wear habitually. But Benefit’s new Girl Meets Pearl, a liquid pearl for you face, is pretty darn beautiful. You can use it under your foundation as a primer, or straight over, on the apples of your cheeks, bridge of your nose and even your cupid’s bow (above…

As you know, I am a big fan of non-pencil eyeliners. While I love pot liner, I’ve been wanting to try a traditional liquid eye liner again, now that I have more practice.

Benefit’s newest powder is HOT HOT HOT… I guess. One Hot Minute is a good loose powder bronzer. Its meant to be lightly dusted all over, head to toe, for a subtle bronze and slight glow. I like it well enough, but be warned: too much is TOO much. I recommend using this with a fan brush like the one that comes with, or with a big loose powder brush that you swirl into…

I am crazy about Benefit’s new collection of fragrances, Crescent Row. The are inspired by a row of adorable houses in Bath, England that the daughters of the founder stumbled apon. Each scent is very unique and different, so one of them is sure to please you. I had a chance to try out all three, and although I liked Laugh with me LeeLee a lot, Something About Sophia won my heart! It is…
