Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow (I'm so money, honey) Review & Swatch

The latest offering from Benefit's foundation collection is this- Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow. I picked up I'm so money, honey which is around a Mac nc25 shade, but perhaps not as yellow based. Texture wise- it's quite liquid and lightweight which makes for a lovely and almost invisible appearance on the skin. It dries quite quickly so you need to work relatively fast, but once it's set I found it lasted me all day with no need to touch up. This one is semi matte, so unless you have super oily skin you can get away with little or no powder at all. 

It's also oil free and has an Spf of 25 which saves you from having to use a separate product for sunscreen. What's particularly nice about this foundation is that even though it's quite a thin fluid you still get a good coverage, I'd say it's a medium-buildable formula. It's fairly simply packaged and has a pump which gives enough product out in 1-2 pumps to cover the entire face, the transparent bottle is also handy as you can see how much you have left.

Benefit Cha Cha Tint Review & Swatch

This is Benefit's Cha Cha Tint, I know it isn't a particularly new product on the market but I wanted to feature it as it's a great multi tasker especially as we're coming into summer and need more hard wearing products. It's a bright orange coral gel which blends into a soft peach coral stain. My favourite way to wear this is on the apples of your cheeks under foundation or tinted moisturiser to give a glow from within, but it can be used on top if you prefer. You can also use it on your lips to tie the look together- but you will need a good balm over it as it can be a bit drying. What's great about it is that you can build the colour in layers to ensure it stays put in the heat but you need to blend quickly to avoid getting patches or clown cheeks.

Benefit Coralista Blush Review & Swatches

I've been a long term devotee to Benefit's Coralista, it's my go-to peachy blush. It's a perfect blend of coral peach-pink with enough golden shimmer to illuminate but not so much as to enhance pores. I find that this blush lasts all day on me (if you have really oily skin you might want to try setting blush with a powder or layer cream and powder blushes). I actually prefer this to many of the other coralish blushers on the market (Nars, Mac etc..) both in terms of texture and colour.

The added bonus with this is that you get a lot of product for your money (.42 OZ) which is double the size of most blushes. This one is in the old style packaging so doens't have a flip lid or mirror but you get more product. I should also mention that this has a sweet peachy scent so if you're allergic to frangrance you might want to give this one a miss!
