BENEFIT CHA CHA TINT

Good Afternoon Foxettes !

After all the hype I was delighted to receive this as a gift from a friend at Christmas.

First impressions were of the packaging, very sleek coral mirrored bottle with a simple white screw top.

When swatched it is a scary looking neon coral colour when blended gives a lovely flush to the cheeks (or lips) where placed. This product would be fabulous for all skin tones as a lighter hand will give a more sheer colour for paler skin whilst a more generous amount will build up the colour for darker skin tones. Being so creamy allows it to blend easily, I find it easier than the liquid consistency of Benetint. Whilst using this product, I find application with my fingers gives me the best results, but you could always ask the make up artists on the counter for the best advice ! If not, Benefit have included an instruction guide of how and where to use this product which is a great touch.

I think this product would be a great summer staple, in the warmer weather I tend to steer away from powder and go for creams and with this being a stain the results would last a lengthy time compared to a powder.
This product contains 12.5ml, costs £24.50 and is available from Debenhams, Boots and ASOS.

FREE 7 DAYS OF LANCOME FOUNDATION !

Hello Foxettes !

The other day I was out on my weekly shopping spree and came across a poster in Debenhams for a FREE 7 day trial of the newly released TEINT IDOLE ULTRA 24H Lancome foundation !

Even as a beauty lover, I am yet to find my perfect foundation.

I approached the lady on the counter and she was more than happy to colour match me for the free sample.

I haven't tried this product out in depth as yet, mainly as the claims are pretty impressive - a 24 hour foundation ?! The formulation is lighter than I expected, especially claiming such long wear. Thick and cakey foundations are a no no for me !

The sample bottle is adorable, and the spatula is great for applying onto your face without getting product all over your hands ! If you were wondering, my shade is 035 ...

Have you ever tried Lancome foundation? Would you be interested in sampling this product?

e.l.f SHIMMERING FACIAL WHIP - LILAC PETAL

Good Evening Foxettes !

This is the e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal !

It contains 9.5g, costs £1.50 and is available from www.eyeslipsface.co.uk.

The e.l.f website comes under quite a lot of criticism for online colour swatches being inaccurate, and i guess this is the same for this product. The name and swatch suggest a lilac tone but really, it is champagne with undertones of silver and is very wearable for any skin tone ! The e.l.f website offers many colours for this product which is great for suiting all customers needs. The packaging is small and convenient to pop into your make up bag, with the product itself having a pleasant smell of oranges.

Whilst using this product, I have found that it blends best when applied with fingers to highlight the cheekbones for that sunkissed sheen when caught by the light. As the main ingredient is water, it has a liquid consistency which means you only need to use a drop to get a desired effect - any more may make the face look greasy so BECAREFUL !

This product would be fabulous for people who have never used highlighter before and want to experiment with an inexpensive product.
