Benefit Cheek Stars Reunion Tour Palette

I’ve wanted to try the highlighter Cookie from Benefit for ages, but always decided against purchasing a single of it as I always declutter the single boxed powders by Benefit, so I didn’t want to waste money again. Also, I have far too many single highlighters (OFRA ♥) as it is! I kept seeing Beauty Influencers on YouTube use this palette, so I decided to purchase it for myself.
You get five full sized powders inside a cute compact palette. You also get a free face brush which also fits inside the palette and a Tips & Tricks Card. You can purchase it for £53.50 ($60.00) from BenefitCosmetics.com. There is also a mini version available of this palette (Cheek Stars Mini Reunion Tour Palette), which includes; Georgia, Sugarbomb and Hoola for £26.00 ($30.00). All five powders are also available in singles and mini/travel singles.
Swatch Stencil: Stripes 7 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk
Dallas - rosy bronze blush (9g)
Sugarbomb - rosy pink blush (7g)
Cookie - golden pearl highlighter (8g)
Georgia - golden peach blush (8g)
Hoola - brown matte bronzer (8g)

My First Impressions
I love the compact packaging, I’m not interested in the brush and some of the powders are scented (smells lovely). Long ago I did really want Dallas and in person it is actually quite light. I always thought it would be darker. If you have a very fair complexion, you may be able to use this as bronzer. I’ve had Sugarbomb before and I was never that keen on it because it is shimmery and I don’t get the point of having several shades together in one pan. It is quite rosy and the shimmer is actually not that visible on the cheeks. It is still not really my sort of shade. I really wanted to try Cookie as I had heard it was supposed to be good. I have previously tried another Benefit highlighter and I wasn’t impressed so I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. It is very reflective and it looks silver/platinum and metallic. It also appears as though there is some glitter. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. It isn’t my favourite highlighter that I’ve ever tried, but it is a thousand times better than the last Benefit highlighter I tried! Georgia is new to me. Apparently it was released years ago and was then discontinued and now it is back. It is a shimmery blush, which again isn’t for me, but it does look pretty on the skin. I actually already have a mini of Hoola and I have had it before. I wasn’t a massive fan as I thought it always looked orange on me, but it doesn’t look too bad if it is blended out well. You definitely need a light hand and a fluffy brush for Hoola! Overall, this is a great palette to try different Benefit cheek products if you are on the fence about purchasing a single. All of the powders are actually full size in this palette, which is amazing and you are saving £81.50!. Who doesn’t love to save money on make-up? I can’t wait to play with this palette a little more!

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...

I decided to buy these and give them ago after hearing good things about them online, there is also a great shade selection. My current favourite lipsticks are the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and I wanted to see how these DOC ones would compare. Old Flame - warm rusty orange Camp Fire - burnt sienna These creamy matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t to be rich in colour, long wearing and dry down to a velvety, comfortable and matte finish. You should exfoliate your lips prior to application and avoid consuming oily/greasy foods once applied. You can purchase them for £18.00 ($18.00) each from DoseofColors.com and BeautyBay.com. They are also cruelty-free and vegan. My First Impressions The packaging is like the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and the actual formula of the DOC liquid lipsticks kind of reminds me of the JSC ones too. The formula is more of a cream rather than liquid, unlike the JSC’s ones. The formula comes out kind ...
