MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle | Review

I know it's been like ages and ages since I last posted, but I had lots of things to sort out and stuff. Anyway, I'm back now and definitely have enough time to do some blogging business. I decided to write this post about something I have absolutely fallen in love with and been thinking of since I got MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade and surprise, surprise it's the famous Soft and Gentle. I have to say I had quite high expectations after seeing all the hype it's getting (I actually haven't come across any negative posts or videos about it). And it absolutely lives up to everything it's known for. It adds a nice, subtle sheer to the face and has a glowy (in a good way) finish. Soft and Gentle is a champagne colour highlighter enriched with a hint of pink and gold shimmer. It's well-pigmented so it needs a light hand when applying, a little goes a long way with this product. I usually use it for the inner corners of my eyes, brow bones and cheekbones, and I love it's staying power, all day with maybe one little touch-up and that's after like 6-7h. I can't really say enough good things about Soft and Gentle, it's one of my favourite products ever and I'm so glad I tried it out. Definitely re-purchase and recommend.

Benefit Fine One One

So I have finally added Benefit's Fine One One to my makeup bag thanks to my boyfriend's aunt, Pauline (thank you so much for this). First of all, I never actually used a cream blush let alone a highlighter or a contour. I was a little worried I wouldn't like it but was glad to try it anyway, and I'm so happy I got the opportunity. It's just brilliant, a quick and easy way to highlight, blush and contour all in one without too much effort of using different brushes (not that I mind but Fine One One is a great time saver). All it needs is a sweep from the apples of the cheeks up to the temples and light blending - I really didn't think it would be that simple. I like all three shades included as well - a sheer pink champagne, a watermelon pink and an orange based coral. The cherry on top is the packaging, really nice rose gold case wish a twist up mechanism. I'm so impressed with this product, I now know what all the fuss is about and it is now a must have in my makeup bag.
