Benefit Hollywood Glo Finishing Touch Facial Glow
We’ve got bit of a thing for shimmer at beautyreviews, so got really excited about this product…
Benefit Cosmetics Hollywood Glo
There’s lots of shimmer to it and it has a bronze tint, but it suits most skin tones – as long as you don’t over-do it! A little will make a lot of shimmer, so dab on sparingly for the best look. It’s best used as a highlighter on the cheekbones, rather than all over.
We also like it when mixed with a liquid foundation, such as Clinique’s Superbalanced Make-up or Avon’s Ideal Shade – it seems to give a more radiant look.
One problem we had was getting it out of the bottle – as with most of the Benefit products this has fabulous packaging and the bottle looks great on the dressing table, but it’s really not liquid enough to be in a bottle, we’d have preferred a jar.
Sadly no longer part of the Benefit range, check out online discount make-up site, such as CheapSmells

Philosophy The Gingerbread Man Body Souffle
We had mixed feelings about this product….
Firstly, Gingerbread. What Gingerbread? We were expecting this to be that lovely warm gingerbread fragrance – not in the slightest I’m afraid. Instead it’s a very fresh smell – a hint of lemon, but not quite, it’s difficult to quite work out what it smells like.
After we got over the fact that this isn’t gingerbread – “it’s just the colour that’s gingerbread, get over it” – we actually tried it out!
It is slightly sticky when you apply it – it doesn’t absorb quickly, but it does apply evenly. If you can wait a few minutes after application it will leave skin feeling ok – just ok mind you, not fabulous.
The bit we liked most about this product was the shimmer – probably no point for the palest of skins, but it will give a nice subtle shimmer. The darker your skin the better the shimmer seems to be – always subtle though so don’t expect sparkles galore.
Let us know if you stock this product!
