First up, my latest obsession, Benefit Besties, the fantastic new mini make up set from Benefit that I've been using for the last week. Boasting miniature versions of Benefit's bestselling 'That Gal' brightening face primer (loaded with light-reflecting pigments to boost radiance) and Some Kind-a Gorgeous (a cream-to-powder sheer coverage 'foundation faker'), its aim, say Benefit, is to achieve "record-breaking flawlessness."
So how did Benefit Besties fare?
Well, I've fallen in love with it. I'm not blessed with naturally clear skin so I struggle to find make up that doesn't dry into cakey layers around blemishes but the foundation faker smoothed over my skin so easily, leaving it soft and silky with no flaky spots! I wouldn't say the finish was flawless but it was definitely a significant improvement compared to my usual foundation.
Top tip:
Smooth the primer over your face before building up the foundation coverage in light layers. I've been applying it using my fingertips but you can use a sponge or brush if you prefer. A major plus is that the sheer texture of the foundation faker makes it harder for you to apply too much in one go which helps avoid a patchy, unblended finish - great if you're in a hurry!
Benefit Besties became available from 1st August so add it to your holiday shopping list. I know I won't be without mine this summer! It is so cheap too at £9.50!
