Benefit Play Sticks *Review*

Heey guys!

I really loved the idea of Benefit (still do), but i had never actually owned anything belonging to them. So it was great to finally get something from their vast range of products!

A while back ,I got the Benefit Play Sticks and Benefit Erase Paste   in store and decided i'd do a little review on them. So firstly i'll show you what the packaging looks like..




The shade I have here is spin the bottle , but they likewise have them in several other shades.


This product does come in panstick form,however, I usually steer clear of pansticks as i find them really harsh on my skin. It does have a high consistency and you only need a little bit per application.

It also has pretty full coverage and a creamy texture (which i love). It brightens up your face and leaves a radient glow.

Sorry for the mess behind in the background

I have noticed that my face was quite shiny(residue, oily?) afterwards, so i did need to apply a generous amount of powder. I have been using this product for a couple of months now , and I am very pleased with it. I would definitely get it again but it is expensive. However, I was addicted to Revlon color stay for a while and that retails for €17.50 whilst top brands are only a couple of euro more. So if the money was there, it would be worth considering .

I did do a swatch on my arm for you guys, it's a yellowish color to even out the red pigments in my skin and it blends in evenly giving a clean, almost natural finsh.




What do you think of this product? I'd love to know.



Speak soon :)

Benefit -Erase Paste *Review*


Hello again Laddies and Lassies!

So i got the Benefit Play Stick and the Benefit Erase Paste from the benefit counter in Debenhams as a treat. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now so I hope my opinion will suffice for you guys. :) I'll talk about the Play Stick in another blog :)



The only issue i could find with the erase paste, is that they didn't have them in a wide variety of shades, but that's fine for me ,because I am as pale as a ghost. Anyway, mine is no.1 fair. It's full coverage, and its yellow based ,to get rid of those red patches and dark under eye circles. It's got a creamy texture to it too.I personally think it's worth the price. I wouldn't be the one to normally spend that much on a concealer -unless it was as good as this one! So it's a yes from me anyhoo.

It also comes with a "lesson" ,which is a basic tutorial of how to use it. There's a spatula in there too.


I think it is worth it and it stays on for a long time. However, this is just my personal opinion. What do you think ?


Hope you like :)

Talk to you soon
