There has been so many great releases from brands over the past month or so and I thought I would ~try~ and get it down to just five things I've really been loving and I'm not going to lie, it was hard, but I've finally managed to do it. So I thought I'd share with you my top 5 new-ish beauty releases which I've been enjoying recently.
Benefit Work Kit, Girl! £27.50*
Even though Benefit are not cruelty-free I do really like them. I'll admit the packaging is what sells their products to me most. We all know I'm a sucker for cute packaging. I have really been loving their new Work Kit, Girl! Gift Set which World Duty Free kindly gifted me recently. It contains 4 travel-sized products including the famous Hoola Bronzer, Rollerlash, Benetint, the original Porefessional and a gorgeous travel makeup bag.
I already know I'm a fan of their Hoola Bronzer and I'm happy to have it back in my life, but I had never actually tried the other 3 products in the kit. After trying out out the Porefessional and loving it, I now really want to get their new Porefessional Pearl Primer which adds radiance to your skin which I definitely need right now so I've added it to my wishlist. I also really like the Rollerlash, it's not my favourite mascara of all time but it definitely helps to lengthen and curl my rubbish lashes and the Benetint is very pretty, I prefer using it on my lips rather than cheeks but it gives a gorgeous healthy looking tint either way. It's definitely a great kit to buy whether for yourself or as a gift to someone who wants to try out some of Benefit's best selling products.
Makeup Revolution Conceal and Define Concealer £4
I had to include this, didn't I? The latest craze to hit the beauty world recently was this Conceal and Define Concealer from Makeup Revolution, so I had to pick it up and give it a whirl ASAP and I've been loving it ever since! I can't compare it to Tarte Shape Tape because I've never tried it, nor do I want to because it's so much money to drop on a concealer every month or so. But this is fab for £4, it provides high coverage and conceals my dark circles under my eyes in seconds. It does crease a little so I always use powder when I've applied it but for £4 you can't really complain!
Pixi Rose Flash Balm Skin Booster £26*
The Rose Flash Balm from Pixi is a total dream. I'll admit I was a little anxious to use it because of it being a balm, it is on the thicker side and I have quite oily skin which I'm sure you're all sick of my bleating on about lol but this is really nice when my skin is feeling quite drab and looking a little dull. It really lifts my complexion and makes me look more awake.
I Heart Makeup 24K Gold Eyeshadow Palette £8.99
This is really new to my makeup collection as I literally only got it last week. I've only used it twice but I can already say that it's a new fave. The shades are great for everyday wear and very neutral which I do love because brighter shades kind of scare me. Plus it has a subtle chocolate scent and cute packaging... what's not to love?
Pixi Rose Caviar Essence Serum £26*
As well as the Rose Flash Balm I've also been loving their Rose Caviar Essence Serum which I apply before the balm. It helps to brighten your skin and give your skin an added bit of moisture. It also smells lovely! I've also noticed that when I use this that my skin seems to clear up quickly if I'm dealing with a breakout which is kind of strange but definitely okay with me.
