REVIEW: The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder

I have never been one of them girls that simply has to have a bronzer in her makeup bag. I have always been more into blush than a bronzer mainly because I could never find a bronzer that was light enough for my skin. Until I heard about this little beauty from the Body Shop.

 

The packaging is a simple and light brown compact (which was a nightmare to photograph as everything was refelecting off it) inside there is all so a decent sized mirror. Apart from the little honey comb pattern embossed onto it it really does look simple. The compact is also sturdy so good for when you just need to throw it into your makeup bag.

 It comes in four shades: Light (the one I have), fair, medium and dark. These are fab if you are pale because you really can't get it looking 'too much' unless you literally pile it on.

The powder is really fine, easy to apply and is all so really easy to blend. As this bronzer is mattee it looks more natural than anything with shimmer in it. That being said when I first opened the bronzer there were a few specs of glitter but once I had sweep my finger across the powder they went. 

I sweep it across the high points of my face for a real subtle look of 'tan' or under my cheek bones (get that fish face out) for a more contoured look.

I have only been using this for a couple of week now and it has already become my favourite bronzer.

You can get this bronzer from the body shop for £13 which I think is a really good price this product is so good and once I have hit pan I am sure I will be buying another one.

Benefit POREfessional

So I recently got Benefit POREfessional after seeing everyone hype about it for ages. I can safely say that this product is worth thr hype!

 I have used this primer everyday since I got it. I am used to having my makeup slide off my face as I have oily skin but using this primer makes my makeup last all day! My makeup around my nose normally can go a little cakey which is not a look I like to go for but by using POREfessional this has not been happening.

As the name suggests this primer also minimises the look of large pores. The main reason for using a primer is to help even out any inperfections, and create a more even canvas and a good base for applying foundation. Primers are also good for making your makeup last longer and looking freash throughout the day.

The POREfessional comes in a retro looking turquoise tube with a small screw lid.

The primer it's self has a pale beige tinit to it, but when you blend it, it then turn transparant, so it is suitable for all skin types. It leaves the skin feeling silky soft but with a matte finish. 

I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a long wearing primer. I will be repurchasing this in the future, I can see this being one of favourite products for a long time!

Hope you enjoyed this post!
