NEW| Benefit lolli tint

lolli tint

This new cheek/lip stain by Benefit is so so gorgeous. It's a sweet pastel purple treat, that is super on-trend and really flattering. Last summer I became obsessed with RiRi Boy (from Rihanna's collab with MAC), which was a matte lilac lipstick, that just looks stunning on. This colour totally reminds me of that. It's a beautiful violet hue, that warms up the cheeks and lips, without being too purple and gets me mega excited for spring.

It's sort of like a colour you could imagine a Cadbury's Mini Egg being (oh god, now I want some chocolate…), fresh, cute and…well, just delicious.

It also lasts, and then lasts some more. I strongly advise blending straight after application, or you could easily end up with some very funky looking lilac tribal-esque stripes on your face. Cool, but perhaps not the desired effect.

The Bottle

As with all the other Benefit tints, the packaging is as divine as the product. It is perfect to compliment a powder blush when applied beforehand, and the same with a shade of lip colour, for extra oomph and longevity.

Blended

As you can see its a beautiful sweet treat of a colour, and I personally know I will be rocking this all the way to 2015 and beyond. It costs £24.50 and you can pick yourself up one from here.

Purple Pick-Me Up

Bourjois Khol & Contour  - 86 Violet Malicieux

I was a big fan of Khol & Contour a few years ago, before I had really played around with gel and liquid liners, and this specific brand in black, was my absolute go to, for a smoky eye or a cat flick. 

When I saw it in this gorgeous purple hue, I couldn't resist picking it up as I was a fan of the quality of this brand for years. It is lovely. With green eyes, purple really compliments me, and I love to play around with different shadows, but this is beautiful for a really bold touch.

It is smooth to apply and longevity wise, you obviously wont get the same results as any liquid or gel liner, but it definitely is far superior in terms of pigmentation and lasts a decent few hours before starting to fade, then many pencil liners on the market.

On the Skin

As you can see, it's a gorgeous vivid violet, which is so easy to apply. It's not scratchy like some pencils, but not too soft that you lose control. It is perfectly beautiful to use and the result is fantastic.

You can pick one up yourself for  £4.99 from most good Boots.

Love,
