Advantages: Long lasting
Disadvantages: NONE

I have used a wide variety of different foundations for my face, some of which have caused a bad reaction, others have just made me look like ive been tangoes! However i saw this on say at boots for £12 and decided to give it a go. I t really adapted to my skin tone, giving an air brush effect. It didnt feel heavy on my face as it sits on top of the skin rather than sinking in to your pores. It is available in a wide range of shades. I had compliments ...
...alot of the women at work also use this now. It really does give me the extra confidence needed. Id never stop using it ever.

Compliments like wow u look stunnin, amazingly clear skin were given throughout the evening, Not only does it adapt to your natural skin tone, it also covers ... Read review

Advantages: Perfect blushing glow
Disadvantages: A no-no for pimply cheeks.

-OVERVIEW- Benetint by Benefit is a very popular and very expensive cheek and lip stain. Stains are an alternative to blusher and lipstick, as they give a liquid stain to the skin and lips, in natural tones and shades. The advantage stains have over blusher are that stains are alot more long-lasting and give a more natural rosy look, as opposed to the powdery dramatic looks blusher can achieve. Benetint is one of the best selling cheek and lip ...
...-OUTLETS- Benefit products are available in most major department stores, and large Boots stores. As it is such an expensive company, you're not likely to find it in the local town shopping centre, and should try the higher market end, like major shopping malls and larger department stores such as Debenhams. You can also try Ebay but be wary as people tend to sell sample products in ofcourse sample sizes, and magnify the image to fool people. So ... Read review

Advantages: Lasts ages, blend for desired colour
Disadvantages: Pricey but good investment, danger of coco the clown look if not careful

A smooth cream blush for definition of the cheeks (a bit like cake foundation), it comes in different shades so which ever suits you best. And i sometimes use mine on my eyes and lips in an emergency, it can be a little dry on the lips so i wouldn't do it every day but needs must! It is pricey (£23!) but as it last such a long time its a case of future investment. You need to get your blending technique right with this one so it fingers at the ...
...clown like at first but the great thing is that if you keep blending it will look fab. You can define your cheek bones or add a rosy cheek look, and it lasts all day as its a cream. The best thing i've found that if you want to take it everywhere with you to retouch or add more for an evening look theres no need for a brush (and we all know those silly little ones you get in powder brush conpacts are useless!). The packaging is really funky, a ... Read review

Advantages: Good if you're only interested in light colour.
Disadvantages: Not v.good staying power, ltd colours.

...a waste of time!) but benefit offer far fewer colours. Not much difference in price until you notice how much less product you get benefit. I could live with less product if the product itself wowed me, but Show Offs dont. Maybe Im in the minority or maybe I spend too much on makeup to know, but Show Offs just dont cut it for me. Yes, the colours are pretty. Yes the finish is silky and shiny, but they just dont have the much needed lasting power ...
...shadow at 8am and have to scrub it off at 10pm and no matter what primer or method you use I cant get show offs to last. Plus the colour itself isnt versatile. There is no dusting a little on for a sheer look or piling it on for a more intense dramatic eye. They simply stand at one level. In short they're a great product if you're just dabbling in the world of eye shadow but if you want the real mc coy, just head to mac. ... Read review
