Advantages: Look like a celebrity every day...lasts a long time, subtle, striking, lightweight, too many! Disadvantages: Initial price *seems* expensive
...the price of 2 on BeneFit products in Boots so as the Moon Beam is the equivalent product to High Beam but for olive/darker skins I it’d be worth a try.
MOON BEAM
If you know BeneFit you will have come to expect of a rather strange name and even stranger packaging – Moon Beam obeys that rule. The outer cardboard box offers no surprises but when you open it you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d picked up the wrong product. Nail varnish? Or at least ... ...supposed to do? Well, BeneFit inform me ‘This golden apricot perfector illuminates and adds a warm shimmer to your complexion.’ I would have been rather stumped as to how to apply this had I not seen my sister applying High Beam because the only instructions BeneFit offer are, ‘Apply under makeup or wear alone for an overall glow.’
First of all, if they are meaning wear alone as in wear this on the whole of your face I would say, “are you crazy?” ...

Advantages: Lovely colour, easy to apply, can be used any time Disadvantages: Expensive, goes off quite quickly
...I know you can get Benefit stuff from most Boots or Debenhams stores. I thought it was a really interesting present and quite unique which is typical of Benefit who are quite an innovative brand always coming up with original ideas. I'm not aware that I had seen any products like it anywhere else when I got it and even now I've not seen many similar things. '''Packaging...'''
The packaging, as with all the Benefit products is gorgeous making it ... ...box with 'moon beam' written on the front in big nice lettering with a gold slash going through it. This is also printed on the top of the box. I don't usually keep boxes to things but I couldn't throw this away. The bottle is equally as cute, it looks just like a bottle of nail varnish and I actually ended up checking the box as to what it is because it looked so much like nail stuff! It is a clear glass bottle so you can see the gold liquid inside. ...

Advantages: adds a subtle shimmer and hint of colour. Disadvantages: pricey-but worth it! :)
...a blusher effect there is Benefit High Beam which instead of the golden glow offers more of a red look.
The old saying 'you get what you pay for' is true here. This may be expensive and an unusual - I don't think there are many similar products out there - but the effect is worth it. Cost - £14.99 Comes in a 13 ml Bottle

Benefit's Moon Beam
BeneFit say...
'Subtle pink and gold highlights add a natural glow to your complexion. A dot on cheeks, a smidge on your lids, blend and weee! The delightful "pixie" that's been hiding is showing off. It's about time... '
*Packaging and Price*
Moon Beam comes in a small chubby glass jar with a black screw on lid, similar to the more popular Benetint. When you unscrew the cap, you will find a wand and a brush. This product ... ...*My Recommendation*
BeneFit Moon Beam is a fabulous product. The subtle shimmer illuminates my skin with a beautiful warm glow. It's easy to use and although expensive and you don't need to use too much of it at a time so the product should last for a little while. It's an essential everyday product for the summer. ...

Advantages: Amazing results, can use in so many ways! Disadvantages: Price
...Then apply blusher, I recommend Benefit Holla Blusher.
** After applying foundation a line under each eyebrow then pat it in with your ring finger for the 'just plucked' look.
** Mix with your facial cream for a natural glowing look.
This is a great product and lasts for ages! A bottle will last around 9 - 12 months. Thanks for reading my review!

Advantages: light belnds well, must have product, well worth the cost.The more subtle the better Disadvantages: Try it out a few times first to get the right application before going out!
Benefit Moon bean can be purchased from most Larger boots stores, where it cost around £16.50. I purchased this item for the first time nearly 5 years ago and now use it everyday.
The bottle is 13ml, and will last for a long time as you only need a small amount for a great effect. The product is a Highlighter liquid, which blends very easily, it is light and smells delicious! (as do all Benefit products) It therefore shouldnt clog you pores.
It ... ...and teamed with Benetint, gives you a glowing effect.
The price is well worth it, as the bottle usually lasts me around 12months, and by this time there is usually soem left in the bottle but i choose to throw it out as do not want any bacteria to breed.
i would recomend anyone to buy this product it is a must have, especially for those days when your just not feeling to well (or a littel hungover) this will help to give you a fresh and dewy look. ...

Advantages: versatile, lasts long, Disadvantages: takes a little while to master the art!
...have been designing fun, fresh benefit products since 1976. Their mission was to create quick fixes that would reduce every girl’s frequent makeup dilemmas (Thank-you!!!). Since 1976 there are now over 1000 Benefit counters and their products are available in more than 25 countries. They have a string of awards under their belt, including awards from trusted names such as Reveal, Debenhams and In Style, therefore we know they are a brand we can trust! ... ...be used so many ways?!! You could also try high beam, but I would suggest that moonbeam is better especially for darker skin tones. High beam is better for really pale skin. Benefit is available in department stores and their website is also great, for a bargin visit ebay! ...

Advantages: Great as an alternative to High Beam, works with a summer tan! Disadvantages: Hmmmn, can't think of any!!
...compliment! Both of the Benefit products mentioned give me these comments from people and that’s worth paying £15.50 for!
Basically this product is a golden pink colour used for highlighting your features - be that your cheek bones, eyes, or wherever else you want to shimmer. It comes in a small bottle in the style of nail varnish, complete with the applicator brush you’d expect to paint your nails with! Simply dot onto your face where you want ... ...an outward circular motion with your fingertips. The best place is your cheek bones blended upwards into your temples, also try the corner of your eyes near your nose to brighten up your eyes and under the brow to open the area up. Top tips are to blend with your foundation for an all over glow or for subtle sexiness blend some onto your collar bone for an evening out.
Don’t go thinking that this is an expensive product at £15.50 because the amount ...

Advantages: Really nice effect, lasts ages Disadvantages: Again, pricey to start with
...My friend who worked on BeneFit counter showed me how to apply this, as i wouldn't have had a clue without her help.
She dabbed a little on the outer edges of my cheeks under my eyes, a little down the centre of my nose, and a little above my eyebrows.
Then blended in in little circular motions it just lifted my face from matt and plain, to glowing. It lsat for absolutely ages as you only need a little dab at a time. Pricey to start off with but ...

Advantages: "au naturelle beauty" straight from the bottle Disadvantages: expensive
...so i went to the benefit counter for a mini application lesson.
there are two ways to use moon beam. if you are the type of woman who puts her foundation on the back of your hand before aplying it, then its easy to mix, simply dab a blob onto the founation and mix it around. your skin looks dewy fresh and alive, even if you dont feel it.
alternatively, after foundation, bronzer or powder, put a few dabs above your cheek bones and along your brow ... ...in, creating a flawless look. i also apply it on the bridge of my nose and in the middle of chin, sometimes even on the sides of my forehead.
all the magazines advise you to apply a highlighter on all the places where the sun would naturally catch your skin. i myself have no idea what this means, so through trial and error i stick to cheekbones, brow bones, chin and nose
the key is to remember that less really is more. we are NOT in the 90s, so ...

I was bought this product for Christmas a few years ago and thought it was just a novelty product, nothing I would buy myself. However a friend of mine told me to mix it with my foundation and now I wont leave the house without it. It blends in a gives your face a glow. I think that it make me look more awake and refreshed than if I did not blend it with my foundation. In my opinion it is especially good for brightening your complexion and can use ...
