When I received this as a gift from a close friend, I was excited but nervous. My fair skin is prone to allergic reactions; especially my face, and I often steer clear of most deep facial cleansers as they can cause rashes all over my skin. However, my first impressions of this selection of mini products was exceptionally positive!
I love Benefit products and am often browsing through their website at products that I wish to treat myself to, when I get paid. I’m sure every beauty blogger has heard of Benefit, but for those who haven’t, Benefit is an affordable brand of makeup that pride themselves with products that create instant glamour and flawless beauty solutions.
This Limited Edition B.Right! Radiant Skincare set is a 6 piece intro kit to the collection; which includes a ‘Foamingly clean facial wash’, ‘Refined finish facial polish’, ‘Moisture prep toning lotion’, ‘Total moisture facial cream’ and the ‘It’s potent! eye cream.’ These products are used to make your skin refreshed and radiant, whilst gently taking off your makeup!
The first product in the set is the ‘Foamingly clean facial wash’ Normally priced at £17.70. Benefit says that ‘it is a 1 step facial wash to cleanse and clean the skin’ as all you have to do is apply a small amount when washing your face and rinse throughly. I found the product to be soft on the skin and perfect for removing any makeup before bed. I was surprised that this facial wash did not cause any problems with my skin and actually helped with my break outs!
The product I followed the facial wash with was the ‘Moisture prep toning lotion.’ This product helps to smooth your skin and improves the effects of your moisturiser. The ingredients of this product are filled with vitamin E and natural, botanical extracts to help clarify your skin. To apply the product, I found it best to use it over both the face and neck straight after the facial wash and found the results to be amazing! It didn’t cause any redness to my skin and perfect for sensitive skin! It is normally £23.50, slightly more than your normal but defiantly worth the splurge.
After the toning lotion, I used ‘Triple performing facial emulsion SPF 15′, I found this to be very lightweight and hydrating. This emulsion is used to enhance the beauty of your moisturiser along with helping battle oily skin, which luckily I do not suffer from but I still felt that it was a great underlay for my BB cream on days where I don’t want to wear heavy make up. The only problem was that it was hard to get out of the bottle! At £22.50 it is a good product for prepping your skin.
I used the ‘Total moisture facial cream’ forth, which contains mango butter and other natural ingredients to make your skin glow. I applied this all over my face and neck; it provided me with smooth and subtle skin, you couldn’t tell it was always dry all the time! It defiantly is a fierce competition for my No 7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream for Dry/Very Dry Skin, as it boosts my skin and also contains SPF 15! It is double the price of my No 7 brand at £29.50 compared to £13.50 of the no 7, but is still a lovely moisturiser that everyone should check out!
Along with the ‘Total moisture facial cream’ is the ‘It’s potent! eye cream’ which I found to be perfect for those dry patches I get underneath my eyes, making my eyes brighter. It does this by using botanical extracts to restore elasticity and firmness. This eye cream didn’t irritate my eyes and I loved using it on days where I have long hours at uni to hide my tired eyes! It is £25.50 and defiantly something I would buy again!
The final product in this set was the ‘Refined finish facial polish’ which is like a cleansing face mask that you use once or twice a week to purify and enhance the skin. Using clay and rich seaweed minerals it minimises pores and boosts radiance. When I used this I thought it was a lovely formula and helped to clear those stubborn spots that always come at the wrong moments. I also thought it helped my dry skin become more clear and with a spot of moisturiser my skin felt perfect! At £18.50, it is defiantly on my shopping list!
Overall, this set is a lovely way for you to try each of the products and get you started on the benefit range. It helps you decide which products are best for you, to change up your make up routine. I thought that these would be great for travelling and if you’re going on holiday. Even though the small samples didn’t last very long they have certainly made me want to buy the full sized ones!
I hope you like this little review on the Benefit skincare and I would love to hear what you think of the products and if there are any other benefit products I should try!
With Love,
That Floral Thing
