Review: Ultra Radiance Facial Re-hydrating Mist.

Hello adventurers! Today's review another one of Benefit's skincare items. It's the facial mist that is supposed to refresh the face and refresh your makeup. This bad boy will cost you $26. Here's what Benefit Cosmetics says about it (www.benefitcosmetics.com)

"Even the brightest complexions need a quick pick-me-up now & then. Ultra radiance facial re-hydrating mist instantly enhances radiance with our exclusive tri-radiance complex to deliver immediate & long-term hydration."


I can tell you right now that I do not like this product. This is one item I would skip in the b.right skincare line. This facial mist in the packaging that comes in the box says that this can be worn over makeup-- don't do it!--- it basically soaks your face and if you dare touch your face while this stuff is still wet, you'll wipe off all your hard work. It's really sticky on the face afterward as well. If you weren't wearing makeup and you wanted to use this as a before the makeup to just refresh the face, it does cool you down, but I don't feel that the sticky feeling at the end is really worth it. 


The 'long-term hydration' really is the sticky-ness you'll feel from using this product. I have not tried other facial mists, but this one misses the mark. Sorry Benefit!!


Final remarks? I would not repurchase this again. So Pass.

Review: It's potent! Eye Cream.

Hey guys! Continuing on with my review series I have another Benefit skincare product and today it is the eye cream! This bad boy right here costs $32 and it's marketed as a eye cream that fade's dark circle's here's an excerpt from the Benefit website (www.benefitcosmetics.com)

"Your eyes can't keep a secret...they're the first to show signs of age & stress. It's potent! eye cream fades dark circles & helps smooth fine lines for brighter, younger-looking eyes. Contains a peptide complex known to help restore elasticity & firmness, a blend of hydrating botanical extracts including apple extract, known to help boost collagen, & loquat extract, known to help protect the skin from free radical damage." 


I use this product twice a day once in the morning after I put on my moisturizer and before I put on my primer and I find that this cream really hydrates the eye's but not to a over hydrated state, as many of you may know ( if you watch my video's) I have very oily eyelids and this does not make them oily nor does it reduce the amount of oil. It hydrates without adding to the mess(hah). 


As for the reducing dark circles, I feel like it does a teeny bit but with the amount of sleep I don't get with my busy schedule that I just combat any good that it is doing. I do notice though with the continuous use as in everyday twice a day and not forgetting or just not doing it that it does fade the dark circles. 


My final remarks? I love this eye cream, I haven't tried too many others but for the price of this(again, I get Benefit cosmetics at a discount because I am a military patron) I would repurchase it. 


If you know of any other eye creams that I should try go ahead and leave them down below and I'll be sure to try them!
