It's no secret that my all time favourite foundation is Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua but one that definitely rivals it is *Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow.
Hello Flawless foundation is available in nine different colours including:
Ivory - Believe in Me
Ivory - I'm Pure 4 Sure
Champagne - Cheers to Me
Honey - I'm So Money
Beige - I'm All the Rage
Toasted Beige - Warm Me Up
Amber - I'm So Glamber
Hazlenut - I'm Hopelessly Hot
Nutmeg - Gotta Know Me
The shade I have is Ivory I'm Pure 4 Sure which is one of the palest pale and idea for people who have pink toned skin rather than yellow. This colour matches my skin perfectly at the moment and the finish is dewy but very natural. Due to this it would probably suit people with combination or dry skin more that oily but I would definitely recommend going to a Benefit counter to give it a try for yourself.
I find the formula of Hello Flawless to be one of the best on the market too because it is very light so it doesn't look cakey on my skin but if I feel like I need a little extra coverage I can build it up easily as it applies beautifully whether using a brush or my finger tips. This Benefit foundation also feels extremely confortable to wear as it doesn't actually feel like you have any make-up on at all and when teamed with the Porefessional Primer and Urban Decay Setting Spray it easily lasts all day.
The packaging of this Benefit foundation is simple but compact and I really like it. Unlike other foundations you can also see how much you have left which is perfect because you can work out how many uses you have which is really important.
I really love this foundation and when I alternate it with my Chanel one I feel like it's just as good. In the past I've always been disappointed on the days when I've worn a different foundation so I've tended to lean more and more on my Chanel one which works out expensive to use every single day. Although Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow isn't one of the cheapest on the market I love it because it's easy to work with and achieves a natural yet flawless finish on my combination skin. Without doubt I would re-purchase it!
You can buy Benefit Hello Oxygen Wow Foundation from a variety of stores including Boots and Debenhams. It is priced at £25.50 on the Benefit website and I think it's worth every penny!

I think i wanna try it, but i don`t` know if it`s good for my oily skin.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't have a matte finish so you may want to avoid it. It's definitely worth going in store and having a try though. X
DeleteI haven't tried any of the Benefit foundations, and although it sounds interesting the price is very similarly to Chanel, YSL and other premium brands and that puts me off a little, since I wouldn't have expected that from Benefit :o) Xx

Yeah it is pricey when compared to high street brands x
DeleteI have tried this its not too bad I do think its a bit of a swish as I you like full loaded coverage its to so fab and have to pop a little something else on the top .x
ReplyDeleteThis was half price on feelunique.com a few days ago so might well still be on offer!

DeleteHope you like it! X
Sounds lovely, I haven't tried Benefit's foundations as I'm always worried they won't be worth the price!

I was a little dubious but since I first tried higher end foundations I haven't looked back x
DeleteI really want to try this, it sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! X
Deleteive been dieing to try this but dont know if i can spend £25 on a foundation, i think i may just have to though. x
ReplyDeleteMaybe go in store and try it out first to see if you like it. I'm not sure if they do samples or not.
DeleteHope you like it! X
Ooh I've always been intrigued by this foundation. I love the idea of light but buildable coverage xx
ReplyDeleteIt's my favourite type of formula x
DeleteI really want to try this, I love the powder x
ReplyDeleteBeautyqueenuk xx
You definitely should, it's lovely! X
DeleteI love the formula of this foundation, but found the pump difficult to work with when I tried it out at a counter recently - it wasn't very smooth and kind of 'juddered' down, resulting in waaaay too much product coming out! Because of that it remains a no-buy for now x
ReplyDeletewww.madeleineslittleblog.blogspot.co.uk
Oh no that's not good! Maybe that was a faulty one because my pump has been fine so far :) fingers crossed it stays that way x
DeleteI had Believe in Me Ivory when it first came out back in 2012 and I wasn't impressed :(
ReplyDeleteFor the palest shade it seemed way too dark for me. I may have to give the other Ivory shade a try before writing it off completely. Lovely review by the way - I wish I could take pictures as clear as these!!
