Benefit Coralista Blush Review

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all well? I've had a lot of fun in the past week attending events, getting to know my new role at work and seeing my family. I am looking forward to a rest at the weekend, though!

Today's review is all about a lovely blush from Benefit. This is a brand I love and I'm yet to find a product I don't like, however, my favourite is definitely the blushes (oh and Porefessional of course). Coralista is the newest in my collection and is it is a beautiful natural warm coral shade with a subtle shimmer. It's definitely the kind of shade you can wear all year around and as it gives a lovely natural flush to the cheeks.

The formula of Coralista is a compact powder but it picks up on a brush well and there is minimum fall out. The consistency is quite dry so you need to make sure your skin is well hydrated before use but it blends beautifully over the skin. I also love that it has good pigmentation but not so much that you have to put in a lot of effort to blend it. This means it's perfect to use on those mornings when you don't have much time.

The Benefit packaging seems to be either something you love or late and although it maybe isn't the most elegant and slimline I love that it is fun and different. Every product stands out and you can spot a Benefit product a mile off!

If you want to try Coralista you can buy it from Benefit for £23.50. Although, this may be more expensive than your high street equivalents Benefit is a good quality brand and you get masses of product for your money.

What do you think of the Benefit Coralista blush?

REN V-Cense, 1 Minute Facial and Hot Cloth Cleanser Product Launch

Hi Guys, as you probably guessed from the title of this blog post it's a very exciting one! Last week I was lucky enough to attend an event by my favourite skin care brand REN with the lovely Rachel from Beauty Queen UK and in the post I will be sharing what we got up to.

Being a massive fan of REN already and loving their Toner, Cleansing Balm and Glycolactic Face Mask I was very excited and couldn't wait to see what was in store. As we entered the REN head quarters we were greeted by the lovely staff at REN and the PR company. After a few drinks and nibbles the presentation soon began which very interesting as it covered the brand, existing products and new products that are being launched in 2014. It was really great to hear more details about the brand and the natural ingredients they use. It just makes me love REN even more knowing how much time and effort is put into each and every product and hearing how passionate people are about it.

In addition to well known products like the ones mentioned above David, who spoke during the presentation gave us a lovely insight into the new products that are being launched this year and we even got to have a play around with them. These existing products include:

- V-Cense Youth Vitality Day Cream

- V-Cense Revitlising Night Cream

- Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser

- V-Cense Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial

The two V-Cense products are a re-brand of the formerly known Frankincense Revitalising Night Cream which is said to leave you waking up to re-energised, smoother skin. Both are suitable for all skin types, are packed full of nourishing ingredients and have a very relaxing scent. These products will be released in March.

The Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser allows you to experience spa cleansing at home. It is suitable for all skin types and again contains lovely natural ingredients which sooth and decongest the skin. This product will be released in February.

Lastly is the V-Cense Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial which I can imagine this will be a product that will be talked about a lot this year. This definitely sounds like the perfect facial for people who have little time as in only 1 minute you are done. It is suitable for all skin types and is said to reduce wrinkle depth, increase luminosity and smooth the skin. This product will be released in March.

We were lucky enough to be kindly given all of the above products (thank you so much REN) so watch this space for more information on each as well as my thoughts.

I hope you enjoyed reading all about the REN V-Cense product launch and are as excited about the products as I am!
