Benefit high beam vs no.7 illuminator

Higlighter gives the va-va-boomness that extra glow on your skin and help give an illusion for more depth and a 3-Dness (wtf not even a word) on your face.
The benefit high beam retails in for £18 which contains 13 ml of products. The high beam has a pink undertone, the product may only have 13ml but u do not need much to give you that GLOW believe me it will last you a very very long time. The no.7 highlighter retails in for £10.50 for 30 ml only available in Boots. It has a peach undertone but boots do also have one with a pink undertone. Both are in the form of a liquid formula so its easy to blend under or over your foundation.

L- High beam R- no.7

High beam comes in a nail polish package with a brush applicator.

With the no.7 highlighter it comes with a built in brush where you can twist them on and off to stop the product from coming out.

Where to apply-
Apply on the apple of our cheeks, cupids bow, browbones and a bit on the t-zone, apply only little because throughout the day it can make you look oily rather then give a healthy glow.
Personally I love both of them for different undertone colours it gives. With the no.7 highlighter I love the peach undertone colour as it compliments my skintone. I dislike the applicator brush, when you need to squeeze the product out it can give out too much of it and goes to waste. With high beam I do also like the pink undertone colour and I like the brush applicator as you can use the amount you want. The high beam may be a bit pricey but I believe its an investment and you would not really require another highlighter. With the no.7, I think as its a drugstore product the quality of it is very good and I don't really know any other drugstore highlighters that has the same quality of the no.7 highlighter.

Botanics haul + review

Basically Boots had a 3 for 2 offer for Botanics products, my mum advised me that they were very good for your skin thus my mum and me stocked up on some of their products!

So far it is very skin friendly, I wanted to post about their products once its in my pattern for my everyday use as I wanted to test the product and see if my skin gotten better or if anything changed. Well firstly I’ll tell you guys what products I’m using.

1. Botanics Face Skin Brightening Cleanser- It is 250 ml of product and tends to remove ‘make up and any dirty grime that makes ur skin glow with health’. I personally bought this as I have some acne scars on my right cheek and hopefully by using this the scars will fade little by little, also I HAVEN’T BEEN using the products very long only been about a week so it might take a while for my skin to show results.

2. Face Moisturising Eye Cream- I know i’m still in my teenage years but I have heard that if you start using eye creams at a moderate age (obviously not at a really young age) then it can prevent you from crows feet and any fine lines around your eyes. The product is 15 ml, which is quite a lot for an eye cream. It states that it will skin feeling smoother and softer, which is basically what I NEED especially due to the cold weather as my skin gets very dry especially under my eye and when I put any sort of concealer to conceal my eyebags e.g. cream, mineral etc it gets very dry even if I apply just a teeny amount! Well thanks to this product my application for my concealers are easier to apply on and it doesn’t leave it dry and looking cakey! This is definetly a must have item for me!

3. Instant glow tinted moisturiser 75ml- This definetly feels light on my skin it doesn’t cover up my spots and dark circles but gives a light to medium coverage. It just feels so healthy and it has ginkgo extracts which protects your collagen meaning the protein will protect you prevent from wrinkles as it provides the skin strength and flexibility. The only bad thing about this product is the smell, i’m not sure if its due to the gingko in the product as the gingko trees are known for their bad smell, so that might be the reason, the closest comparison of the smell I can think of is of green tea. Also another disadvantage is that this is quite a dark colour for me and it only comes in one shade of colour. I think that is one of Botanics flaw, they only have limited of products.

4. Rosewater Toner- Removes any dirt or makeup on my skin without drying the skin and leaves the skin feeling soft. I absolutely love the smell -ROSEwater obviously smells of roses and it’s value for money £3.99. I use a cotton pad and use it on my face and neck plus the ingredients are all natural.

I highly recommend Botanics I sometimes think self brands like them get overlooked at most of the times, I trust their products as they are all natural and use plant extracts from their gardens also its inexpensive, so why not!

Well I do have some more products but I haven’t used them as much as I’d liked to give a review about, so I will post about them when i’m use to the product. Anyway prolly bored you guys enough
