Just when I was feeling a bit bored and fed up, this little beauty arrived in the post. Super cute and super practical, here’s a look at the Benefit Complexionista palette for concealing, contouring, highlighting and bronzing. I have all the info with photos and swatches for you.

I like everything about this. The cartoon girl is a cute as a button, the wording on the packaging – “READY IN 5… and other lies” – makes me smile and the product edit inside is right up my street.

I am feeling all kinds of good about this palette!

You can mix the two concealer shades together to find your match, although I think No 1 on its own is fine for me. Original Hoola is great for contouring as it is lovely and cool-toned, and you can use Hoola Lite all over to softly warm everything up. Also, the reverse works too if you want a softer contour and more of a bronzey look.

I absolutely love Dandelion Twinkle highlighter. It is so pretty. In fact, I had forgotten how gorgeous it is because I have way too many highlighters. It adds such a wonderful radiance to the skin and can be layered depending on the intensity you want. If you pop it on top of  cream highlighter Watt’s Up (included in the kit), you’ll get a really long lasting glow.
