MAC Rose pigment. This is a rosey pink colour with a gold sheen. Its a very pretty colour but very frosty and it doesn't seem to apply as smoothly as I'd like - kind of similar to how MAC lustre eyeshadows would deposit colour.
No7 Stay Perfect eyeshadow in 40 Khaki. This is a beautiful olive green eyeshadow with a gold sheen. It is similar to MAC Sumptuous Olive eyeshadow in colour and probably in texture. It applies so smoothly and evenly.
Red Earth eyeshadow in GR105. This is a beautiful mint green eyeshadow! I don't have anything like it. It applies like a MAC veluxe pearl and it is very smooth to apply. Love the texture!
MAC Tri Colour Lipglass in Nice Mix Up. This lipgloss looks like a slightly burnt orange, and still bright at the same time. It has flecks of gold in it. So pretty! Only downside for me is, it is quite sticky, much like a standard MAC lipglass.
Benefit Her Glossiness lip gloss in Talk to My Agent. This is a dual ended product with two lipgloss colours. One end has a sheer hot blue-pink and the other has a sheer but sparkly mauve colour. The consistencies are less sticky than the standard MAC lipglosses, which is a plus for me! ♥ Too bad about the sheerness of the products though.
Rimmel Rose Sorbet lipstick. This lipstick is a frosty strawberry pink. It leans coral too. Very pretty! ♥
Here are swatches of all of them in one photo:
...And now on to Max Factor Lipfinity lipsticks:

I'm slowly getting into Benefit because of checking out Ai's amazing Benefit collection (which I asked her to blog about & review soon!), Benefit's beautiful packaging, and I'm starting to get bored of MAC. It's just the steep price tag that's holding me back though. Imagine, a MAC blush averagely costs about £17, and if that isn't expensive enough, a Benefit blush costs about £24! Ridiculous.
But anyway, What do you think? Have you tried any of these products? And what are your favourite products from Benefit?? ♥

i was looking at these lip markers just the other day,i really love them too! will definitely pick some up next week.

ReplyDeleteoh gosh its so beautiful. Just in time for my 2011 obsession with everything shimmery. Did you manage to find the same product in silver or white? This is probably useful for Lunar New Years party. Nothing better than a beautiful shimmery eyeshadow to bring out your new year's spirit!
