Benefit Hello Happy Flawless Brightening Foundation
Who for: Anyone who wants a flawless medium coverage that looks natural

First impressions: I think it is the wrong shade

After one week: Perfect

After one month: Am in love with how my skin looks

Stockists: Benefit, Boots, QVC UK, John Lewis, Debenhams, House of Fraser


I was colour matched after having my brow waxed and tinted by Emma at Benefit Stand, Grand Central, Birmingham and thought that the colour was a little too dark for me.  But I was so wrong.  In the previous new launch of a Benefit foundation (Hello Happy) I am a shade 1 but this time I was a shade 2.  Emma applied it using a sponge but at home I apply it with a Real Techniques foundation brush (I must get a new BeautyBlender).  It goes on like a dream, isn’t patchy after a few hours wear and looks perfect in every light due to the photochromic pigments.  It reduces that the redness on my cheeks, chin and nose but the best part of this foundation it doesn’t hide my freckles.  My skin tone looks even and with a dewy glow that a woman aged 44 must create with highlighter.  It doesn’t feel as if I have any foundation on, it just looks and feels like my skin but better, healthier.  Benefit does it again, creates another new favourite go to product.

 I found this brand on TikTok and am so glad I did.  Why? I am trying to grow my hair long and embracing the grey.  I noticed that I did not clog up the plug hole in the shower when I used this and my hair health improved immensely.  I apply it all over my hair and scalp then cover it in a shower cap upto two hours before washing my hair.  It has a lovely citrusy grapefruit smell. If only I could find a shampoo and conditioner that smelled this good I would buy it by the bucket load.

  I like to add one drop to a basic moisturizer and apply it with a brush to create definition and contour. This has been the best product I have used in this way as I am able to control depth of colour and where I want more definition. In the summer I might increase to two drops.

Bottle of Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water My hubby and I have been using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, he had read an article in a newspaper and wanted to try it.  This has a fresh smell and both of us like it.  It cleanses the skin well and copes brilliantly with Benefit Roller Lash, it removes it without much rubbing.  I would hold the cotton pad to my eye for a few seconds before gently swiping it away.  There is no residue or stickiness, the fragrance doesn’t last long on the skin once the water is swiped over the skin.  We use both sides of the cotton pad remembering to wipe behind our ears.  Think we will be buying more of it and other products from their range.
