Benefit Prrrowl Iridescent Mascara Topcoat and Shimmering Lip Gloss

I went past Benefit today just for a quick browse to see whether there were any new interesting products. They launched two new products, but the one that intrigued me was the new Prrrowl Iridescent Mascara Topcoat and Shimmering Lip Gloss. At first, I wasn’t that interested because I thought it was just another glitter mascara. But I asked the artist to try it on me anyway just to see whether it would show up. I must say that at first, I was not impressed because it didn’t look like there was any visible glitter at all. My lashes looked exactly as it had before, but I later realised that this glitter mascara is not meant to be “in your face glitzy”. It’s more of a subtle glitter that just catches the light when you blink your eyes, or look down. It’s a very pretty peacock blue glitter, and this the only colour it comes in. I think this should be used over your normal mascara and will look great catching the lights in a club, or even while sipping cocktails in the sun. The beauty about this product is the subtle glitter that catches the light now and then. The other end of the wand is the shimmering lip gloss. On the outside it looks like any baby pink lipgloss but when you swatch it on your skin, or apply it on your lips it has a iridescent blue sheen. Very, very pretty. I think it was after I saw the lipgloss that I was interested in the product. Its slightly sticky to the touch, but not anything as sticky as MAC’s lipglass. What’s great about this lipgloss is that the glitter is very fine, and you don’t have that gritty feeling on your lips that you may find with other glittery lipgloss. It does however have a watermelon-y fragrance, so if you not into that, then this isn’t for you. This lipgloss would look great alone, or on top of a bright lipstick.
