Review: Benefit Powderflage

-------------------- PLEASE EXPAND --------------------

Thanks for SUBSCRIBING! Please be sure to COMMENT & RATE!

I usually record my videos in multiples, usually five or six in one day. If I am wearing the same clothes or makeup in more than one video, that is why. I upload my videos out of order which is why my hair and nails seem to change so often.

Prices and availability may vary by location. Please check your local area for more specific details.

Google is your BFF. :)

If i may make a great suggestion... as i watched your video the only complant u had was that it didnt "conceal" your undereyes... and i DO see your point... benefit DID claim it to work as a concealer, but honestly it is a setting powder for your concealer to brighten up the dark shadows.. not conceal them. so if you see it THAT way.. (And i DO because EVERY SINGLE VIDEO using the powderflage IS for setting concealer while brightening the undereye area) than you will find this product useful :)

@lesliebaybehh That wasn't my only complaint. Yes, I dislike this because it doesn't do what Benefit claims to do which is to conceal and brighten effectively, which should be enough of a reason to justify why I dislike it. *lol* Sure, it adds a slight brightness beneath my eyes but so would any lightly shimmery powder. However, that on top of the exaggerated price is also why I dislike it.

[pinkiecharm]

@MrNicholasLiam Your assumption is incorrect.

We really have different views about Benefit. I love that brand and I don't find it gimmicky at all.

Yes, it is overprices, I agree, but they often have sales on their website (Like today I checked it and they have their lip pencils on sale for 9.99$).

I own quit a few of their product and I enjoy them a lot.

I respect your opinion tho, not everything that works for one person would work for another.

I agree 100%, finally found someone who thinks the same. Benefit are defiantly hit or miss. They don't have a big enough range of colours at times and SOME of there claims are ridiculous. They rely on the funky packaging and expensive price tags! xx

I really enjoy your videos!

thanx

@pinkiecharm Okay good. I want to hear how you'd pronouce my YT username. Unless I wasn't the first to request a review of the BareMinerals Well Rested.

[cfagirl08]

yea I got it too but only because the clerk suggested it to me at sephora...which really surprised me...yea it was definitely a fail for me too.

[jenmarie95]

The product is the biggest joke, and the biggest rip off ever. It doesn't even work as a setting powder. It literrally does NOTHING. I was so irritated by it, but unfortanuately did not save my receipt to return it. I bought it because Make up by Tiffany D raved about it all the time. I should have known better because she also raved about FY...EYE which was another worthless product from Benefit. I like some Benefit stuff but they release some real clunkers.

[amberterrixx]

I totally agree, Benefit is a hit and miss for me too! Brush for this product was awful and scratchy, powder didn't do much for me either lol, thanks for the review :)

[Starlightserenity]

Thanks for the review, I've been considering this since it gets so many raves but I was worried it would turn out exactly the way your review says. Right now I've been using an off-white ELF eyeshadow with a very slight shimmer. I think that and a small fluffy brush helps brighten without the ridiculous pricetag.

jst wanted to say thanks for always doing honest reviews and not fibbing about every damn product that comes around being amazing

i had many similar experiences with some of the products you have tried (including powderflage) & im glad i know i can trust what you say <3
