Review on Benefit's 'Luv It Up' palette

'Luv It Up'

I recently recieved this gorgeous Benefit 'Luv It Up' makeup palette as a gift from my generous momma. The palette contains 3 neutral powder eye shadows, a cream eyeshadow and a lip gloss.

The actual makeup comes in a cute little vintage style tin, which is fab cause after your finished with the makeup, you can use it to store your precious expensive jewelery. So handy!

This palette is perfect for everyday use as it contains 3 neutral eye shadows that are suitable for daytime wear but can also be used at night time too, to create that ultra contoured smokey eye.

'Call My Buff'
This is ideal for all over, from lid to brow bone to create a base for the other shadows to sit on.

'Nude Swings' This gold pigmentated shadow can be used all over the eyelid, not passing out crease.  

'Thanks A Latte'  

I personally love to use this in the crease but blend it out a good bit above the crease to give an exaggerated '3D' effect, contouring the eyes.

 

Here are some swatches I took a snap of earlier.

Such natural pretty tones.

The 'Luv It Up' palette also contains a mini tube of Benefit's popular lip gloss 'Dandelion'. 

Personally glosses wouldn't be my fave, I prefer my matte lipsticks, but this gloss paired with my fave matte nude lipstick (Myth by MAC) looks absolutely devine and smells even better. 

Think vanilla/watermelon. Hello like! Yum! Who doesn't want to smell like that?!

Last but not least. 

The 'Creaseless Cream' eyeshadow that can also be used as an eye shadow primer and 

highlighter too.

Really? YES. One product, but you are getting so much more than a cream shadow. 

This cream shadow has a beautiful smooth, creamy consistancy and glides on so well and suprisingly stays put without creasing..hence the name 'creaseless', whitty ehh?! :)

For those of you that have a major makeup and palette collection, like myself..there is nothing that really stands out about this palette. Other than the gorgeous packaging, vintage style tin it comes in. However in saying that the products are luxurious quality, highly pigmentated and of course give that desired 'neutral' daytime look. 

The 'Luv It Up' palette would be a perfect christmas gift for a beginner or somebody that wants to create a glam look with fab products yet remaining natural, 'nude' and fresh looking.

Hope you all enjoyed, 

Until my next blog post..
