NIP + FAB VIPER VENOM MICRO BLUR FIX.



Anyone that knows me should know of my love for Nip + Fab skincare, but I've recently discovered something new of theirs, the Viper Venom Micro Blur Fix which is essentially a primer. It's one of Kylie Jenner's favourites and anything that's okay for her is definitely okay for me! I absolutely love the scent, and the texture of this product!

I use my hands to apply this, starting in the centre of the face and working outwards. The Viper Venom Micro Blur Fix contains Aesthetic Enhancing Polymers which give a soft focus effect to the skin, and help to reduce the effects of oily skin. It also contains Syn-ake Dipeptides which smooth the skins surface, and Liftonin which reduces the visual appearance of pores - this formula completely changes the appearance of the skin in one application.

I'm not usually a fan of a matte finish, or even a fan of primers that smooth the appearance of the skin but there's definitely something about this product that makes me love it. After application I've even noticed a certain sticky texture to my skin which means that it's really going to make my makeup stick to my face and it does!

This primer has definitely changed my opinion and I'm looking forward to using the entire bottle! Anyone else a Nip + Fab fan? I couldn't live without it!

HOW TO LOOK THE BEST AT EVERYTHING: BENEFIT.


*Published in order to celebrate my new job at Benefit Cosmetics*


Benefit is one of the worlds best make up brands; founded in San Francisco by two sisters - I think the brands been developed with the right brains - two women! How to Look the Best at Everything is one of their multiple kits with miniatures of a few products, and this kit is all about perfecting that base. It comes in three shades - light, medium and deep. I have the medium shade kit.

The kit contains a miniature Porefessional, which is an award winning primer. It's a pro balm which helps to reduce the appearance of pores on the skin - it can be used alone, underneath or on top of your make up. It's a skin colour product which means it blends seamlessly into the skin going completely unnoticed.

The product I was most eager to try in this kit was the Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation. The medium kit comes with the shade 'I'm So Money Honey' which is a perfect match for me. It's a light coverage foundation, but with the right application (a brush or a beauty blender) can become buildable and create a medium coverage. It also contains an SPF 25 which is brilliant for a foundation.

The Boi-ing concealer is an industrial strength concealer which is brilliant for concealing imperfections. This kit comes with shades 02 (the most popular shade of this concealer), and 03. This cream concealer can be applied with your fingertips or a brush and is easy to blend out. I would have also used this underneath the eyes but the shades I have are too dark - eager to try shade 01 for that reason!

The final product in the box is Hello Flawless powder. The medium kit comes with the shade 'I'm Cute as a Bunny Honey'.  This has an SPF 15 and can be worn alone for a satin finish. You can use the brush for a light coverage or apply with a sponger for a heavier coverage.

How to Look the Best at Everything retails at £25.50. It's available at Benefit counters worldwide. Have you tried any Benefit products? What are your favourite?
