When Girl met Pearl

Ah, I will always remember my first meeting with Girl Meets Pearl. It was a surprise meeting, one I didn’t expect, but I gasped, and immediately fell in love. Shiny! Pretty! And oh so deliciously scented.

Benefit Cosmetics describe it as liquid pearl for the face. It is just that; so understated and elegant – it is fool proof for someone like me especially that can’t really work a regular liquid illuminiser without the fear of looking like a disco ball on legs. Nobody wants that.

Also, you know how I love anything that smells like dessert? This is luscious – smelling of raspberry and chamomile. Apart from making you inhale slowly, closing your eyes and bringing on the happy – these ingredients are known for their soothing properties. Not just that; but sweet almond seed firms and smooths, while sesame seed oil moisturises.

So much epic WIN in this metallic purplish pink tube – you twist the bottom a single click for a subtle sheen that you can pat on as a highlighter for cheekbones, or a couple of clicks to wear on its own for a more pearly glow.

I found that it was so sexy to use the tiiiiniest bit just above your cupid’s bow – if you look at any magazine cover; their lips are sexified (that’s a word, right?) by a highlighter just above the top lip, in the cupid’s bow. Girl Meets Pearl is perfect for this. I also used it (again, just a tiny touch) in the tear ducts (corner of my eyes) to wake up my eyes. Works like an absolute charm.

Benefit Cosmetics; I heart you. And with this product; you just make me feel like a pearly glowy blogging princess!
