Review: Benefit Some Kind-a-Gorgeous

August 29, 2012

Today I will be reviewing benefit’s some kind-a gorgeous. It’s a foundation faker that’s cream to powder. I got this size from one of the benefit’s sample boxes. It’s in the shade medium.

 
Isn’t the packaging so cute! It just draws me in.

This size doesn’t have a mirror on the inside. I’ve hit pan! 🙂
 
This product is a true cream to powder formula. It’s very creamy in the container and even on my fingertips as you can see in this picture.
 
However, as soon as you put it on your skin, it changes to a powder formula and disappears into the skin. I find that so cool!
Things I like:
-The wet to dry formula
-The cute packaging 
Things I don’t like:
– The smell of the foundation- It smells like old makeup that’s expired, I know mine hasn’t because I bought it about 6 months ago from Sephora
-The lack of shade selection- you can see that the shade doesn’t really match my hand because I’ve tanned during the summer

Foundation Ratings
Shade: 6/10
Coverage: 8/10
Longevity: 8/10
Finish: 5/5
Value: 3/5
Overall: 30/40 
Bonus: Smell is a big factor in this overall rating.

Rating: C
It has a medium coverage and is a good foundation. However, the strong smell and the fact that the foundation only has three color choices put me off. I would not repurchase. I’m glad I only got the small size.
Do you guys like this style of review more? I’m trying to put more pictures and less words! 🙂
Anybody a fan of cream to powder finishes?

🫎🍁 Don't miss this LIMITED EDITION release from @t 🫎🍁 Don't miss this LIMITED EDITION release from @tatcha! Inspired by the changing fall colors of the Japanese maple, this beautiful kissu lip mask now has a berry red tint. I love the moisturizing squalane and Japanese peach extracts. My dry lips have never felt so hydrated and soft. Definitely give this a try if you're looking for a smooth and plump lip with a hint of color. 

🍮 The packaging is also stunning with the maple motifs on the lid that makes this display worthy in any bathroom or vanity!

It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two weeks with a newborn have been full of challenges and adjustments. But it's nice to take a break and go through some of my beauty products as a break 🤭.

Here are my top three face creams for the changing weather especially if you have dry skin!

Swatched from left to right: clarins, drunk elephant, aestura 

👌  moisturizing face creams for dry skin

Clarins Extra Firming: I love the day and night version of this cream. The night is even more heavy duty and creamy so sometimes I use the day version only 💫

It's got a beautiful scent and amazing collagen technology to plump the skin!

Aestura Atobarrier Lotion: this is a newer korean brand thats available now at Sephora. Part of the amorepacific family, so you know it'll be good!

The packaging is very simple and unassuming but I love how this soothes the skin! Its quite lightweight in texture but I used this when I was sick and it saved my nose after blowing into tissue a gazillion times a day! 🩵

Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier: im always a big fan of drunk elephant. This one is my favorite face cream from the brand. I love the pump packaging and this is perfect if you want hydration and barrier support!
