Shimmering, colored powder beads with light diffusing particles and pearl pigments to brighten and add color to the face, cheeks, and decolletage.

I’ve been eyeing a pot of the Brush-On Beads over at The Body Shop for quite sometime now. Finally, I’ve bought one and tried the product out and I’ve got a thing or two to say about it. Colour is something I value in the use of makeup. I go for the more natural look, hopefully, I’d look fresh and polished. I love blushes and eye makeup. But let’s focus on the former today.

I reckon I’ve got three alternate forms of blushes in my vanity kit. One, rosy and the other two more on the “bronze” part. I like to highlight my skintone, you see. I am not fair but I’m not at all dark. That’s probably why I sometimes end up looking like I didn’t apply any makeup at all. I sometimes lack colour or the “vibrance” in my makeup application. Hence, my need to better myself or at least, find the right product, one that’s best suitable.

Using the beads have been satisfactory. I like how it creates shadows and emphasis on my cheeks. Application is easy. It comes with a sponge but I prefer to use a brush. It’s pretty useful to even out the skin on the face and the decolletage. Makes everything look very well polished.

I like shimmer in my makeup. I was not much of a matte person. Perhaps during my college days, yes. But since 1999, I’ve always prefered shimmer.

The Brush-On Beads gets a four out of five stars in my book because it offers both form and function. It’s a multi-tasker. It serves as a blush and highlighter. It also covers a wider area of the skin. Also, the two key ingredients it has are pretty much good for the skin:

Marula Oil
Marula oil comes from the marula tree, native to Southern Africa. The oil is rich in oleic acid, essential to the maintenance of healthy-looking skin.

Vitamin E
Vitamin E conditions, nourishes, and protects the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and healthy.

I also like the fact that it leaves a freshly sun-kissed look on my skin. It’s like I’m a bronzed goddess. Who wouldn’t want that?

Bento Beauty Tip: I use it mostly as a blusher, applying it on the apple of my cheeks upwards. Moderation is key since I don’t want to look to “burnt”, if you know what I mean.
