This was the last beauty item from the Snow White Kit. It was also another deluxe sample sized product.
This was one of the more interesting products in the kit. It's a stain for your cheeks and can double as a stain for your lips. It's very natural looking and wearable but it takes some time getting used to. It's extremely light and easy to put on.
It's not quite as pigmented as I'd like because I have to layer it to get the colour I want, and I don't have that much time to put on makeup most school mornings. It also leaves an odd feeling after, while you wait for it to dry. The only way I can describe it is like, waiting for tacky nailpolish or gel deodorant to dry but on your face.
The lasting power on this is great. I like to put a little on, let it dry, and then apply a powder over it. Once the powder wears off, this product is still there and it looks better with my fading makeup.
Overall, I think it's a good product - best if you don't wear much and want a little pop of colour or to wear in summer because it's extremely light. I don't know if I'd buy it again, but I will definitely try it out as it gets warmer.

Benefit: High Beam
This was one of the samples I got in the beauty kit. It's the Benefit High Beam.
High Beam is really blendable and easy to use. It's very natural looking and comes in a small bottle with a brush. I find that it looks best without foundation or powder. It has a pinkish tint -for cool tones- and is flattering on most skin tones. It's a liquid highlighter and sets very quickly.
Unfortunately, for the money, I don't love this highlighter. I heard great things about it and really wanted, to find out that I have better highlighters. It doesn't exactly give me the dewey effect that I want unless I go barefaced and I don't care for the feel it gives when layered over foundation. It's a good highlighter, not a great one. I'll stick with the bareMinerals one.

Benefit: Snow White & the Huntsman Beauty Kit
This is a really cool beauty kit. It was released for the "Snow White and the Huntsman" movie but is still available in stores. It's a cute idea and the products cater to a Snow White type look. It's $40-45 and carries four products- two are full size and two are sample sized.
Inside is the Benetint, Badgal Lash mascara, Highbeam highlighter, and Porefessional primer. The mascara and primer are the full sized products. I wish I had known this when I bought it because I bought it thinking that the it was the other way around. However, knowing what I do now, I'm quite happy with the full sized Porefessional. I would have also liked a full sized Highbeam instead of mascara.
When you first open it there is some paper Easter grass, which is a nice touch. The bag is easy to clean and a nice size for a make up bag. It's pretty, zips, and has a sturdy handle.
I will be writing reviews on each of the products.

I'm also thinking about starting a contest, but I wanna hear from my readers! Any good prizes?
