Benefit are never one for dull releases - always thinking of fun, easy and accessible products. Fine One One, their latest (and three years in the making) three colour stick that's a cream-to-powder blusher.
The twist up stick is designed to be swept over the cheekbones to contour and highlight. Blend-ability of cream products is where I shy away but Fine One One got a thumbs up - light, buildable and easily blended with a pat of the fingertips. Once blended provides a beautiful peachy pink sheen with the lightest shade catching the light (I have received multiple compliments already - score!).
Two problems - the flat top and my rounder cheekbones ended up with an uneven distribution of colour, cue using the different corners for a more uniform finish. Secondly around the three hour mark there was hardly any colour to be seen (still longer than most cream blushers I own...) but I'll be forgiving seeing as the colour is absolutely gorgeous.
Benefit Fine One One is released tomorrow and will be £23.50. Will you be rushing to Benefit counters to pick this up?
the colour really is beautiful and it suits you so well darling. I haven't even opened mine yet...excited! x
ReplyDeleteOooh looking forward to seeing what you think!! x
DeleteHi
DeleteLove the packaging of this
me too!
DeleteI'm a drugstore kinda gal, but Fine One One seems a bit 'meh' to me. I never thought face shapes would be a problem, but you're right! We all have different face shapes and bone structures, I don't get how 1 product can cater to us all. Not to mention its peach colour for contouring (?).
ReplyDeleteYes it was a bit hard to apply but I got round it! Yes it actually works quite nicely at defining :)
DeleteI really like the concept of this but I don't think it's amazingly practical. I do like the colour, but as you said there is a chance of the product being uneven when buying and it doesn't last all too long. If it was a bit cheaper than £23.50 I could maybe consider it, but for now I think I'll pass! The colour looks lovely on you, though!

Lovely packaging!
Deleteit looks beautiful on, but as you said, application sounds a little tricky. You must have tried illamasqua ceam blushers before? theyre staying power is brilliant! x
ReplyDeleteNo but now they have been added to my list! Thanks Hannah!
DeleteThis looks interesting! Shame it doesn't last too long & the application looks like it might be a bit tricky. Might be one to test in Boots or something first I guess :)
ReplyDeleteSam xx
Yes go for it!
DeleteI really like this product! I put a bit of coralista blush over the top and it looked lovely and lasted all day (tip from one of the benefit girls) xxx
ReplyDeleteAh perfect! Will be trying that! Thank you! x
DeleteI tried this out at an event in early December and wasn't blown away. I do like the idea of it though!
ReplyDeleteX
Ah that's a shame!
DeleteThis looks really cool, but I'd rather spend the money on a standard Benefit blusher. ;)
