Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation Review


Yes Mixbagers, that's right, I'm blogging about Benefit... again! You can officially start calling me Bene-dict (Geddit?!) from now onwards! The latest Bene-product to woo me over this time is the 'Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow' foundation and it's fast become one of my favourites for my everyday make-up! 




I'd heard about the Oxygen Wow through a few of the gals and bloggers who highly recommended it and decided it was time to branch out from my usual everyday fave, Colour Adapt by Maxfactor, and try it out. I bought the brightening foundation in the 'I'm so money HONEY' shade after testing it at my local counter and I've fallen a bit in love. It blends so nicely with my skin tone, whether au natural or with a bit of a fake tan on my face and always has great, even coverage! I have quite oily skin and can happily say it doesn't clog up my pores but feels nice and light after application! After blending just 2 pumps on my skin I really feel like it helps nourish and brighten up my complexion too so I'm hoping this bottle will keep me going for a while!
 I've been applying it with my real techniques stippling brush and using the Triple Performing tester I got given as a primer which helps it last throughout the working day!





At £25.50 it's a bit of a step up in terms of price for me for an everyday foundation (I usually spend around £15 and then bit more on an 'occasions' foundation) but at the same time I can really tell the difference and it has 25 SPF protection as well! I know there's a Hello Flawless setting powder too which I'm tempted to try, but I'm holding back till pay day for that one!


What do you all think of the Oxygen Wow? Have any of you tried it?
