Its Monday I am back with more makeup!
Over the holidays, my friend and fellow blogger, Laura, gave me Bathina by benefit. I have not had a lot of experience with benefit's products, but the encounters I have had with them have always been pleasant.
Laura gave me Bathina and informed me she was not quite sure what it was for but it looked like my skin color and thought it smelled good.
I read the package, looked at the product and I was still not quite sure of its purpose other than to make your arms and legs look picture worthy. So as a side note, I am not the palest person who writes for R&C but I do have very pale legs, and anything to give them some sheen or "glow" is worth a shot.
So I go to work, I tried Bathina on my arms, my legs, my chest, I even considered it as a cheekbone highlight. While I can say it smells nice, like roses, it just did not show up. If I look closely, I can see a tiny bit of red/pink glitter. I honestly do not think it is my skin tone over powering the shine capabilities. The velvet pouf is not the best applicator because more gets on the pouf than on your skin. While the packaging is cute, it is just not effective for the purpose of the product.
I would have swatched this, but then I would just be showing you pictures of my skin.
My final vote? I think it smells great, I will be using it on my legs this summer in hopes of creating more shine when I am in the sun. However, I am not sure this is worth the purchase for the minimal highlighting sheen.
Have any of you had the opportunity to try Bathina? What were your results?
