Benefit have been busy creating new products this summer, and one of their latest offerings to arrive in the US (it won’t hit the UK until October, unfortunately) is ‘Girl Meets Pearl’, which they describe as “liquid pearl for face” and I describe as “highlighter”.
Packaged in the same kind of tube as Benefit’s ‘That Gal’ primer, this looks to me to be a more golden-toned version of their bestselling High Beam, or its sister product, Moon Beam. Now, I adore High Beam, and would be hard pressed to find a good reason to purchase this one instead of it, but if you’ve found that the High/Moon duo aren’t quite the right shade, then this could well be the answer. Wear alone or over makeup to add a “luminous” glow anywhere you need it, and layer it up for a more obvious glow.
This is $30 from the Benefit website – click here to buy it.

Same packaging as That Gal? Uh oh. When mine kept running out too soon, I gave the tube a whack to look inside, and it turns out that the product is only contained in that tiny top section; not even to the label, the first few cms before the ridge. Now maybe that’s supposed to last you a long time, but it is rather deceptive. The rest of it is just a twisty mechanism. Beware!
