Review - Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream

Hello guys, so I am about to start a hectic week as I leave for America on Friday and have so much to do before I go! 

This post is review of a product I got free after buying some Benefit products and there is a full size available to purchase but this is my take on the moisturiser.

As with all Benefit items it had lovely packaging and was a great tester, specifically because its not just a sachet where you can use once. The moisturiser is in a glass container and has a good amount in it, I've barely used any and have used it 3/4 times to cover my face!

Firstly the positives of this product, the moisturiser itself has a lovely clean smell that seems natural as opposed to perfumed. This makes it perfect for sensitive skin because if your like me, I can't use moisturiser with added scent because it just flares up my acne. 

The consistency is also good, its quite thick but spreads easily so a little goes a long way but you still feel a good layer is covering your skin. This again is perfect for me because I use facial cream everyday regardless of what I am doing and so cannot afford to be buying it every other week!

Although the majority of things about this cream are positive, I do have one problem - it leaves me feeling greasy. This of course is not a great feeling especially when my aim is to put make up on top of it. So I tend to use this on no make up days as the greasy-ness does go away after it's fully dried in but I wouldn't like to add make up, its like putting foundation on a sweaty face - a big no no! However because I have really dry areas on my face its great for adding moisture meaning when I do wear make up it's easier to apply and looks better.

So for the greasy-ness, I wouldn't purchase this product at its full sized price (£28.50). I use Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream on dry areas and sleep with it on and it's the best product I've ever used so have no need for this particular moisturiser when I don't feel I can put make up on top!

Thanks for reading my review, I will have another post up soon!
