00:02 Coffee break with me.
00:03 Woo, hi guys.
00:04 Welcome back to my channel.
00:05 How are you today?
00:07 If you are new to my channel, welcome.
00:09 This is the land of long introductions.
00:11 So like always, I will annotate where the actual meat
00:15 of the review starts so you don't get frustrated.
00:20 Sometimes people do.
00:21 Sometimes we're in a hurry,
00:22 but we still wanna get our beauty videos in.
00:24 You know what I mean?
00:25 Anyway, so today I'm here with a review
00:27 on the Benefit Shy Beam.
00:30 And this is the itty bitty tiny little size
00:32 because it has not, to my knowledge,
00:36 been released in full-size version yet.
00:39 In fact, it's only available
00:42 in the Benefit Operation Pore Proof Kit.
00:45 And I did a review on this a couple weeks ago.
00:48 I will link it in the description box below.
00:50 It goes right here.
00:51 And this is kind of like a sneak peek
00:53 at this brand new Benefit product.
00:55 If you guys are fans of Benefit,
00:56 Benefit has a lot of little jar products like this
01:00 or little container products.
01:02 They look like nail polish almost.
01:03 And they have High Beam,
01:05 which is a really pearly, shimmery highlight,
01:10 liquid highlight or liquid illuminator
01:13 that's good for highlighting areas of the face
01:16 or mixing into your foundation.
01:17 So what they did, they were like, you know what, listen.
01:20 All highlighters are shimmery, metallic, pearly,
01:23 you know, very attention-grabbing.
01:26 And some people want to highlight areas of the face
01:31 without the metallic or the shimmer or the glitter.
01:34 They want to brighten up areas of the face
01:37 and they want that area of the face to look awake
01:40 without, you know, the disco ball.
01:43 Some people don't like the disco ball.
01:44 Me, personally, I like to look like I got stomped
01:48 and trampled on by a family of unicorns
01:51 and all of their relatives.
01:53 Like, that's just my preference.
01:55 You guys know I like my nose to look like the albino
01:59 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
02:00 That's just how I roll.
02:01 But some people don't like that.
02:04 And so when I learned about this product,
02:06 I was like, ugh, that's just gonna be like a concealer.
02:09 It's not gonna be anything special.
02:11 And it's not like a concealer at all,
02:14 but there are similar products to it on the market already.
02:19 The, what are the names of these?
02:22 Sorry, I should have been more prepared.
02:27 Very similar to this is the It Cosmetics,
02:31 I don't know what is this called.
02:33 This is one of those like dual-sided doe foot applicators.
02:37 It has a yellow on one side and then like a pink
02:40 on the other and it's for brightening the under eye.
02:42 I don't know what this is called.
02:43 I think this is like an instant eye lift
02:45 or something like that.
02:46 And then the Prep and Prime Radiant Rose,
02:51 the pink one from MAC, is very similar to this as well.
02:54 But because this is from Benefit
02:56 and they've never done anything like this,
02:58 it's definitely a product worth checking out
03:00 if you are a fan of the brand.
03:01 So I'm guessing this is probably going to cost $26,
03:05 which is the same price of the other products
03:07 that come in that same type of packaging.
03:10 And so the packaging itself says
03:12 that it's a nude pink matte radiance highlighter.
03:15 So you wanna put it on places of the face
03:18 where you want to brighten or look more awake.
03:21 And I'm going to insert a little video
03:24 or clip of me using it and you'll see kind of how I use it.
03:28 The first thing that I do is I take
03:30 a salmon-colored concealer and I just apply that
03:33 in the very inner corner, lower inner corner of my eye
03:37 where the darkest part of my panda eyes are.
03:39 And then I do almost like an upside down check mark
03:45 because I don't do like the triangle all the way down
03:49 to like the lower portion of my cheeks.
03:51 But what I prefer to do is I do like almost
03:52 like if it was a check mark right below
03:56 like the darkest area of my eye
03:59 and then I go out up towards the temples.
04:01 And I feel like that gives me like an instant facelift.
04:04 So it's a really brightening product and I really like it.
04:08 I love that it actually sets too.
04:10 If you didn't wanna set this with the powder,
04:12 you don't need to.
04:13 The formula is just absolutely delicious.
04:16 I don't notice any discoloration or anything like that
04:19 when I'm wearing the product.
04:20 This is not going to be a limited edition product.
04:22 It's a product that is permanent to the Benefit line
04:25 and it will be available, I'm thinking soon,
04:29 if not when this video goes up.
04:30 Honestly, I'm not sure when the release date
04:32 for this product will be, but if you're like me
04:34 and you're kind of impulsive and you want
04:36 that like satisfaction right away,
04:38 the only way to get this product is to get the little kit
04:42 that I showed you guys and that's exclusive to Sephora.
04:45 So I will link that in the description box below.
04:48 If this is available on its own already,
04:49 I will also link that in the description box below.
04:52 I really hope you guys enjoyed this video.
04:54 It's kind of quick to the point,
04:55 but I definitely love this product.
04:57 But like I said, it's not an innovative product.
04:59 It's not a brand new invention.
05:01 There are a lot of brands that already have
05:03 similar products to this.
05:04 So if you can find a brightener that's sort of like
05:07 a pink shade, a matte pink shade,
05:09 it's the same type of concept.
05:11 But if you are a person that loves to look awake
05:16 with a bright face, but you don't like the shimmer,
05:19 or you have oily skin, because I've heard a lot of times
05:22 that people with oilier complexions don't like
05:24 the shimmery highlights because it just makes you look
05:27 even more oily throughout the day,
05:29 this might be a really good alternative.
05:31 Anyway, so all the information will be listed
05:33 and linked in the description box below.
05:35 Anyway, I really hope you guys enjoyed this video.
05:37 Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
