With the invention of the incandescent light bulb, a simple carbon filament on a current, Thomas Edison lit up the modern world! Though Edison was not the first to invent a light bulb, his model (US Patent 223898) was the first to be commercially practical.
Today, I'm sharing my thoughts on Benefit Watt's Up?, an aptly named, light bulb festooned highlighter that, like its inspiration, adds a glow to your face round the clock! I've been playing around with this lovely Benefit Watt's Up? mini, thanks to its inclusion in this year's Sephora birthday set.

Of the delightful retro references in the brand's makeup line, Benefit Watt's Up? is undoubtedly my favorite. The champagne sheen is gorgeous, plus the nod to Edison's 'bright idea' is enough to make this science-loving gal glow!
Thanks for reading! Have you tried Benefit Watt's Up? What are your favorite highlighters? What Benefit products would you recommend?
Love, Dovey.
My favorite highlighter of the moment is Buxom Divine Goddess Luminizer. A close second is theBalm Mary Lou-Manizer. From Benefit I like their Creaseless Cream Shadows in both Birthday Suit and Skinny Jeans. I also like their BadGal Mascara, but only the waterproof version. I think I need to give Watt's Up another chance.
ReplyDeleteIt's so gold! Which I bet looks awesome on you Dovey! I haven't been using highlighters lately-I feel like they emphasize my cheek wrinkles too much haha!
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering about this for a while, it sounds and looks very good so I think I might well have to grab it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little mini version of Watt's Up. :) I like that it is a great neutral gold, without yellow or brassy tones.
ReplyDeleteHey Dovey, I keep hearing great things about this one, but I really haven't checked it out yet! My favorite highlighter is the Chanel one from this spring. Liquid-highlighter wise, Becca Opal. The only Benefit product I seem to really like is the Creaseless Cream Shadows. I have Birthday Suit and Skinny Jeans. Both are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like that it's gold, actually! My current go-to highlighter is MAC's Whisper of Gilt, which is also gold. I feel like the white highlighters are maybe a little too pale for my already pale self, haha!
ReplyDeleteHey, that light bulb is made in Korea. :>
ReplyDeleteWatt's Up! is a great highlighter. I love that Sephora made it a birthday gift as even the small tube is going to last quite a while. (Happy birthday, Dovey!)
I tried to use this a couple of times as I got it in the birthday kit... but it does not work for my lovely NW43 skin. It makes me look shiny and ashy at the same time, not a good look.
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of this highlighter, I am very pale and it works wonderfully with my skin tone. I like the way it stands out but still remains quite subtle, compared to my other highlighters at least!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder why you like the benefit one. I find it so pretty and it seems to blend well with the skin. I would love to try it out too.
ReplyDeletei do like this! I prefer it as eyeshadow :) have you tried it that way? :)
ReplyDeleteWow the gold looks gorgeous! I think this would work very well as eyeshadow base. beautiful!
ReplyDeletei like something with a bit of pink and silver like copacabana, but i find this benefit highlighter very attractive. champagne color virtually is flattering on any complexion.
ReplyDeletei think stila has the "wattage" color code system, too. :)
