I don’t do face shimmer. I don’t like how it looks, I don’t like that it makes you look shiny and greasy. I can’t bear a false deer-in-the-headlights look.
I’d heard about Benefit’s ‘One Hot Minute’ a few times before I tried it, and kept reading that it was a healthy glow. When I opened up the pot my heart sank, “great” I thought, “another shimmery face glow for 18 -21 year olds only”
I think I’ll have to eat my words. It does look shimmery and shiny, but when you apply it, it doesn’t look how you’d expect it at all! It just gives a healthy glow, that ‘I’ve been for a run on the beach, aren’t I healthy’ glow, the one we all want, but most of us never have.
What makes it great though is that the busy Mum or the woman who wants her extra 20 minutes in bed can also look great, a quick swoosh of this, some mascara and lipgloss and you’re good to go!
Yes, there is the potential to overload and look greasy, but as I’m the cautious type, a light dusting goes a long way, and just makes you look good.
Over the decollete you can load up more, in fact, you really ought to otherwise the risk of looking as though you’re having a hot flush is there.
I like how this is so versatile, it looks particularly stunning dusted onto the tops of shoulders, making them look bronzed with a healthy shine.
One Hot Minute? Absolutely, ready in One Hot Minute!

Am so glad you’ve done a review on this. I keep going onto the Benefit website and adding it to my basket but then never checkout as I’ve been unsure about it. But now that you’ve done this review I’ll definitely be getting it. Thanks.
Janine, I’m the same. I do lots of online virtual ‘window’ shopping of stuff I’d love to have, but I don’t buy very often as I don’t know what the stuff’s really like. I’m glad I found here, as its nice to read a genuine review.
