With the launch of Benefit's new Brow collection looming; I thought today I'd join in with the Bene-party and bring you my top 5 Benefit products of all time. When I first got into makeup; buying anything from Benefit seemed like a world away. I was entranced by the colours and the sheer beauty of each product and was only able to, a year ago, finally afford to buy myself my first high end product: Benefit's Roller Lash...
ROLLER LASH
There is nothing that I can say about this product negatively. I have raved about this many many a time but the love affair all started with a free sample in Elle magazine just after the Roller Lash launch at the start of 2015. My lashes have always been long but adding volume was a problem. I have never been happier with a mascara before and we have just gone past our 1 year anniversary together and expect that to continue until we're both old and grey.
BOI-ING CONCEALER
I've said it a thousand times but I'll say it again. Acne. The bane of my teenage existence. I can't explain to you the amount of redness and scarring on my face from a few years ago that seemingly nothing could cover. Until I made a late night spontaneous purchase from Debenhams and along came this baby. I actually received a sample of shades 1 and 2 shortly after buying this so have been using shade 1 since and am yet to touch the full sized product. Even the tester (From Benefit's Selection Box 2015) has lasted so so so long as a little really does go a long way and doesn't look half used yet either!
HELLO FLAWLESS FOUNDATION
TRIPLE PERFORMING FACIAL EMULSION
The bottle is gorgeous. Not something you should really consider when purchasing, but something to enjoy as a bonus. I use this on those days when I don't want a full face of makeup and would rather focus on helping my skin out rather than hinder it and packing the pores. Its a lovely formula and gives moisture to the dry patches. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for anyone with very oily skin as it doesn't seem to be able to control the oiliness too well. Overall however it's a lovely product!
THEY'RE REAL TINTED PRIMER
The They're Real mascara is the UK's bestselling mascara so it was hard to see how this product could go wrong. It is a brown shade, a primer for mascara but could also be used as a mascara itself for those with finer/fairer lashes. I use this before my Roller Lash and adore the combination! It makes sure that the lashes aren't clumpy and does last all day!

Post a Comment
I shall repeat myself for the 1 millionth time. Foundations are my weakness. I'm always on the hunt for my perfect match and have found a few gems along the way. The L’Oreal Nude Magique Cushion has just been released and I was more than intrigued when I saw it!
The packaging is truly beautiful. Pink and classic. For that alone I give it 10/10.
I love the concept of this product. The 'cushion' part means that you cannot waste too much. I also loved using the sponge for application. This made it super easy but it was also very easily made dirty and the sponge absorbed it very easily. This just means that it will need to be washed very frequently. Unless you use a brush!
The product itself is the sheerest thing I've ever used. This can be interpreted in two ways. For the summer it will be perfect. It's so light and you can't feel it on your skin at all so great if you want that low coverage look. However, I being someone who has slight discolouration on my cheeks, acne and scars on my face, want a little bit more. It was slightly disappointing to have something that can barely be seen but I did love the formula!
I'm hoping that by the summer, my skin will be a little more clearer and this foundation will make more of an impact to me. Overall I would give this a 6/10 for personal reasons, being that I want something heavier! Not a bad product overall!
*Have you tried the product? Does it work for you?*
