I love budget brands, but just recently I have treated
myself to some higher end cosmetics and have found some products from Benefit
that I just can’t live without. These
products are well worth checking out if you have some money to spare – they have
become a vital part of my daily beauty routine and a lot of them deliver
amazing results and have turned out to be well worth the price! My one piece of Benefit advice though – don’t buy from eBay. I am sure that there are
genuine sellers out there, but for every genuine seller there are at least 10
fakes and you just never know what you might get. The worst I had was a Get Even! That brought
me out in a rash. On my face. It wasn’t pleasant! So buy online or in store wherever possible – but also look out for
minis, mini-sets and offers as you can often get a hold of 8-10ml trial sizes so that you
can try and see if a product is for you!
So, without further ado...here are my top 5 miracle Benefit products:
Here's my review from the website, which pretty much says it all. This is the perfect smoothing, silky base. Makes my blackheads vanish.
I have combination skin which unfortunately
includes blackheads on my nose and enlarged pores at the side of my
nose. This product makes the pores seemingly close and vanish and when
finished with some concealer/foundation and powder, you can't see the
blackheads at all. I know this product only masks them, but that's fine
by me!! The minute I get blackheads out they come back anyway so I need
coverage and this product delivers. It makes the rest of my skin feel
silky but matte and my BB cream goes on top nicely, creating a flawless
finish. Highly recommended for problem/combination skin, even mature
skin (I'm 38).
This product is AMAZING. Easily the best concealer I have ever used. Creamy and blendable it gives complete coverage without being heavy or greasy and it stays put and last all day long. It tackles dark cicles quite well and isn't cakey; it also doesn't sit in lines of creases around the eye area. I recently caught pregnant and my skin broke out and was completely unmanageable - then I remembered my confessions of a concealaholic kit and used the concealer inside. It turned out to be Boi-ing in shade 1 and it was so good I bought the full size and will never regret doing so! Speaking of confessions of a concealaholic, this kit is a great way to try Boi-ing, Erase Paste, That Gal, lemon aid and eye bright for £28.50. Bought singly, the products would cost £74.00!
This one, I am not going to bash on about. I am just going to say - this is the best mascara in the world, the best I have ever used and is the UKs No. 1 best-selling mascara. Try it! They have a special offer on now - buy the anniversary set for the same price as a regular mascara and you get a free travel size mascara. I have mine in my handbag right now!
4. Foamingly clean facial wash
This is so lovely. It smells wonderful and removes every trace of make-up and dirt without having to rub and scrub. My skin feels so clean and so refreshed after using this; no tightness or irritation and a little lathers beautifully and goes a long way. Not sure? Try the b.right! mini intro skin kit - a snip at £10.00!
What a gorgeous lip gloss! Benefit have recent introduced lip glosses to complement their box powders and Sugarbomb is the prettiest gloss I've seen and worn in ages. It makes my lips feel really soft and as with all Benefit products, it smells lovely and a little goes a long way!
Aren't they gorgeous?? If I could, I'd get them all! All under £30 - these kits are such a good idea, plus if you are going away overnight or on a weekender, these are all you need. Get these beauties on your Christmas list!
