I received
my first Benefit product in an edition of Glamour magazine last year, which was
porefessional’ the primer to apply before or after applying foundation to make
your face pore free and flawless. I was so impressed with my little sample,
that when it came Christmas time 2012, my boyfriends sister was kind enough to
buy me Benefits- Finding Mr Bright set which included four travel size products
in a beautiful pink box.
By May of
this year I saw a status on the Benefit Facebook page about one of their newest
sets ‘Primpin with the stars’ releasing 2 weeks early for Benefit lovers to
purchase online at Boots and guess what? I couldn’t keep my paws off. Running
low on my Finding Mr Bright set it was the perfect excuse to purchase Primpin
with the stars at £26.50.
The product
includes six ‘All time greatest” fake its:
1. Stay don’t stray- Stay don’t stray is
used as a concealer under eyelids and on the top of eyelids to keep heavy eye
shadows looking fresh all day. I personally think this product is great. When I
first used ‘Primpin with the stars’ I stuck to the products I knew but when
reading the tips and tricks guide included in the set, I used stay don’t stray
when applying my smokey eye effect. With my busy schedule of university work I
don’t have much time to re apply my eyeshadow so this is the perfect product
for girls on the go.
2. Porefessional- As I mentioned
previously, since I bought Glamour magazine and received a small sample, I was
hooked by this product and I use it every day. I apply mine after my foundation
to make my face looking soft and pore free. Even after a tough day running
around, it keeps my face looking flawless and helps me stay confident about my
skin.
3. Some kind of gorgeous- This little
cream is a foundation faker. It looks like you are wearing a foundation without
the drama of spending time to blend it in. The cream is for medium complexions
so be careful if your skin is a little paler as it could make your skin a bit
orange. I think this is a great product when I am having a lazy day. A touch of
this and some mascara finishes off my natural look.
4. Bene-tint- This colourful pot can be
used on lips and cheeks to give skin and lips a natural looking rosy glow. I
must warn though if applied wrong this product can be a disaster. When I first
used the product I applied a few strokes on to my cheek bones and unfortunately
I didn’t rub it in quick enough. Safe to say I looked like one of Santa’s
little helpers with my stained cheeks. I had to go out that day too and my
friends commented thinking I had some skin reaction to something. Benefit also
does a very similar product called Posie- tint which I prefer as it gives a
more natural glow without staining my hands too.
5. Girl meets pearl- This liquid
luminizer is a perfect finisher after using Bene-tint or my alternative
favourite Posie- tint. It calms the bright pink look down a bit and gives my
cheeks a lovely flushed glow.
6. They’re real- I cannot fault this
mascara at all. The applicator wand is the best I have seen which makes it
super easy to apply and gives lashes a boost in the right direction to keep
them looking long and dolly like.
