New Years Makeup FT Life of the Party Benefit Tin

Hello darlings.

I really enjoyed making my Christmas makeup looks so i decided to make a little New Years Eve one. I received this Benefit tin for Christmas (Thank you dad!!) and i though it would be fun to see if i could create a look using mostly this tin. I had to add a couple of items as it didn't include any base products or anything for my eyebrows as the eye shadows have shimmer in! I also decided to add a little eyeliner because that is my go to look! I hope you enjoy :)

Products:

I first applied a light layer of the PORE Fessional as my primer to help smooth my skin and keep my makeup in place all day. The tin doesn't contain any base products so i used the L'Oeral infallible (review coming soon) in 'Porcelain' and the Revlon Colour Stay Concealer in 'light' as my base (i didn't use a powder as i didn't need one in the end and the foundation was so mattifying). I then proceeded to fill in my eyebrows with my favourite brow product, the Seventeen Brown Pencil in Natural Brown. I then applied Rockateur to my cheeks as my blush, i tried to also use it as a sort of natural contour and i also applied a tiny amount of Benetint to my cheeks to see what it was like (i think i applied too much). I used call my bluff as my eye shadow base and filled most of my lid with taupe it off, i then added a little Tease (from the Naked 2 palette) to deepen up my crease a the tin doesn't have a deep enough shade for me to do that. Applying a thin black line to my upper lash using Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner and tight lined my waterline using the Model Co Eyeliner, i also added a little to my lower lash line too to make more of a smokey look.  I then applied a couple of coats of  the they're real mascara. To finish off the look i added a little of the benetint to my lips as a stain, i have to say i found it very drying and took it off after a couple of minutes!

Over all i really like this tin and i think the products are great quality, i think it will be really useful for travel! I've never owned anything from Benefit before, i think they are on the expensive side but i hope to try more in the future, 

I really enjoyed making this look, i'd love to know what do you think of this look? 

Also what are your favourite Benefit products? What should i try next?

NEW Benefit Roller Lash | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

Today i have for you my thoughts on this little sample of Benefit's Roller Lash that i got free with Elle magazine this month. Like many of you when i heard that Elle with giving away this free sample i rushed out to buy it. I'll admit i've never tried a Benefit mascara before so i'm not sure what there other ones are like but here are my thoughts on this one. 

I hope you enjoy :)

As always i'll start with packaging, i really like it, some of Benefit's packaging can look a little cheap and tacky but this is really sleek. Looking at their website the full size tube has even cooler packaging! The wand isn't usually the type i buy, i like a thick brush not small and plastic. Nevertheless i found it really effective, it gave my lashes length as well as volume and thickness. So i was really impressive as my lashes are small horrible things that never do what i want them to do! The formula is good, i've only worn it a couple times but it didn't flake or run at all so that was great. It dried pretty quick so i didn't smudge it. 

Overall i really like it. To be honest didn't do anything more special then my normal Max Factor 2000 calorie or Collection Extreme mascara but i'm glad i tried it and it wasn't a waste of money.  

Will i go and buy it? I will definitely consider it. I did really like it. Most of Benefits mascaras retail around £17.50 so in the past i've thought them a little on the pricey side when i can get the two i mentioned before for under £7. 

I'd love to know has anyone else tried this mascara?

What are your thoughts?

Will you go and get it when its released on the 12th February?

You can buy it here on the Benefit Website
