Product Spotlight: Benefit World Famous Neutrals: Most Glamorous Nudes

Hey Guys!

When we heard Benefit were coming out with three neutral eye shadow kits featuring both cream and powder shadows we knew we had to get our hands on one. They sound perfect, six complementary colours that you can combine in order to achieve the perfect smokey eye or daytime look, and they certainly lived up to our expectations.

As always, Benefit do not disappoint with their packaging. The shadows are housed in a super cute box that looks almost like a book, and is also fairly compact and suitable for travelling, making this kit a good choice for holidays.

Inside the box there are two creaseless cream shadows in the shades 'Birthday Suit' and 'My two cents', along with four powder shadows (from left to right, starting on the top row) in 'Call My Buff', 'Kiss Me I'm Tipsy', 'It's complicated' and 'Gilt-y Pleasure'. There's also a really helpful 'tips and tricks' booklet with application guidelines, and behind that a medium sized mirror, again making this a good option for travel.

As you can see from the swatches, all the shades are fairly subtle and 'everyday', although they can be built up to create a smokey evening look if that's desired.  From the Top down the swatches are: 'Birthday Suit', 'My two Cents', (Hard to see) 'Call My Buff', 'Kiss Me I'm Tipsy', 'It's Complicated' and 'Gilt-y Pleasure'.  Our favourite shades are ; 'Kiss Me I'm Tipsy', which is a great crease shade and 'My Two Cents' which is a great all over lid shade and as it's a creaseless  cream shadow it's very long lasting.

Product Spotlight: Benefit's 'The POREfessional'

Hey Guys!

Primer's are a product that not everyone uses everyday, but we swear by them for making our base last hours and smoothing the appearance of our skin. Benefit claims the product will: "Quickly minimise the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin!" and we agree! If it's applied correctly it really does what it says on the tin!

The product's packaging is in Benefit's typical cute, retro style and is extremely visually appealing. It is dispensed from a convenient tube which will give just the right amount of product for one application, however, once you reach the end of the tube it may be hard to get the leftover product out (something quite important for a product as pricey as this!).

As you can see from the photo the product is a peach tone and has a fairly thick consistency. It is not for you if you prefer a water based primer over a silcone based one, however we quite like the 'velvety' texture this gives the skin as we think helps with perfecting the finish of the skin.

You can purchase this product from Benefit stores all over the UK as well as most major department stores and some Boots stores for an RRP of £24.50.
